Callout post for the ranger with the big iron on his hip

This guy. This fucking asshole

  • Is a cop. That should be enough but let’s keep going I got plenty more
  • Rides into town brandishing a big gun and scaring everybody
  • Agua Fria is in New Mexico. Arizona rangers have no jurisdiction there
  • His orders were to take an outlaw back alive, guess how that turned out
  • Yes, Texas Red was ruthless and a killer, but he was 24. Nobody is a good person at 24. He might have gone on living and turned his life around, but he never got that chance
  • Instead of quietly taking him in, the ranger decided to have a big public gun fight right in the middle of town, at 11:20 in the morning. How many people could have gotten hurt? Or worse?
  • Who does that, by the way? He could have waited another forty minutes and had a traditional shootout at high noon, but whatever
  • Texas Red had not cleared leather. The gun was still in the holster when the bullet ripped thorough him. He. Was. Not. A. Threat.

This is the kind of person we honor with songs? A corrupt cop who terrifies innocent people and shoots unarmed kids in broad daylight? Shame on you, Marty Robbins. Shame on you, Johnny Cash. Shame on you, Obsidian Entertainment and Bethesda Softworks

How DARE you sit here and SPEAK THIS SLANDER

  • At the time that the west was a lawless land with various lawbringers wandering around to help the towns. The ranger was there to HELP them.
  • The song isn’t about Agua Fria, New Mexico. It’s about Agua Fria, Arizona.
  • He didn’t have orders. That was what he’d told the towns people. He told them he was here to take an outlaw back alive, or maybe dead. He’d made his intentions clear the entire time.
  • Texas Red may have only been 24, but he’d also killed 20 people already! The man was  a danger! Not to mention to address your next point, there was no way Texas Red was going to go in without a fight.
  • He hadn’t cleared leather but they were both accepting that it was a shootout. Texas Red wasn’t a threat because he wasn’t skilled enough to be one. It’s his own fault!
  • For your first point, an Arizona Ranger may have been an assistant to law enforcement, they were not being paid. The Arizona Rangers wouldn’t be benefitting from this work, they were risking their lives for the betterment of the people of arizona.

At least once a day I see someone on this website saying the most stupid uninformed nonsense with all the confidence that a whole 1,500 followers and a former spot in the elementary school gifted program can give a person, but I know that bothering to correct them is probably listed in the DSM-5 as a symptom of something so I just scroll past it and try to let you guys live laugh and love

or at least sophie's personal dsm-5 which is just a list of 'things arin needs to chill about'

i just. ahhhhhhhhhhhh! why are the mechanisms so fucking cool! its like theyre a fleeting legend spoken of in hushed voices and passed notes, like the fuckin uhhhhhhh squip. they’re unsearchable! when you try it just gives you their website and mechanical services in my area! literally have never met another person irl who has heard of them! some of them have just disappeared off the face o the earth! They Could Be Any One Of Us! Gosh this feels like an urban legend or schoolyard thing where everyone knows but no one tells the adults. like their music is such a fucking bop but it could not exist for all i hear about it in the real world.

They actually HAVE a website with their music???

I’ll never have that experience, because an irl friend got me into them, but that sounds fun and spooky. Lmk if you’re having trouble finding liveshow recordings, the semiofficial fan Discord, band members’ other projects, or anything else—I’ve got a pretty good idea of where everything is at this point.

And @basaltdragon please look into their website; that’s where the Lore is; it’s very good.
