If you start at about 2 minutes in on this, it details the defendant attempting to nicjname himseld "Honest Don." This was approximately three weeks ago. I saw three clips on the news where he described himself as such. Each time, his facial expression had the satisfaction common among sociopaths when they think they have gotten over.



I had hoped that Seth Meyers would have researched this a bit more, until I recognized that he wasn't old enough to be familiar with the reference. I'm not only old enough to recognize it, but have invested the three minutes it took me to get these links. Add to that my understanding of the sociopathic mind, and I have a brief OP that I think is factual.

As a boy, the defendant's favorite cartoon was "Beany and Cecil." This featured a character called "Dishonest John," an imitation of Dudley Do-Right's enemy Snidely Whiplash on "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show." The defendant reportedly loved Dishonest John, because the character reminded him of his father.



When the Mattel games "Jumping DJ" came out in 1962, the defendant would play it for hours. Since he had few friends and always cheated, he ended up playing it by himself.

There is a rumor that the defendant wanted one of the Bobbleheads he is peddling to reflect his love of, and identification with, Dishonest John.

I know I saw it at least a couple of times. But when I skipped school, I was more interested in Rocky & Bullwinkle. Much better show, in my opinion.

What about this facial expression? The image in this article?

Sorry I am not tech savvy enough to post the actual photo into this message.

It ran from 1950-55. The cartoon came after, in 1962.

That he would associate his father with the Dishonest John character is hilarious but old Fred sure did look like Simon Legree.
