The last time I read about “freemen”, it was about Steven Bixby in Abbeville, SC.
He didn’t like that a previous owner of the property sold some Right-of-Way to the highway department. When they started to construct on it and he threatened the workers. A policeman knocked on the door, Bixby shot through the door and killed him. Then another one came and Bixby killed him also (with a rifle as he was getting out of the car). After every policeman within 50 miles showed up and started shooting into the house, the coward surrendered. He is now on death row.
The police had better be VERY careful about approaching these people. However, what was most unfortunate is that there were plenty of people here who defended Bixby. I have no doubt that some of the people here will defend these people if the shooting starts.
well, I won’t be one of the ones defending them. Because signs went up immediately, I have a feeling the squatters knew they were doing something wrong, other wise, why have any signs at all? I’ve never seen signs like the ones described anywhere up in the foothills, much less in the flatlands. I’m always worried that someone will squatt on my retirement properties and I’ll pay more than the land is worth trying to get them evicted off. Got no sympathies for squatters.
