      It’s ok, I’ve met Carrol O’Conner and he pretty much fits the memes well so his legend will live on in truth at least.

          My dad worked in the art department for ‘In the Heat of the Night’. I was an extra on one of the extra long season finales. My dad took me to the police station set and he was there being a racist/mysogynistic fuck.

              I mean it could have been a momentary thing. Could have just been pissed at something. This was in the south though. So who knows.
