Ken McElroy: The Bully Who Met His Match

Today, we're diving into one of the most infamous tales of small-town justice in American history. It's 1981, and the rural town of Skidmore, Missouri, is about to take a stand against the local menace, Ken McElroy. Known for his reign of terror and criminal exploits, McElroy was a larger-than-life figure who seemed untouchable by the law. From petty theft to attempted murder, his crimes went unpunished for decades, thanks to a clever lawyer and a hefty dose of intimidation.

But the townsfolk of Skidmore had had enough. On a fateful day, they gathered together, guns loaded and tempers flaring, to end McElroy's tyranny once and for all. In a story that seems ripped from the pages of a vigilante thriller, discover how an entire community came together to confront the man who had terrorized them for so long. With a gripping narrative that includes murder, intimidation, and a controversial act of justice, this episode is sure to make you question your beliefs.
