Today we're covering a requested vigilante, Nathaniel Kinney, and his terribly named vigilance committee from the 1800s. This committee stirred up a whole heap of shit in Missouri and despite starting for semi-admirable reasons, quickly devolved into some blatant fuckery. Beatings, shootings, and lynchings, they pretty much covered all the necessary bases and earned the attention of a hilariously named governor. Enjoy the tales of their night rides and comically tragic executions!
