Big Sarge Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 17 AUG 1877 - William Bonney killed his first man. The scene was at Camp Grant in AZ where he was a teamster. Billy got into a fight with a blacksmith Windy Cahill. Cahill had Billy pinned on the ground during the fight and Bonnie shot the unarmed man. Cahill died the next day and Billy soon went to New Mexico to avoid trouble over the shooting. Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Billy was such a sweet boy. Quote
Shawnee McGrutt Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Just misunderstood, the neighbors said he was a quite boy. Quote

guitar_slinger Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 He was just starting to get his life turned around when the police shot him dead for no good reason Quote
Sedalia Dave Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Way i heard it, the Blacksmith had a least 100 lbs on him and poor Billy was afraid for his life. So he used the pistol in self defense. Quote
