One of the best shows and this one of the best scenes...the dialog, the 21ft premise and ending up being killed by his own knife. It's often said that truth is stranger than fiction...this show's fiction often rivaled truth or at least an enhanced reality.
Not really the “CSI” team would be able to tell by the angel of the entry point that he fell on the blade and he’d have a mark from what ever he tripped on 200 plus sized guy so he’d just have to do the same paper work as if he pulled his gun
Guy charged me with a knife, fell into a hole, stabbed himself in the skull. Seems pretty straightforward and easy to me. Now shooting a woman through her dead boyfriend while laying almost drugged out in a bathtub....
I have watched through this entire series multiple times. Including watching every episode as it dropped new. I am so glad for City Primeval. Timothy is fantastic in this role.
It was just good to have another season. But the villain was just not good enough. Wasn’t that smart. Just a loose cannon that somehow was able to just keep being a loose cannon forever.
One of my favourite deaths on this show. Just so stupid and random, it just takes all the wind out of the expected confrontation between a gunslinger cop and a sadistic knife nut with his zany theory. And of course it's so low-probability that everyone suspects Raylan just somehow killed the guy with his own knife.
Mythbusters tested the 21 foot rule. It only works against someone if by surprise and only if they don't have a round already chambered. Trying it against a fully-aware and ready lawman with a round chambered is a guaranteed death. That isn't even taking into account Raylan's quickdraw abilities.
I remember it differently. They showed that you will get off one shot, but not really well aimed, and not sure to 100% incapacitate the attacker before he reaches you with his knife. And with bullet wounds, apart from the ones that hit the brainstem, the attacker will be alive long enough that he still can cause deadly injuries to the defender with his stabbing item. So chances are, both die. With less than 21 feet or when the attacked has his back towards the attacker, if i remember correct, they didn't even manage to get the gun out of the holster. Somewhere else i saw someone trying out dropping to the ground backwards or a sideways roll, as this moved the attacked out of the direct path of the attacker and resulted in enough time gain to aim. (still no guarantee to be unharmed or survive)
They tested the science behind it without the psychological aspect they were useing safety knifes and guns and not trying to hurt eatch other so not taking in the high chance of a hesitation on the shooters side or the boost in physical ability adrenaline gives as for your pointing out round in the camber cops arnt usaly allowed to do that or even touch there weapons till a check list of things happen so yes the rule of 21 is a thing it’s why it’s taught Tom self defense class and in non sports martial arts
It's not a "rule" in any event. It is simply a recognition of hard reaction time math and the limitations of bullets versus human beings. The attacker has no mental lag, they are initiating. it will take them "x" time to cover "y" distance (minus the length of their arm and weapon) to get a potentially lethal blow. There are hard physiological times from recognition of the "go" signal to the body being able to start the draw and get a round off. The minimum neurological time for any human to perceive a stimulus is about .25 seconds, at that point your "draw to first effectively aimed shot" time becomes meaningful. Given the average time from start to impact of a knife by the attacker, you need either a rocket fast draw, or, better, to also have trained not just to draw, but draw and move, or, better, not left a clear lane between you and a suspected aggressor in the first place. There are literally 1980's era training videos on this on youtube featuring Dan Inosanto. Mythbusters is not a qualified source of information on defensive firearms use.
@@carebear8762 i agree, just wanted to add to _Mythbusters is not a qualified source of information on defensive firearms use_ ->Which they never intended it to be. They were just testing out things they heard for their and the viewers interest.
That disappointed tone that Raylan has when he said, "I woulda said something. I swear to God, I didn't see it either." Almost like he wanted to kill him.
i don't think the 21 foot rule was made for Raylan. Remember his first Crow (Duey?) where the Crow had a shotgun AIMED at Raylan, and Raylan asked: "Do you think You can rack a load Before *i* can draw? It's GOOD to be lightning fast
@@brianbalster3521 The twenty one foot rule is commonly trained for by law enforcement in the Tueller drill. Sgt Tueller was with a agency out west (Vagas I believe) when he analyzed that if someone is within 21 feet they can and have stabbed people because an average person can cover this distance before most people can draw and fire a shot much less a disabling shot. Remember just because you shoot someone doesn't mean the fall down right then and there. Even if you totally destroy the heart the average person can still function before the brain shuts down due to blood loss. This is why LEOs really don't like letting people get closer than roughly 21 feet.
