  • Fygee, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Phil Spector's been violent far earlier than now.

    Anyone remember the story where he held the Ramones at gunpoint?
  • ViolentSleep, on 06/14/2009, -0/+5And the longer they're violent, the more cocky they get. Explaining why they got caught at all.
  • Akraz, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5James J. Bulger has not been caught yet.
  • avataros, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4And here I was thinking they'd be bludgeoning others in the Golden Acres Retirement Community with the Oxygen tanks. They're just younger than I was expecting when I read the title ^^:
  • daveyWSS, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3I didn't know Phil Spector wore a wig.

  • zip000, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3I'd never seen him without his wig/toupee. Man that dude is ugly.

    See 'violent crime.'
  • 4rp4n3t, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1I am chagrined by your blatant use of 'vexed'.
  • dse78759, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Killing wife's lover != unreasonably violent

    Wearing a different wig every day to your murder trail == super mega crazy. lock'em up.
  • fishcough, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1According to some retired FBI guys I've spoken to, males reach a point in their late forties where they "age out" of criminal behavior. Explains one, "They haven’t been rehabilitated; their testosterone has just dropped enough that they just stop."
  • chadsmith729, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Cocaine is a helluva drug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PR_rzF8ofw

  • Spartandog, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0Phil Spector looks exactly like a Simpsons caricature - just paint him yellow.
  • indyfilmaker08, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0If that means old age translates to disability, immobility and inutility, then that holds true...
  • nigelsan, on 06/15/2009, -0/+0the hamburgler is still around too...coincidence?
  • inactive, on 06/15/2009, -2/+1Lame topic, it suggests that people can't commit crimes in their old age or its a rare occurrence.

    Buried.
  • inactive, on 06/15/2009, -6/+5At least now they are caught. Thank god.
  • landmonster, on 06/15/2009, -5/+4I hope Phil Spector gets raped to *****.
  • mattmacneil, on 06/15/2009, -7/+3Old age doesn't dilute violence.
