Buffalo Jim Barrier has died

In rather shocking news, James "Buffalo Jim" Barrier, the auto shop owner who fought with his business neighbor, Strip-king Rick Rizzolo of the Crazy Horse Too so-called Gentleman's Club fame for so long, died suddenly Sunday afternoon.

The Clark County Coroner's Office has not listed a cause of death. 

Barrier was talking strongly of running for Mayor.

Not sure how shocking this is really. I pray the national media picks this story up so there is a chance Buffalo's death will be solved. I wonder who the metro cops who found his body were. I also wonder how many ties those guys have to Crazy Horse

Anyone that Knew Jim knew he'd never take his own life.
I've often referred to him as a "Gentle Giant". My heart goes out to his girls and friends. He was the best.

This was a definate Hit! We all know the Crazy Horse II Guy is behind this. I hope this goes Federal and they clean the scum out of Vegas. Old Vegas style actions led by Goodman and Mafia boys
