I don't think suicide has been ruled out yet.
So have they found whoever killed this guy?
I don't think suicide has been ruled out yet.
Yep....it's definitely suicide..
San Francisco GateThe only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something."
Two people briefed on the investigation said various details of Weaver's account matched the details of the crime scene....
Authorities have said a preliminary cause of death was asphyxiation, pending a full medical examination. According to a Kentucky State Police statement, the body was hanging from a tree with a rope around the neck, yet it was in contact with the ground.
"And they even had duct tape around his neck," Weaver said. "And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder."
...He could see writing on Sparkman's chest, but could not read that it said "fed."
Authorities have said the word was scrawled with a felt-tip pen.
So it may not be suicide. How is it terrorism?
And how can anything be certain about the political orientation of the killer?
The pro-life protester that got shot and killed. Is that terrorism?
^the abortion doctor?
US Man Killed For Holding Pro-Life Sign
OWOSSO, Michigan, SEPT. 14, 2009 (Zenit.org).- James Pouillon, 63, was shot and killed Friday while holding a pro-life sign near a high school in his hometown of Owosso.
Pouillon, an elderly man who breathed with the aid of an oxygen machine, was known locally for his pro-life demonstrations.
He was shot several times by a man in a passing vehicle.
Later, police charged 33-year-old Harlan Drake with the murder of this man, as well as that of another person in a different part of the city a few hours later.
The police said that Drake had a hit list, which included a third person he intended to kill that day.
Associated Press reported that the killer shot Pouillon because he was irritated by the pro-life demonstrations.
Father Frank Pavone, director of Priests for Life, stated on his blog that "this is a time to console one another, and to renew our determination to organize peaceful protests."
He added: "It is no time for fear.
"And I am waiting to hear the abortion advocates condemn this killing."
LOL, individuals are responsible for their own actions.
I don't give a about some Kentucky fried assholes.
Mmm. Mmm. Mmmm

This thread is going places
0.0000033% of right-wing people caused "terrorist attacks" in the last few months.
So 99.9999967% of right wingers did not domestic "terrorism" in the last few months.
You're pretty re ed if you actually insist the right is more crazy than the left. Perhaps you consider millionths of a percentage point significant in differentiating things.
Also, there are about 259,000 psychopathic males in each political party. Given that psychopaths feel no remorse or emotion or conscience or anything remotely normal, I would claim there is good potential for any party to do something whacko.
If you are going to make re ed arguments, at least back it up with numbers. 90% of murderers/terrorists/rapists are male. Let's make a new thread and label all men as evil. Clearly only women are fit to lead this country.
was there another killing i didn't hear about?
Nooooooooo, I wasted my deep deep shame for naught!!!
Lol
Owned. These type of threads where one side feigns out rage because the other side isn't feigning out rage are fairly stupid.
I am deeply ashamed of this man's act of terrorism upon himself.
Just went back and read the entire thread..........every post from balli made me LOL at him.

There should be a book of balliisms.
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- On the surface it all seemed like a gruesome hate crime in a rural part of Kentucky with a history of disdain for the government: a census worker found bound with duct tape and hanging from a tree, the word "fed" scrawled across his chest.
But investigators noticed the foot-tall letters scrawled in black felt-tip pen looked like they could have been written by the victim himself, and they soon found out that he believed he had cancer, had two insurance policies worth $600,000, and had an adult son in need of money.
Investigators said Tuesday what they had been hinting at for weeks, that Bill Sparkman's hanging was a ruse to mask his suicide for a big insurance payout.
The key clue was the lack of defense wounds - the only visible marks on his body were a furrow around his neck and insect bites.
"Underneath the tape there was no trauma, and that's what I always want to look for," said Dr. Cristin Rolf, deputy state medical examiner. "If there is ever a homicide, a healthy person would put up a good fight and you would see injury and trauma to the neck and to the arms."
On Sept. 12, the Kentucky resident drove his Chevy pickup - packed with a rope, a roll of duct tape and some red rags - deep into the Kentucky woods, where outsiders are mostly treated with distrust and apprehension. He stripped down to his socks and walked to a nearby cemetery.
He taped his ankles and wrists, but his wrists were bound so loosely that he had considerable mobility, leaving investigators to believe he could have done the taping himself, authorities said. He scrawled the word "fed" upside down on his chest, taped his Census Bureau ID to his head, stuck a red cloth into his mouth and placed another piece of tape over it.
Sparkman then strung a rope from a tree, placed a noose around his neck, and leaned forward, using his own body weight to cut off oxygen to his brain, investigators said.
He likely became lightheaded from lack of oxygen, then lost consciousness. "It would not be an excruciating death," said Mike Wilder, executive director of the state medical examiner's office.
Sparkman was found touching the ground, almost at his knees, and the man who discovered him was convinced Sparkman had been killed.
"To survive, all Mr. Sparkman had to do at any time was stand up," said Kentucky State Police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski.
No drugs or alcohol were found in his system. No one else was involved in Sparkman's suicide, Rudzinski said, ending their investigation.
=============================
Hmmmmm - the guy commits suicide and makes it look like a hate crime and all you libs fell for it hook, line and sinker. How about some apologies to us "right-wing nutjobs"?
They are so predictable, aren't they...
you should be ashamed of yourself for seeing a man's death as nothing more than an opportunity to cheap-shot the political party that you hate, and with a total disregard for the facts surrounding the matter.
i'm sickened by the lack of integrity shown by some of the posters in this forum.
