jimlad9 | BS: Pardon for Billy the Kid (55* d) | RE: BS: Pardon for Billy the Kid | 04 Mar 07 |
Please pardon the thread creep I am now about to inflict on you dear reader but a previous thread just mentioned Bonnie a Clyde ( real bad buggers). They were shot to pieces by a relative of mine Capt Frank Hamer of the Texas Rangers. It was said at the time that he got a bit confused at the scene of the ambush and instead of shouting "Surrender!!" which he should have done he shouted "Fire!". I am not proud of the fact of course because us Hamers are not known for their fair play. Capt Hamer was later put in charge of supervision of the election in 1948 at which Lyndon B Johnson was elected under very dubious circumstances. |
