But the documentary made a case that it was the owners of the buildings that hired goons to destroy them so they could collect insurance before tearing them down for bigger projects. It was all a scam and the poor tenants took the b...

Don Rickles was gold when he appeared on TV shows. He could make fun of anyone in the audience based on gender, age, religion, ancestry or sexual preference. He’s the type of comic that is no longer allowed on a talk show for fear of a boycott and a nasty hashtag Twitter. But in the 20th century, people enjoyed being insulted by Mr. Warmth. Why?
