In an editorial posted on its website Sunday night, Sarah's Palin's hometown newspaper in Wasilla, Alaska, warned author and journalist Joe McGinniss (who has moved next door to Palin as he conducts research for a book on the former governor) about a state law that allows the use of deadly force to defend one's property.
The editorial, titled "Wasilla fence fascinating for national media outlets," paints a disparaging portrait both of McGinniss' work and the national media's coverage of his controversial decision to take up temporary residence so close to Palin.
Its concluding sentence reads, "Finally, those who are fond of Joe McGinnis [sic] might remind him (if he doesn't already know) that Alaska has a law that allows the use of deadly force in protection of life and property."
Managing editor Tom Mitchell, who wrote the editorial, said that it was vetted by the Frontiersman's publisher, Kari Sleight, and a reporter at the newspaper.
"I didn't see it as being controversial. It's just a statement of fact," Mitchell told CBS News.

On Saturday, McGinniss told his side of the story to the Washington Post, emphasizing that he respected Palin's privacy and was not interested in spying on her children, as Palin had suggested he was.
Look, this is a pain in the ass for them," he told the Post. "I understand that. If I were her, I'd be upset. I'd be annoyed. But I'd be an adult about it, and I would figure out, okay, how can we resolve this in a way that's not going to make this into something that everybody gets obsessive about?
"By being here, I have learned things, and I've gotten an insight into her character, into her ability to incite hatred, that before I only knew about in the abstract."(continued)

There is not a whole lot of reasons to stay in Wasilla right now for the Palins, june is the month for fishing.
And with daylight 22 hours a day right now we do a lot of recreational stuff while we can.
I rode my motorcycle for all day sunday traveling to Independence Mine up near Hatcher Pass and then on up the Parks Hiway to Willow. Awesome mid 70’s days with clear skies right now, too many things to do in so little time.
I pretty much suspect most of the locals around here are counter harassing this guy, its a small town, everybody knows everybody.
The woman has yet to provide proof or to even come forward to be questioned about her “allegations.”
Thank you for the information!
At least now, we have her name.
Isn’t this Cindy Sheehan redux?
Espeacilly with the remainder from the article about his last book on AK.
“Local press wasn’t too kindly to it at the time, saying he missed a lot and exaggerated the rest.”
These people are disgusting.
Well then take that as a warning Mr McGinniss!

I'll bet that's right. If I was Todd Palin, I think I would sell my house to some bunch of Animal House frat types and move to another location. Let this idiot writer chew on that for a few weeks. TOGA TOGA TOGA!
There. Fixed it.
She threatens the delusional cloud they work so hard to keep themselves enveloped in; it's that simple. Look at the fear and rage and hatred in Mcginnis’s characterization of Palin
I believe Transactional Analysis calls this the "see what you made me do" phenomenon.
My gut tells me this person will have an accident or something where he will end up gone.....
maybe the neighbors will help....I know I would help her if it was my town.....I wouldn’t allow a scumbag asshole to harass her....and the cops should be assisting her...this is clearly harassment
Dear Sarah,
Rent your house out to some nice Muslim Men between the age of 18 and 30, tell them that a big shot hollywood infidel lives next door, get some popcorn.
You're going to need a stronger case than that. Other than renting the place next door (which isn't harassment) , what acts of harassment do plan on showing to the judge in order to get a warrant?
Not anymore. Todd and his friends built a 15 foot high privacy fence to make sure.
Shown the door for what? I find this fascinating, the guy is called a pervert with regularity without a shred of proof. From what I can gather, he isn’t guilty of anything near so criminal as half the suggestions in this thread on what to do to the guy.
Yeah, that’s the conservative approach. Good God, you people are dragging FR down to depths that I could have never imagined. Sickening.
No, it's a free country. You can rent or buy a house from anyone who's willing to buy or sell to you. In the case of the latter, the seller is pretty much obligated to sell to the first person who shows up with the asking price.
What is wrong with an eye for an eye? Give it back to him.
