“I wonder what triggered all that violence? He seems so gentle. I see what it is. Nobody has ever just sat down and honestly talked to that man.”
How touchy-feely of him. Hypocritical prick.
Reminds me of Richard Pryor talking about visiting the Arizona State Penitentiary while filming "Stir Crazy":
Gene Wilder loved to jump in the middle of the killers and start talkin', "Hi guys! How ya doin'?"
I said, "Gene, bring your ass out."
"What do you think they'd do to us if we were here, Rich?"
I say, "F___ us."
And Gene said, "I'm not homosexual."
"Homosexual ain't got nothin' to do with it. They don't ____ you 'cause you like it. They just ____ you just to see that look on your face."
Yipes. Good to be on the outside talking about that stuff.
What a great duo those two were.
Absolutely. Both so great.
Yeah, that’ll work. /s
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in Hell....The whole world will regret you did no good....
