I think he asked someone running a meth lab or a pot farm some of those intrusive census questions.

for example:
What do you do for a living?
How much do you make a month?
What do you spend a month on electricity?
What do you spend a month on gas?

Someone prolly thought he was a revenuer

I agree with Neal Boortz, and Hannity, and Rush, and Savage, and Beck, and O'reilly follow the GOP: Personal responsibility, neighbor helping neighbor, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, charities, churches, kindness of strangers, local and state only, no taxdollars from out of state taken by force to help us, say NO to Washington DC, we don't need nor want nor will we except and take Obamadollars, no big federal government stuff down here, we want out of the union, secession now secession forever.

I'm looking at this based on my 20 years experience in the NYPD.
The last ten years spent as a detective in a precinct detective sqd.
I not only responded on my cases and my sqd's cases but we also responded/assisted on hundreds if not thousands of other occurrances over the years. Interviews, responses, canvasses, evidence recovery, etc.
Not counting my other ten years. All spent in busy precincts/commands.
Never once did I see or even hear of a true "Old West Style" hanging. There was a hanging from a tree in Brooklyn's Prospect Park once. The 1990's ?
There was a lot of investigation on that one. It made national news. I believe it was proven to be a suicide.
They were able to determine that he put the noose around his neck, climbed up the tree, tied up the rope, then tied up his hands in front and then put them under his legs to get them behind his back. But in doing that front to back maneuver, the rope scuffed the front of his shoes. Leaving that mark as evidence of a suicide.
I'm not a 100% sure on that.. maybe you can Lexis Nexis it on a search.
Many of the suicides I responded to were hangings. They're difficult for the average person to comprehend but they actually do happen. You just never hear about them. It was also a very difficult thing for surviving family to come to terms with. It all was a very sensitive matter. People would hang themselves from shower door top frames, cords on window blinds, closet rods and overhead pipes. It wasn't an everday case but they happened a few times a year.
Along with the other "traditional" forms of suicide. They are a tragic, fairly frequent occurrance. They're not a secret to Law Enforcement. It's a very well known - by the Police - occurrance.
Based on my training, a true hanging is a very difficult act to accomplish.
It takes extreme violence to actually hang someone. Whether implied or used.
Unless you're chemically knocked out beforehand, or beaten into unconsciousness, who wouldn't resist ?
They would generally put up a huge fight. In doing that, there would be physical evidence of that struggle.
Could it happen at gunpoint ? Of course anything is possible.
The history of Dictatorship's and some hate groups, show many hangings.
But they're at the point of some form of other means of certain death, if you don't submit to the hanging.
I just doubt, with a 99% certainty, that this was a true forcible hanging.
Of course, just because I've never heard of, or seen one, doesn't mean it couldn't have happened.
And none of us knows the actual facts and evidence of this particular matter.
That's why it'll have to be thoroughly investigated.
Either way, pray for the deceased.

Makes me think of the black woman in Atlanta whose business was spray painted with the "n" word. Turns out she did the spray painting herself and blamed it on conservatives. Of course the dnc media failed to report that fact after she was caught. democrapos ALWAYS lie.

That is what Pelosi was doing was stirring up crap. The San Fran riots she was referring to? Remember?

It was irresponsible for any of them to bring up this crap.

And you quote a site promoting Al Sharpton the biggest race pimp in history!!!! COME ON Snarky even you are better than that!

LOL, you are quickly losing your credibility.

Exactly, 777.

Not only is Clay County, KY a hotbed of Meth and Marijuana production, this is the time of the year when the feds do their marijuana crop raids.

I would bet anyone a steak dinner that this turns out to be drug war related.

"their words have consequences'

seriously, do you ever read what you type?

or how about this:

or gee - all african witch dr signs from protestors while carrying loaded weapons.

yes, let's tone done the rhetoric. DUH! THAT is what Pelosi was saying...

NOT black. If he were, the words "racially motivated" and "hate crime" would be sprinkled generously throughout the report. My condolences go to his family and friends.

Conspiracy Theory Time: This is a false-flag operation by Leftists to silence the opposition on the Right by tarring us all with a "hate" brush.

QWERTY - you are another moron.

(1) "but I wish that the firebrand right wing opinion leaders out there, like the talk radio hosts, would realize that there is a but I wish that the firebrand right wing opinion leaders out there, like the talk radio hosts, would realize that there is a psycho contingent among their listener/reader base that sometimes takes the anti-government, anti-liberal rhetoric and acts on it in a very severe and unfortunate manner.anti-government, anti-liberal rhetoric and acts on it in a very severe and unfortunate manner."

Please show me a pattern or significant trend of where people who listen to conservative talk radio commit violent acts. Where is it, idiot? 15 years and you have only Tim Mcveigh?? BTW, what eveidence is there that he was a conservative. He was an anarchist. Worry about the liberals, they are the violent radicals, you ignorant dunce you.

