When news broke of the death of Bill Sparkman, a census worker in Kentucky, lefties speculated that he was murdered by right wing zealots. Most conservatives aren’t violent, and wouldn’t dream of killing another human being to make a point. I figured there has to be another explanation, and perhaps there is. According to World Net Daily’s Roger Hedgecock, the locals believe Sparkman lost his life due to our open borders.
Last week, Sparkman’s death became fodder for more attacks on “right-wing violence.” Bloggers wanted to “send the body to Glenn Beck,” and a Time magazine piece speculated that Sparkman was a victim of the culture of another McCain-voting Southern state
Now it looks more like Sparkman was yet another victim of illegal drug operations on national forest land, and possibly also a victim of our still open border with Mexico.
Taking the Census in our national forests is dangerous business. Law enforcement sources say meth labs and marijuana plantations are “prevalent” in the area of Sparkman’s death. Did he stumble across a drug operation in the Daniel Boone National Forest? No one is saying for sure, but the locals believe it.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Mexican drug gangs operate marijuana plantations in 61 national forests in 16 states, up from three forests in one state (California) 15 years ago. California has suffered the impacts.
August’s devastating wildfire in the Los Padres National Forest, which burned homes in Santa Barbara, turned 88,000 acres into ash. Law enforcement officials say it was probably caused by open cooking fires in one of the extensive pot farms run by Mexican drug gangs that were common in that forest.
Mr. Hedgecock goes on to report on the devastation caused by the Mexican illegal meth labs and marijuana farms. He also wonders why all the environmental groups remain silent on the destruction the Mexican drug gangs inflict on our national forests. That’s a good question.
The theory that Mr. Sparkman died at the hands of a drug gang is far more plausible than those being floated by the left.
I think the cause and manner of death would be of interest in this matter. Hanging doesn’t sound like the usual modus operandus of the perps you mention.
