Well, he wore a knit cap because he was bald from chemo, so I suppose he could have lost his skin pigmentation as well.  You're right, he's black.

I guess the issue is whether he was actually murdered by anti-federal rednecks, or murdered by someone who wanted to make people think so.

LOL I caught it too. Btw, I'm not familiar with American names enough to determine if the guy's name sounds black. Does it?

Bill Sparkman is perhaps THE most common African American name.

QuoteWASHINGTON – A U.S. Census worker found hanging from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had 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.

Those Feds are smart.  :rolleyes:

They are jumping to conclusions.  All the clue shows is that the killer made sure the victim got a last meal.

It would have been cooler if they wrote:

COT
FED
KILT

on his chest, though. :)

I was confused by that wrong-doing bit, but apparently he wasn't lynched - as in he wasn't strung up.  That's why they're not sure if it was a case of wrong-doing as it could have been suicide.

You mean he hung himself after he killed himself? :huh:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Guys, something that law enforcement (including Crown prosecutors) have had drilled into our heads over the last 10+ years is to not jump to any conclusions and to wait until all the evidence is in.  Also not to make public pronouncements until it is clear what has happened.

Remember what happened to poor Richard Jewell as an example of jumping to conclusions too early in an investigation.

The police, if they're smart, are certainly investigating this as a anti-government crime, but are looking at all other possibilities as well.

All evidence.  Doing that would mean you would never get an arrest.

Because of people jumping to conclusions, Richard Jewell ceased to be poor.

Then he died.
