Didn't you just love him in the unforgiven? What a first class scumbag but still admirable.
Yes. Unforgiven is a great movie. I thought of that scene when I read this article. Part of me wanted to cheer the mother, yet I realized what she did was take the law into her own hands and rushed the Lord's work just a bit.
On a lighter note (no pun intended), but along the same lines, have you ever seen Payback, starring Mel Gibson?
