Gents, I give you the 2.3 million dollar photo of "Billy The Kid" He doesn't look so scary. If he were alive today he'd be "Billy the Internet Kid"

The Kid was shot dead at age 22 by lawman Pat Garrett in 1881, months after a jailbreak in which Bonney reportedly killed two deputies.

Sounds badass enough to me.

Ah, Billy was a good boy gone bad. I think he didn't do half of the bad stuff Pat Garrett claims..

I think killing one deputy before age 22 would still qualify as badass.

They say that Pat Garrett's got your number
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun.

2.3 Mil?

I'll give anyone a slightly better deal of photos with me posing with weapons... ;D


If I remember right, I think Billy the kid was held by authorities in a hotel owned and operated by some ancestors of mine in New Mexico, so it is possible my great-great grandfather may have seen him.
