"EXACTLY 125 years ago today, about 2:40 p.m., three lawmen — Marshal Virgil Earp and his brothers Wyatt and Morgan — and their friend Doc Holliday walked down Fremont Street, today Highway 80, in the silver-mining boom town of Tombstone, Ariz., and into a lot behind the O.K. Corral to confront four “cow-boys” (as cattle thieves were then called), the brothers Ike Clanton and Billy Clanton and Tom McLaury and Frank McLaury."

More disgusting glorification of guns and violence! If Ike Clanton and Billy Clanton and Tom McLaury and Frank McLaury had been provided with the appropriate social programs, they wouldn't have needed to resort to cattle rustling. And they would not have been subject to the sick vindictive behavior of Marshal Virgil Earp and his brothers Wyatt and Morgan — and their friend Doc Holliday.

Another example of brutality and violence of American law enforcement agencies and the complete abandonment of civil liberties. ;)
 
Not to mention the law was there to take the peacsful cowboys' guns, a violation of the Bill of Rights. :)
