You are very wise, Rich, to post a picture of these two together. Schock’s fate could prove to be quite similar if he doesn’t toe the line while seeking redemption from those who hold the keys to the future that lies ahead of him.

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
“The hair” he thought. “No, I can never achieve that man’s level of greatness when it comes to the hair. Yet I must surpass his greatness in some way. Hmmn, but how!”
And then he got the idea that would forever change his life. “While I can’t compete on the hair, he can never challenge my abs! I must show them to the world! My abs will be as his hair! A free ride up to the political stars! And perhaps photos of those abs with large chested women around me to throw off my doubters! Yes, it must be done! Get me my personal photographer! This one will not do at all!”

Schock, you are going to be a great hit in the prison beauty shop. The ideas you have will get all the inmates crazy for ya! First thing to do is to go straight King Rauner to have him write your retainer check. He does have spare change around somewhere. Or have him point you to the money tree to shake it and see what falls. Second, offer to be the kings driver of his 70’s van and where the outfit that Matt Damon wore in the liberace movie as his driver. Third, come up with a new hooch recipe for the prison. Those guys love to drink so try to come up with news ones while you are still free. Fourth, gain some weight you want to look bad in prison. Also start reading the bible too. Good luck
