RIP Robbie Robertson

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I always thought Robbie bore a strong resemblance to Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker.

Similar, but Robbie doesn't do the Evil Stare that comes natural with the dick guy.

I remember seeing news clips of Ramirez' trial after he was caught; it was back in the 90's I think. Anyway, when I saw the guy on tv I went :shock: damn, that guy looks like Robbie Robertson.

Phew, I was worried that you were going to say Richard Ramirez.
