He had been begging for spare change when he disarmed a robber armed with a meat cleaver, with his bare hands. Then he disappeared, fearing he was in trouble because his papers were not in order. But he was far from in trouble when they found him, and seen as a hero.

He asked the Italian police captain who handled his case to be his godfather.

That’s a shame, I would have been interested to hear the answer. Peace out.

AS we have all seen yours, it is a good idea to bow out. you normally have very little to offer other than negative opinion and innuendo.
