It didn’t? Are you sure about that? Did the cowboys use alarm systems on their horses when they went in for a drink at the local saloon? Did they have to take off their saddles and rifles when they went inside?
Did they chain the horse to the hitching post like it was a ten speed bicycle?
We are better than the muzzies. They don’t provide welfare to anyone who’s too lazy to work but still has the energy to steal.
Alarm systems on horses, ten speed bicycles and horses at the same time, get serious or your argument is worthless.
Listen man, you’ve got your point of view, and I’ve got mine. I happen to be in favor of capitol punishment and you certainly are also. I just don’t think that it’s justified for a simple burglary, and you do. No skin off my back, I don’t really care all that much.
But getting to the cowboys (much more interesting) well, let’s see now. If I was a horse thief, and 1850 or so, first off, I wouldn’t steal the horses from the guys in the local watering hole, probably friends of mine in there anyway. Not a good idea in plain view from other townfolk unless the whole town was drunk, but not a likely scenario.
I’d go in the saloon and see who’s there. If it were some well-to-do guy gettin plowed, I’d go to their ranch while they were sh!t-faced and steel horses from there.
But, we do agree on another thing besides capitol punishment. I still believe we are better than the “muzzies” also, as long as it lasts, since we can’t forget who our president is and how he wants to “change” the country.
