2023 RIP Thread

The Unabomber lived in a shack for years so he might have adjusted. I think some prisoners can get moved down from the highest level through good behavior and can have contact with other inmates. As a national security risk, I doubt Hannsen qualified.

I doubt anyone outside immediate family is sad they died. But they are notable deaths and might as well be in this thread.

Actor Treat Willims is dead from a motorcycle crash

I only remember him from the so so The Substitute sequals, the decent monster movie Deep Rising and a Tales from the Crypt episode where he played a con man that married old women and killed them for the inheritance money.

He was good in Chesapeake Shores which my wife enjoyed, and he was good as Stanley in a remake of Streetcar Named Desire in the 80's IIRC

The Road was an incredible book as well. When asked in an interview, Shelby Foote called McCarthy the best (or his favorite, can't remember which) living American writer. High praise indeed.