He did he’s not a cop to serve justice he’s a cop to punish what he sees as evil he’s fine locking people like Ava up but if your violent he’d rather put a bullet in you instead
It’s more about Raylan’s southern hospitality and style and his respect for the game that is life rather than a raw desire to kill him. There’s a certain honor that should be respected by both parties when you play the game for blood.
Years ago before I retired I watched a fool charge an old partner of mine with a butcher knife. There wasn't a hole just uneven sidewalk. He didn't stab himself, but his forehead sure made a nice splat. Always beware of uneven sidewalks.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that FX is pumping out these clips ahead of City Primeval, but why are they all so dark? I'm cross referencing this with the episode on Hulu and it's noticeably darker, as have been the other clips uploaded on this channel.
It reminds me of the shootout with the icepick man in the second season. Raylan knew what was going to happen and pulled the tablecloth. In this scenario Raylan just had to take a step or two backwards to be more than twenty-one feet away.
Reminds me of the Raylan quote from the first season 🤣 Raylan Givens: “You're gonna bob and weave out of the path of a bullet? .. That I'd like to see.”
The 21 foot rule came about after Dan Inosanto showed how he could get off the ground and put his knife to people's throats before they could draw. The problem is, Inosanto was an elite athlete, ran 10 seconds for the hundred yard dash in highschool , and was quick as lightning. Making a rule based on an elite level person's ability is dumb. Will get most people shot
Several colleagues over different jobs have trained with Dan or his immediate students (I haven't), they basically speak in awe of the guy's skill, despite holding high ranks themselves.
@@aaronleverton4221 The guy is a walking encyclopedia of martial arts. I've trained with some of his students. They probably know a hundredth of what he knows./
I found it odd that they gave up on the whole quick draw thing after season 1. With this scene I thought we were finally going to get more but nope! Dude had to go screw it up and fall in a hole.
The fire arms master on set probably told them this is the only way he was winning the fight, Rayleigh isn’t really a quick draw he’s a little above average but the reason he wins is he really dosent have a problem killing you so the other guy even if it’s his job to kill will hesitate even if it’s only for a fraction of a sec that means he wins in this case he’s going up against someone basically just like him he likes to kill he’s not going to hesitate he’s inside a distance where he can sprint and take him to the ground before he can full clear the holster and aim the bad guy has about20 pounds on him meaning he’s going to be stunned when he hits the ground
@@alphanerd7221 Not really, characters like the Crowders, the Bennets, Wyn Duffy and mostly anybody else were already there doing their things. Even Robert Quarles who comes to Harlan during the show only comes cause of the mall property that Garry gave up to the mob guy, which would have happened regardless of Raylan being there or not. Alot of the show is about criminals trying to fill power voids left by the people Raylan kills so it might seem like more crime is happening but the crime was still going on regardless, maybe more stably and not quite as violently but the fact is that he (and sometimes Boyd) leaves all these criminal empires in ruins. Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back.
@@RogueDragon05 There were like 4 gang wars with gunfights in the streets over the course of the show. Before that the Crowders had been stably in charge for a generation. "more stably and not quite as violently " That means less crime. "Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back." That never changes. At the end of the show Raylan just installs another drug cartel.
@@alphanerd7221 Ahhh your one of those "The definition of peace is the absence of conflict sort" If you don't hear about it... it didn't happen and bad things never happen as long as officially there is peace. Gotcha. Violent people commit violent crimes and when law enforcement dismantles the violent organization the violent people get more violent so just leave the violent people alone and ignore it. And no it dosen't mean less crime cause shootings aren't the only things that are "crimes" and my point wasen't that Raylan single handedly took down the cartel or ended their influance my point was that the violance they brought was already there without Raylan, the cartel was killing people in exchange for the sheriff's becoming their agent to do as they wanted. The violence very much would have grown and continued without Raylan around, Ava would been murdered by Bo, Boyd would still be a neo nazi and blowing people up, Wynonna would probably be in prison or dead along with her husband, Loretta woulda been raped and killed or killed by Coover. Doyle would still be covering up for Coover and Dickie's crimes, I could go on. Raylan didn't start the fire it was always burning. But he did clear out plenty of the thugs that brought more violence. Look I don't agree with but I'm not gonna get into it further over a tv show. Realistically Raylan would be a lousy Marshal but the last thing the show in general is realistic which is what makes it fun.
