It's just a story to intimidate would be horse thieves oroy. There never was a thief or a hanging party. (Or a gay party for hung men if you prefer - Republican convention perhaps?)Originally posted by oroy54
Long ago in this area a guy was caught stealing horses. We never knew if he was hung or was he hanged?

And, perhaps if the poor thief had not been so ignorant he may have had a successful career and he would not have been hanged.
