An Outlaw’s Curse upon desecrators of graves!
From Fox News Latino June 27:
The tombstone of Old West legend Billy the Kid was vandalized in New Mexico.
Authorities in New Mexico’s De Baca County said the Billy the Kid tombstone, weighing over 2,000 lbs., was tipped over and damaged by vandals, who also stole three antique rifles and a shotgun from the old Fort Sumner Museum, according to KOB-TV.
The thieves also vandalized other graves in the cemetery.
De Baca County authorities said that the criminals were still at large and that there is a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest.
That’s karma you don’t want to mess with.

Well, you know, Billy never was exactly a popular guy……OR– perhaps Billy’s ghost himself did this to let the world know: heeeeee’s baaaaack! The stealing of the guns only further verifies this theory(a movie script waiting to be written, perhaps?) Were any horses stolen nearby as well?
I like the way you think…
Hope Billy’s ghost catches up with these vandalizers and thieves. Pity the results.