Plot hole: Raylan was a firearms instructor at FLETC ("Glynco" in the series). He would know what the 21 foot rule is. I went through as a student in 1995 and as a firearms instructor in 2001. The 21 foot rule was discussed often in training.
Did ANY Crowes survive this show? Between Boyd, Raylon, and stupidity seems like the whole family got wiped out. Wait, the hot redhead sister survived, I think.
This is still the funniest, most anticlimactic end to an antagonist in Justified to me. Every time I see it, it makes me think of Hot Fuzz and Timothy Dalton's end in that.
I believe Mr. Crowe, by his actions (as he began his run @ Raylan) had made up his mind how he wanted to go...in that split second, Raylan knew, too, that Mr. Crowe wanted this last confrontation... I believe neither Raylan nor Mr. Crowe would have chosen this 'fall' as Mr. Crowe's last stand; from beginning to end, none of the Crowes ever cut themselves a break. Mercy!
I like the idea of the 21 foot rule. But it has a potential flaw, what if the other guy has the same idea? Now you both only have 10.5 feet to come up with a new idea.
@@Bomtaker01 Putting Raylan in Detroit is like putting Spiderman in a suburb. I've read the book the new show is based on and the main character is very, very much not Raylan. The vibe and pacing of the novel is totally different.
@@Laneous14 but he is very much like the one in the 1st series? i don't see your point, the guy said they don't make shows like this anymore and i mentioned that Primeval just started airing, its a little different Tone wise but Raylan is still being the lawman that i remember from Justified seasons 1-6
Looks like I shouldn't have seen this recommendation... since I'm only as far as episode 5x06. But this is definitely satisfying to watch. I would have liked J.B. do something similar to Danny. I was a bit disappointed to see A.J. Buckley play such a character, I like him in CSI:NY and definitely in Seal Team.
Holy cow! It's funny almost a coincidence, Donut Operator has a vid of a perp shooting himself in the head as he tries to exit a vehicle. No muzzle awareness.
My backup is a Ka-Bar because the 21 foot rule. It's strange. I open carry a pistol and a combat knife and no one messes with me. Ever. Never been mistreated by any law enforcement officer either.
An ongoing theme throughout Justified is just how crazy deadly guns actually are. The whole reason Raylan is so quick to shoot, especially if he sees a gun, is because the other person with the gun doesnt need to be super-talented or super-accurate, they just need to take you off guard. You can be a clever plotter, and a gun will end you right away. You can be a famous hit-man, and a corrupt sheriff can still plug you if you're not ready for it. You can be a massive Florida poacher, and a single round will kill you just like anyone else. You can be the head of the local Neo-Nazis, and if your wife/girl gets your rifle while you're eating, you've had it. This bit right here is more about underscoring the stupidity of thinking you can use a knife to beat a gunman. Even assuming the 21ft rule was valid, there's just too many other factors to consider. A knife is a much, much clumsier weapon than a gun.
As an LEO he’s sure to have performed a Tueller Drill or two in his day. I’m not buying Raylan Givens doesn’t know about the “21 foot rule.” Nevertheless it was an interesting way to go bringing a knife to a gun fight…
*A threat shot in the Heart with no blood flow can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds... That's approximately 150 feet, or half a football field of running- or 100 feet of running & five seconds of shooting or stabbing.*
There's a couple of mistakes you're making. The most obvious is that saying the heart "can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds" absolutely does not mean that at second #14 function is still 100%, which your calculations imply. The next thing is that not everybody is a movie villain; people who sustain a mortal wound sometimes change their plans and sometimes they miss a beat or two. Even ones that don't die sometimes stop what they were doing.
@@ronaldbell7429 You're right. Sometimes thanks to the adrenaline and the meth they keep going for the better part of a minute. And you don't have to be working at 100% to injure or kill somebody with a knife or a firearm. Sometimes the bad guys give up just like they do in the movies, but I wouldn't bet my life or anybody else's on it.
