[Photo: Raymond Purnell, courtesy WTOC.] Phillip Seabrian holds a lit gas nozzle, standing still, looking at City of Savannah Police Officer Raymond Purnell outside the Shell gas station he was recently banned from. On Phillip’s face, dark lines run down his cheeks. On his forehead are more dark lines that follow the creases, self-inflicted tattoos created by a hot knife. He’s spent years abusing and deforming his body because of a mind racked with pain.
Powerful stuff from Savannah’s streets.
