      I was in high school in Kansas City when this happened. Was a big deal (to everyone except the people of Skidmore).

      Edit: For those that don’t know, Ken Mcelroy had been skirting the law for decades. When people said he can’t keep getting away with it, he did. One day some citizens had enough and shot him while he was sitting in his truck. Local police, state, FBI could never get someone to come forward on the shooters (there was more than one).

      a loud noise was heard and he fell over.

      and nothing of value was lost except some perfectly good ammunition

      He had 15 siblings and at least 17 children. I suppose his funeral might have had a decent turn out after all

      No one saw anything, except a few did specifically see Del Clement NOT absolutely magdumping him.

      Again, there were a few witnesses, they happened to be looking directly at Mr Del Clement, who despite McElroys wife identifying as the shooter and owning weapons chambered in the ammunition found to have killed him, saw him explicity NOT shooting him.

      It’s kind of interesting that Skidmore has two other crimes connected to it, especially when both involved family members as the victims:

      [The Disappearance of Branson Perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Branson_Perry) where he just up and left, never to be seen again.

      [The Murder of Bobbie Jo Stinnett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Bobbie_Jo_Stinnett) where some crazy lady killed her to kidnap her baby.

      I’m gonna go with the “town is cursed” as my working theory.

      Sometimes bad things happen to bad people and theres just no other reason than that they deserved it. Guess we’ll never get a real suspect here.

      Half of them probably took part considering how much he got obliterated by bullets

      Agatha Christie would have either loved it or sued for copyright infringement(not saying which book so not to spoil.)

      The damnable thing is they had a trial first. Then someone executed the court’s instructions. Not too unlike the Regulators in Northern Illinois.

      In Italy we had “similar’ stuff happening after the war. Many fascist who had terrorised the population were mysteriously skewered with pitchforks/ shot/ run over by tractors. No one ever admitted to it and the police’s reaction tended to be “oh well”.

      I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of RWBY gifs as memes recently. Did something happen with the show, are they just being promoted by some gif repository algorithm, or is it just me?

      According to the legend, half the town just mag dumped him in his truck all at the same time

      Honest, probably stupid question: is this what inspired Freddy Kruger’s backstory? Or do these sort of things happen often enough to be happenstance?

      Welp. The law should make sure justice come to right and determine punishments, not individual people. But when the police doesn’t do it’s job, someone else have to do it
