Title: The Famous O.K. Coral shoot out.
Post by: Frank Castle on 20 Aug 2008, 13:01

Does anyone know much about this? back in the 1800s Wyatt Earp, his two brothers, and Doc Holliday marched up to The Blantons.. well known outlaws, and tried to arrest them.. which turned into one of the most famous actua shoot outs in history.

Anyway..

 I watched a special on The O.K. Coral shoot out the other day. They were investigating the conspiracy that Doc Holliday shot first, and instead of shooting in defense, he commited murder or some bullshit. They had criminalogist, historians, and ballastics all over the area. Not only did they manage to disprove that Holliday fired an un-provoked shot, making the sherrif of Tombstone a liar, but they were able to peice together based on testimonies and evidence EVERYTHING that went down
They even proved that it wasn't at the O. K Coral, but down the street from it, in a alley way no bigger than a living room


I was amazed at how well these guys could put this altogether about something that happened over a hundred years ago, but still can't catch crooks while fall through the cracks of our justice TODAY.

Not to be nitpicky, but it's corral. Only reason I bring it up is because I'm just juvenile enough to keep happily daydreaming about undersea shootouts now.

I highly recommend that you come to Tombstone, and watch the re-enactment.  It is pretty cool, and they do discuss the various interpretations of the actual gun fight.
