Ken McElroy: A Town’s Revenge – EP 99
Ken McElroy: A Town’s Revenge
The guys cover the 1981 killing of Ken Rex McElroy, the so called town bully of Skidmore, Missouri, who was shot dead in broad daylight on Main Street while sitting in his truck with his wife Trena, in front of an estimated 30 witnesses. Investigators determined he was hit by bullets from multiple weapons of different calibers, including a .22 magnum and an 8mm Mauser, a World War I era rifle. Despite the crowd, every witness claimed not to have seen who fired, and no suspects were ever arrested or charged.
The guys lay out why the town had reached its breaking point. McElroy had been charged with 21 major crimes over the years but was convicted only once and spent a single night in jail, allegedly because he intimidated witnesses and their families into silence. The final trigger was his shooting of 70 year old grocery store owner Bo, after which he was released on bail pending appeal. Trena later said she recognized one of the shooters, but her claims were met with skepticism, and she eventually sued the city and county for wrongful death, settling out of court for 17,000 dollars with no admission of guilt.
From there the guys weigh out competing theories, vigilante execution planned at the local bar, law enforcement complicity, and a spontaneous mob rage that was not premeditated, while repeatedly stressing that nobody knows for certain who fired the fatal shots. They also debate the harder question underneath the case, whether a community is ever justified in taking the law into its own hands after the legal system repeatedly failed to hold someone accountable. To this day, no one has broken the town’s silence, and the case remains the subject of books, documentaries, and a television movie.

M. This is literally on Main Street, this is Main Street, mean every town has Main Street. And it’s, you know, lit. Yeah, in front of 30 people. Yet, when law enforcement arrived to investigate, they were met with silence. [bleep] it, I love it. I love this town, I’m moving. The skin more. Every single witness claimed not to have have seen anybody who fired shots. Investigators determined that Maroy was killed by bullets from multiple weapons. It’s like all different calibers, all so. Troopers found shell casings from a .22 caliber magnum, all right, and an 8mm Mouser. And Mouser is a World War I German rifle, you know, it’s it’s old.
Mugu, what, 7y old? This is not like obviously different bullets, like a [bleep] trench huge and like tiny little ones. Despite the evidence, no suspects. Love it, I love the sheriff’s department is. See, no witnesses, no witness, witnesses, no arrests were made. I love it, dude, I [bleep] love it. So later, Trena, which is the wife who was sitting in the other side, later alleged that she recognized one of the shooters, but her claims were met with skepticism and silence. She was drunk, she had hella drinks, right? She eventually sued for wrongful death, uh, rightful death, to the city. All right, to the city, uh, they arrest her, the county, and she accused one of the ranchers as being one of the shooters.
They settled out of court for 17 grand with no admission of guilt. Sick, love it. What a [bleep], what an excellent, what excellent. It’s like, I’ll pay 17 G to get this [bleep] out of here. So the collective silence of the townspeople became the defining feature of the case, which it, it was as if the community all agreed externally, no words. Oh, 100%, everybody said nope. But everyone’s got to be locked in, though, like you can’t have any, like, can’t have any, like any wobblers, like, don’t show how you have. This is the opposite of all of our conspiracies, which is, I know, right? You can’t have 30 people involved, there’s too many people.
Too many people, five [bleep], like five. And also, the part that’s opposite to our conspiracy is that everyone wants to take credit for [bleep]. This is like, no, nobody. No, I don’t even have a gun. Yeah, what are you talking about? Up for the guy that got named, or that, the only one that got picked out, got named. But for him, he’s like, “1 [bleep] it, yellow, sell some cows, f*** it.” What a lame-ass D [bleep]. You know, it started at like 4 million and then she’s like, “Give me, give me like a Kia. Just let me get one of them cows.” 1972 Toyota Corolla.