The 21ft rule is taught in the better academies. The FBI has done numerous studies and 21 ft. is the minimum safe distance you can allow a person with a knife to get to you and still give you time to draw and hip fire before the person with the knife and get to you and stab you with it. I suspect if you are a quick draw expert like Raylan, which NO real LEO's are, that distance might still be viable at less than 21ft, but not in the real world! We watched videos were the FBI did very detailed tests of this theory, it was a huge eye opener how fast a knife wielding suspect could traverse that distance and long it took for a normally trained officer to draw and fire from the hip with some degree or accuracy let alone point shoulder aim.
I would imagine it’s more efficient if the attacker just goes instead of discussing it like this idiot does. If someone has their hand already on their sidearm while it’s holstered as to be ready to draw and some dipshit with a knife starts asking “how far apart do you think we are?”, weapon out and up before they take the first step.
Is that what counts as a roast these days? Standards are dropping. Sounds to me more like commiserating over the misfortune he suffered. Raylan was as surprised and confused as Danny about what happened.
Nah, he was genuinely sympathetic the dude didn't get to test the 21-Foot Rule, which I assume is that a guy with a knife can cross that far and take a gunman before he can draw and fire effectively. (Incidentally; I think Raylan would have won.)
21 foot rule applies to un-trained individuals that aren't expecting violence. It allows you to cover the distance due to the element of surprise. I don't know how Danny was unawre of Raylans reputation for shooting people. ...

This is the reason why we tell kids not to run with scissors.
Or, more importantly, sharp knives.
Love the air this show puts into a scene, letting it bleed organically.
Also love how Raylan doesn’t pull his trigger too soon.
Elmore Leonard was one of the greatest writers ever. His dialogue and action was all so real. Like how real people talk and walk.
The paperwork on this scenario might be the worst he ever had to deal with.
Not really the “CSI” team would be able to tell by the angel of the entry point that he fell on the blade and he’d have a mark from what ever he tripped on 200 plus sized guy so he’d just have to do the same paper work as if he pulled his gun
if he never touches the body or knife the physical evidence would clear him.

Guy charged me with a knife, fell into a hole, stabbed himself in the skull. Seems pretty straightforward and easy to me.

That is why you don't run with sharp objects.
Epic Danny, epic
The guy's just about to pass into the Great Beyond and he's talking like he's just having a cordial conversation.
Danny went out the way he lived:
Like an idiot.
Imma have to start watching this
I altered between loving Fannys character and hating him. He is great on Seal Team though.
He's not cut out to be in law enforcement for where ever goes somebody dies
Yup and the crime rate drops dramatically every time someone dies.
@@RogueDragon05 No it doesn't. Crime gets worse and worse as the series goes.
@@alphanerd7221 Not really, characters like the Crowders, the Bennets, Wyn Duffy and mostly anybody else were already there doing their things. Even Robert Quarles who comes to Harlan during the show only comes cause of the mall property that Garry gave up to the mob guy, which would have happened regardless of Raylan being there or not. Alot of the show is about criminals trying to fill power voids left by the people Raylan kills so it might seem like more crime is happening but the crime was still going on regardless, maybe more stably and not quite as violently but the fact is that he (and sometimes Boyd) leaves all these criminal empires in ruins. Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back.
@@RogueDragon05 There were like 4 gang wars with gunfights in the streets over the course of the show. Before that the Crowders had been stably in charge for a generation.
"more stably and not quite as violently "
That means less crime.
"Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back."
That never changes. At the end of the show Raylan just installs another drug cartel.
@@alphanerd7221 Ahhh your one of those "The definition of peace is the absence of conflict sort" If you don't hear about it... it didn't happen and bad things never happen as long as officially there is peace. Gotcha. Violent people commit violent crimes and when law enforcement dismantles the violent organization the violent people get more violent so just leave the violent people alone and ignore it. And no it dosen't mean less crime cause shootings aren't the only things that are "crimes" and my point wasen't that Raylan single handedly took down the cartel or ended their influance my point was that the violance they brought was already there without Raylan, the cartel was killing people in exchange for the sheriff's becoming their agent to do as they wanted.
