Fabiano heard the drunk's disjointed chatter, fell into painful indecision. He also said nonsense words, chatted for nothing. But he got angry at the comparison, butted the wall. He was brutal, yes sir, he had never learned, he couldn't explain himself. Was he arrested for this? How was? So, does a man go to jail because he can't speak properly?
