That Neanderthal may be a punk, but I wouldn't go outside with him just because of his looks. He does look like he could kill someone and think nothing of it. If he got his butt kicked he might be the type that would come back for revenge and shoot you.

He looks like he will be the winner of the Drop the Soap game in the showers at the prison!

I have kicked bigger butt to get up to fight. The real issue here is where was security. I have said it about Harrington and Deleware Park. Sercurity sucks. If the seniors who go there to play penny slots knew what was lurking in the place they would stay home. They pan handle. They bus thugs in by the hundreds giving them free dinner. 80% of them are drunk.


I hope Ocean Downs runs a cleaner place for old folk to enjoy thmeselves. I know the machines only take paper moneu but I still carry a roll of dimes if ya know what I mean.

Some of Ocean Downs security officers remind me of Barney Fife with one bullet and it is in his shirt pocket.
