- While "Walking Tall" was very entertaining, the movie by it own account, was a fictional account of certain events in the life of McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser.
When you learn the real story, you find that although Buford allegedly "cleaned up the state line and McNairy County," no one knows of a club or beer joint he actually closed down. Also, no one seems to know of a single "State Liner" that Buford sent to prison.
Now, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has re-engaged in the investigation of the murder of Buford's wife Pauline Pusser as so much new information has been uncovered in the case.
Join us as we take a look at the REAL story of legendary McNairy County Buford Pusser, as told by those who were there and lived their own parts in this intriguing story. You will be shocked and surprised by the details of whatacttally happened.
SUGGESTION: Start with episode #1 and work your way forward as the story is told in chronological order for proper context.
it wasn't about cleaning up the line it was about controlling the money.
Well, the sound of a 4” or 6” .41 over that of a J or K frame snub nose, through a wall, would be hard to distinguish. The short barrel is like a snort muffler, it’s loud. The early.41 only wad two loadings, a heavy for hunting and a reduced power semiwadcutter for LE usage. And all firearms going off indoors a loud, the sound reverberates from the walls and ceiling. It does look like Buford was firearms savvy, the S&W .41 Magnum only came out in April of 1964. It was originally billed as the perfect police duty weapon. .44 power, 357 recoil. He must have had one of the first ones made.
great show! Always enjoy hearing Dennis.
I'm not a firearms expert but I can tell the difference between a magnum being fired over a .38.
Yep..I own 44 magnums and 41 magnums..a 41 magnum fired from any direction has a way bigger boom than a 38..especially indoors..
My mom's family was born and raised in McNairy county but she raised her family and me in Michigan she got out of that area in about 1960 and we go there as kids on vacation and we could tell they don't have much law down there and everybody pretty much does what they want compared to Michigan..... I had an Uncle Robert isbell that was a game warden and he lived in Corinth Mississippi and he was a game warden from the 60s 70s and 80s and I'm telling you they had a pretty nice place for my uncle just being a game warden he would talk about the stills and that they had no problem with him and that's as far as it went. I like my Uncle Robert he did work for the railroad before that and he lost half of his foot due to a railroad accident he take his shoe off and show us the stump and he smoked a lot of cigars.... And my Aunt Jean was the best Southern cook ever... My Uncle Robert had a catfish pond and he liked raising catfish and having fish fries was really good.......😊😊😊😊
Its like former McNairy County Sheriff James Opal Gray told me. If you don't go the the state line you won't have any trouble as they won't come looking for you.
I think most counties have that one trouble spot that has a reputation, but if it hadn't been for the fictitious movie "WALKING TALL," we would have never heard of the state line.
@@bufordpusser1122I agree 100%
those are the best memories!
Enjoy the comment👍🏻🎣
This is a really bad comment I would do better to seek the TRUTH,.
Always like hearing Dennis on your videos.because he was there when it happened
Thank you for your guest i really enjoyed this episode, Thank you for your truthful investigations...
Thanks for another informative episode.
It kinda bothers me to think after all these years I’m been thinking so highly of Pusser and what a great man he was to only find out years later that he wasn’t much better than the people he arrested !!!👎👎
Me too Keith, and i should have known. I watched the movie again last night. Its been years since i saw it. As i was watching i was thinking, dang, he was at the forefront of police brutality. Some things never change. Yes, i lost a hero too watching these videos.
@@None-ya1 thanks for your reply Tina !!❤️
Pretty much like the #bidencrimefamily mafia.
Thank you for your time!
I find it interesting that there is a complete lack of interaction between Buford and Tow head white. That I’d very suspicious to me.
This is all so interesting to me, really enjoyed hearing from Dennis
The only thing wrong with this series is the interviews are too short. I could really get into hour long talks with the guests.
So could I, however, analytics suggest that viewer prefer shorter videos. This is the reason I try to keep them under thirty minutes. It is also the reason I have broken Louise Hathcock's segments in particular into various segments.
Interviews. Just snippets .bits and then these usually in-between mostly rehash and useless yaddle. This one. A bit more
People who don’t seek the truth are fools!
👍🏻
Like your show thanks for setting story straight about Walking tall don't believe anything about Hollywood.
Why was Buford in tishmingo Mississippi when toe head was killed
I have no dog in the fight! But I'm sure there will eternally be a side to take in this matter! Interesting history!
I live near a county line. All it takes is every 30 to 50 years is 2 sheriff’s of the counties affected get into it over where the line really is? Then out comes Survey crew. If it do change it’s only a few inches if that. It’s really not worth the big fuss they make it out to be.
I seen the movies when they first came out..I was almost 12 years old, when he died
Where does Dennis Hathcock live now? Just curious
You said in one of your videos to beware of pages/sites that boot you for asking a question right? You DO THE SAME THING!! You blocked me for making a simple statement, sport!
I have over 10,000 movies,& just about half of them are true stories...!
