But there's some fierceness in him that the camera captures, like an aura or a penumbra picked up by a special lens. He makes you believe in the madness of this utter rotter. Chopper's claim to fame, aside from the most exquisite prison-tattoo collection this side of the McAlester State Penitentiary, appears to be that he survived many murder attempts in prison, some with extraordinary disdain. When it comes, Chopper appears not quite to notice. Again and again the assailant drives a shiv into his muscular body, through tattoo and hair, deep, reaching vital organs, releasing a red tide.
Chopper simply looks at the fellow with amazement and then disappointment.
Knife comes out. Goes in again. Chopper is almost amused that such a roach could aspire to killing him, the mighty Chopper, so he decides it would be uncool to defend himself. Knife goes in. Comes out again.
