  • he shot himself

  • @sctthinson23 No… he gassed himself to death.

  • I grew up in southwest VA, come from a long line of prohibition era moonshiners,If a man wants to make some corn liquor in his free time.Get drunk and support his family with his own hillbilly way of doing it,Then leave him the fuck alone,Popcorn will be well missed.

  • no matter what you are and still will be a good man bless you popcorn. From Your Black Freinds Rest in Heaven

  • Who is that son of a bitch judge? give up the name it is public record.

  • would have been kickass just to hang out with popcorn even if it was just one day!!!

  • Family friend, Ali Randolph, sang her original song about Popcorn at his Memorial Service. She has now posted a video of the song played with her band, The Outta Luck Band.

    Video footage includes Popcorn's car where he decided to end his life on his terms.

  • R.I.P. Popcorn Sutton

  • Popcorn got any tommy,guns

  • thats one guy i would love to met..he seems like a cool old man..

  • the judge that sentenced popcorn sutton and made him kill himself should be giving to the people that loved and knew popcorn and let them but that son of a bitch to death. making a 62 yr old man kill himself is like him killing him and if no one likes this to fucking bad and i hope the someone that knows the judge reads this.

  • I did not know the man before all this hoopla, but I wish I had...A genuine person who lived off the grid and made his way in the world the best he could...He did not invent Moonshine but he made it his way and I hear tell it was damn good...The law should spend more time busting true criminals like cocaine dealers and such and leave the backwoods folks alone...RIP Popcorn...They say in heaven there ain't no beer, well now they got moonshine instead...

  • Comment removed

  • bradnc you a dumb son of a bitch leave kids alone you dumb mother fucker

  • Loved this entire video series. Much better than anything on the Hellavison. Who ever the judge is that sentenced him may i say fuck you. If for no other reason than you would probably be the candy ass that would let a pediphile off with a couple of months or some other worhtless fuck doing a lot worse.

  • Thank you for this video and God Bless

    Dan

  • The dam judge has done worst things BY FAR than Mr.Sutton ever did .....ever one thats ever judged Mr. Sutton will face him someday, standing before the REAL JUDGE and there wont be no way to talk yourself out of it nor run from it!!!!!! So the time to be scare was when you JUDGED another man.

  • The Dam Judge i bet has done far worst things than a good old feller like Popcorn so who in the HELL was he to judge anyone,,But i garantee the Dam Judge will face the REAL Judge someday for what he cause after sentenceing and Popcorn will be right there SMILNG!!!

  • just another example of the law going to extreems, just like a story of a kid on a mini bike runnin from the local police, some rent a cop jumps in front of the kid on the bike,(to get him to stop) then wants to send the kid to prison for life for attempted murder. i'm sorry popcorn, if i were you i'd haunt that judge and never let him sleep,

  • All these damn comments are true as hell. Fuck the screwed up government. I'm no redneck but I can respect the way this man lived. Hell I'd rather live like he did and be happy than live in debt in some big house and be miserable. They should have left him alone. He didn't ever hurt anybody.

  • You know ? Im an Englishman and took an interest in the making of moonshine likker ! I have followed Popcorn to this point and it has saddend me a lot to see that he died in this way !! from eight thousand miles away even I can see he did no real harm !! all I can say is this! I hope they put in the foot stone !! god bless.

  • Can someone tell me how he died please I've heard roomers but I don't know fir shore

  • @BanjoSam13 Suicide. He told his wife to go run some errands for him and while she was gone, he ran a hose from the tailpipe of one of his cars into a hole he had drilled under the driver seat. He got in, started the car, and suffocated in the exhaust.

  • @evanup77 You're right about how he died, but he didn't have a wife. She died some years ago. He's tilling on the video, that he lives by himself.

  • @LineaheXe The video was made more than 10 years ago before he married his last wife Pam. They had not been married very long when he killed himself.

  • @BanjoSam13 Yup, Died of suicide, Because his way of life the ABC agents decided to get him, He was sentenced to 18 months... Shot himself not wanting to go, A legend at its finest, What he truly believed in, and believe it or not, His recipes for things like simple headache medicine to cough medicine are the most effective ive ever heard of.

