Since Breitbart is now damn near unreadable with all the pop ups, it is really hard to know the who, what, where, why and how of this story.
So off to Google to find a clearer source.

Interesting, he says poverty is violence because it causes malnutrition. America has the fattest poor people in the world. Their malnutrition is caused by self-selected foods consumed in mass (EBT) quantities. It never ceases to amaze me that at the entrance to our local Walmart frequently stands one of the most morbidly obese women I have ever seen. She holds a sign reading, -Hungry. Please help.-

This man-s rhetoric reads like communist propaganda from 1930.

Who writes this tripe? He wasn't facing foreclosure if an eviction was taking place. You might say he had faced foreclosure, but if eviction was taking place, title to the property had changed via a completed, i.e, past tense, foreclosure. The new owner, be it a lender or a purchaser at foreclosure auction, was evicting him based on their ownership and right to dispossess. My God, we have gone through a a mortgage meltdown and foreclosure crisis from 2007 until just recently and alleged journalists haven't even learned the basics of the phenomenon that has been right in front of them, repeated tens of thousands of times for more than 8 years. Ay carrumba!

More info here

"A website by a group called the Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition includes undated posts that called for supporters to join Wirth in “non-violent eviction resistance.” The website includes a video of a man identified as Wirth railing against mortgage companies as criminals."

Yeah. I love Breitbart but they gotta do something about all the scripting on their page. The site is almost unusable. It crashes my browser about 20% of the time now.

And I don’t want to hear about how they can’t afford to eat healthy. I see bags of pre-mixed salad veg in the grocery store for one dollar, in a size that would serve two normal appetites, or one really hungry. A bottle of dress g, if you can’t make your own, is cheap enough, and a small amount of chicken from the deli will procide protein.

A pot of beans, with or without a meat seasoning, is cheap and nutritious, and a crock pot costs much less than one appointment to get your nails and hair did.

Yes, the remaineder of the 8-person police force did succeed in snuffing-out his candle.

Funny, the suspect Wirth was AGAINST the Death Penalty.
So why then did He shoot to kill?

I know it’s off topic, but she probably is hungry. Carbs do that to you.

butterbobbriggs has a video where he says “don’t let your belly steal your breakfast”

Use AdBlocker.

Installs in a minute or so.

It’s free.

You’ll be able to read Breitbart easily.

Fox31 in Denver story says, the SOB was killed. I do not know at this time if he shot himself or if he was shot by Law Enforcement.
Either way, Good riddance.

R. I. P. Deputy Martin Wirth
