Instead of sentencing Popcorn to jail they should have made him an official ambassador of the state of Tennessee, and his likker the official beverage.
If only. The governor should have stepped in & pardoned him. Not only because of his age & non-violent offence, but because he was a real, living, breathing part of Americana. Or if only one local law enforcement could've tipped him off. I mean, you know they drank his likker just as much as anybody else around there.
@@King_Flippy_Nips i dont know anything about that but i have a funny story. When I was in 7th grade one of his stills blew up and it was the talk of the town for awhile. The local gas stations had glass jars out labeled "Popcorn Sutton Disaster Relief Fund". 😂

It's a shame Popcorn couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Not only soon after his passing the laws for making spits would become more relaxed in the south, but he would have had investors pounding on his door with buckets of cash to get in business with him.
this is one of the reasons i could never be a law enforcement official. its real easy to arrest and imprison murders, rapists, robbers, etc., but not so easy in situations like these.
most cops local wouldn't Even try bust him knowing full well he had it it was head atf agent made the bust and you know them high up feds dont care they just want money
A true American hero of the people who stood against the over reaching Government who take and take and then take even more... Never met Popcorn but consider him a lost brother. My you rest in peace Popcorn Sutton.
It would have been an honor to shake this man's hand. It it weren't for rebels like him life would have been bland and boring. Ive drank moonshine before but I wish I could have had a cup or 2 of his "Cadillac." A intricate piece of mountain culture has now been given to the ages. RIP Sir. I'll always hold dear in my heart my mountain heritage.
How is it fair to victimise a guy for his way of life? Yet the government sell alcohol that's taxed to hell? I've only discovered popcorn this past week and couldn't believe he took his own life because of the law Such a shame, people like popcorn should be put on a pedestal he was a wealth of knowledge. Such a shame
I didn't know Pop Corn ,but would have liked to. My grandpa used to make moonshine in the hills of W. Va. If Pop corn was still alive, and knowing what I know now I would have made the trip to see him, and to buy his shine. May God Bless him, and his soul rest in peace.
Maggie valley has really turned to scrap in the last 20 years. Now it's full of rich outsiders who built mansion size summer homes. Popcorn was smart. He used to hang around the small.gift shop owned by some of his relatives and bs with tourists that would stop in. He always carried a 38 pistol he would save around on occasion. He played the mountain man stereotype to the max and sold a lot of shine because of it. Those people would go back home and tell their friends. Toward the end he had several people working for him and cranked out hundreds of gallons from large stills. That old copper lot still be is shown with is not what he actually used.
popcorn,,,even though they arrested you and your dead and gone...they all know they done you wrong,,,,....they thought they were smart and cool...they were too stupid to realize ,,they were nothing but fools.........rip......
Popcorn said the ATF told him that he had in excess of 800 gallons of liqour on his property. I call BS because he sold it faster than he could make it.
@@roxannemoser have you seen the pictures? it was in all kinds of containers dude could have made it and forgot about it in storage old timers like him dont have the best of memories.
R.I.P Popcorn Sutton I'll never forget about you, you were an amazing guy to be around and always knew how to make me laugh through the good times and the bad and you were one of a kind and when they made the mold you broken it with y'all likker.
they say "he was too old to make moonshine again", because he was know to always say; "I’ve run my last run of moonshine, I'm not gonna do it anymore, I'm just getting too damn old to be doing this stuff." but i think at one point he also said he will make it till the day he dies. he was popped with over 800 gallons the last time he was busted... *R.I.P. Popcorn*
He was buried in my family cementary in the mountain beside my great aunt Letha hicks two days after he was buried they came a dug him up and it was a different tombstone
I recall the wbir news in Knoxville talking about him being dug up and moved due to vandalism. Also, check out, Johnny Knoxville interviews popcorn sutton. ;)
Folks keep moving to the country and there ain't gonna be none left. We had a 200 acre Horse Farm in GA, now we have a fuckin trailor park n our back yard, because of greed and illegal rezoning. Popcorn will never be forgotten, and the judge who sentenced him should be ashamed.
Popcorn lived a better life up in those hills then 90% of people ever get to do... Why? Because he was happy with what he had, he wasnt greedy, and he was completely free, well up until the stupid ass feds showed up!!! RIP POPCORN!!!!
Nah just be smart about it. He feuded against the FEDS and LOST, as does anyone. Lesson learned keep your secrets a secret, dont blab and brag about them, and certainly dont video them, esp if they illegal and you already being watched.😊
The ironic thing is that Popcorn could have started a legal moonshine business and made tens of millions of dollars from his notoriety, but fate would not have it.
any of the moonshiners of the past could have, but thats completely against the entire principal of making moonshine. he already paid taxes on the ingredients for the mash, already paid taxes on the copper to make the still, paid taxes on the gas to get up the mountain, paid taxes on the land hes making the shine on, and paid taxes on the jars he puts the shine in. none of his processes wouldve been "up to regulation" and he wouldve been fined and taxed into oblivion before even being able to make a drop of likker. the rich get richer while the ones with the passion get arrested and "made examples of." whats the difference between selling eggs or potatoes at a roadside stand and selling moonshine? the govt can take a bigger cut from the moonshine, therefore it isnt allowed. back in the early 2000s it was $15 a gallon tax for ethanol, now its upwards of $36.
Best of best of best excellent ,I am sorry I did not meet Honorable (late) Mr Sutton when he was alive, this regret I take to my Grave , excellent ,super God bless best of best , AAA+ I am speechless 👏Those who put thumbs down don't know what they doing , And as Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. luke 22:34 Please forgive those who put thumbs down for late Pop Corn Sutton
Pop corns legacy is still living on, i guess he taught only 2 people the exact way he made his shine, so hopefully those two will keep it going and that they both tell anotger 2 people just to keep it going
Dolly Parton should have set him up in Dollywood doing demo runs. Sold the goods legally with Popcorn's picture on the jars. She could have paid the taxes on that 800 gallons. Let him and JB entertain the tourists in their old age. Let them train the next masters of the art to take over when they had to retire.
Takes me back to a time before the news media thought they knew better than the citizens... i miss those days. I wonder what popcorn would think about the world now
Ever body talkin bout Popcorn, if we gonna honor him, we the people, we americans, got to stand up and be counted as sayin what the law done is wrong. No man should be able to tell another he can't make his own drink. I get the tax part, and I can agree that the same rules that apply to taxing jest about ever thing else should stick, but when a man just want's to make his own peaceful drink at night, seems like thats what God wanted him to do. Change the law, if you want to honr Popcorn, change the dang law, do it the right way, get together using the internet and your numbers count. Tell congress who you are and what you want. We are a law abiding people, but the law gotta be fair and not so dang petty and selfish.
I work with a guy like this, looked and acted like he was 80 , yet was only 62 when he died, I see guys in the gym still lifting older than him , it's all in the mind

