    Not his first stint in prison, but due to his age (39) likely to be his last.

    Weird life choices Enrique. Becoming the ethnic frontmam for violent white nationalists was always PEAK “leopard-eating-your-own-face party” move. Dude earned himself a hilarious little spot in fuck around and find out history.
