The dogs got loose periodically, came to my friends property and would chase her livestock and kill her chickens. One day they came onto her property and tore apart one of her goats while she and had her two small children were out in the yard.

As Jordan Peterson says, "People just aren't that brave." If you throw in guns and a strong physical man/ a man who has proven himself legally powerful and is impulsively cruel and instantaneously thinking up of wicked things, and heck, throw in the fact that he'll turn his attention to your other kids, and has just very publicly burned down YOUR house and killed your dog, and there will be NOTHING the police or anyone can do about it, who really knows. You'd need to choose to become murderer in their case. I like to think I'd make that choice too, or fight until he kills me, or until I've taken away too much from him to make it worth it, but I try not to judge, since you and I are likely just like everyone else: not as brave as we think.

My uncle actually went bird hunting with Rex McElroy. There was a man with them owned the bird dogs that they took hunting with them and Rex really admired how well trained the dogs where. Acording to my uncle he made a couple comments about how much he admired the dogs and asked if the man was wonting to sell them. The man said that they where not for sale and they shrugged it off. The next day around noon my uncle got a call from the sheriff asking if he knew where Rex was. Turns out, Rex went to that man’s house the previous night, beat the hell out of him, and stole his three hunting dogs and skipped town.

To this day, no one has ever been charged with the crime. To this day, they have no leads or suspects. When you read the actual details, like how they immediately went to specific pieces of art indicating extensive planning, left no DNA or fingerprints, the ruse of the cop, and the fact that the art has never surfaced again anywhere on earth, well, as far as crimes go, it’s pretty impressive.

Exactly how the fuck could a dad sign his 12 year old daughter to a fat middle aged man. And then kill his dog , twice, hell naw.

Sometimes there's justice. And sometimes there's just us. Pray I'm never in that position.

I loved the story of Rex. Much more sadistic and justice-full than I could have asked for.

The Bully is my favorite story! Absolutely loves it!! As an anarchist, this is how justice is taken out in an anarchist society. Reputation is basically like credit. Anarchism at it’s finest. This story should be made into a movie. Would be a great freaking movie!

“That man needed a killin”, I love a happy ending!

this story was on History's Greatest Mysteries over the weekend :). I really enjoy your stories. They make work go quicker. Not sure what I will do when I catch up from binging. Keep it up…Thank you for your service to our country.

Re-watched this episode again and the Town Bully story still is one of my favorites.

“Bully” was so satisfying. It’s too bad the law couldn’t do what the citizens HAD to do.