If u like liquor his will not make u want to puke and it don't burn much at all. That's what makes the difference between good corn liquor like popcorn made and the rot gut stuff. Even at 100 proof it was so smooth a baby would take a second gulp if they got their hands on the bottle. That's not exaggeration. When you try some real good corn liquor, the first thing that goes through your mind when it hits your belly and you're instantly high as a kite, is "what in the hell are they doing to all the legal liquor, to make it taste so damn bad, when a man can make it in the woods and it comes out trading this damn good!?" I mean it goes down almost like good cold water but if take a big shot it goes right straight to your damn head faster than it can get down your throat and you want another drink and then you better hope somebody with some sense is the to make u put the lid on it because you won't want to.

If u like liquor his will not make u want to puke and it don't burn much at all. That's what makes the difference between good corn liquor like popcorn made and the rot gut stuff. Even at 100 proof it was so smooth a baby would take a second gulp if they got their hands on the bottle. That's not exaggeration. When you try some real good corn liquor, the first thing that goes through your mind when it hits your belly and you're instantly high as a kite, is "what in the hell are they doing to all the legal liquor, to make it taste so damn bad, when a man can make it in the woods and it comes out trading this damn good!?" I mean it goes down almost like good cold water but if take a big shot it goes right straight to your damn head faster than it can get down your throat and you want another drink and then you better hope somebody with some sense is the to make u put the lid on it because you won't want to.
