Hey Cluin: yeah, tarring and feathering someone and riding them on a rail IS illegal but when the victim is considered a criminal then the cops look the other way and most folks approve. It is basix vigilantism, The folks who done it to me were known to everyone including the police and they weren't arrested. Mabe they got a medal for it. I faced felony charges and did three years in prison here in Tennessee. I ran the scam and paid for it ... twice. Still, I think that while I deserved some punishment, this whole scene was too much. What do you think?
