There are places on this planet, from Cabrini Green to Copperhead Road, where it's not the wisest thing to approach strangers and ask them questions about their career, source of household income, and suchlike.
Also, it seems that the initial AP report may be short on some key details and a bit, er, speculative on others.

I think I googled along the same path last night. I mean, why isn't this all over the media? It bleeds, so it should lead. It's a lynching in the south. There's the black helicopter, bitter clinger, militia wack angle all ready for Contessa Brewer to distort.

I didn't even think that he might be, um, artistic.

Enjoy.
Also, a quote from the "bradblog" link: "We need to find them, take their guns, arrest them and put them in Hospitals for the mentally retarded."
So... you desire to fight the American Taliban? Riiight. Hillbillies are so tough that not even progress can beat them.
Silly. It's Revnooor. Us hoosiers will educate y'all yet.
