Turn it down a notch or two.

I have seen the posts but am at a loss for words cause of how much i loved him. Pryor is one of the greatest comedic minds ever. But Pryor was much worse, He killed almost every night so maybe people dont know what to say or are afraid. I noticed Bill Cosby took time out of his busy schedule of drugging women and having children out of his marriage to say his was great but of course was to dirty.

Sure I might feel bad for knocking off some old geezer who's blind in one eye, can't see out the other, but then I thought to myself, what did he do? Oh that's right he was responsible for the death of at least four people. Give me a break.
