Take it from me, busting out of the Missouri State Penitentiary wasn't an easy nut to crack.

And even if someone pulled it off, why the hell would they go shoot Martin Luther King?

When I worked there, James Earl Ray was the only SOB to bust out in something like 100 yrs. L Hall was different, they, including I, turned them loose every day. But behind the walls, forget it.

I always smelled a rat over the MLK assassination. The average con, once they get out, is going to get drunk, get some pussy, and try to lay low.

They AREN'T gong to go assassinate a political figure of that magnitude...unless someone makes it worth their trouble. And if they're lying low...how the hell is anyone going to find them to make it worth their trouble?

That's right, Chas.

I've always believed our own government killed JFK too. I find it hard to believe a "lone gunman" would kill the POTUS. It certainly is possible, but what would one man stand to gain? It's far more likely that there are much more powerful people behind it, who stand to gain much. Both MLK and JFK were men who had stepped on the toes of such people.

And then get conveniently whacked in Dallas Police Headquarters before he had a chance to talk. :rolleyes:
