The Liberal Gun Club Forum

DENVER - The man suspected of shooting three Park County Sheriff's Office deputies wrote on Facebook just last month that "I am a high value target" and "cops want me dead."

Martin Wirth titled a Facebook post last month, "Cops draw guns on former Senate candidate for attempting to purchase car insurance."

Wirth had run for office in 2014.

Wirth admitted in the post that his driver's license had been revoked because he refused to pay for a speeding ticket. That wasn't the only thing he refused to pay. He refused to pay his mortgage.

Wirth fighting foreclosure for years

Investigators said Wirth was shot and killed after he opened fire on three deputies serving an eviction notice. Wirth had been fighting his foreclosure for years.

The Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition website says Martin Wirth was an "invaluable part of Occupy Denver from the early days" and has been "fighting a valiant battle in court over his property."

Now, this is a horribly written article for a number of reasons:

Seems to me if he were "refusing" to pay his mortgage, he wouldn't have been "fighting his foreclosure" or "fighting a valiant battle in court."

Don't like that police are used as agents of the banks/corporations. Don't like that people died as a result of this eviction. Tragedy all around.
