10. there is something about his hands that stands out, whether they look like
the hands of a man who is ready to draw his gun, or of a man who is about to make an angry fist and launch out a punch at anybody who crosses his path, or of a man who wants to keep great distance between himself and the rest of those around him and the world ... or, whether they look like the hands of man who owns power because his daddy bought it but does not have power because he doesn't even know how to use it -- well, i haven't yet figured out but there is something about those hands when i look at them on the television, or in this picture, or other pictures, that just simply invites me to want to be very far away from a man whose hands seem to tell so much of the cruelty and of the freak need for power and control that he undeniably has.

They do not seem to be the hands of a man who is gentle, or who knows tenderness. They seem to be the hands of a man who is coarse and ordinary. They seem to be the hands of a man who, having latched on to power once, will not let go.

Simply stated they seem to be hands which could easily stand in as a symbol for VIOLENCE.
