For generations, the Bogle family came to be defined by their criminality, with at least 60 family members known to have been incarcerated over the years, the family's lasting legacy became crime
I should say bootlegging and drug smuggling are... giving medicine to the poor, wife beating was an accepted practice in the C.E. 1960s, forcing children to smoke and drink until they threw up was traditional discipline, "molestation" could mean "being beat up for no reason," selling unlicensed goods just means selling goods without the tough-on-crime bureaucracy, trickery at carnivals is legal, I get the impression from the article Louis Bogle lived in a cottage and made a car out of scrap metal parts, and laws are a social construct. In the proto-feudalism of the Anglo-Saxons it was the responsibility of the households to administer justice like fining, ordeals, hanging, drawing-and-quartering, torture, flogging, mutilation, slavery, outlawing, the stocks (which served the purpose of prison rape) burning, drowning, exile, being buried alive, an arrow in the eye, or beheading, and people could get killed by their neighbour for going on to the latter's property, like in all premodern societies. Feuds were practiced by most or all premodern societies, and people beat each other up for amusement in street fighting. "Bogle" seems to be an Irish name, so I suspect they were of Irish Traveller or triracial heritage; also is "Bogle" is related to "bogey?"
Wow! And in my backyard almost! Great read so well put together love it!
Reminds me of the Whites of West Virginia.
