Default Clay County (KY) Census worker murdered

Feds probe US Census worker hanging in Kentucky

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090924/..._worker_hanged

MANCHESTER, Ky. – When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former cop drew on years of experience for a warning: "Be careful."

The 51-year-old Sparkman was found this month hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.

Told you they should secede, and start the Nation of Nascartonia. Everyone thought it was silly, but it would be better than this. Let them go. Teach the Bible half the school day (secede already.)

He obviously wasn't a victim ... he just commited suicide ... but wanted to reassure everyone that he ate a good meal beforehand.

just read an update. he wasn't hanged, but did die of asphyxiation. he was tied to a tree, but was in contact with the ground. it's thought that perhaps drug dealers may have killed him-perhaps the fact he was from the govt was enough for them to suspect he was dea? but you're right, cali would have no knowledge of drug related murders, type of weapon notwithstanding...

Maybe he made one last irritating comment while on his census route:

"So I told your your brother he ought to diddle sheep instead of his sister. What's the worst thing he could do to me"?

You just don't want to have to move out of what would be the future Nascartonia. With every step forward, there comes the bitterness from those that unfortunately must be displaced for progress to occur.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...rss=rss_nation


State and federal law enforcement officials on Thursday dismissed the suggestion from a news service report that the man, William Sparkman, 51, may have been targeted because he worked for the federal government, calling that speculative.


"I think to give this impression that he was strung up because he was a federal employee is giving a bad impression to the nation," said David Beyer, spokesman for the FBI field office in Louisville, which is working with state officials on the investigation.


Beyer, who has worked in the FBI's Louisville office since 1993, said that violence against federal employees in Kentucky is rare.

"It's an unusual occurrence for a federal employee to be assaulted, and since I've been here there hasn't been one killed because of their employment. It's very unusual for that to occur."

While some in the media are being irresponsible and trying to portray this as some right wing people that are anti-government, the media is being irresponsible as usual.

You do not have to be very smart to see that this was likely drug related, not politically motivated. Drugs are responsible for this type of thing almost always.

No, our candidate won. So, your area of the country is the one that can't deal. We dealt for 8 years with the other jerk. 9 months of this guy, and the you see who is/isn't willing to accept Democracy.

i agree. speculation about someone tied naked to a tree with his census bureau id taped to his body and the word "fed" scrawled on his chest having anything to do with anti-government sentiment is completely irresponsible.

it was probably suicide.