So for many, the day that Ken was killed marked the end of a nightmare, and the town had endured years of fear, intimidation, violence. And his death was seen, was seen by many as the only way to achieve peace. But the circumstances of his death, the public execution carried out in broad daylight, in almost no jail time. Justice, dude. Yeah, the first time this whole [bleep] town has had justice. Finally, some justice system kicks in. Literally. So, and just to reiterate how bad of a person he is, right, or like this corruption of it, out of all those 21 times that he was charged for major crimes, this is not like traffic tickets, like these were felonies.
Yeah, he spent one night in jail. No [bleep], dude, 21 charges. This is a pretty clean-cut case here. It was, it was an out-of-towner with multiple, other multiple different weapons. It’s like Three Amigos, where they hire, they hire the out-of-towner to kill. Oh my god, oh no, we need you, the Three Amigos. Anyways, the way he, so a lot of people were like, how did he get out of this? Like, it just seemed kind of a little bit too much that he would get out of it. But what he would do is threaten the witnesses in their families in order for them not to speak on each case, right?
So he was charged, but they couldn’t actually convict him. Convict, that’s right, cuz he would literally show up at their house, sit outside of their house, and stare at them. Yeah, and there was probably like, or say it was for like killing their sheep, you know, you’re like, “Do I need…” No, I know, but I mean, each time was a different thing. It was like, you know, killing a sheep is different than impregnating your, I’m sorry, some effects, my [bleep] 14-year-old kid. I don’t give it. Yeah, I actually thank God that you’re on my property now so I can kill you. Put a weapon in your hand and [bleep], I’m going to just clear, clear-cut case, self-defense.
Oh yeah, he, I walked up to his car to talk and he tried to stab me in his car seat while he was strapped in. [Laughter] But ultimately, the straw that broke the camel’s back, as they say, is that he shot Bo, Bo Camp, seven-year-old grocery owner. Yeah, like probably the nicest dude in the town. And then he got off on bail. And again, it was already a small time, but yeah, he’s probably been there for 70 years, everybody knows him. I know, it’s like the grocer, he’s like a sweet old dude. So essentially the town was like, [bleep]. Uh, I think before you get into action, you get into apathy.
Oh, right, sure. Yeah, everybody processes it differently, like some might, like the fight or flight, you know, some might just kind of flight until, like, you can’t anymore, and some just fight right away. Maybe like it took like him, almost like someone almost dying, to then be, “That was, we need to do something now.” Yeah, like obviously, I’m sorry, but I think the dudes, the dads that allowed that to happen, are [bleep] [bleep], that’s [bleep]. Okay, I never, in a million years, somebody looks [bleep] kid wrong, I’m on alert. Oh, what, what, what’s going on now? But okay, so I’m gonna put it in perspective, I’m not being the bad guy, I’m just trying to put it in perspective, right?
So what he would do is, so your daughter is 14… I don’t know if, I don’t know if we can get through this. Nope, I’m like, there’s no convincing here. No, but so his, do, your daughter’s 14, and then they start a relationship, and he’s what, 25, 30? Yeah, in that range. Yeah, dead. And they have a relationship. Dead. There’s no relationship, he’s dead. She gets pregnant, dead. And then he’s dead. She, he talks her into that, “We’re going to be together forever.” Never going to happen, get married. Sorry, yes, never going to happen. Are you? So then your daughter goes to you and then says, “You know what, it was wrong, but we’re going to be married and we’re going to be together forever.” No, no way, a father should [bleep] chance in hell consent to that.
She’s 14 years old, bro, she probably just got her [bleep] period. Are you kidding me? Absolutely, for [bleep] sure, absolutely. If she was like 17, I’d be like, [bleep], you know, like, “God damn it, maybe I have to come to grips with like this, maybe like it’s her life.” Yeah, she’s almost 18, she’s about to be, you know, like, okay, maybe I can get behind that. Yeah, yeah, but 14, no [bleep] way. Yeah, anything, anything under 17 at that point, I’m like, no, you got to die. Also, then there’s another instance of somebody who’s 17, and so what happens later, see, 17 is different, because, like, I’m like, okay, like I know what I was doing when I was 17, but even still, I would still probably kill him.