The movie, Walking Tall was not a documentary on Buford Pusser, just like other movies that based on true events Hollywood changes or embellishes what actually happened. In this case , the bloodier the better. Pusser did not write the script. The movie was made to entertain an audience.
The gist of what I get of it this poor elam guy was traumatized when he got older and found out it was only a made for Hollywood movie. I think he made his whole life wanting to be like buford and found out it wasn't all real. Mike you should learn difference of documentary vs movie. But even then documentaries can have a narrative they project
Mike Elam is not an actor he's a former lawman like Buford pusser but it amazes me with social media we have a Mike Elam who can use his law enforcement experience to bring this information to light
Teeboize😢think about it Mike was law enforcement and yeah he got into law enforcement because of Bufford but as being in law enforcement it tarnishes the honest cops that's the tragedy
I never met Buford. I have met and made friends with his daughter, Dwanna. She owned and operated Pusser’s Restaurant in McNairy County, before her untimely demise. She was a remarkable LADY. Buford could be proud of such a daughter !!! Anyone would be. We had conversations about her father and the corruption in McNairy County which continued until her death. She was disgusted by ALL FORMS OF CORRUPTION. Such is the moral base of a PROPER lady raised by a PROPER set of parents. If her father was a corrupt bastard, as is inferred by these videos, she wouldn’t have grown up with the values she exhibited ! She raged against the current Sheriff’s Department head PROTECTING METH LABS, which became the new bootlegging of the 21st Century. Yes. She absolutely believed the sheriff was protecting the meth labs FOR PROFIT, and this greatly upset her. May she and her INCORRUPTIBLE father rest in peace, and through the mercy of our LORD AND SAVIOR enjoy the sanctity of Heaven, where Tow Head and Louise will NEVER SEE. AMEN
While you say you met her, I can see that you really didn't know her.... People think because they met Dwana, that she knew the absolute truth. That was an illusion. Those who knew her can tell you otherwise.
Of cours fiction, thats Hollywood for ya
So as much as you want to minimize what was going on at the Shamrock there was illegal activity.. This place was known for being trouble.
I heard about the wife,the daughter and Buford.what about his son...?
Mike Vance Buford's stepson passed away in 2021.
This is good stuff , i enjoyed the conversation . Irregardless of how your investigation of events in Bufords life goes , Hero or Villan he will always have his place in history , now which will it be , famous or infamous ?
I adore my sweet cousin Dennis!
My question is . If they were pulling in all this money. Cash stashed. Why not pay the taxes. I don't know numbers
But, why kill your cash cow????
...Suthenaah's just don't trust revenuers, period.
Leif Garrett played his son.
Actually the movie said that he had a son.
He had a Stepson Mike Vance who passed away in 2021 and a stepdaughter Diane Vance, who passed in 2010. The only biological child Buford and Pauline had was Dwana Pusser, who died of suicide in 2018.
Y'all keep leaving Alabama out of this which was directly linked to the Dawson gang with De Witt and Pride and all them on the Alabama side cuz my granddaaddy had his liquor and beer supply directly through them which he bootlegged here in Alabama out of Lawrence county which was all bonded whiskey and beer no white lighting involved but this was and still is a dry county
How did he get reelected when they cut him out of busting
The crookedest people in them days was definitely the cops
Not all cops are crooked it's the ones who do bad that hurt the good ones
Why.wait.50.years
Well I think Dennis is a good guy and to the point what does he gain nothing so it's not as though he has any reason to lie besides like Mike he wants the news to come out the truth
If money was Burford pusser end game then why kill hathcock if she was trying to make a deal. And this fellow that you're talking to what's his arrest record
Did you not hear Mike say Buford knew the IRS was about to take the motel for back taxes, but he knew she had a lot of money stashed somewhere, probably on the property, and he wanted to get it.
75,000 month,motel and restaurant.
He was taking money for turning his back that is terrible
She was a bad woman she got what she got
No one including Dennis Hathcock and myself are defending Louise Hathcock's illegal acts. I am simply trying to explain that Buford was a corrupt sheriff, and like the state liners, was a big part of the problem. The law applies to everyone...including sheriffs. It appears that the reason Buford killed her was his own personal greed. That is not a justification for killing her.
Lies lies and more lies
Cover.up.hidden.
Ohhh ok. So it was Jethro n jumbo shakin dice n drinkin a beer . Moonshine. Naw just taste.n Betsy. Aww. She just lose. No girls
Dennis cast too much shade away from his family. They were trash too, just like Buford Pusser!!
Àll.lies
Right on Mike! Hopefully you heard the plug I gave ya on my show about Pusser! I'll steer 'em your way best I can! I despise folklore! Wanna hear a good audio book! Listen to mine! It's runs the rails of prostitution in Hollywood! haha, Stan the Jokeman Show
I heard that...thanks!
Oh yea! Good! I really want to help you sir! I love truth! Hate folklore! You CONVINCED ME WITH FACTS! Thanks man! If you ever need an extra opinion or brain, please drop me a line and I'll email you my thoughts! I've got to go down now!@@bufordpusser1122
