Bert Mansfield ran a large dairy farm outside of Bradford, Michigan with a thousand or two cows... He milked three shifts a day out there, every day, and it was no secret that a lot of his milkers were illegal aliens.GM5
Bret was the father of two boys, probably twins, named Brett and Brock. The brothers, both Class of 1988, bullied other kids at school and complaints were ignored as Bert sat on the school board. He responded with the phrase, "Can't he take a joke?"GM5
Steve Sharp was bullied too often and, when the brothers tried playing chicken, rammed his mother's Buick into their pickup, head on, and at a combined speed of over 100 mph, killing all three.GM6
Bret denied any blame attaching to his boys and initiated a feud with Steve's father, Phil Sharp at the crash site, leading to Bret being led away in handcuffs.GM6
The town of Bradford was split between families that liked Phil and those aligned with Bert. Mansfield's arrogance and the smell of the farm drove many away and Sharp was purposeful in his retaliation. Mansfield's farm was repeatedly raided by the INS and having his laborers deported. An accidental sewage spill brought lawsuits from the Defenders of Gaea.
When the annual school board elections rolled around Mansfield filed for re-election. Someone took out advertisements pointing out that he didn't have any kids in the school system. Mansfield lost the election.
By 1998 the vendetta had cost Mansfield his wife and his farm... bankruptcy and three heart attacks.GM8
