This chapter reveals what life was like in McCormick County in the mid 1980's.

Leslie's perspective is a main focus, as she was the subject of various forms of "rural redneck guerrilla warfare". On one trip over to Washington, GA to pick up the latest edition of the Messenger, some teenagers tried to run her off the road. This incident was followed up weeks later by a logging truck speeding up behind Ken to "send him a message," while he was on a return trip from Georgia to get the newspapers from the printer.

Some sad stories from the Big Court of McCormick County are recounted.

We also get to see how Sheriff Gable treats some of the most dangerous inmates in his custody.
