I halfway believe it, in part due to my own personal knowledge of how certain agents will try to intimidate folks, the threats they use, and the hell they can bring down. That part of the tale rings true to me, so if part of the tale does, then why not all of it? For the most part, those "agents" are all bluff and bluster, but usually their bluff and bluster is enough to shut folks up. Then you never see them again, but do get the occasional reminder that they are still around, keeping tabs - like Joe's gun being left in a box in his truck bed. That sort of thing.
If bluff and bluster don't work, then they CAN bring out the bigger guns and make bad things happen... but they much prefer the bluff and bluster, because if they have to use stronger measures, it leaves loose ends and questions can arise that they'd prefer not be answered, or even asked.
The gun Joe says he used, and in particular the ammunition, are real as well. I used to carry those same rounds - except in 12 gauge rather than .410 - in my riot gun. I wanted anything I had to shoot with it to drop immediately with a hole through it that you could stick your fist through, and see daylight through if the sun was up. Why take half-measures if you don't have to?
Now my real question is: why were these MiB wannabes involved? What sort of "asset" were the referring to when talking of the Dogmen? Where do the Dogmen come from, how many are there, what are their function, and why the hell are MiB wannabes running them?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Here's an interview with Joe. It's a bit longer, at 57 or so minutes, but you can hear the tale from his own mouth, and make up your own mind about what you think he believes about it:
Nice recount. Joe Barger is lucky he didn't end up as a Burgar at Joe's.