The violence very much would have grown and continued without Raylan around, Ava would been murdered by Bo, Boyd would still be a neo nazi and blowing people up, Wynonna would probably be in prison or dead along with her husband, Loretta woulda been raped and killed or killed by Coover. Doyle would still be covering up for Coover and Dickie's crimes, I could go on. Raylan didn't start the fire it was always burning. But he did clear out plenty of the thugs that brought more violence.
Look I don't agree with but I'm not gonna get into it further over a tv show. Realistically Raylan would be a lousy Marshal but the last thing the show in general is realistic which is what makes it fun.
Plot hole: Raylan was a firearms instructor at FLETC ("Glynco" in the series). He would know what the 21 foot rule is. I went through as a student in 1995 and as a firearms instructor in 2001. The 21 foot rule was discussed often in training.
MANY LAWMEN HAVE DIED FOR NOT RESPECTING THE 21 FOOT RULE
~ DANNY’S R.I.P. RULE -
“DEN-DIVE & DIE.” ~
He just rewrote the script.
The only thing I regret watching this show is that I never will be able to watch it the first time :(
Such a great show
Raylan looked a bit worried when he was coming towards him at high speed...😱😳🙏
We never learned if the 21 foot real was myth or reality
Did ANY Crowes survive this show? Between Boyd, Raylon, and stupidity seems like the whole family got wiped out. Wait, the hot redhead sister survived, I think.
I think Kendall’s still alive.
Darwin at work.
I still laugh hard every time he falls into that shallow grave that's dug there 😂😂 It was totally unexpected if you forgot about the dug hole 😂😂😂
This is still the funniest, most anticlimactic end to an antagonist in Justified to me. Every time I see it, it makes me think of Hot Fuzz and Timothy Dalton's end in that.
No one would have believed it if it wasn’t on camera.
The wife and I liked this series so much we watched it two times through and the new season In Detroit
I couldn't help but laugh the first time I saw this.
Same!
That is like the IRL situation that happened in LA when a guy running from the cops domed himself mid jump
Oh now that was funny "oooh"
I believe Mr. Crowe, by his actions (as he began his run @ Raylan) had made up his mind how he wanted to go...in that split second, Raylan knew, too, that Mr. Crowe wanted this last confrontation...
I believe neither Raylan nor Mr. Crowe
would have chosen this 'fall' as Mr. Crowe's last stand; from beginning to end, none of the Crowes ever cut themselves a break. Mercy!
You know how grief makes you stupid? Well, here's a prime example...
He really stepped in it that time
Looks like someone else has watched _"Surviving Edged Weapons."_
I like the idea of the 21 foot rule. But it has a potential flaw, what if the other guy has the same idea? Now you both only have 10.5 feet to come up with a new idea.
This was such a good show that they don't make anymore.
OHHHHHHH you didnt hear about Justified: city primevil then? its litterally a new justified series where Raylan is in detroit
@@Bomtaker01 Putting Raylan in Detroit is like putting Spiderman in a suburb. I've read the book the new show is based on and the main character is very, very much not Raylan. The vibe and pacing of the novel is totally different.
@@Laneous14 but he is very much like the one in the 1st series? i don't see your point, the guy said they don't make shows like this anymore and i mentioned that Primeval just started airing, its a little different Tone wise but Raylan is still being the lawman that i remember from Justified seasons 1-6
Looks like I shouldn't have seen this recommendation... since I'm only as far as episode 5x06.
But this is definitely satisfying to watch.
I would have liked J.B. do something similar to Danny.
I was a bit disappointed to see A.J. Buckley play such a character, I like him in CSI:NY and definitely in Seal Team.
Good show
I would not have said anything. Danny reaped exactly what he sowed.
Only cool guys say "eschew".
Rules of justified
Rule 1: don't pull your gun on Raylan
Rule 2: don't enter another person's house unless your invited
Holy cow! It's funny almost a coincidence, Donut Operator has a vid of a perp shooting himself in the head as he tries to exit a vehicle. No muzzle awareness.
My backup is a Ka-Bar because the 21 foot rule. It's strange. I open carry a pistol and a combat knife and no one messes with me. Ever. Never been mistreated by any law enforcement officer either.
How the heck are there so many crows? They all seem to win the Darwin Award when dealing with Raylan Givens?
Appears to me more in line with the 6 foot under rule.
