True Crime - Hillsville Massacre

Trigger Warnings: very brief mentions of child marriage. Otherwise, gun violence in the early 1900's. Movie moments shouldn't lead to a massacre but that's what we have here. A rom-com-esque moment at a dance leads to a bloody mess at the Carroll County Courthouse in Virginia when a prominent family feels like they can get away with anything.
