What was his longtime illness??

Gilbert Gottfried's last Instagram post defending Chris Rock while taking a shot at will Smith. And very well said!

"Which is the worst crime?,
Chris Rock being physically assaulted or Chris Rock telling a joke?"

"If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. If he tells a joke you do not find funny, don't laugh. Or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes," he wrote. "Then you wait for his next joke; if that's funny, then you laugh. If it's not, you don't laugh -- or at very worst, you can leave quietly."

Thanks Hunch. Sad, Maybe had to do with his squinting as well. Looked it up and does have a short lifespan.
