You don't wanna go back THEY-AH, Lewis. Micmac Indian spirits back THEY-ah.
Just as I figured. Silver is a sociology professor at the local college and a very well known lefty activist in eastern Kentucky.
Love how the media refers to rural communists as “scholars”

“My first guess is that it was a suicide, and the guy wanted to make sure his family got the insurance money. Most Life Insurance does not pay suicide claims.”
It’s usually quite obvious when a hanging is suicide or murder. There is a chair under the victim or his legs are almost in contact with the ground. Most life insurance policies do pay for suicide unless it happens within the first year or so of the policy.

Is it possible somebody thought he was from ACORN? After all, until last week, we were all hearing that ACORN would be involved in the census.

Suicide Not Ruled Out For Dead Census Worker; He Was In Contact With The Ground
I’ve got some more detail for you on the case of the Bill Sparkman, the U.S. census worker who was found dead of hanging, reportedly with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest:
1) Kentucky state police have not ruled out the possibility that the death was a suicide or even that it was accidental, according to police spokesman Don Trosper.
2) His death has been ruled “asphyxia,” Trosper said in an interview. “There was a rope around his neck. It was attached to a tree,” Trosper continued, adding this intriguing detail: “He was in contact with the ground.”
That raises the possibilty that the cause of death was not hanging. Asked if this were possible, Trosper said: “Nothing is being ruled out.”
3) Trosper said the initial AP story on the death contains “flaws and errors.” That means it’s possible that the AP’s claim, based on an anonymous source, that he had the word “fed” scrawled on his chest could be false. Asked if that were the case, Trosper declined to comment.
So that’s where we are. Much more from Zachary Roth in his very useful rundown on where the case stands.
Partially right. Meth is big here, too.
They haven’t said where this person was killed, just where he was found. The booby trap thing is getting to be pase’. Most now are some sort of sound warning devices that can alert the growers. Also, KY follows CA and TN in pot production, but that which is grown in Appalachia (TN and KY), is the “best”.
While those in Appalachia love their privacy, census people are much more apt to be invited in for a cup of coffee than killed. What with all the choppers in the air and people cruising the mountains armed in humvees, growers are more than likely going to be even more hospitable than their neighbors.
