Shouldn't be a problem, though.  The sheriff had a lot of friends in the town and had formed posses before so he tries again but suddenly the men he thought were his friends find themselves turning yellow.  No one helps.

It's one of those films that affects me more viscerally than others.  I can watch it a million times but I always wind up squeezing the arm rest of the couch or sitting on the edge of my seat.

One scene in particular always upsets me the most.  Cooper goes to the house of an old friend to ask for his help and the man sends his wife to the door, instructing her forcefully to lie and tell the sheriff he's not at home.  He doesn't even have the guts to look his friend in the eye.  He hides.

Talk about an act of cowardice.

We watched the same thing on the floor of the Michigan House yesterday.  There's a posse in that chamber that claims proudly to defend innocent life.  Well push has come to shove.  The bill is before them.  Sitting there.  Children's lives are literally at stake.  The sheriff came to the chamber yesterday and the cowards shut themselves in a room and pretended they weren't home.

Unfortunately for Dillon and the rest of the cats with wobbly knees, this isn't a problem that's going away.  Today is high noon all over again.  If they don't act it'll be next Tuesday when they return to session.  Then Wednesday, then Thursday and every day after that.

Any time that posse wants to grow a spine the rest of us are ready and waiting.
