Re: The Dead Body of Clarence Shaffer in 1937

There's none of that romance, or top drawer photography, when the police shoot one of the modern versions of those dipshits around here today. Or, more likely, when they shoot each other (pretty common occurrence) at the local pool hall, restaurant, or video game emporium.

Course, they don't wear the same quality of hat these days. Makes a huge difference...

Re: The Dead Body of Clarence Shaffer in 1937

Why can't they just all whip around, and shoot each other all at once? Like that scene in 'King of Hearts"?
