I was asked a question and I answered it honestly. I stated that when I met her that she had been drinking, she slurred her speech and almost fell, something was confirmed by several others taht were also present at the time. I did not say she was drunk.
It seems as though you are the one making accusations here. At leaast I try to back up what I say with documentation, photos, or witness statements when I spaek of Buford, so whats your particular problem?
Look Mike ya pole smoker.. you have plagued this mans memory and family for long enough, far too long actually. you joined this forum just to rail on the man.. even the criminals he busted have more class than to rail on a dead man's memory and family.. you are scum Mike and you won't find any sympathetic ears for your BS around this community. go to hell you lecherous piece of rotten yankee trash
Look CHT, If you want to believe the story of Buford Pusser is true, you go right ahead. Maybe you can counter with some facts rarther than just your mouth. Why are there no reports , police, medical, newspaper or otherwise to prove that Buford was ever beaten and cut up at the Plantation Club? If Buford received 192 stitches to his head and face as W.R Morris wrote in "The Twelfth of August" (page 50, last paragraph) why did photos taken shortly after that show NO SCARING to his head or face. Why are there no witnesses that ever recall seeing him with a head and face full of stitches after that alleged attack?
Why don't you tell everyone here how Buford was alleged to have robbed and beaten W.O. Hath**** at the Plantation Club TWO YEARS LATER with the help of two friends Jerry Wright and Marvin King Jr.? Why don't you tell everyone how Hath**** claimed it was actually Marvin King Jr who beat him with a blunt instrument and how Pusser took credit for it in the movie, which started the "big stick" myth.
While your at it, why don't you explain away all of the statements by people like Skeet Adkins, Betty Sparks, Paul David English, Olin "Sonny" Davis, who claim that Pusser was corrupt and accepted payoffs? They lived "the real story" just as Buford did but their recollections of those time are vastly different than Buford's were.
Explain to people who have not researched this subjest as I have, How that ambush Cadillac was able to negotiate a winding New Hope Road in the predawn hours of August 12th without the use of headlights and was able to catch Buford's Plymouth Fury after only seven tenths of a mile? You might also explain how the cars were side by side and with the cars just three to five feet apart a professional hit man managed to hit Buford only once. Whyy don't you tell everyone about Buford and Pauline's marital probelems and how she had threatened to laeve Buford and report his corruption. Tell everyone how they were supposed to be separated at the time of the ambush.
Why don't you explain to everyone here how Buford was able to live beyond his means of a simple country sheriff as he did? Ever consider that just maybe other were correct about him accepting payoffs? Maybe thats how he could afford new cars and all of those guns he purchased.
Very little in the Movie "Walking Tall" was shown factually.
Yes, you are totally ate up by Buford's wild tales and can't face the truth about him.
Dwana? What have I really said about her? Yes, I did question her claims that Buford fought not only the state line mob, but the mobs from Chicago and Detroit as well. If your such a Dwana fan why don't you offer us some proof that the Chicago and Detroit mobs were working in McNairy County as well. No one but Dwana seems to know anything about that or the "contracts" she alleges were placed on "the kids" back in the 60's. If she wants to make those claims shouldn't she expect someone to ask her to back them up?
Rather than criticize me, why don't you share what you know about Buford? There is a lot more that I can share but what would be the point of wasting information on you? After all, you just want to believe in your hero.
