OUTLAWS: Episode 1, Skidmore
Stream Summary
This inaugural episode of the Outlaws streaming show, hosted by Rebecca Hargraves and Devon Stack, serves as an introduction to their new Wednesday midday program focused on stories of vigilante justice, community self-defense, and outlaws, with an emphasis on narratives that they believe could inspire or inform white audiences. The hosts discuss technical setup challenges, explain the show's origin and scheduling shift (influenced by Devon's beekeeping schedule), briefly touch on current political frustrations (particularly regarding U.S. foreign policy and Trump), and then spend the majority of the episode examining the life and death of Ken Rex McElroy, the notorious rural bully and repeated felon from Skidmore, Missouri, who terrorized the small town for years until he was shot dead in broad daylight in 1981 with no witnesses willing to identify the shooter(s). The episode includes playing and reacting to segments from a 1981 CBS 60 Minutes report on McElroy.

- [01:57:44 – 01:58:01] Devon Stack: “There is a shift even within our own echo chamber, there’s been a shift. But there’s still, like a lot of people that are just totally insulated from the kinds of conversations that we’re having.”
