Police: N. Idaho man fired gun near census worker

http://www.localnews8.com/Global/story.asp?S=12289648

ST. MARIES, Idaho (AP) - A northern Idaho man who police say fired his shotgun near a U.S. census worker who was trying to deliver a census form has been cited for exhibition of a deadly weapon, a misdemeanor.

Fifty-4-year-old Richard L. Powell of St. Maries faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The Benewah County Prosecutor's office says that on March 3 Powell told the census worker to get off his property and then fired a shotgun into the air.

Powell's pretrial conference is scheduled for April 26 at the Benewah County Courthouse.

5. Arrest Michelle Bachmann for inciting violence.

I'm serious. She's telling people the government is their enemy.

She should at least be removed from the House of Representatives for declaring that her colleagues are "the enemy". :wtf:

6. "Fifty-4-year-old..."!? That has to be the most screwed up construction

I've ever seen in a news article.

This guy's an asshole, but I suspect he's the next Joe the Plumber among the teabagger ilk...

7. sounds like par for the course for northern Idaho.

Isn't that the neo-Nazi/survivalist center of the nation?
