Rudabaugh shot & killed two men over a card game, left the saloon, couldn't find his horse, decided to re-enter the saloon & was met with a hail of bullets. His head was then cut off & paraded around on a pole. As per Old West decorum, they did not touch his hat

In the early 70s, Martin Scorsese was tapped by Marlon Brando to direct a Native-themed project (the extent of Brando's concept). Unfortunately, Indian activist (& actor) Russell Means absconded with Scorsese's girlfriend & car. Scorsese left the project over "political problems"

Once he started calling himself Billy the Kid* the goat pun became even more appropriate

In this instance it was an affectionate play on the name Kid Antrim, which is what he was going by at the time

From what we know, all of his killings were done in retribution, self defense or to escape hanging. He was not a spree killer or someone who just killed for fun or sport.

There's no indication he was racist, but especially not towards Mexicans. He loved their language, culture & women & they loved him in return (nicknaming him, "El Chivato") . He was a petty criminal after his mother died but got wrapped up in the Lincoln County War after a friend was murdered...
