Hey everyone,
I've been thinking a lot about the attack on Big Mac McKenna and can't help but wonder about the role of fear and loyalty among his employees during that time. Strip clubs back in the '80s had a reputation for being pretty rough places, and working under someone as intense as McKenna must've been both intimidating and intriguing.
It's got to be a complicated mix of emotions for his staff. On one hand, losing a boss in such a violent way is shocking, regardless of his lifestyle. On the other, knowing he had a lot of enemies might have left some of them with a sense of dread about what might have been happening behind the scenes and who might come after them next.
It also makes me think about loyalty. Did some people stick around out of genuine respect, or was it a relationship built on fear? It's a chilling thought, and my heart goes out to anyone back then who might have felt caught up in a situation they didn’t fully understand. I can't imagine the emotional turmoil of carrying on with your life and job knowing what happened to McKenna and the potential dangers that came with it.
Curious to hear what you all think about the environment around Big Mac and what it might have been like for those who worked with him.
Stay safe, everyone!
Hey everyone, I’ve been following the Horace Joseph "Big Mac" McKenna case, and I’ve been thinking about the role of McKenna's personal relationships in the investigation. Given the complexity of his life and businesses, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for detectives to sift through not just potential suspects but also people who genuinely cared about him. Sometimes, in these cases, those closest to the victim are subjected to intense scrutiny, which must have been emotionally devastating for Michael, McKenna’s son.
It’s easy to judge the lifestyle choices people make, but McKenna was still a father, friend, and colleague to many. I wonder how investigators balanced the need to explore every possible angle with the sensitivity required when dealing with individuals who lost someone they loved. Does anyone else find this aspect of investigations especially challenging for those involved?
