"We were at a local bar, Joseph and I, and this guy" "started mouthing off to Joseph, saying ugly things to him." "Wanted to prove his manhood, I guess, by taking on a pro, you know?" "So I wanted to stop him." "I wanted to put this loudmouth in his place and end this ugly talk." "But, of course, Joseph, he beat him." "This local tough guy was so badly humiliated he left with his friends." "He then returned 10 minutes later and shot Joseph in the head." "My father's favorite son."
