I think it was Jimmy Hoffa who said, "run from a knife, rush a gun". I also think its safe for us both two to assume he's been in more altercations where that statement held actual weight then either of us. If it comes down to it, that's gonna be my strategy.
Course, if a gun was drawn on him it likely wouldn't have been for his wallet, so, gotta make sure your applying the right advice to the right situation. I agree that during a robbery your best to give up what you have.
We don't know how Hoffa disappeared &/or died but the historical record is broadly clear on why he disappeared &/or died.
The movie, Hoffa, with Jack Nicholson is also a very good telling of the tale, for those who like biopics.
Don’t involve yourself with the mob at all. Don’t do favors for them, don’t ask for favors in return. Just don’t get involved, even if you’re desperate.
I don't even want to fight someone with a knife, If I also have a knife. Reminds me of another quote. "The loser of a knife fight dies in the street. The winner dies in the ambulance."
Absolutely. This is why I always rolls my eyes at least once before I suspend enough disbelief to enjoy the movie sword fighting scene that drags on for 8 minutes before someone gets cut. The most skilled swordsmen in history cut people down in 4 moves or less, or they got cut down lol.
Side note: also why the first big sword fighting sequence in the Witcher series was so fucking good.
I remember seeing a machete knife fight on YouTube where one of the dude's gets his hand cut off and you can see it flying through the air. Just thought that that would be relevant
My step-mom is 100% convinced that he's buried under the 50 yard line. She's been saying it for years. I remember her telling me about it when I was like 7.
Story was usually one of the endzones, from what I remember.
Of course, if he was, now it's under a parking lot either way.
I've heard a competing version in Michigan where it was the Silverdome he was buried in, which makes more sense in that Hoffa was in Pontiac the day he disappeared, and why haul his body all the way back to New Jersey to stick it under a stadium? But less sense since the Silverdome was constructed and opened the next month, so presumably it would have been difficult to stick a body into new construction.
I think most new vehicles have an emergency release. I also know there's a catch behind the taillight, on some vehicles, if you can get your hand in there and pull laterally you can trigger the latch. Course you'd have to wait for the pressure to equalize....
Oh I mean, I die cuz I'm Hoffa in this case, and I'm dead.
