Pursuant to the issuing of warrants, Hamer sent word to the local lawmen to come down to the courthouse and surrender. When they arrived, Hamer told them to give their guns to one of his Rangers. However, the sheriff informed Hamer that they had all disarmed before coming down to surrender.
Hamer looked at the sheriff in disbelief and said, “Dammit! Y’all go home and get your guns and come down here and surrender like you’re supposed to!”
Do yourself a favor and follow Sheriff Jim Wilson via his site and Facebook. You won’t be disappointed at his stories…and he has a ton!
He is the kind of guy I would not mind sitting around a campfire and just relax letting him all the talking.
Great movie.