But even still, now he has, now he has a track record. Yeah, you know who he is. Oh, he’s dead, 100%, dead, 100%, he’s getting killed. But then you go, okay, I’m going to do it by the law, so I’m going to go report him. Rap, yes, and I’m going to go the legal route, and I’m going to be like, “You know what, I’m not going to [bleep] kill him,” like Samuel, Samuel Jackson in Time to Kill. I’m not going to kill him, but I’m gonna go do it by the law. But then he gets away. Well, see, that’s, maybe that’s the thing, like I wouldn’t be intimidated.
Oh, you’re going to sit inside my house? Cool, I have a [bleep], I have a [bleep], what’s the name of the Armory, I forget the name of the Armory, but it’s called a VR80, it’s a tactical [bleep] shotgun that I’ve got [bleep] ready to roll. Brother, come on in. But you would think that they would have this in Missouri, that, that’s what I’m saying, that more people would be armed. You’re saying like, like Sean’s mentality of like, you know, fine, park out, you want to park, especially like you want to park on my… Man, I think, like, kind of these Western, you know, like small towns or whatever, you just, like, I don’t know, there’s usually, I think, like less law and like more like, okay, we’re going to handle this, more you handle your own.
Yeah, I think there’s more the sheriff’s like, “Do what you got to do, brother,” and then it’s like over. I think, I think it’s because you have, say, a county of like this and then you have, I don’t know, four policemen for like 100 acres, or not more than that. Way more than 100 AC. Thousand acres, yeah, easily. Yeah, and then, that’s all you have. I’m just saying, like, I could not, there’s nothing that’s more than enough to [bleep], there’s nothing on Earth, there’s nothing on earth that could intimidate me out of that. Even if I went the law route, nothing, I don’t give a [bleep], coming, I nothing, I don’t.
Yeah, but what would you, okay, no, I’m saying nothing happens, what, nothing would, even if I went the law route, nothing would intimidate me away from continuing on the law route. I see, yeah, like you couldn’t, you couldn’t get me to stop, but from what… I gather on the, this, the Skidmore community is that they went the law route. No, but, and the law route didn’t, no, but they, people got intimidated out of it, that’s what I’m saying, like you could not, he couldn’t [bleep] scare me out. Be like, “Oh, we shouldn’t testify.” Like, okay, nice try. No, but it wasn’t about that, it was like that he would convince the girls to get married so that then it wouldn’t be illegal.
It’s not illegal anymore. No, but the thing is, like, you married him. No, no, dude, she’s 14, she can’t legally get married without consent of the parents. Maybe they could back then. No, you cannot. I don’t know, work that way. I know, Georgia, goddamn. Now, Georgia’s 16, crazy. No, 16 is the age of consent, not the age of marriage. But you can consent to get… If you can consent, no, I don’t think so. If you’re consenting to sex and consenting to legal marriage, by law, yeah, I think it’s different. Can your child, no, your, you cannot, my, my kid, you kids can’t go on a [bleep], I don’t know the answer, dude, your, your, your 16-year-old can’t go on a goddamn school trip without your [bleep] consent, they’re going to.
Oh, let them get married. It’s true, it’s very true. I know, like come on, it’s very true. I don’t know the answer to that. Yeah, all right, well, if we have any legal listeners, chime in. So the question is, is you can, you can in Georgia, I don’t know on Missouri, but in Georgia, the legal consent of sexual intercourse is 16. Is that the same as consent to marriage? No, it’s not, no, it’s completely different, it’s completely different, because you’re, con, you can smash but you can’t. No, no, because here’s the thing, it’s like at 16, you’re consenting. No, you’re consenting to an act, physical act, with yourself, you’re not consenting to a legal procedure, like getting married is a legal action.
