Скачать или смотреть Frontier Justice and the Illusion of Law | Power, Land, and Revenge in 1923

This scene is not about an arrest.
It is about who truly controls justice.
On the frontier, legality is inseparable from ownership. When Banner Creighton is arrested, the law appears to function normally — a warrant, a sheriff, a charge of murder. But beneath the surface lies a deeper truth: violence committed by the powerful becomes “law,” while violence from the powerless becomes “crime.”
Banner’s accusation against Jacob Dutton exposes the contradiction at the heart of frontier society. Jacob nearly killed him and executed his companions — yet the act is considered justified because it protected property.
This is the moral architecture of the frontier:
land creates power,
power defines law,
and law legitimizes violence.
Banner’s threat — “You won’t cheat death a third time” — is not just anger.
It is the promise of a cycle that the legal system cannot stop.
Because in 1923, justice is not delivered by courts.
It is negotiated through fear, reputation, and survival.

Call to Action & Discussion
Let’s discuss:
• Is Jacob enforcing law or protecting power?
• Can legal systems exist independently from land ownership in frontier societies?
• Does Banner represent villainy — or desperation?
