Census worker hanged, "FED" written on his chest

Yep, I read that it is our number one cash crop since tobacco has fallen by the wayside. Believe it or not, there's still a lot of moonshining that goes on in eastern Kentucky. I've gotten some primo shine over there in the past. A buddy got some 5-year old shine that was as smooth as any $50 bottle of bourbon.
tons of meth in kentucky too.
 
Coincidentally this federal workers was lynched two weeks ago....What has going on two weeks ago? The 9-12 protests was one thing that was going on two weeks ago.

You forgot to mark this post as <sarcasm>.

You should be careful or people might think you were actually serious.

Did it not happen aroung the same time as those protests? A lynching, Fed written across the chest, A federal worker....it doesn't look good.
 
I can sense the partisan hackery [FONT=&quot]© coming a mile away. I hope I'm wrong.

I make no judgement on this news at all. It may likely turn out to be nothing concerned with politics or we may never know what happened.

What would be the number of "politically" motivated killings in a year by identified liberals that would start to concern you?

I know you would't blame liberals in general but is there a number where you might say hey we have a problem?

Or on the other side does the killing of one abortion doctor per year concern you there there might be a larger issue we're dealing with?

ahhh here comes the predicted partisan detour.


Never mind the decomposition of the body that was found on Sept 12th.

Clearly it was as a result of the 9/12 issue.. its Glenn Beck.. no wonder he was not in DC for the demonstration.

damn serial killer.. first there is the unanswered question of whether he raped and murdered a girl in 1990, but now he needs to answer to this charge

did glenn beck carve and hang a census worker in 2009?

Kentucky goes after 'Marijuana Belt' growers - USATODAY.com


When you think about the people in isolated Appalachian and Ozark communities where illegal marijuana farming is predominant (called the "Marijuana Belt,") distrust of ANY stranger is significant, and these folks have always been suspicious of federal law enforcement. I suspect this guy was in the wrong place, wrong time, and ran into some bad guys. It was a pretty standard practice 80-100 years ago to do this to federal agents in these areas. And these types of criminals are hyper-paranoid.

Marijuana growers like to draw attention to themselves by hanging the dead bodies of Federal workers in trees with their bodies defaced.

I assumed those in the drug trade wished to keep a low profile?...Apparently not according to Poli. Forum.

I can't recall a dope grower ever lynching a federal worker and writing Fed across their chest.
 
Of course it is and it is just the very kind of political violence that many have been predicting because of certain recent events.

You two need to call the FBI since you obviously know who did this and why.

So what do you feel are the chances, given the timing, that this is not a federal hate crime?

lol...or the guy stumbled into a meth lab.

I was listening to the ABC newsbreak and law enforcement seems to believe that is exactly what happened, they found computers and other items that look like they were used for those purposes.

I'll stick with my original thoughts on the cause of his death:

Police said the area has a history of drug trouble including methamphetamine trafficking and marijuana growing in its forested valleys between steep hills and ridges.

"That part of the county, it has its ups and downs. We'll get a lot of complaints of drug activity," said Manchester Police Chief Jeff Culver. He said officers last month rounded up 40 drug suspects, mostly dealers, and made several more arrests in subsequent days.

Dee Davis, president of the Center for Rural Strategies in Whitesburg in southeastern Kentucky, said Clay County is impoverished and has a "pretty wild history of a black market economy, a drug economy."

"I don't think there is any deep-seated hatred of government there," he said. "Government is not seen as the enemy, except for people who might fear getting caught for what they're doing."

Davis said it was a dangerous time of year for someone to go knocking on doors because marijuana producers are typically harvesting their crop. "It would be reckless."

"Things can go bad really quickly," Davis said. "There are places that you would not send a Census worker this time of year. "

I have not heard or read this part. Got any link to this infomation?....I did read they found the lynched workers computer. A typical meth head would take computers and anything else that is not nailed down.

They found computers at the scene that had meth production related imformation on it?
I don't think so.

If it was drug-related, aren't DEA/FBI guys commonly referred to as "Feds"? As such, would it not be a natural thing, if they were going to write anything on his chest, for them to write?

Seems like Occam's razor's most likely target there.
 
It's the lynching part that spells volumes....Druggies typically get rid of their victims when they murder them...they don't LYNCH them and write messages on them.
 
How many druggies do you know who have gotten rid of bodies?
 
This was an attack on a federal worker...i hope this isn't what it looks like.

Tim McVeigh attacked federal workers.

That sure didn't take you long, but we expect that from you.