I see, it’s like a, it’s a legal, I, to get a [bleep] marriage certificate, it’s a legal [bleep] action. Okay, yeah, all right, yeah, you’re not an adult, you can’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t actually have that right. Yeah, okay, until you’re 18, you’re considered [bleep]. And I know that, I mean, the way that we presented this story is like you would think that we already know it’s a cut and dry case, like you know what I mean, but in reality we don’t know. So here are the conspiracy theories, on the fact that we don’t, no, you know what I mean, like the way that we position this story is that we obviously, like the town, the town did it, like that’s the end.
Yeah, but here are the conspiracy theories, if you were like, from a, if you didn’t think that, okay? Yeah, does that make sense? I mean, sure, sure, we’ll entertain it, sure, we’ll entertain it for the sake of the podcast. Okay, whatever you say. Okay, so the first one, the first one is, that’s the first conspiracy, built the pyramids in Skidmore, it was actually an energy weapon that killed. So the first one is what you’re all thinking, which is a vigilante [bleep] execution. Yeah, yeah, 100%, many believe the killing was coordinated act of vigilante justice with the townsfolk. I don’t even think it should even be illegal, they know, seems like letter of the law.
We know that they met at, at the bar, we actually know that they did that, there’s witnesses, there’s people that did say they met at the bar and they created a communitywide conspiracy to kill this [bleep]. Hey, they made neighborhood, it was like, it was more than a neighborhood watch, it, neighborhood action, neighborhood [bleep] snatches life. So that is the first conspiracy, okay, because that is what, and we’ve gone over this many times, which is what is a conspiracy, and it’s two or, two or more conspiring to commit a crime. Conspiring to commit a crime. So this is 30, 30 folks met at the bar, the local bar, and said, “You know what, this is it.” Yeah, okay, that’s it, it’s time.
So the next one is, some suggest that local law enforcement was complicit in the murder, now this might be on top of it, on top of the, yeah, vigilante, I’m pretty sure there was a deputy there, like, “[bleep] this guy.” So this is that the, uh, the county sheriff advised the people to form a neighborhood watch, that’s what I’m saying, neighborhood watch, quote unquote, and then extricated himself from the scene. He’s like, “Oh [bleep], I got to poop,” and that’s how it would be. It would be like, hey, like, I can’t tell you what to do, but this would be a good idea, form a neighborhood action committee, if any of you got any like Old World War II era weapons, yes, I might take those, ad storage.
And just so you know, I’m going to Tallahassee for the weekend, I got a big fishing trip, big bad fishing trip coming up, going down to Eagle Pass, a day or two. Check on, check on Jorge’s transcript, what, what happens in [bleep] Skidmore stays in Skidmore. Okay, I like that, I like that, I like that theory. An additional theory is that it’s a spontaneous killing, the theory is that Maroy’s death was not premeditated. So it wasn’t planned, mhm, it was just a rage moment, dude. I feel, I feel like that’s what happened. So, so there’s like 30 people, they’re at the bar, they’re like, “[bleep] this, I can’t [bleep] take this [bleep] anymore, our [bleep], our livestock is gone, uh, stealing, rape, murder, attempted murder, etc.” And then all of a sudden it just escalated.
Bubble, he walks in too, that’s that. And he walks in and he’s like, “[bleep] it.” Yeah, “[bleep] you, give me a blood light, bro.” Yeah, and then, and then somebody rages out. Dude, I totally think, like, what happened was, like, they’re at the bar, they’re like, whiskey sour, in like, “What the [bleep], this [bleep].” He walks in, [bleep], like he’s untouchable, mhm, with, with his other [bleep], probably 16-year-old girl [bleep] wife, “What are you going to do about it, [bleep] [bleep] you, Timmy.” You know, it’s it’s a matter of whether or not it was premeditated or not. So was it, was it planned in the bar and/or then executed, and/or was it just like, you ever get a crowd together, you ever get a crowd together and it just starts to get wild?
