A right wing ACORN did it, having been driven mad by reading stupid partisan posts on the internet.

There was a case back in the 80's where a woman was killed because she walked into a restroom during a coke deal and was found later with the word pig written on her. She was a security guard at the store across the street whose bathroom was broken, so she went across the street to the diner on the corner, a known drug hangout.

I don't think it was interrupted. The man was naked, blindfolded, and gagged.

There is a good chance that something similar to this happened here. This guy likely witnessed something that the perpetrator did not want revealed to the world (drug deal or worse).

I suspect that he stumbled onto a meth lab somewhere and was killed for it. Perhaps a "Hillbilly Heroin" distribution ring, although those don't have the outward signs that a meth lab would.

Wasn't too many years ago that any outsider was looked at very suspiciously and often thought to be a "rev-newer."

I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of backwoods hillbilly type people think Census takers are spies.

Wow, a bunch of crow to eat in this thread.

Analysis of the evidence determined Mr. Sparkman's death was self-inflicted," police said in a statement.

"A thorough examination of evidence from the scene, to include DNA testing, as well as examination of his vehicle and his residence resulted in the determination that Mr. Sparkman, alone, handled the key pieces of evidence with no indications of any other persons involved."

So much left winger fail in this thread. I don't expect anyone to publically eat crow, hypocrite punk bitches.

He hung himself then spray painted the words "fed" on himself.
Being a smart ass, but ending up accurate


Kentucky. 'Nuff said.
Jackass. 'Nuff said.

This happened two weeks ago. If this was a simple suicide (not belittling the man's death,) then the investigation wouldn't be still going on, and the FBI wouldn't still be involved.
The usual stupid from JK, having no clue what he's talking about.

My guess as the most likely: some radical right consumer of anti-government right-wing media did this, in a frothing act 'against the federal government'.

Similar to the guy who shot up the Universalist church, after reading several books by right-wing authors like Ann Coulter.

Note for the right who read things into what's said that weren't said: this is not saying that any more than a few people who fit this description commit terrible acts like this.
The usual stupid from Craig.

Kentucky has a bunch of nuts. I'm sure the FBI will find the inbred mental midget who did this.
Heh.

This is obviously not a suicide...never heard of someone spray painting and hanging themselves. How inept were the initial police on scene not to rule that out?
Heh.

Not going to be a suicide. They typically wish to be found during/after attempt depending on whether its real or an attention grab. You don't go to a remote corner of national park to off yourself. Oh, or spraypaint either :)
Heh.

Probably Knights in White that are behind it.
Heh.

Oh hey, another fox news/glenn beck murder
Shocker from the crown prince of stupid.

I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of backwoods hillbilly type people think Census takers are spies.
Heh.

Wow. I'm used to practically every incident of spray-painted racial slurs turning out to be a self-inflicted hoax, but hanging yourself is just going too far to make a point. I think though the earlier suspicion - insurance fraud - is probably spot on.

Funny post tree, Alchemize.

Punk Bitch:rolleyes: Tough talk for an Internet twat.

Yeah I was wrong, it wasn't the KKK though I would've suspected them over any other group as they have done shit like this in the past. Sorry I offended you by suspecting the KKK.

And without the talking points in print before your eyes you are lost.

Glen Beck personally delivers them every morning. We have coffee, share a good cry together, then go off to post it.

BTW - How was your coffee with Hugo Chavez this morning? :eek:
