I saw a Honda Civic get repo’d yesterday in the Best Buy parking lot...dudes had tshirts labeled “RECOVERY AGENT” and one guy was packing heat...which I am pretty sure is illegal in Los Angeles, unless he had permission from the mall owner (which I doubt)

"Someone with the inside scoop on ACORN?"

More likely someone taken for a "Revenuer" in Pot/Moonshine country. That is not a good place for a stranger to ask personal questions.

I can only imagine. These people are nuts - and it’s not like they don’t have adequate warning about what the bank is going to do if they don’t get their money.

My 17 year old son and I caught a couple of episodes of Op. Repo one night while we were vegging out. He said “Man! If those people came after my car, I’d let ‘em have it! I’d even drive it there for them, or run it through the carwash first if they wanted me to!”

Ky is a major transhipment location.

Excellent Interstate system both North/South and East/West.

Yep, odds are he stumbled on a pot operation.

Even down this way there's a lot of this in NGA -- also in the national forests. Law enforcement there is spotty, the sheriff has enough to tend to where people actually LIVE. And they don't go up there unless they go in force.

This poor fellow was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Probably, but I’m happier that she quit, it didn’t seem safe or prudent to have a pretty blonde approaching strangers in the boonies

From reports I've been hearing, Census Takers have been asking entirely too many questions of normal, everyday Americans. There's no way I'd go back into the hills of Appalachia and ask anybody anything!!!

I feel sorry for him (more so for his family) but in point of fact, he was taking Census Information for the Federal Government in an area that has been, for centuries, a "very private" place. As Forrest Gump would say, "Stupid is as Stupid Does"...

They spend far too much time going after pot when they could be going after murderers, and thieves. The best way to kill organized crime is to end the drug war. Legalize it, make the age 18 and tax it, jobs could be created growing it and selling it. We could have businesses instead of murderous dealers sell it and card for it. Hemp also makes sturdier clothing material than cotton and hemp oil can be used as a source of energy. It could also compete with BigPharma and through competition bring prices down by offering an alternative. Pot is no different than alcohol in moderation.

Understood.As this case shows it is not really wise for anyone to be approaching strangers in the boonies.

I wonder why they don't have them working in pairs? It would be safer.

That’s really backwoods country. Probably someone that lives way back in the sticks and is anti-government.

That doesn’t make sense to me. If they did it because he stumbled upon their pot, why would they hang him and write Fed on his chest? You would think they would get rid of all of the evidence. This just draws massive attention to that area which makes me think it has nothing to do with that. I think it’s an anti government act and they wanted to make sure he was found and they got the message.

Prayers for the deceased. I sure wouldn’t want to be a census man in Appalachia.

Neither would I but the same goes for Harlem or Liberty City in Miami.
