It would have really been much classier with the Webley-Fosbery .455 automatic revolver.

"A" Webley-Fosbery was used to kill Sam Spade's partner. (The script writer got the 6-round .455 confused with the 8-round .38. Too lazy to check that the book got it right.)

Wow, what a story. That must be what led him to make sure that never happened to anyone. Wow. Bravo! I don’t watch that show but this might make me start.

You’re suggesting a modern day Rock Hudson scenario?
Why pretend nowadays?

It is still hurtful to the career, though not as much as it used to.

He seems like a good guy otherwise. I’ve never heard anything bad about him.

Everything I have ever heard was kind. Who knows?
I don’t think about it when I watch movies.
The point is suspension of reality and to be entertained.

Ultimately, we don’t know. However, I think people act in one of two basic ways when they are subjected to sexual abuse. The less decent ones join the crowd and become abusers themselves. The more decent ones, who cannot overcome their trauma, will internalize it and follow the pathway of homosexuality.

No description of the perps almost certainly means they were of "South Asian" origin.

Which is British for Pakistani.
