No one ever thinks they’re the bad guy. The author examines the idea of villains, and how people’s perspective influences whether they consider themselves villains. The Mason County Hoo Doo War and the life of former Texas Ranger Scott Cooley.
What makes a villain? The type of act? The absence of a necessary act? One act? Several acts?
The villain, or “bad guy,” is only seen that way from one side, right? Or is the villain still a villain by virtue of being who they are, regardless of their motives or which side they’re on? In 1875-76, the Mason County Hoo Doo War raged in the Texas Hill Country.
After you listen to Episode 006, I’d love to hear from you in the comments to see how you shake out on this particular story. Villain? Or no?
