One of the reasons I’m attracted to the Old West genre is the notion of frontier justice. Bad people got what they deserved, a bullet between the eyes or hung. Avenging wrongs against your family, ala Wyatt Earp, was expected and accepted. The process had its flaws, but bad guys knew they couldn’t get away with it forever. I live vicariously through the actions of Wyatt Earp and what he did for his brothers. I’d have done the same.
