It was perfectly intuitive; people just tend to weigh the facts with different emphasis. Insurance fraud and suicide are far from unheard of. If I were going to fake my murder, I would use a misdirected setup just like this guy did. Occam's razor still serves. The idea that a small group (one or more) of right-wingers conspired to kill a part-time census worker is what is hard to believe. The means was obvious, the motive was suspect, and the opportunity was frankly unlikely. Honestly there are better targets to make an anti-fed statement.Apology or not, you made an inference. It was not obvious or evident or any somesuch, because political thinking guided your inference, not fact. Personally I don't think you need to apologize either; just learn and move on.

Hmm. If wrong, I will say so. But I have trouble understanding how a man can commit suicide with his hands duct taped. Or more importantly, WHY he would. I need more info.

Digg is filled with idiots. Morons are burying you for posting a video with PROOF THAT BINDING YOUR OWN WRISTS WITH DUCT TAPE IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE, the exact thing the parent comment claims is *not* possible. Please, whoever you people are, don't breed.

The dead man's hands were tied or duct taped behind his back.That is not common in a suicide, it it?They were tied a little loose, though.

So basically, the facts are:1. He killed himself.2. He did it for the insurance money.3. He wanted it to look like murder because life insurance policies do not pay out for suicides.4. He framed the fringe that was rallying up animosity against census workers.Morale: be careful what you ask for, it might give you itself, and that is not as fun as someone taking it.
