Well Trina his wife also is angry that the police just drove away. And nobody called an ambulance nobody tried to help him and so she was pissed she sued the town she won not as much as she wanted but she won. But she never got an apology and she never got a yes I did it. So I imagine Trina was pretty pissed off but what you got to remember is that that guy stole her when she was 12 years old and pretty much raped and her mind control her until she was whatever he wanted her to be.

I remember hearing a story about a child molester who had already raped and maybe even killed some kids in a small-ish town and everyone knew it was him but there was no evidence, one morning he was found in a crop tied to a pole with his hands behind his back, a 10 feet trail of blood leading up to it, and his throat sliced (or something like that), the sheriff said "well, it's clearly a suicide. On an unrelated note, please make sure to throw the trash in the garbage and not leave it in the crops" and that's how he kept getting elected for like 25 years lol, I'm not usually pro-vigilante because that can become a slippery slope real fast, but in cases like these, hell yeah.

Thank you, Shane, for saying those victims were children. I don't fault Ryan for saying they were young women because news sources always say "young women" when they mean girls, so I don't doubt he got that phrasing from them. However, they were children.

My family on my mother's side grew up near Skidmore and everyone knew this guy. If he thought you'd slighted him, it was nothing for him to shoot your dog or burn your house down. He shot a guy's pet goat once for crossing him and laughed about it. Another time he took a deputy's gun away from him at the bar and called the Sheriff to tell him his boys shouldn't play with guns. Everyone was just too afraid to do anything because the guy wasn't right in the head, and there's basically no law in a tiny town in the middle of rural nowhere. Oddly enough though, if the meathead liked you, he'd bend over backward to help you. On one occasion he brought my Grandma three gallons of goat milk that was more than he could drink from his goats. Said most people had turned him down because it was too sweet. Damnedest thing.

Buddha talks about two things as core teachings, middle path, and using your own judgment rather than what other people, traditions, books say. In that way, it's justified completely.

The great lesson in tolerance is that you cannot allow the intolerant control. The intolerant will destroy tolerance and it’s essence. So as paradoxical as it may seem, protecting tolerance requires for you to not tolerate the intolerant.

I'm not a Buddhist, but I think there's a difference between having compassion for someone because they are another human being and being okay with what they do because the latter means compassion for the person who has done wrong is overriding the compassion for people who have been hurt. I think you can have compassion for him for all the things that may have motivated him to do such violent things. if he experienced something awful when he was young and all this was a violent and terrible way of coping with it, you can have compassion for that and wish it hadn't happened -- stuff like that. I do think compassion can be separate from accepting someone's actions as okay. it has to be. and a crucial part of compassion is the willingness to hold someone accountable for what they do to others because that willingness implicitly acknowledges that person as part of your community and thus partially your responsibility because we are all responsible for caring for our communities. I think that's very compassionate.

To me, a good lawyer is one who understands that the law is meant to defend justice, that they are meant to defend justice. Knowing legal loopholes doesn’t make you a good lawyer, it makes you a sleazy white collar criminal. The truth is, the law and everyone involved in it failed the community. Instead of protecting them and serving justice to an outright violent and intimidating man, it did the exact opposite. I hope his lawyer gets a special place in hell for his part in mocking justice. As far as vigilantism goes, it’s honestly what happens when the law fails to protect the right people. It’s not ideal, I certainly don’t condone it, but if those involved in law mock or impede real justice, it’s only a matter of time. I’m glad that community finally got to feel and enjoy the safety they were robbed of while the law protected the perpetrator.

@thundercricket4634

I'm assuming part of it was the fact that the police in the area McElroy lived were notoriously bad about ever documenting anything to do with McElroys run ins with the law. They often wouldn't even file reports when they'd arrest him and that made it absurdly easy for McFadin to shoot down the prosecutions case.

Vigilante justice is sometimes needed, especially when it's known the law is useless. You hear rumors of it all the time, usually beating people up and that's the end of it (in the UK from my experience) Also with regards to the head injuries, one of the most famous examples I can think of is Henry VIII, who fell of his horse in a jousting accident and supposedly that's when his reign of tyranny began

this kind of thing isn't actually all that uncommon in small towns. a friend of mine was sexually assaulted by a very well-known guy in a small town and I remember a group of people from that town telling her, "he might not go to jail, but trust me...he'll be sleeping with one eye open". vigilante justice is very common in smaller jurisdictions like this and I can't say I disagree with it.

I agree. A big, bad bad man was oppressing and intimidating an entire town. The law and Justice systems failed them consistently and the people by that point had enough. There were 60 people at that town hall, their oppressor wasn’t and went to the bar for some drinks with his wife. Suddenly the meeting abruptly ended. Leaving, they all went to intimidate McElroy and his wife, this time flanking their truck from behind. But a few, maybe 2 or even 6 (as the Boys depict in the vid), decided to enact an attempt at small-town justice; they took the law into their own hands, readied their arms, fired at Ken in an attempt to wound, scare, or even just hurt him. But their shots were true and they hit, killing him. The rest of their fellow townsfolk stood there, silent, in solidarity. Justice, that they deserved for decades and for their home of Skidmore, Missouri had finally: been Served.
