Ah, one of Chapman's Little Helpers jumps to his defence once again, regular as clockwork. What's interesting is that while most Little Helpers suck up to Chapman because they see him as some kind of veteran anti-motorist hero, this cannot be the case with Brimstone, as he would appear to have a relatively enlightened attitude towards motorists. So it's puzzling as to why he would be so stupid as to be one of Chapman's sycophants at all. Does Chapman have some kind of hold over him? Does he know Chapman personally? Does he owe Chapman for something? He's certainly an anomaly, although there are many other nouns that could also be used to describe him.

Still, unlike most Little Helpers, there is some small hope that he will one day see the light and become a beneficial contributor. Some of the time he does give the impression that he's a reasonable person; maybe one day he will work on increasing that percentage.
