Oh, I forgot to mention,for those that didn't know, the actual story happened in Tennessee.. was a true story (which HOLLYWOOD TOTALLY phuqed up)... Sheriff Buford Pusser fought a local crime ring (alcohol and gambling) to end up losing his wife in a coordinated hit... he survived the first round... but ended up losing his life in the end..
And NONE of this took place in TEXAS!
Yes, my husband and I were very touched by the Sheriff doing the right thing at such a high cost.
***Sheriff Buford Pusser fought a local crime ring (alcohol and gambling) ****
Years ago, One of my supervisors had kin in that area. They said Buford Pusser fought the local crime gangs because he was not geting enough of the "take".
You are correct Mr. Japan. Buford was sheriff in McNary County Tennessee. Coincidently the same area that former Governor Blanton was from (for what its worth). I actually saw Buford speaking at a church in Forest, Mississippi back around 1972-1974 ... Big guy and he had that stick with him. We could use a few more in America like Buford.