  • @strikerjojo He didn't shoot himself; he suffocated himself in his car.

  • @evanup77 then damn, good way to die, drinking your own creation and in that ford of his :D

  • Popcorn seemed like a kind soul & fuck the judge thats responsible for his death. The Feds need to clean up the crooked police , crooked ass court system, crooked lawyers & judges that arranges payoffs for get out of jail free cards . I'd say there are more crooked officilas than Popcorn Suttons ! Another thing.. Screw all snitches !

  • The Second Annual Popcorn Sutton Tribute August 6,2011. Maggie Valley Festival Grounds. Maggie Valley,NC!

  • to me he sounded like a man that meant what he said....i guess he got tired of the gaukers comin around eye ballin and such...didn't blame him a bit. they should've made a movie of his life and give him the money and he might not have had to make the white lightnin...well....maybe...

  • I've read , seen the clips o' old p'corn and I only wish I could've met the man. I know that Popcorn sits comfortably with any kin that died b'fore him and I say "Popcorn, pass that damned jug over this way, buddy, and see if I get stuck up on that mtn. after a few sips."...................Beani­cus

  • Once in a great while a person comes along in your life.A role model and a hero.

    He may be gone but not forgotten.Popcorn knew the true meaning of Freedom.

    Wish I colud have know him personally.

  • We can put an end to the fed destroying people. If you are ever on a jury, you are above the law. I would have hung the jury until hell froze over. The law and the defendant are on trail.

  • Germans have a saying that goes something like this: "rather an end with horror than horror without end".

    I'd have done the same.

  • I blame that fucking judge he could have gave the old man house arrest hell he had cancer.fuck all them rich fuckin feds.

  • i met popcorn sutton and he was a very sweet and nice person i loved him to death all he wanted was to be left alone by people he did not know he will always be rememebered in my heart and soul rip in peace popcorn u will always be remembered and always loved

  • He seemed like a good old guy. I have known quite a few such men like him from growing up with that dying breed in the Appalachin Mountains.

    I don't care for the law neither, as many such I know have similar feelings.

    I have only known of him from youtube..

    Anyways,Popcorn, see ya on the other side pretty soon, I hope.along with Hartley and Manley Cole,Longy and Fishbone Place, and my Grampa and Pa.

  • lol he pulled a double barrel from under the chair! i wish popcorn was my grandpa, he is AWESOME! R.I.P poppy

  • Proud of our culture. Born and raised in East TN, I am 22 years old now and have grown into a deep respect for the way of life of those that came before me and made Tennessee what it is today. R.I.P. Popcorn. The feds should have just let him be...he wasn't hurting anybody. Hell my dad's parents made moonshine in the hills and my mom's parents did too.

  • As far as i'm concerned, he, popcorn, was a living historical visige of americana and aught to have been declared off limits to the authorities, i mean, who did he hurt? No one, but laws that America it'self went to war over once for it's independence, killed more than a man-it killed the ideals that this nation was founded upon, the kind of freedom that Popcorn Sutton exemplified.

  • Man, old uncle corn had more then a dog and house in woods all that money he made went to his tractor and fix the roof on his tin can. rest berried in soem where buzzered couldnt find...they made it look like he killed himself. but the truth is he was murderd by i better not say it i might get in trouble. i plee the 5th

  • All the poor man was doin was tring to make a livin . I bet if he paid taxes on the product he sold they would of never even fucked with him . All they really care about is money .

  • its not just taxes, you need a license to make and sell that stuff!

  • Just before PC was arrested, Willie Nelson introduced him to his audience at a concert in Cherokee. He asked the audience how many enjoyed PCs product, and the audience cheered. He even did a distillation demonstration at Dollywood. I have a few more examples, but you get the picture.

    Popcorn didnt really make much of an effort to keep his activities secret, which probably wasnt a good idea for someone committing Federal crimes. Thanks for your kind words! :-)

  • Popcorn had an interesting relationship with the media. The first videos were recorded at Popcorns request to sell to tourists in his Maggie Valley junk shop. A documentary filmmaker in North Carolina made another video that was distributed to area PBS stations to see if they were interested in buying it. He also did an extremely candid interview with Johnny Knoxville (from MTVs Jack-ass). Popcorn appeared in a human-interest story for WLOS (the ABC station in in Asheville, NC).

