William E. Sparkman Jr. was a 51-year-old single father who once battled Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma while he pursued his teaching degree, according to a March 2008 article profiling the London, Kentucky man.
Sparkman worked two jobs while he earned his degree and was treated for cancer.
Sparkman, a census bureau worker and substitute teacher was found dead Sunday, Sept. 13. The word “Fed” was scrawled on his body, according to a law enforcement source.
Quick notes about this:
a) I checked the chatter and I’m like 95% sure this was done by a member or members of a white power militia. That is kind of a ‘no brainer’ but it’s worth spelling out. Furthermore there’s been a SIGNIFICANT amount of chatter about census workers lately on hard right Patriot / militia sites about how the government is taking GPS locations of your house, which is true, but which has resulted in a LOT of talking about how they’re going to take your location and throw you in a FEMA camp.
b) The guy who died was a cancer survivor turned teacher who had been profiled in a KY paper and basically seemed like he would make Jesus look like a jerk.
c) Can’t find any group that’s taken credit for this which is no surprise. I’m personally betting it was a member of either the Appalacian Knights of the KKK or the ASWP branch in Baxter, KY, which is just outside of the national forest. But we’ll see.
