From the website of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read: "My apprenticeship in crime began in the 1970s. This had me robbing massage parlours and taking on contracts to maim and kill rivals. Once I had obtained a doctorate as a "[standover man]", robbing drug dealers and other criminals, who [funnily] enough couldn't report me to the police, became [childs play]. I once told a friend "why rob a straight guy of $20 when you can rob a drug dealer of $10,000 and he can't [go running] to the police?" After all both involved some work on my behalf, but the man in the street was less likely to give up his $20 as he had to work hard for it. For the drug-dealers it came easy, so why would they put up a fight. Although some of my victims chose to chew razor blades (at their own request of course), before they would hand over cash? And I am the psychopath! ❋ Yammer (2004)
