local dying state mouthpiece speaks in code:
An unexpected result for some census takers: the wrath of irate Americans
This is the scary season for the nation’s census takers.
Since they began making follow-up house calls in early May, census takers have encountered vitriol, menace and flashes of violence. They have been shot at with pellet guns and hit by baseball bats. They have been confronted with pickaxes, crossbows and hammers. They’ve had lawn mowers pushed menacingly toward them and patio tables thrown their way. They have been nibbled by ducks, bitten by pit bulls and chased by packs of snarling dogs.
Some days, being cursed at seems part of the job description.
So far, the Census Bureau has tallied 379 incidents involving assaults or threats on the nation’s 635,000 census workers, more than double the 181 recorded during the 2000 census. Weapons were used or threatened in a third of the cases. [...]
no, weapons were used or threatened in 100% of the cases. however, all subjects of the state are to genuflect and ignore the obvious — that every edict from an official crime gang threatens the use of weapons. it so thoroughly pervades human interaction that we’re supposed to throw it out as part of any equation. a given.
spoke a psycho-parasite:
[...] "I was stunned, I really was, that America is so mad at the government," said [Sherri] Chesney, who no longer works for the census. "People don’t know what it’s like out there. It’s scary and dangerous, and it’s not worth my life." [...]
awww, the threatener was threatened. and she was just “doing her job” too (i.e., threatening/thieving).
[...] "It’s not that people are waiting to gun down a government worker or waiting to assault a census worker," [Dallas regional director Gabriel Sanchez] said. "Some people have a strong need for privacy and being left alone. I’m sure they would treat the FedEx man the same way." [...]
when FedEx asserts a divine right to be on my property*, point me to that assertion. big finish from the hurt psychopath:
[...] Chesney, for one, won’t be back for another census unless she’s offered an office position.
"I want to help my country," she said. "I want us to have funding for schools, and all the things that are involved with the census. But I’m not putting my life at risk."
office position! hooligans by proxy.
* “Police have been dispatched after confrontations between census takers and property owners who posted No Trespassing signs. As federal government employees, the census takers are not breaking the law by disregarding the signs.”
