So you have a source for that? Sounds plausible but also too good to be true.

local asshole gets shot by town, no witnesses the sheriff also conveniently left town after telling the group to not confront the guy and just form a neighborhood watch.

I also remember reading an article about communities going to a widow's home, armed, to tell the bank rep to fuck off. It included a picture of 6 to 8 men with rifles at a homestead with a sign saying not to harass the widow. I can't find anything right now though.

I mean penny auctions were a well documented thing. Americans used to be metal. Wonder what happened?

Things were improving for quite awhile and folks got complacent, combone that with death of the community, the hard right switch of most churches, and talk radio and well make a fucken guess.

Not a banker, but there is the case of the town where most everyone was present for the murder, but nobody saw it happen Link

Imagine being such a piece of shit that absolutely everyone that saw you die and heard you died won't snitch. That is a feat at this point
