Sure seems as if it would be easy to bushwhack Matt Dillon
Think about it...if there's one thing Dillon has done it's make enemies. Although most of them end up in Boot Hill, some still survived and others would have had lotsa relatives. This means Dillon is ripe for ambush.
And how easy would that be, you ask? Pretty easy, I answer. Dillon seems to be a man with a regular routine.
- He's the biggest dude in town. As one man said to Cheyenne: "It ain't easy to miss a big fella like you."
- He has very little armed backup in a town of nearly 1000 citizens. Many many times he's by himself.
- He "goes on his rounds" every night. No problems hiding in the dark and waiting.
- He eats regularly at (what seems to be) the only restaurant in town, Delmonico's. No problems hiding and waiting for him to emerge.
- He never seems too concerned about sitting with his back to the door...ever.
- The jail doesn't appear to be heavily fortified, the windows don't even have covers.
- He routinely escorts prisoners to Hayes City. No problems hiding and waiting along the route.
- He's occasionally shown sleeping in the office. Again, easy to shoot through the windows with no covers.
And the unmentionable:
Someone would have to guard the outhouse when Dillon occupies the seat.
I would guess there are more...
