TIL about Ken McElroy, a criminal shot by at least two different firearms and nobody charged for his slaying despite it happening in front of a crowd of 30+ people.

He needed killing.
It is a good story, worth reading.
Sounds like a “Drowning Mona” moment.
That whole town/county is weird

I knew a logger that said he would have a beer with Ken from time to time. He said he wasn’t a friend cause Ken didn’t have any. He wasn’t surprised when it happened.
Crap, my title was based on the [wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy) but I copied the superlong mentalfloss article instead.

In broad daylight is the book. Great read.
If you know his history, he deserved it.