Oh, yeah, and then, and then you’re everyone feeding off everyone’s [bleep] rage. So, so then the idea then became, well, one guy took a shot, and then arm, everybody’s armed, you know, in [bleep] Missouri, so it was like, “Shoot, shoot, shoot.” Yeah, yeah, and that’s the theory, everybody had enough, and so someone, not like a warning shot, and they’re like, “[bleep], kill him.” Uh, the other theory, now again, all these theories are connected to the other theory, right? Yeah, they’re all the same, they’re all, they’re all, yeah. So another theory is that Trena, which is that wife of the time, who was underage and/or forced into the marriage, and/or then sitting in the truck bed with him, knew about it.
Yeah, she said it was a setup. “I want to go to this bar, honey.” “Yes, let’s go to that bar.” That’s right, it was a surprise party that was not a surprise, you know. Yeah, that sort of thing. So, um, but why would she sue? Yeah, oh yeah, that’s a good point. Yeah, that’s a good point, why would you sue? Yeah, for sure. Mhm, if she was in on it, they would be like, “[bleep], you can’t sue, you’re [bleep] part of this conspiracy.” But the death of Ken Maroy marked the end of an era of fear and violence in Skidmore, and it left the town, unfortunately that’s the only thing the town is known for, dude.
I got to visit this town, bro. For many residents, his killing was necessary, 100%, as a form of justice that the legal system had failed to deliver, and others viewed it as a troubling example of Batmanism or vigilantism. Funny, like I said, they Batman. A reminder of what can happen when people or community take law into their own hands. That is true, it’s like, you can’t, you can’t expect people to not, like, everyone has a breaking point. Yeah, and even in a community, a community is just like an entity, it’s like, it’s like a person, you know, there’s a, there’s a certain point where people won’t take it.
Yeah, and that’s what happens, like, you know, look at, look at the founding of America, dude, it’s like you had a collection of people that were like, “[bleep] this,” yeah, and this is over a 2% tax, [bleep], 2%, and they were like, “Dog, [bleep] off, like you’re not over here helping us, we’re over here grinding trying to survive, like [bleep] [bleep] this.” So in the years since Ken’s death, the story has been subject of books, documentaries, there’s even a television movie, I watched on this, it’s become a symbol of both the power of community and the dangers of a mob mentality. Oh, the, oh, okay, make the dangers of the mental, the dangers of [bleep] to [bleep] take advantage of people, that’s what it is.
To this day, no one has broken the silence, [bleep], yeah, I love this. That’s awesome, nobody has said who did it, nobody has come forward, and it ended the years of terror of this [bleep] Ken Maroy. We should have called this episode, like, “Skidmore,” like the [bleep] land of the ogs. Maybe we will, I know, right, we were, we were having trouble coming with the title, but but essentially it comes down to, I think we all know he was a piece of [bleep], like we’ve learned, like we know that he was not an upstanding citizen. So it comes down to, A, who killed him, B, is it okay that they killed him?
Yes, he got what he deserved. Yes. So, you guys, okay, there should be like, “No, no snitch…” No snitches and Skidmore, that should be the, there you go, I like that, title, “No Snitches and Skidmore.” So here we go, here’s, here’s then the question, cuz we understand that he was not a good person, but is it okay, like, let’s, let’s, let’s just take it, is Batman okay? Yes. Uh, Batman, Batman is bat. I would say no, no, no, listen, listen, Batman’s in a situation where clearly the… It’s like, imagine it’s like in Mexico, it’s like, is Batman okay in, the cartels control the government, they’re not going to do anything to help you, there’s nothing that can be done cuz the cartels own everything, if you try to be Batman in Mexico, you’re dead for sure.
