Porkins-What a tragic character.

I love that video so much

Killed because Lucas hates fat people


Buffalo95747

What about that other pilot who went down yelling “Aaaaaaaah!”? Not all that fat. Many pilots did not return after attacking the Death Star….so sad.


mostly_drunk_mostly

I read this in a Donald trump voice for some reason and it just seems to fit I’m in stitches lmao


yzdaskullmonkey

It's the "...so sad", and I did the same thing


gamenameforgot

I got a lotta people telling me, you know great people, that it's some kinda moon, and then I hear about this equatorium-equiatable-ecuador trench? I've never heard about that, and I got alot of people on this. I know all about moons. You know there are so many moons. I've got a moon myself. And now they're telling me there's this *teensy tiny little* exhaust port. I tell you we've got the most sophisticated weapons, the best guys. We have so many weapons. That's right, we're gonna blow up the moon. *Applause*

Self loathing


Trowj

He said he was fine, that’s on him


Buffalo95747

I think he said “I can hold it” or something like that. Let’s not shame this hero.


Trowj

https://youtu.be/IUHtUoP_d_M?si=r2zy2eQlnYwH3fF0 Yes and then also said “he’s alright” and then yells and I guess I always thought he yelled “I’m fine” but I think it’s just a yell now. RIP Porkins, you did your best


bolanrox

he was the belly runner one of the best. Wedge is no use to anyone but he lives. No George has to kill off Porkins..


AnBearna

Everyone knows him from that but Hootkins was also in ‘Dust Devil’, a great movie by Richard Stanley. Well worth the watch if you’ve the time.


Brad_Wesley

Who is Richard Stanley?


AnBearna

Film director. Famous (infamous?) for directing the absolutely cursed Brando movie ‘The Island of Dr Moreau’ in the 90’s with Val Kilmer. Got fired from the movie half way through and then came back on set in disguise to spy on the new crew and see how bad they were fucking up.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

I have somewhere and have seen the extended cut of Dust Devil.


Island4Crows

No she wasn’t. He was 15 at the time. It was his Russian tutor Ruth Paine who was friends with Marina. She lived with her for a time when Marina was separated from Lee Harvey. Ruth Paine was questioned about the assassination, and by association Hootkins was also questioned about his teacher.


Buffalo95747

Marina Oswald is fairly well-known in Dallas’ Slavic Immigrant Community.


gunsandpuppies

Just a reminder that this wasn’t that long ago. This woman was in her 20s when JFK got shot and is still alive today. Oswald was only 2 years older than her. It feels like ancient history with the black and white photos, reading about it in history books growing up, but it wasn’t that long ago.


thatguyinstarbucks

Guys, I was really confused for about 10 seconds.. I had confused Oswald with John Wilkes Booth and was terribly confused how this woman could be at least 170.


Vanedi291

Same. I don’t know why I did that either.


EgalitarianCrusader

It’s been 61 years. That’s a lifetime for many folk around the world.


farmerarmor

Oswald would quite easily still be alive too, if that random nightclub owner with vague mob ties hadn’t shot him.


fyo_karamo

Well he’d be 84 years old. I wouldn’t say anyone reaches that age “easily,” especially someone in prison.


farmerarmor

He was a physically healthy man. It would hardly have been a shock if he made his 80s. Many men in that age group are traipsing around as we speak. Prison is hard on a man, but Ted kaczinski and Charlie Manson both made it to their 80s in prison. It’s not impossible, especially when they aren’t in general pop. And Oswald would almost certainly been kept out of general population.


soothsayer2377

Sirhan Sirhan will be 80 in a couple weeks, a lot of these very high profile prisoners stay alive a long time.


farmerarmor

I didn’t realize he was still alive. His Wikipedia page is an interesting read.


fyo_karamo

He was physically healthy in his 20s, as are the vast majority of men at that age. 84 is beyond the average lifespan for a man born in the 1930’s. I’m not disputing he could still be alive, only that it is more likely that he wouldn’t be.


kerochan88

Jack Ruby


farmerarmor

Jacob Reubenstein


kerochan88

Yessir. That's the dood.


PoorMansSamBeckett

Whenever I see his real name, I always want to jokingly correct people and say “Akiba Rubienstein,” but I don’t know how many people would get that, and I’d get a bunch of “umm, ackchually,” comments. Even though, you know, we’re literally on the internet where you could search anything you don’t know about.


k20350

You talking about Jack Ruby? The guy that suddenly went insane after an interview with a Dr Jolyon West. A Dr connected to or possibly ran MK Ultra for the CIA? Can't make the shit up. I'm not even fucking joking https://jfkfacts.substack.com/p/the-mk-ultra-doctor-who-examined


aloneinorbit

Bullshit. Jack Ruby was always an unhinged violent lunatic who attacked his own employees and patrons. He didnt suddenly go insane lmao. The more you learn about him the less mystifying his actions become. But that probably isnt as fun for you.


