No it's not yellow when I plug people in the back or beat up
your customers.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I have been watching American Westerns, like Gunsmoke and other creations, and there is a common theme of what is right and wrong.
They are interesting to me in, "You can not shoot someone in the back". The other one is, "It is self defense if the other man draws first".
Odd things in the past few years I saw an unarmed Ashley Babbitt shot down and it was all kosher. Then there was unarmed LaVoy Finnicum, gunned down while in the deep snow.
I don't know what is fair. Americans and British firebombed Germans and Japanese unarmed civilians by the millions to death, and no one said that was cowardly or unfair.
There is all kinds of self defense too, I have seen that in the Westerns. Some bully can bitch slap some guy who can't draw with a pencil, and when he does draw, the gun man shoots him down, and it is all self defense........it is murder.
The military ambushes most of the people it kills. There was that Gordon Kahl up in North Dakota, he was ambushed there by cops and then was well made dead and burned up by the cops in Missouri.
I just don't get the law in this.
Same with Marshal Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. Sometimes a woman can shoot someone, like her husband in the back for hiring someone to murder the man she loved, and she goes nuts and he won't let her go but hauls her in. Then some guy he is supposed to haul in, gets into a shoot out, and other get killed, and Matt Dillon just says the guy he was supposed to take in got killed and lets the other guy off.
It seems that Americans were taught to play fair, and fair was to stand there and let other people get a shot at murdering you and if you do not do that in defending yourself, you get charged with murder, or in many cases, you get called a coward, yellow or someone to be shunned.
Matt Dillon though pretty much gets to beat up who he wants, shoots who he wants and no one says much about it.
Americans are all into this fair play stuff and believe it. I just can't see much of that fair play in real life to prove the point in America or out.
Thing is in this Gunsmoke, a guy shoots his wanted partner in the back, goes to collect the 1000 dollars and Dodge City is turned against him for shooting the criminal in a back. I fail to see how giving a murderer a chance is being brave, especially since every wanted poster never stipulates you have to make it a stand up fight.
I seem to recall Matt Dillon and Chester ambushing some murderers and killing the whole bunch.
So in the end the guy's girlfriend sets Matt Dillon free. Dillon kills everyone. She has saved Dillon's life, and is thinking marriage, and Matt just says she can be a whore in the bar or work her ass off. Dillon apologizes and says he will always be grateful for her saving his life and just leaves her in a pool of tears.
Yes she ends by saying Matt Dillon shows the quality of decency in what she forgot.
Those seem to be 1962 values that Mockingbird instilled in Americans and the world. It's why the world turned out the way it is today. Like women and Matt Dillon standing under the big sausage. I wonder how the censors let that one slip by. Like the woman at the chuckwagon getting Matt Dillon a drink of water, and his pelvis is there as she reaches for the big spigot.
Yes as Doc Adams said, we need new laws when those who are special are not dictating to everyone else.
Yes in another episode a woman has her dad shot, and Matt Dillon tells her to be with the man who did as he loves her.........next episode, Miss Kitty is pursued to bankruptcy by a man, but Matt Dillon does not tell her to go be with the man as he loves her.
Well that was sort of like John Wayne's America, without all the one aw for others and one law for the important people.
Nuff Said
