Census Worker Hanged
By truth on Sep 24, 2009 | In National | Send feedback »
What is going on with this country lately? We have people wearing guns to political meetings, especially ones where President Obama is in attendance. We have a Senator disrupting our President while he is giving a speech, Kanye grabbing the microphone, from Taylor Swift while she is giving a thank you speech for winning an award, and giving accolades to someone else. Now we have a hanging of a man who survived non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, was a single dad, worked two jobs - one being for the government as a census taker.
Bill Sparkman 51, was found hanging in Daniel Boone National Forest. Mr. Sparkman at the time was working in this rural section of Kentucky taking the census, and whether this is related to what he was doing or just a means to distract for the real reason, the word "fed" was found written on his chest.
There is speculation that the reason might not be political but that Mr. Sparkman happened upon one of many drug areas in the region and saw something that he shouldn't have. If this was the case it really could not have been one of the smartest moves a drug dealer could make, as a census workers is a federal employee and hence the FBI gets involved instead of the local police department.
I am not suggesting one way or the other, I actually have my own ideas but will not mention them here. I am only putting forth common commentary (what few there have been) of various news channels. Only time will tell us what happened and hopefully they catch who did this horrible thing.
