Before we got married, my wife was watching a western with her great nephew, he was maybe 4. So, the climax of the story had the hero and other people trapped in the barn by the bad guys outside. Her nephew said: "Why don't they just call for help with their phone?" She had to explain to him that they didn't have phones back then. Then she told him that when she grew up there was only one phone in the house and it was plugged into the wall. He had never even seen a landline until she took him into the room where we had our landline. Even then it had a cordless receiver. So, she had to explain about cords. He came to me and told me about it. I said that when I used to ride, the stable did have a phone in one of the barns, but it was because there were always people in the barn until nighttime and then they would use the phone in their house. It just blew him away that people didn't have phones in their pockets back then.

He had watched Westerns at his great grandfather's house, but because Westerns were pretty much running all the time there, even if nobody was really watching them. A lot of the time it was muted and close captioned - this was before he could read too much. He didn't watch them there. He only watched the TV if they put on a kid's show.

The fact is that gun laws were stricter in town back in the wild west than today, many towns banned guns and even knives. Even towns where guns were legal bars selling alcohol had complete bans on all weapons. These two facts were especially true where they had an honest sheriff.

In violation of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. But private persons, private businesses, private property, private homes can ban guns if they want to. Yes, I am a member of a volunteer local citizen militia, as well.

@alunchurcher7060 3 ай бұрын

@@aspenrebel which white men only militia is that. As for the constitution being citizens rights, they are not rights when the government can change them or even take them away. The US used to have a prohibition law enacted by government but even that was removed years later. The gun laws of the US have been changed many times over the years, but if it's supposed to be a fundamental right government are not supposed to be able to change the rules. So your supposed rights are just a load of privileges no more than that.

@aspenrebel 3 ай бұрын

@@alunchurcher7060 Wow!! Such as the Right NOT to be tried twice for the same crime for which you were found NOT GUILTY by a Jury at Trial? Which is being violated right now, right here. A jury found defendant not guilty 12 - 0 on Counts 1 and 3 but was a hung jury on count 2. They came into court to inform the judge that they were hung jury on count 2 ONLY. The judge never inquired of the jury what their verdict was on each of the three counts. The judge suddenly declared a hung jury on all three counts, dismissed the jury, ended the court session, and left the courtroom. It was only sometime later that the defense learned that the jury had come to a 12-0 not guilty verdict on counts one and three and was only hung on Count 2. The defense filed a motion with the judge to declare that the defendant was found not guilty on counts one and three and only a hung jury on count 2. The judge refused to call the jury back in and inquire of the verdicts on each of the three counts and I believe the judge refused to get the jury's verdict sheets which I don't think they ever filled out. The judge denied the defense motion and ordered a retrial on all three counts which the prosecution is planning to do in January. Clearly the judge is in conspiracy with the corrupt prosecution to violate the defendants constitutional rights against double jeopardy. Nowhere in any US or state Constitutional Amendment or any laws or any case decisions does a judge have the right and power to change a not guilty Verdict by a jury to a hung jury, as this judge has done so in this case. Of course the defense is appealing to a higher Court. ....... So is that the sort of "privilege" you were talking about rather tgan a "constitutional right", suxh as "right to keep and bear arms"? So a right is what u say and want, such as the right of a woman to murder her baby. But it's only a privilege granted by the government for what someone else wants. Is that correct?

If that narrator is AI voiced , then it’s definitely copied off of George Clooney , or is it really him ?

The number of times that two men faced each other and had a shootout you can probably count on one hand and have some fingers left over. They weren't that stupid, they weren't that fast, and they weren't that good of a shot. Chances are both of them we get shot and possibly both of them killed. So you would have to either be really stupid, really crazy, really drunk, or really ballsy to do that.

Indian wars lasted “several centuries”? I don’t think so Tim! Not out west anyway!

Indians fought lots of wars before the whites came. They fought each other. They fought many wars.

Out of all races in this country. Natives are the only ones that should truly be given reparations. African Americans, nor the Irish (not a race, I know, but enslaved) were not subjected to near extinction by government and encroaching white settler genocide.

Wow, so much wrong with this video it's hard to know where to start--but after the first few sections it was pretty good. Did AI generate this? 1. Hanging--you do say it was performed in the east as well but the implication was it was more characteristic in the west. Not so, but lynching was. Being hung without a trial of any kind by vigilantes happened a lot, and not just to black folks. This is kind of what you described, but not really as you talked about lack of judges and defense lawyers and showed photos of gallows which all are formal law enforcement scenarios--not some cowboys hanging a horse thief by the tree nearest to where they were caught. And, BTW, the last photo of the segment shows a guillotine. 2. "Drunken Duel" Why are you conflating a quick draw gunfight with a formal duel? It is true that neither was very common in the old west but you make it sound like formal dueling never existed in the first place. Counting off steps and the rules of formal dueling weren't overly romanticized and made into a Hollywood myth, but how quick draw gunfights happened and their commonality were. Duels were fairly common among the social elites, especially in the south and bled over into the early west. Arkansas Governor Henry Conway was killed in a duel in 1827. But dueling gradually died out shortly after the Civil War with the disappearance of the elite class. Quick draw gunfights were mostly between what we would today call blue collar types. And Drunken and duel are two words that don't really go together on this subject. Formal duels were carried out early in the morning and this description of a way of dying in the old west never would have occurred to me. But if you had combined drunken with bar fights, then I would say you know what you're talking about. 3. "Attacked by Settlers': ??? Really? So Amerindians were only ever the victims? So we don't count anybody else in the "you" in the title of what "would have Killed You". Settlers attacked Amerindians and Amerindians attacked settlers. The settlers got the upper hand in the old west but that was because of disease. Way more Amerindians died of or the tribe was wiped out by disease than settler attacks. 4. And speaking of disease--yes cholera was very much feared, but so was small pox and you didn't mention it--hard to say which one was feared the most.

The apache was one of the most brutal tribes in American history. Especially to other tribes. You the one trying to whitewash history.

You are aware that you talk about a massive genocide towards the native Americans?

@gofigure2951 3 ай бұрын

@@VidarLund-k5q genocide is what the apache were attempting to do to the other tribes and the "white man". The apache were not the innocent indigenous people this video attempts to make them out to be. Nor were the commanche, the souix and others. Even today, their ancestors talk of the brutality of their own people towards each other and the settlers. Now, had he been talking about the Cherokee, Croatan, or hell even the Lumbees I would have a different approach. And let's be clear. Not everything is a genocide. Neither was the war between the settlers and Native Americans( which is a relative term term since a lot of the natives were actually invaders from South America). Or were you not aware of that?...

Apache and Comanche tribes were 2 of the most feared tribes of the old west... BUT there is 1 tribes that BOTH feared. Those were the Yaqui tribe. Luckily they were a small tribe.

@gofigure2951 3 ай бұрын

@@kdlev4903 I don't disagree but let's not muddy the water. The yaqui were a tribe that primarily existed in and fought against the mexican government. Remnants of the tribe fled to the Arizona mountains. They do not appear to be a tribe that fought in the war against the american government, weren't persecuted by the american government and were pretty much left alone once they left Mexico. There's conflicting reports as to the fighting prowess of the yaqui. Some say they were cunning, others say naive. Either way, on August 13, 1896 the yaqui invaded the US and attacked US citizens to aquire money and arms to fight against mexican government thus starting any conflict there may have been with the US.
