Yesterday, the principal talked about the story of El Kapun ( thats what it sounds like to me) and somebody's old hair. Basically, its a story where El Kapun is an imba crime mastermind, and somebody's old hair is a defense attorney who helped El Kapun to escape punishment. One day, he decided that doing these, supporting an evil villain in the eyes of the world, just isn't right. And he has a son whom he don't want to corrupt,but wanted to teach integrity. So the plot went on like any cliche story and somebody's old hair decided to help the arrest of El Kapun instead.
What was going in my head was not how cliched that story is, though i can't blame it since its damn old, but rather ''wait a damn minute, you mean that bastard took El Kapun's money, acted like El Kapun can rely on him, then back stabbed El Kapun and got away with all the crap he helped.'' So didn't he like... benefitted the most? Money + no jail.
Not wanting to force a conclusion without further research, i Googled. And the results...
El Kapun -> Al Capone
somebody's old hair -> Easy Eddie, Edward J. O'Hare
According to wikipedia, ''O'Hare and Capone began collaborating in business and in law. O'Hare made a second fortune through his ties to Capone, but he grew tired of working with thugs.'' This means that O'Hare was even more of a bastard than i thought. Though to be fair, he was kind of forced to join a gang.
Now, according to another website.http://www.snopes.com/glurge/ohare.asp.
If you read it, its kind of pretty clear already. If you're lazy to read, just know that my thoughts were true. And ya, that integrity thing O'Hare wanted to teach? I don't see how it got linked. Maybe integrity has a different meaning at that time i dunno, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't involve receiving a large amount of money for doing dirty stuff, betraying the person who gave you those riches and escaping jail. A real good man would have thrown himself into jail and donated those riches. I'm also pretty sure thats what the most evil villains do; hide behind a weaker evil villain, then when the time comes, steal the spot light and take over as the REAL antagonist of the story. The best part? That main villain was publicized as a hero to the world.
