I grew up in North Georgia I run around with some of these men kids back in the 70s at least I was told they were DM, been so long ago now just vague memories. But this story brought back some memories
So, Birt was apparently arrested for aggravated assault and kidnapping in Aug '21, the city Admin refused to renew Rock Solid's liquor license that December, and he was arrested twice in one Feb '22 day after his own landlord and business partner reported him for selling alcohol illegally at the business. What is up with all of this?
My grandfather spent 4 years down in Reidsville. I have several pictures of him and others from those years. He would tell me stories of that place back in the day when I was a kid. Some of them were funny, some crazy but most were fuel for God awful nightmares that were impossible to run from. According to poppaw, Reidsville was hell on earth.
This podcast is absolutely the best I've ever heard... Yes this needs to be put into a movie,with stoney narrating. Thank you... I've listened to 12 episodes in two days.
Waw I felt so sad and disappointed listening to this podcast for many times on Apple Podcasts I find out just now you not so big on here keep pushing you are wonderful
My grandfather served nearly 20 years in Louisiana for his connection to kirksey nix and others in the 1960s he was called for interviews and book deals but he never spoke at all until he was 80 about what all happened but he did claim that " Dixie mafia" was a made up name created by news papers he went to his grave with a lot of guilt but I loved hearing the stories
Traveling from the Tennessee to the Gulf Coast we happened upon this podcast on I heart radio and we were engrossed and entertained by it. Still listening to it after the vacation is over.
It didn’t just start in 1965. It just became publicly known then. This organized criminal organization goes back to the early 1900s all across the south. They controlled government power. The criminal activity passed through the generations from Grand father to father to son.
This has been a fantastic podcast and I listened to every single bit of it in 2 days. But what Stoney doesn't seem to talk about in the podcast was how his mother married his father at 13. That does something to some people. It can twist some people. Also she dealt with years and years of his affairs with other women. Clearly she had an affair too but after all those years maybe she felt betrayed. I think that it needs to be remembered that all her actions later in life probably stemmed from what happened to her as a child. Just like Billy Birt's did.
Love this podcast I'm 64 years old and I'm from Tennessee. I've heard of the DM all of my life and I'd venture to say it still exists. By the way, people who were Very Close to Buford said he was no choirboy. The movies portraying his life failed to include pertinent details.
Thanks for all your time and effort putting this story together. So much history would've been lost without these series of videos. Amazing, I was on the edge of my seat.
I’ve seen a bunch of these cases, one after another, where the innocent person is framed, by the cops, district attorney, and the judges, and the Supreme Courts. It is just so bothersome to see a great man like Mr. Chapel spent 30 years of his life in prison, as backlash for doing his job and investigating corrupt cops. This has gone to hell in a handbasket. Not to mention, all these so-called defense, attorneys, actually work for the prosecution. People think these defense attorneys drop the ball of accident, no they drop the the ball on purpose.
The podcast “COUSINS BY BLOOD”🩸. That covers the framing of Ivan Cantù, and the killing of him by the state of Texas on death row, the guest on that podcast talked about this case , and I’m excited to see what happens.
