Leonard Chambers



Leonard Chambers was killed by the Los Angeles police in a 1956 incident that had some highly questionable actions by the cops.  So much so that Bob Mizer editorialized about it in the next edition of Physique Pictorial.  The photo above is by Bruce, and below we have Bob Mizer/AMG. 
In these trying times, we need to remember to be vigilant and militant.  We can't go back.
P.S.  Mr. Chambers isn't here just because of history.  He was a fine model.

  1. I am truly worried about the current regime. Mr. Chambers looms as a symbol of what happens during times of oppression.

  3. A tragic story. With our elections coming up I worry it will head down the same path as yours. I despise Trump, that saddens me somewhat because I was not raised to think or feel that way about my fellow man. But, here we are.

    1. Today we had thousands of demonstrators on the National Mall in DC outraged by the inane and insane policies of the Trump administration and its billionaire and crock tank backers.
      They have bitten off more than they can chew.

  4. Thank you. Len's stepfather in law (his 2nd wife's mother's 2nd husband) through marriages is my 4th cousin, thrice removed. Len said that he was a widower, once married before, when he applied to marry 10 months before his murder. Some links: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Chambers-15557

    1. Now the part about being a widower is very interesting . . . and ironic. Thanks, Jim.
