Keep up the good work Sweet Emily

it never ceases to amaze the depth of cold heartedness the gun loving right displays

billy murdered 21 people and the right finds this amusing*

sad really,  even frightening, but, as long as it happens to someone else, it's ok


*not as funny as jack the ripper, though

What's amazing is how anyone as fossilized as Caserio, with all this supposed wisdom is completely blind to the reality of life.

cas din deny billy was reality

cas jus pointed out that what he did was inhuman as is the gun toters defense of his actions

Before you make silly widdle posts to bolster your tired old rhetoric, check your facts

Myth: The most popular one of all: “Billy the Kid killed 21 men, one for each of  year of his life.”

Fact: Due to research and claims by those who knew him, we already came to the conclusion that the Kid never saw his 21st birthday. So we can scratch that one, as far as the 21 men he killed. Let's look at the tally:

The Kid was solely responsible for the deaths of Frank Cahill (self-defense), Joe Grant (self-defense), James W. Bell and Bob Olinger (while escaping jail and an upcoming hanging).

The Kid was one of many gunmen involved in the killing of Billy Morton, Frank Baker, William McCloskey, William Brady, and George Hindman. That makes five. Keep in mind the Kid wasn’t the only one firing, and his bullets may or may not have found their mark.

Then there’s the controversial killing of Deputy James Carlyle. A deputy who was mistakenly shot and killed by his own posse who they thought  was Billy the Kid. Of course the posse blamed the killing on the Kid, which caused him to lose what little favor he had with the public and not to mention any hopes of receiving a pardon from the governor. After looking into the shooting by reading the eyewitnesses' accounts and the posse's behavior at the scene of the crime, evidence appears to be against the posse. If the Kid had been tried for this murder, he most likely would've been acquitted due to circumstantial evidence. Therefore, Billy the Kid should not get the credit for killing Carlyle.

The Kid was blamed for killing Buckshot Roberts, but it was Charlie Bowdre who gave the feisty gunman his fatal wound. The Kid was also credited for killing another Dolan man, Charlie Crawford, during the big battle at McSween's house, but the true gunman was Fernando Herrera (Doc Scurlock's father-in-law), who shot Crawford as he rode towards town to join Peppin's posse during the siege at McSween's house. Another one pinned on the Kid was the killing of Robert Beckwith as he  escaped from McSween's burning house, but credit most likely went to another Regulator or a stray bullet; Billy the Kid in the meantime, was too busy running for his life in another direction. Lastly, he was blamed for killing a Mescalero agency clerk, Morris Bernstein. While the Kid and his cohorts were watering their horses at a nearby spring several yards away, a gunfight broke out between Bernstein and Atanacio Martinez (who was riding with the Kid), which resulted in Martinez killing the clerk. In all of these above killings Billy the Kid never even fired a shot or was anywhere never the victim, but even so, legend has credited them all to him. But now that we know better, we won't count any of these.

So in actuality, the Kid single handedly killed four men and participated in five shootings, now that makes the grand total of nine men. Note: these men were either killed in self-defense or during acts of war and were dangerous gunmen. Contrary to the myth, Billy the Kid did not kill a man just to see him kick or to prove his toughness.

typical gun toter rationale

he only killed six so he wasn't so bad

sadly , you see nothing wrong with that

billy the kid is a hero to the gun toters
 
Do you think you should be lying so egregiously being so close to meeting God personally?

When every one is packing there are many more "self defense killings".  Billy may have actually been justified in killing some of them…
Mean while Billy is small potatoes, more Americans have died from guns shot wounds since 1968 than in all the Wars we have been in starting with the Revolution.  (Yes I know not every one killed in a war is shot, but then that makes the statistic worse.)
Suicide is still the biggest part of guns shot deaths.

never  the  less

billy IS a hero to gun toters

(look how quick emily jumped to his defense)

now, cas does not wish to stir up contraversy, but.......

most towns in that era quickly passed laws prohibiting open carry

Why do 90% of these shootings happen in the negro and hispanic districts?

why are you so resistant to truth ?

cuz you know cas woan correct you?

jim:

cas never lies

90% ?  They don't. 
More than half of them are suicides, white males account for 70% of those.