I think Danny should have invested in better backyard lighting.
*dewey.
They just took over his house haha
I wonder what the last thing that went through his head was.
The knife.
Ha!
I'm guessing 12" of stainless steel.
An ongoing theme throughout Justified is just how crazy deadly guns actually are. The whole reason Raylan is so quick to shoot, especially if he sees a gun, is because the other person with the gun doesnt need to be super-talented or super-accurate, they just need to take you off guard. You can be a clever plotter, and a gun will end you right away. You can be a famous hit-man, and a corrupt sheriff can still plug you if you're not ready for it. You can be a massive Florida poacher, and a single round will kill you just like anyone else. You can be the head of the local Neo-Nazis, and if your wife/girl gets your rifle while you're eating, you've had it.
This bit right here is more about underscoring the stupidity of thinking you can use a knife to beat a gunman. Even assuming the 21ft rule was valid, there's just too many other factors to consider. A knife is a much, much clumsier weapon than a gun.
This guy suffered from a fatal case of Dunning-Kruger.
A blade is an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age 😉
As an LEO he’s sure to have performed a Tueller Drill or two in his day. I’m not buying Raylan Givens doesn’t know about the “21 foot rule.” Nevertheless it was an interesting way to go bringing a knife to a gun fight…
He did know, he was trying to goad him into trying it.
Cleansing the gene pool one dope at a time.
*A threat shot in the Heart with no blood flow can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds... That's approximately 150 feet, or half a football field of running- or 100 feet of running & five seconds of shooting or stabbing.*
There's a couple of mistakes you're making. The most obvious is that saying the heart "can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds" absolutely does not mean that at second #14 function is still 100%, which your calculations imply. The next thing is that not everybody is a movie villain; people who sustain a mortal wound sometimes change their plans and sometimes they miss a beat or two. Even ones that don't die sometimes stop what they were doing.
@@ronaldbell7429 You're right. Sometimes thanks to the adrenaline and the meth they keep going for the better part of a minute. And you don't have to be working at 100% to injure or kill somebody with a knife or a firearm. Sometimes the bad guys give up just like they do in the movies, but I wouldn't bet my life or anybody else's on it.
After the 1st episode of the new Justified, I'm not very thrilled.
The 21ft rule is taught in the better academies. The FBI has done numerous studies and 21 ft. is the minimum safe distance you can allow a person with a knife to get to you and still give you time to draw and hip fire before the person with the knife and get to you and stab you with it. I suspect if you are a quick draw expert like Raylan, which NO real LEO's are, that distance might still be viable at less than 21ft, but not in the real world! We watched videos were the FBI did very detailed tests of this theory, it was a huge eye opener how fast a knife wielding suspect could traverse that distance and long it took for a normally trained officer to draw and fire from the hip with some degree or accuracy let alone point shoulder aim.
I would imagine it’s more efficient if the attacker just goes instead of discussing it like this idiot does. If someone has their hand already on their sidearm while it’s holstered as to be ready to draw and some dipshit with a knife starts asking “how far apart do you think we are?”, weapon out and up before they take the first step.
"I would a said something, but..."
Raylan roasted the guy as he choked on his own blood ☠️☠️☠️
Is that what counts as a roast these days? Standards are dropping. Sounds to me more like commiserating over the misfortune he suffered. Raylan was as surprised and confused as Danny about what happened.
@@trueblue6201typical gen Z kids
Nah, he was genuinely sympathetic the dude didn't get to test the 21-Foot Rule, which I assume is that a guy with a knife can cross that far and take a gunman before he can draw and fire effectively. (Incidentally; I think Raylan would have won.)
@@trueblue6201Yes...'Vicious' was not part of this scene, not from either of these characters
So it would appear that a open grave between the combatants leads to an exception of the 21 foot rule.
21 foot rule applies to un-trained individuals that aren't expecting violence. It allows you to cover the distance due to the element of surprise. I don't know how Danny was unawre of Raylans reputation for shooting people. ...
No one would believe it lol.
It sure looked like Raylan had a problem if the guy didn't fall in the hole.
The screen is so dark I can’t see what happened. Someone clue me in?
I love it when it hurts like a mother before they croak.
how do you possibly explain this situation to someone else?
