Hmm interesting to learn, thank you for sharing. I still contend that it shouldn’t be coward going to coward. It should be a verb for the last word as it is in Haters going to Hate. I am not familiar with coward being used as a verb.

Alex Lace according to a reverse image search. No real idea who he is.

Fair point.

This is not a news article. It is a history article. The opposite of news.
