Carl Dean 'Alfalfa' Switzer was given a bad reputation on Little Rascals. Sure he played slot of pranks on the cast, but he became so famous that someone tried to assassinate him and didn't succeed the first time. So, he maybe wanted the rest of the $ he should've gotten in the first place, that was owed...he simply asked for it and the guy shot him (he knew what he was doing). MURDERED THE BEST , FUNNIEST ACTOR OF HIS TIME!
