Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt, born on this day in 1947, was a decorated military veteran and a high-ranking associate of the Black Panther Party in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at UCLA under the GI Bill and began working with the Black Panther Party. Pratt was also a target of the FBI's COINTEL program, which sought to subvert black power movements.
In 1972, Pratt was wrongfully convicted for murder and served 27 years in prison, eight of which were in solitary confinement. Pratt was freed in 1997 when his conviction was vacated due to the prosecution concealing wiretaps that proved he was not at the scene of the murder.
"You can't look back twenty-seven years and say it was a lost. I’m still living. I run about five miles every morning, and I can still bench press 300 pounds ten times. I can give you ten reps. Also I hope I'm a little more intelligent and I'm not crazy. It's a hell of a gain that I survived."

He could’ve just been a barber, or beer guy. No instead he said to himself “my takes are important and people need to hear them”
you know, I bet he would make a really good beard trimming guy at the barbers. he'd know all the oils and shit you want in there and everything. instead, he decided to become a social fascist and now we have to kill him
Va*sh wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat dreaming of the life he should’ve had, echoes of “i recommend a boar hair brush” and “jojoba oil” ceaseless in his head
Yeah looks the type to talk a big game then back down immediately when confronted. Then whine about it later like a coward.
