Fuckin' BANG!

I remember reading a couple years back when he was diagnosed. He was a piece of shit, but an interesting character nonetheless.

[euphoric]

yup, his name comes up at work often because he claims he picked up HCV from having to share razors in gaol....which is a bit suss coming from a guy covered in prison tatts and who paid someone to cut his ears off.

Love him or hate him, he was an interesting character. Met him a few times while living in QLD. Made for some very colorful conversation.
RIP bloke.

A glorified criminal, the Ned Kelly of our era?

Nah, I prefer ol' Neds story.

Chopper was an interesting character nonetheless.

RIP comical thug

Bet it was that slimey prick Neville fuckin' Bartos..


In all seriousness, RIP Uncle Chop.. Regardless of his past, it's still a sad time for a family somewhere.

A murderer died. And?....

[Desmo]

Good fucking riddance.

[TurboR1]

Harden the fuck up Chopper.

[Flamedance]

It is a memorial thread guys, love him or hate him, please refrain from disrespecting the recently deceased.

[truewheel]

Interesting to read he refused a liver transplant because he didn't think he deserved it.

I never admired the guy and I don't agree with the Aussie cultural tradition of Ned Kelly-erising its more infamous thugs - but anyone who has no fear of death gets my respect.

[shmoo]

Bet it was that slimey prick Neville fuckin' Bartos..

Your mate.

[SomeBloke]

Rest in peace.

He knew exactly what he had done, and had seemed to come to terms with it. At least he didn't die pretending he was a saint. Much respect and disrespect.