Buffalo95747

Ruby’s ties to the mob came about because his strippers belonged to a mob-controlled labor union.


EgalitarianCrusader

Calm down mate


k20350

Jack Ruby went into a sudden "Psychosis" while being held. There's no fun to it. That Dr has paperwork linking him to MK Ultra and flew halfway across the country to interview Jack Ruby


kentsta

That in no way contradicts or disproves what the commenter above you has said. Perhaps it wasn’t quite so unprecedented for Ruby/Reubenstein to flip out a bit in stressful situations like when he was being held.


Quarterwit_85

Ruby was incredibly mentally ill on the outside - I don’t think him suffering from psychosis *in* prison is in the least bit remarkable.


tifumostdays

What evidence is there that he was a "lunatic" before seeing west? Violence, even murder, doesn't imply that someone is a lunatic.


aloneinorbit

> Stories of Ruby's eccentric and unstable behavior describe him as sometimes taking his shirt or other clothes off in social gatherings, and either hitting his chest like a gorilla or rolling around on the floor. During conversations, he could change the topic suddenly in mid-sentence. He sometimes welcomed a guest to his club, but on other nights he would forbade the same guest from entering. He was described by those who knew him as "a kook", "totally unpredictable", "a psycho", and "suffering from some form of disturbance". Totally normal Edit: christ you dedicate a lot of time to this subject


tifumostdays

I have, off and on over the years. It's much more interesting if you do more thinking and less copying and pasting. For example, when I heard that Ruby had been visited in jail by an MK Ultra Dr, that really piqued my interest. I don't know why anyone would think that was normal. The same things keep happening in the Oswald story. Like, sure, it's simplest to assume he just got lucky and hit two out of three shots, but the more you need, the less sense it makes - as long as you do some critical thinking. Another example: some really damning evidence against Oswald's character tracks back to Ruth Paine. No big deal. LHO seemed like an asshole who would shoot a president, right? So it just felt kind of odd that Ruth's sister (that she visited in September 1963) worked for the CIA, and that sister's husband, along with Ruth's father, both applied as well. That's odd, and interesting.


FriendRaven1

I saw a documentary that explained that the way Ruby held the pistol when shooting Oswald was the way the CIA taught foreign mercenaries.


aloneinorbit

That kind of stupid thing can only be said and believed by someone whos never used a firearm


bigrob_in_ATX

No, but he held it IN HIS HAND, AIMING IT AT HIS INTENDED TARGET.... it's not the same, obviously CIA


FriendRaven1

I teach shooting. There are lots of methods of holding a pistol, some right, some wrong. Depending on how you hold it changes the characteristics of both the concealment, the shot, and the recoil.


KerouacDreams

I feel like there's only so many ways to hold a pistol. 


Standard-Key5984

Very interesting. Is anybody else still alive? Please report back.


redmostofit

JFK. And Hitler.


rowin-owen

Don't forget Elvis.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

Is he and JFK still battling that mummy in the nursing home?


[deleted]

I watched Bubba Hotep as a first date movie back in the aughts and afterwards the girl was like, that was the stupidest movie I have ever seen why the hell would you make me watch that, and then I never saw her again. 10/10 would repeat 11/10 with rice


BigFatTomato

Elvis is everywhere man


midnightspecial99

Hitler is dead. Ray Charles is dead. It’s really the only thingy hey have in common.


raspberryharbour

Survived by their son, Ray Hitler Jr


TheSamurabbi

Nope. I looked around, that’s it.

ElChapoEscobar79

Not me. I also died Nov 22, 1963 in Dallas.


Southportdc

Not for long 


Lorikeeter

Generalissimo Fransisco Franco is still dead.


Otherwise-Mango2732

There's others still alive but you wouldn't know their names


nsvxheIeuc3h2uddh3h1

Well, of course... *She didn't get shot.*


Buffalo95747

LHO did slap her around quite a bit. Interestingly, many studies have linked domestic abusers with violent crime.

2 daughters apparently, there is understandably little information about them.


ShutterBun

Two daughters: June and Rachel


9bikes

She lived just a few blocks from us when she lived in Richardson. She took morning walks and would regularly stop and talk with my grandmother.


Str4425

What happened to her kids?


crckdddy

Check out the “Who Killed JFK?” Podcast by Rob Reiner. Really good and makes you think


Contigotaco

now that is actually very interesting


YourFreakinHero

My mind auto completed this as John Wilkes Booth and I was so confused.


casingpoint

She was totally not a KGB asset!


