Issue with We Don’t Fight At Weddings

I’ve rewatched the series a few times and just finished this episode again. Something always bugged abut this episode. Wayne and the group should probably be in prison.

Almost all the time there’s a fight, the participants are willing or they’re at least degens from up country. In either case no one’s gonna bother with calling the cops.

The city assholes, and they are total assholes who need an asskicking, were neither willing or a degen. Katy and Bonnie lured them, Tanis locked them, and then Wayne, Dary, and Dan beat the hell out of them. Cuts and bruises, probably a broken nose on one, and maybe a concussion on the other.

That’s conspiracy, forcible confinement, and assault causing bodily harm. That last one could carry a ten year stretch and that could be per victim.

City folks I’d imagine would definitely call the cops. Even for well known good old boys in town, I couldn’t imagine local enforcement wouldn’t be able to sweep it away with the body damage these guys took.