You need, like, have a Batman, you, like Batman. No, obviously, obviously we’re kind of like joking on the whole Batman thing, but it’s it is actually correct, which is like, can somebody who’s a civilian, I don’t think has, no superpowers really, right? Can they take, he got have some of skills or power, but anyways, I was going to say, I mean, come on, I’m just saying, I’m just saying, is it okay if somebody takes, like, no, but if you all of a sudden does, but if you all of a sudden put 30 people to be a Batman as an entity, now we’re talking, especially in a small town of 500 people, now we’re talking.
Well, the thing is, it’s not a black and white question, it’s not like a yes or no question, cuz, cuz it really depends on circumstances. It’s like, obviously, in a situation if, like, this guy was just like a rampant shoplifter and they were like, “God, such a,” like, he doesn’t deserve to die, but like for what he did, yes, I fully wholeheartedly am totally [bleep] okay, I would have personally, myself, without the 30 [bleep]. So, like, in that situation, yes, but not in every situation, like Batman isn’t good for every situation. Yeah, yeah, but in a situation where the law, they’ve tried the law, they tried 20 [bleep] times and the law did not [bleep] provide, yeah.
So they, you got, no, you got to take it in your own hands at that point, like as a community. Um, I think they did come together to like talk about, like, what the [bleep] are we going to do, this needs to end, type of [bleep], and then it just escalated to that mob, that mob mentality that flow. The drinks were flowing, oh, especially, you add a little liquid courage, six, seven Miles, you’re like, “This [bleep] going down.” I mean, you six, seven Mill lies to us and we’re like talking all kinds of conspiracies in here, but does, isn’t that scary to like put, put the hands of justice into?
I mean, it is, but the mob mentality, that rage is real, like think back to 2020 when all the riots were going on, just [bleep] got out of control real fast in some of, it’s scary to me, the mob is terrified. That’s why I’m saying it’s not like a, it’s not, it’s not that black and white. I think mob mentality over like random things is insane. Yeah, and especially the mob mentality that doesn’t solve the problem that they’re trying to, like, those, like, for example, the riots and stuff that burn down local business, like that’s, that’s not solving your problem, that’s not proving any sort of point, you’re actually [bleep] your own people over.
This was like, here is the one problem, let’s all get together, problem. You have to lay the, the law in the sand, though, you can’t. They did do that, I know, but you can’t cross, like, you have to, they told that line, they told that line for a long time. 21 can [bleep] give, what, you act like there was, like, I’m so impressed with their silence, that part, that part I’m impressed with. No, but seriously, Eric, they tried the law, they tried, they tried numerous times, it’d be different if it was like, “Oh, we tried one time, didn’t work, let’s kill him,” but they tried, he was over 20 charges.
And on the silence, I mean, you’re in, again, back to a small community, you’re a little small farm town, everybody’s going to know everything. Yeah, and if you, everyone, like, it was the best decision, decision for the long term, or the, you know, greatest good, bro. That was the greatest, that was the greatest good, to [bleep] put this dude down. Yeah, he had to get, he had to get. I’m actually pretty surprised, I thought you were going to say that they killed the girl too, I was super happy she didn’t, I was really, yeah, good shots, good shots in Missy, baby Marksman. So there you go, that’s, uh, Ken Maroy, and there’s a documentary and a movie if you guys wanted to check it out, it’s on Hulu, uh, but yeah, you can check it out if you want.
See, a lot of you got it, buddy, Charles Schwab, exactly, yeah, it’s an inside joke, yeah, it’s an inside joke, uh, but, uh, it goes more into how horrible of a person he is. Yeah, majority, a majority of the actual, just like, building up how big of a piece of [bleep] he is, yeah, and so we kind of glazed over how horrible he was, but I mean, not really, you know, and I don’t know. No, but it gets into more detail, yeah, but again, it comes to, is it okay to take matters into your own hands? Dude, I’m sorry, if any grown man has sex with a 14-year-old, I’m like, in my mind, like, that’s a death, that’s a killing, that’s a killing offense, yeah, that in my universe, kill, in my universe, it’s a killing offense, like, you can’t, that is so unacceptable at every level possible.