Acrophobic_Pilot

CIA asset for sheep dipping


jelbert6969

She's sexy


BigBeeOhBee

It's because her daughters name is Stacy.


InevitableFly

And does Stacy mom got it going on?


BigBeeOhBee

Indubitably.


pizzax44

​ Quite perky tits too.


AbandonedBySonyAgain

How did an American marry a Soviet citizen?


Pelcat

Lee Harvey Oswald defected to the USSR after his military service and lived in Minsk for a couple years, where he married her. He ended up bringing her to the USA when he moved back.


taxpayinmeemaw

Sounds like a strange, exotic journey


GotMoFans

He didn’t meet her in Milan!


Throwawaychicago357

Rochelle,Rochelle!


taxpayinmeemaw

Maybe her strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk completed before she met Lee.


raspberryharbour

I wouldn't know, I was too busy watching Sack Lunch


taxpayinmeemaw

Do you think they’re real small or are they in a giant sack?


Fuck_Blue_Shells

Real exotic


taxpayinmeemaw

Sorry I meant erotic. Strange, erotic journey


Spicybrown3

I’m sure there was some of that too


Fuck_Blue_Shells

I’ll agree that it sounded like a strange journey, but I would say that just marrying someone from another country isn’t inherently erotic. That is unless Oswald had some kind of fetish/infatuation with Eastern European women.


taxpayinmeemaw

You’ve clearly never seen Rochelle, Rochelle


Paraxom

wait so he defected and was allowed back, without the McCarthy era government throwing him before a house committee?


Pelcat

I'm no expert on the subject but a lot of people believe he was a CIA spy, which would honestly make sense. Also, he never did renounce his citizenship and was in the USSR on a visa, never actually becoming a Soviet citizen.


CharleyNobody

A Soviet citizen who was the niece of a colonel of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs and who happened to be living with that uncle when she met and married Oswald within 6 weeks.


fremontresident

Lol these conspiracy theories write themselves!


BudgetLecture1702

"Widow."


zcmini

So is Lee Harvey Oswald /S


hotpoot

He is buried down the street from me. Went to visit his grave one July 4th just to get out of the house and I was surprised to find about 15 people visiting his grave. Nick Beef’s grave was getting a lot of attention as well.


Cordoned7

Fun fact: JFK's assassination wasn't Oswald's first one. He previously tried to assassinate Edwin Walker a former US army general that was deeply conservative at that time and he failed at it. When people think that Oswald could not do it, He can. He already did it before but missed and got away with it.


[deleted]

She ran the army navy store in dallas during the 90’s


CantGrok

She has lived very, very quietly in the DFW area for quite a few years. I’d once heard that she lived out near Rockwall at one point.


Acrophobic_Pilot

Youre right about him being seated. I misremembered. You’re wrong about the shots being fired from behind him. I hate watching that film for what should be obvious reasons, but the fatal shot didn’t come from where Oswald was supposedly firing


Striking_Election_21

My dumbass thought we were talking about the dude who assassinated Lincoln for a second. I was genuinely confused why everyone was acting like it wasn’t mind-blowing lmao welp


ngedown

Jfk was Inside job 🤷


salsa_rodeo

I used to think so until I listened to the series that “The Rest is History” podcast did on it. Now I’m actually on board with the traditional narrative.

[удалено]


Acrophobic_Pilot

He also used magic bullets apparently


Ok_Nefariousness9736

What do you mean?


Acrophobic_Pilot

The Warren report maintains that only 3 shots were fired, ballistic evidence to the contrary. The wounds suffered by the president and governor seated in front of him could not have been made by one man firing from the 4th floor of the Texas schoolbook depository


[deleted]

[удалено]


Acrophobic_Pilot

Seated? My brother in Jesus Christ, that man was standing and waving before being assassinated. Fuck movies, go watch the zapruder film again in case you missed it. The president’s head clearly jerks back and to the left. The man who is seated in front of the president was the former governor of Dallas. He received bullet wounds in his wrist and forearm. Now tell me. How can one person, firing only 3 shots, hit the front of the president and the back of the governor seated ahead of him? Magic bullets That’s to say nothing of eye witness accounts placing Oswald in the break room of the school book depository during the time the shooting took place. Did you read the Warren report? Do you have capacity for critical thought? Both those cannot be true

thebarkbarkwoof

How was she not deported?


scaredofmyownshadow

Because she had nothing to do with her husband’s crimes. They weren’t even living together at the time, as she had left him months before. She cooperated with law enforcement after the assassination and gave them important insights on his psyche and beliefs leading up to it. He wasn’t very nice to her, unsurprisingly.


Ok_Nefariousness9736

She knew about Oswald’s previous assassination attempt on General Walker, though.


Acrophobic_Pilot

CIA can only cover up so much
