Don’t mess with Jack Shivel

Back in 2008 when we were attributing the ALCAZAR chips, one bit of info I found out from Jack’s son John was that father Jack owned a Liquor store in Huntington Park, Los Angeles

Now back in the day, as happens today, stores were robbed. As we know today, robbing a store is an accepted part of doing business. Take the goods and walk out

Jack, however, didn’t see ot that way. On three separate occasions Jack shot and killed would be robbers. I wonder how that would fly today.

Jack died in 1979 of “unnatural causes”. Yikes!

By the way, John said that his father’s name was scratched off the chips when he divorced his mother
