It wasn't lynching. When you lynch
a man, you take him out of jail,
00:00:08.016 --> 00:00:12.039
out of the rightful hands of the law.
Here we have no police, no courts,
00:00:12.044 --> 00:00:16.319
no jails.
We have to do things our own way.
00:00:16.072 --> 00:00:20.759
It's downright murder. - You respect
the judge. He sent the Virginian.
00:00:21.016 --> 00:00:26.473
And he wasn't alone. All decent,
upstanding men, doing what was right.
00:00:26.088 --> 00:00:31.237
I suppose out here you become hard,
and lose all sense of decency.
00:00:31.064 --> 00:00:35.838
It's our law. The only kind we've got,
and I'm grateful for it.
00:00:36.024 --> 00:00:40.836
We're building a country out here,
and there's no place for weaklings.
