Selling? Dummies.

Wow, they sure don't look sophistamacated! <said with a southern drawl>

Looks like they were running it out of a mobile home!

Too funny!

This guy lives in the good part of town. 2087 sf house value of $15k. By the looks of the place and the neighborhood would you drink anything that came out of it? Not even water. These guys are morons. I would like to have that big stainless funnel though.

I imagine that those guys were pretty scummy for that particular Sheriff to bust them . He's a pretty good old boy . He was questioned a few years ago by a liberal reporter on how come his deputies shot a multiple cop killer , I forget the exact figure , over a hundred times . His answer has become a classic in law enforcement circles :
"Because that's all the bullets they had with them ."

"Popcorn Sutton would not have been proud of these bootleggers – it wasn't a very sophisticated operation, but they were producing, distributing and selling illegal moonshine in the area," Sheriff Judd said in a release.

The common factor in all these busts is "distributing and selling illegal moonshine". Maybe producing without distributing and selling is far less likely to arouse interest. Or is that just wishful thinking
Each of these busts just reinforces the fact that a wise stiller shares his (or her?) secret with nobody. SWMBO is my only confidante - better keep her happy

[DuckofDeath]

The local sheriff here said that they wont investigate any reports of moonshining unless it involves selling. So I think that yes the selling is what really pisses them off.

If your sellin/distributing, its only a matter of time before you are caught. And you will be caught.

[jase1977]

Well, they didn't look all that intelligent, I'm not surprised they got caught......

Yes it does. I think it was posted not to long ago.

But damn they sellin and only using two 5 gal buckets as fermenters.

To get busted them ole boys were doing a lot more than selling moonshine, that's just what they could prove. Wonder if they bought that funnel for filtering from Mile Hi or Hillbilly. Jugheads always with the Jugheads!

[Truckinbutch]

My gut ?,
WV cooker , I'm with you . That man is very smart and very well liked . Been reelected many times . Sent his guys in to grab and charge what they could . Mebbie missed the bigun , but he still got em and got face time in the media . Sent a message at the same time .
Election time is comin and he's , I been tole , a good chess player .
