Lol, he ran for the hills just like all the keyboard warriors on here would. I didn't make him say he was a street fighting expert and then puss out when I mention a prominent gym in Milwaukee we could spar at. That was all him, he embodies all the bravery that is the pacstan keyboard warriors of NSB.Comment
