We're joined again by friend of the show Shaun Arredondo for round two, this time to talk about notable racist and bare knuckle fighter, William Poole, better known as Bill the Butcher. Not because he was a butcher by trade though. More so because he loved leaving people as a bloody mess. Preferably the Irish because well, he hated them like only somebody of English descent can manage. Gangs of New York made him famous, and now we talk about the real man behind the character. Enjoy!
