re: #206 Killgore Trout
I’ve seen the technique used in old cheesy cowboy movies but when was the last time you’ve heard of cops intentionally setting a fire to smoke out a suspect? It probably hasn’t happened in a very long time.
Cheesy perhaps, but documented to have been done at least twice. During the Lincoln County War in 1878 during a 5-day “siege” of a house that had William Bonney (aka Billy the Kid) in it. Also to a hotel in Australia by the police while dealing with the Ned Kelly gang. Again, after a prolonged exchange of gunfire.
