The Hillbilly Gospel:
Thou Shalt Not Kill
(Except If I Don't Like You)




A guy with the unlikely name of Maverick Bryan became a little annoyed when the mayors of seven different towns decided not to post the Ten Commandments in the school rooms.

So what do you do when the local mayors refuses to write "thou shalt not kill" on the school blackboard? Well according to Maverick Bryan, you kill them. You take them out onto the court house lawn and hang them from a tree!

(Where's all that Christian love and tolerance we hear so much about?)

Maverick Dean Bryan, 56, appeared before U.S. District Judge Susan Hickey with Texarkana lawyer Jeff Harrelson in a third-floor, Arkansas-side courtroom. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Harris said Bryan's plea agreement includes Bryan's pleas of guilty to seven counts of mailing threatening communications, a 12- to 18-month federal prison sentence and the government's agreement to dismiss a single count of felon in possession of a firearm at sentencing.

"I never meant no man no harm," Bryan said. "I'm just an old trucker, a mountain man, equipment operator. That's all I am, ma'am. I made a grave mistake, your honor."

Handwritten letters postmarked Jan. 5, 2015, mailed to the mayors of Hope, Nashville, DeQueen, Ashdown, Lewisville, Prescott and Murfreesboro promised to hang the community leaders from trees on the courthouse lawn if they didn't put prayer and the Ten Commandments back in school and eliminate the Common Core curriculum.

At a detention hearing last year Bryan admitted in colorful testimony to penning the letters and to being the author of an advertisement that ran twice during 2015 in the Thrifty Nickel seeking a $23 million loan to raise a Christian army to overthrow the U.S. government.