On 9/12, million conservative protestors were in DC. Not one SINGLE arrest. Now, lets's take a look at your leftist buddies and how they will act during the G20 today. Take a look at how they ALWAYS act in these settings. Take a look at every president or major politician who has been shot - who was the assassin? It was always a big time lefty. God's sakes, you are ignorant.

(2) "Jim Adkisson, the man who shot up the unitarian church in Knoxville a couple of years ago because he hated the liberal proclivities of that church and its members, was found to have a bookshelf full of books by the usual array of conservative TV and radio hosts (e.g., Savage, Hannity, O'Reilly)."

You have no proof of why he shot up that church, you are assuming (actually you are being racist!) and stereotyping. As for what books he had on his shelf, what the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in china. You are making a correlation between two things that may have nothing to do with each other. He may have had cooking books on his shelf too, along with football books. You know, the people who were shot in the church all were wearing blue shirts. They checked the killer's closet and found only red shirts there! Yes, it is clear that he had something against the color blue!!!

Bottom line: If you are truly worried about being a victim of a criminal who was driven by political event or political ideology, you better watch your back and keep an eye on the libs, they are the ones you whould be wary of when it comes to political violence.

You are a dimwit.

Well, I guess his tally is gonna come up at least one short.

What.....Too soon?

osamabama to go there and investigate this hisse'f................

the republicans are responsible!

I thought the poor rural meth dealers were democrats?

Good point.

Coal mine country (heavy UMW), always been independent and xenophobic. When I worked the area as a Fed with Department of Labor, we didn't use Govt cars because they had a tendency to be damaged or shot at - and we were harmless.

"but I am a democrat, which means I believe in upholding the constitution"

That maaaay be true....but the problem is you don't (as a democrat) have the first clue about what's actually *in* the constitution.

damn neal....... I'm glad we didn't catch any of those sumbitches that flew into the towers.......we ain't got that many buildings like that.......

just hire me to do away with bad guys....first I need a job.......second I would get a kick outa makin' 'em get ready to meet either their maker or ol' smoke.........

a lil' water boarding.......red is positive, black is negative, make sure his balls are wet.......now this may hurt ALOT!!!

Here's what I don't get . . . the census is not until 2010. Why was this guy out collecting census data in the first place . . . or if he wasn't, then why is it significant at all that he was a part time census worker?

I had a Census/ACORN worker turn up on my doorstep on a Sunday evening at 8:30pm. She did not have picture ID. She claimed she was with the Census bureau and needed to get a GPS reading of my front door.

I reviewed my copy of The Constitution and I cannot find where they have permission to enter my property to get a GPS reading.

Pretty stupid too... Where is live is out in the sticks. I did not flash anything, but I was packing heat when I confronted her. The neighbor next door keeps his backhoe keys next to his shotgun. It is just stupid to show up after dark and try to do these things.

Sorry about the Census worker who was hanged. A harbinger of things to come with increased government encroachment?

sure, when you find one let me know.

"I am a democrat, which means I believe in upholding the constitution."

That's the funniest thing I have read all week! Thanks Jimmy, I needed that.

And Neal, or the right in general, doesn't do the exact same thing? Sure...it is only liberals and the left who generalize the other side based on the wingnuts.

Knew we could count on you Snark, that's why I bothered to look.

Jimmy you believe in upholding the constitution only as long as it supports your party, same as the Republicans.

OK SB, I'll not argue your post if you will only be consistent and blame ACRON, Reverend Wright, Van Jones, et al for inciting every violent crime committed by blacks against whites.

Not the safest place for Federales anyway. Those folks don't take kindly to ANY government interference, unless it's their Gubmint Check courtesy of Rep. Hal Rogers.

Y'know Neal, I am a big supporter of bringing back exection by hanging, but I would take it a step further. Hang em in the main part of the town nearest to where they committed their crime, and leave their body to hang on the end of the rope until it rots off. Give em 1 year for their appeals then carry out the sentence. Also put a big sign under the body saying "Murderers, think twice before this happens to you". Not only would it bring a measure of vengeance and justice to the family of the victim, it would bring back a measure of respect for the legal system. Right now a murderer knows that he has 20 years on death row so why worry?

I guess republicans stomping on the Constitution didnt stop with the fact they lost every election. Forget that clause about cruel and unusual punishment also. I dont agree with it myself like I dont agree bearing arms means all weapons, but I am a democrat, which means I believe in upholding the constitution.
It sucks sometimes

a man yelled FIRE! in a crowded theater and two people were trampled to death by the crowd trying to exit the building.

The kooky left wing propaganda machine is trying to paint the person who yelled FIRE! as being responsible for these deaths but, of course, no connection has yet been established.

pfft.
