Billy The Kid Tribute from Young Guns & Young Guns II

July 14th was 136 years since Billy was supposedly killed. My tribute to Billy The Kid from the Young Guns movies they were pretty inaccurate but I do think they portrayed his personality as described by his friends back then as funny, quick witted, impulsive, a loyal friend & a person beloved by the surrounding communities who hid & protected him from the law. I had a lot of trouble fitting all the important parts of his story into this video and some are missing but I managed to include, 1. The murder of his boss John Tunstall (somewhat of a father to him) by hitmen hired by the local sheriff who was being paid off by Tunstall’s business rivals. 2. The deputisation of Billy & his friends by the justice of the peace to bring in Tunstall’s murderers. 3. Tunstall’s funeral - actually Billy missed the funeral after trying to arrest the murderers he was sent after he was in turn arrested and they kept him locked up just long enough to miss the funeral. (assholes) 4. The Battle of Lincoln, a 5 day
