A corrupt business owner induces a corrupt police department to get a corrupt judge to sign off on dismantling their biggest critic? I'm pretty sure "Boss" Hogg tried to get Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane to do that every few episodes.
This is literally mustache twirling TV villain bullshit.
feels like C-tier reruns one sees on the classics channel.
That was a really good article. I think all the corrupt assholes in Marion must be feeling some regret because people are digging into everything now and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
You just know there’s no way they thought it would ever go beyond their small town. They had no idea it was going to go national.
They Streisand'd themselves real bad.
That area is rife with weirdos.
I grew up in the area, and Salina/Huchinson are bizzaroland!
Corrupt politicians and priest fighting with crazy wiccans and witches. Curses, salt mine stories affecting things? All kinds of lunacy in that region
I have heard several accredit this in part to the fact that this area is at the intersection of the 70/135 freeways that are two of the largest drug trafficing highways in North America, I believe historically. And the cops are corrupt AF too
