History

Uncle Sam showed up. He may have been a local man in a colorful suit, he may have been a stranger, but he waded into these killers, and he thrashed them all. Bullets and vehicles were useless against him, and he never got tired. Very soon the Black Legion, all still alive, were hanging by their hoods, from hooks on the local creamery wall, waiting for the police to arrive.
