When segregation was a law, one mysterious Black club owner, Charlie Fitzgerald, had his own rules. Segregation in the day, integration at night. It was like stepping in another world. Was he a businessman? A criminal?
No.
A hero. Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him. Charlie's Place, from Atlas Obscura and Visit Myrtle Beach. Listen to Charlie's Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, and welcome to The Short Stuff. Josh, Chuck, Jerry, in for Dave. And we are quick on the draw here on Short Stuff. Pew, pew, pew.
That's not lasers, though.
You can draw a laser, ask Han Solo.
Oh, okay. Good point, but not in the Old West, unless it's Westworld, I guess, because we're talking about the Old West, and we're talking about a lesser-known Old West gunslinger by the name of Johnny Ringo.

Chapter 2: Who was Johnny Ringo and why is he significant?
In fact, Mason County was mainly colonized by German and British descended cattle people. And the tensions between them were pretty rough between those groups. They were often accusing one another of stealing their stock and taking their cows and rustling horses.
And then in 1875, it really sort of launched when a couple of the Brits, including a guy named Tim Williamson, were pulled out of jail by these Germans and killed in retaliation for a cattle theft.
Yeah. And they were being transported by a deputy sheriff named John Worley. And these these Germans assumed Germans who killed Tim Williamson and took some other guys and hung them and shot them. Scott Cooley, who was friends with Tim Williamson and some of the other guys, he assumed that John Worley had allowed this to happen, that he was basically in on it.
So this kicked off what became known as the Mason County War or the Hoodoo War. And the first victim in this war after Williamson was John Worley, who was killed by Scott Cooley, who not only killed him, but scalped him on August 10th, 1875.
That feels like maybe a time for a break.
I think so.
All right. We'll be right back with more on Johnny Ringo right after this. I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka neuro-linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.
It's about engineering consciousness.

Chapter 3: What events shaped Johnny Ringo's early life?
Yeah, and I have never understood what that I'm your Huckleberry meant, so I looked it up. Do you know what it means?
I've never seen Toonstone, believe it or not, all the way through.
I haven't either. I just know that Val Kilmer says that.
Yeah, that's a hole for me for sure.
He says, I'm your Huckleberry. And I guess that was the old timey way at the time of saying, like, I'm the man for the job. I can do this. And I guess he was saying, I'm the man who can kill you, essentially, or take you down or at least gunfight you.
Oh, okay.
So at any rate, he didn't fight Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. He wasn't there at the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. Apparently he was out of town that day, and I'm sure he was quite upset when he came back to town and found out what had happened, because he definitely would have been on the side of the other guys.
And like you said, all that happened about a year before he was found dead just outside a tombstone up against a tree on July 14th, 1882. He had a single gunshot wound to his head and a Colt 45 revolver in his hand. So it seemed like it was probably a pretty clear-cut case of suicide.
He'd been known to have been deep in the drink at the time, was very depressed, and he'd given an interview to the Tombstone Epitaph newspaper just before his death that he said that he was going to be run down or killed at some point. And a local historian named Bob Bowes-Bell said that he certainly sounded down in the interview. So you could make a pretty good case that it was suicide.
