Life Imitates Art – Ernest T. Bass
Posted by Steve Kremer in Strange True News on December 3rd, 2008
The guy on the left is real criminal Tony Parkinson, the guy on the right is fictional criminal character Ernest T. Bass from the classic Andy Griffith TV show.
When I read this story about real criminal Tony P. assaulting his ex-wife by driving a full size pickup truck on to her car..then throwing a rock at her..I had to think of Ernest T. Bass who showed his love by throwing a brick or rock at his “truueee love!” Here’s a clip of Ernest T. from YouTube. Hopefully Tony P. will spend some real time in a real jail nothing like the one in Mayberry.