  • Amazing, wonderful story, I grew up in west tn, Live and work most of time of Saudi. Im 40 this year and cling closer and closer to my roots and family farm. Growing tomatoes, making whiskey, like the way we talk, its all part of who we are, Glad you posted this, wonderful job

  • THIS Old guy never did anything in his life as bad as these courpt judges and lawyers and prosecuters in America,what a shame, this is coming from a Guy who worked as a correctional officer in a max prison.the system is crooked.Sad but true.

  • @ilililhy I do respect those of you who do that kind of work.But I cant stand the corruption.I have a friend who was just nailed in a pot bust here 800lbs.Its a huge deal.I know its illegal.But even though im not a weed person I dont see why its illegal if alcohol is legal ya know.Hes facing 25 to life.He should get time without question because its illegal but what pisses me off is like you said the judges that sentence him are FAR more corrupt than the people they sentence

  • @ilililhy What we need in this day & age is whistle blowers,so you should come forward if you have the inside track.

  • @ilililhy nothin wrong with doin nothin for society if your not takin anything from it either. dont criticize people and they wont criticize u man

  • I have 3 Jars he made in 1981..I sip 2 jiggers every new year....Its got a special flavor never to be re done.maybe someday he Smithsonian will want the last one.

  • i feel sorry for the man who breaks into his house R.I.P. Popcorn Sutton! he's such an inspiration to fight for what you believe in!!!!

  • y the hell couldnt the atf leave the old timer alone he wasnt hurting a damn thing..they should worry more about the druggies who are causing trouble everyday..how often do you hear about a moonshiner killing some1..RIP Popcorn

  • y the hell couldnt let the old guy alone what was he hurtin..the damn atf should b more worried about the drug dealers who r actually hurting something instead of screwing over popcorn who is just a good ol boy that dont bother nobody unless they bother him.

  • true blue ol southern boys that love it in the hills are hard to find they are a dieing breed and if the courts couldnt give him a break even though he was in rough shape then fuck them. hell why should they have even gave him time for it i mean he had probly been makin that before the judge and jury wore born so ill say again FUCK THE JUDGE AND COURT WHO HAD POPCORN SUTTONS CASE

  • well i did not know popcorn but he was a part of american history and the old way of thinking when all of his genaration are gone them ways will be gone we all could take an excaple from him he was happy with his little house in the moutains and his moonshine trade didnt need a big super nice house or trucks cars just give him a little copper a few jars  some old barrels and a fire and he felt like a millionar rip popcorn

  • "Loaded to the maxation you can put in 'em"

  • damn that suck that he killed him self .. he was a true good old boy ... god bless him

  • Who ever wrote that shit about "kid friendly" and "adult friendly".... fuck you! Teach your kids how to god damned act around other people's shit and you aint gotta worry about that shit. And if you aint got it figured out by the time you become an adult somebody needs to shoot your ass any ways ya dumb fuck! You aint nothing but a god damned carpet bagging bitch (or worse yet scallowag fucker) and well need to be shot anyways! Show your youngins the belt when there young and teach some manners.

  • Popcorn saw these videos when he was alive and thought they were pretty damn funny. Thanks for the comment tho. Your pal,

    the dumb carpet bagging, scallowag fucker

  • LOL I like your response. I am amazed he saw them, he didn't look like the high tech type but I could be wrong. Perhaps he had an underground layer that was so sophistocated and secure it would make the Pentigon wet it'self ha ha.

  • @BradNC11175 wtf are you even talkin about its a video just for laughs chill out psychopath

  • @BradNC11175 you dumb son of a bitch keep your mouth off kids id shoot you if i met you dumb mother fucker leave kids alone and shut your fucken pie hole

  • richie is 100% true i live in TN part of the time, and we know a man named Aurthor Bullington and Larry Hall and they both new him very well. The way he killed himself was getting into his truck and running a hose in the exhaust and suffocating himself, he had cancer and did not want to go to jail because he couldn't survive in there.
