Chalky White In Jail

[@Ruosteinenknight]

And that was the moment when Purnsley learned what's the difference between having strength and having power.

[@diligentsun1154]

Well said.

[@couragew6260]

Truth! Strength involves how you change and influence yourself. Power involves how you change and influence others.

[@kyleperry4899]

Well said

[@fellafreedom7210]

I disagree. It has nothing to do with strength, although power did play it's part. Chalkys influence and respect helped him avoid being intimidated. It shows that powerful and influential people even in just a community have a better chance resisting intimidation.

[@-Folk]

@@couragew6260 That ain't the truth. Strength ain't got shit to do with influencing others even though others can be influenced by the display. Strength is what you can do with your own personal might, will, and resolve. You got the definition of power right though💯

I love this scene- it demonstrates true power. Mr. White didn't even have to stand up, and the man who meant him harm still got the ass-beating he deserved. He didn't even need to ask, they all knew what was expected of them. Chalky is one powerful individual in that town.