I just, I can never forgive someone who does that, ever, not [bleep] ever, you never, you’ll never be changed, reformed, [bleep] you, no. Okay, last summaries, uh, if you wanted to tell me how it happened, like, do you think, you think there was just one guy, he’s like, “I’m going to [bleep] kill him,” and he killed him? I think that they’re meeting in the bar, yeah, drinks are flowing for a little while, they start raging out on this, like, cuz you get real, real courageous when he’s not there too, and everybody’s like, “Ra, he ain’t that big’s only 6’1″, my tractor and [bleep].” Then he walks in and everybody goes quiet.
Oh, I bet it’s like silence. Oh yeah, like thick [bleep], like, you know, tension in the air, palpable, palpable, palpable, palpable, pal, pal, po. So then he has a couple beers, somebody finally gets a little courage and starts talking [bleep] to him, but he’s not fazed, just like every other time. I feel like he started talking [bleep], I feel like he was the one who was like, “[bleep], what are you going to do about it?” Yeah, yeah, “John, that tractor [bleep] drives real nice on my land.” [bleep]. Oh my God, so that means it wasn’t premeditated. Well, to a certain degree it was, like they were talking about eating was premeditated, but not the killing.
I think, I think the killing was, I think not the way it went down, but I think that they were, they wanted to kill, yes, they like, that’s it, he has to be, he has to go. Well, they all had guns with them, so maybe it was premeditated. No, but they always have guns. Johnny, Johnny, go, it’s a go, it’s a go. Octopus, octopus, code word, Eagle code, Eagle. So then I think he probably felt like, “Oh [bleep], like okay, there’s a lot of people against me, like I’m gonna go outside, right? I’m going to take off.” And then, as that whole, like, thing is going down, he’s getting in his truck, one of them gets, uh, courageous, he’s like, “[bleep] this, [bleep], let’s go outside, talk to this [bleep], let’s go, let’s go.” So then, yeah, and then it, uh, one of them just gets tired of it and [bleep] starts shooting.
I think the, I would say probably if he was there, is 70-year-old is the one that, dude, I feel like my man was like, I think he came, I think, I think he probably the one that had that German, that old school German, the 8mm, 8mm Mouser, yeah, that Mouser [bleep], let’s get it. But before it goes down, maybe he’s like just [bleep] raging out at them and he’s like, you know, “Come at me, like whatever, nothing you can do about it,” type of thing. No, and then, yeah, then they get [bleep] fed up and one of them starts shooting, and then it’s like back to the mob rage, like everyone’s like, “Oh, this shit’s going down, okay, I’m going to get a couple shots off.” So what you’re saying is, is that one person took the shot with a rifle, and then there’s somebody with a magnum, and the person that took the first shot definitely was either one of the fathers or the 7-year-old, that’s what I think, 100%.
I’m, I’m in full agreement with that. First, first I thought it wasn’t premeditated, but the fact that I think that they, I think, yeah, they all have guns, but like, usually your guns are in your trucks, and don’t think, like, 30 went trucks and they got them out, I think they had them in the bar, I think they were ready, they, they were ready, they’re like, “Okay, it’s time,” and then I think he came in by accident. It just takes one guy to be courageous enough, and then the other ones will follow. And then, I mean, I mean, to be honest, the whole story is, is a, it does, it’s very, very karma, like, you know, and we don’t see a lot of karma, it’s about time the universe took.
So, uh, you know, as we wrap up this episode, cheers to you guys and Skidmore. Yeah, cheers to Skidmore. I think, honestly, I think, I think there was a karma scenario, dude, I’m happy, I’m actually happy for the community, and I’m like, “Hey, no snitches, Skidmore,” know, we grow up, when we grow up as… A podcast, we’re visiting, we’re visiting, and I’m going to go to that pub that they [bleep], we’re going to go to that, I’m going tip, that I’m going tip the bartend healthy.
