Sounds like a fucking nutcase. I say throw him into the chair and be done with it, if the full story's been given it's evident this guy is a worthless human being, a parasite wasting our resources.

"We the people are a majority," Bixby wrote. "The laws were made to protect us from the police."
I would have to know whether or not they were being fairly compensated for their property. I also don't know if they took every reasonable step before opening fire.

Assuming those things, I'd have to say my heritage says " fucking right on you red neck bastards. "
The seizing of public property for commercial use would better justify this sort of response.

I think this is more the case of a religious, anti-government fanatic who decided to use his gun to make a political point.


Sad. Condolences to the families.

it's called eminent domain.  the government can expropriate your property any time they like.  and if you're lucky, they'll offer a fair market value.  I understand being pissed off, but you just don't shoot cops,  it's a little rule we all have to follow.

Yeah, this apparently happened about an hour from me. I think the guy doesn't know that use of force to protect ones home and family is only valid inside the house and only under threat. I seriously doubt that the two officers were going to shoot them if they didn't allow the land to be used. Whats more, in most of south carolina, the counties already have a 5 to 10 foot right of way starting at the edge of every public road. In my opinion, these were two nutcases, and his momma as well.


  Oh, and Turquoise,  Dont go generalizing the population of S. Carolina. There happen to be a bunch of liberals moving in from up north and the whole state is starting to head down shit creek with out a paddle.

Throw the nutcases in the maximum security facility and... MELT THE GODDAMN KEYS!!  Seriously, people like this are either that stupid, or that insane--possibly both, over a matter so trivial as right-of-way by the state.  Hell, I got a bit of a bind near my house--a sandpit they've been digging for years may get to within 50 to 100 feet of our house.  Of course, they got busted for digging somewhere they shouldn't have, so that reality may not come to pass, thank god.

Edit: making bright orange text might drive home my main point.

There is something very communist about eminent domain IMO. Remember just cause laws are written down doesn't mean that they are legal based off of the constitution.

Also even though they were police officers they where on his property with guns, his life was at risk. If he where to open the door and remove the Police from "his property" they police would open fire.. A cop is just a man with a gun, who has to make judgement calls about useing there gun..

But as ATG said we don't know enough of the story, if he was being compinstated for the land, if the 20 feet would bring the highway up to his back porch, or if it was 20 feet across 100 ackers of land which adds up?

Hey come on, don't blame it on the state. I'm from SC and I've turned out alright.  Albit I play video games, but I'm a decent enough fellow.  Got all my teeth, my family tree branches out not in, I was accepted into every four year college and university that I applied to, and am in the USMC reserves.  So don't flame the state.

As for all the liberals, this is why your welfare and social reform acts have failed.  You've failed to help the people who need it the most.  The south has the worst public education system around and yet they get no extra money to bring it up to par.  There are no reasons for the teachers to go to the rural communities, or even any communities at all to teach the children there.  It is a failure of the socialist project in America in my eyes.  I know calling it that is a little harsh but still, you say you are going to help the people but I lived there and if my mother and stepdad hadn't worked as hard as they did I wouldn't be where I am today.  It wasn't the government's money or help, in fact they were hurt more by the government then helped by it because of all the high taxes paying for people that mooch off the system.  /rant off

Didn't do him any good, did it. They still got the land.

A pity that cops sometimes don't follow their rules, and end up breaking into the wrong house and killing a guy on his sofa with a remote in his hand.

killing cops because you don't want a highway expanded? Send him to China or Iran, death would be too sweet an escape for this cocksucker. The fact that he even bothers to call himself a patriot proves hes insane. What about the other citizens who want a bigger highway? Seriously...China or Iran...

20 feet is worth 2 cops lives? Man you people have some fucking twisted views here. So because you don't like something you kill people over it. Sounds like a buncha jihadis...

you do have to give him some credit for his shooting ability.  it isn't like those cops didn't have guns, and they were probably drawn.  as sadistic as it sounds, downing two cops with guns drawn is quite a feat; in terms of shooting, that is.

Seems to me the article wants us to think he was insane. Lots of out of context crap about his letters, full of speculation and nothing about the case. Btw wouldn't it be better (for the dead at least) if he didn't have a gun?
