Government Worker killed in nearby Concord
Lexington, April 19. 1775

Was anti-government anger behind the death of a Government worker found dead 
this morning?
At least one Government Worker was shot to death today.  He is said to have 
been looking for illegal firearms.
The Government suspended door-to-door interviews in the rural area while 
investigators tried to determine whether the death was a killing or a suicide, 
and if a killing, whether the motive was anti-government sentiment.

"This certainly seems like something committed by a person with an 
anti-government bone to pick," said Doug Mataconis in Below the Beltway. But 
there's no evidence yet to suggest that's true, so nobody should jump to 
conclusions.

"My immediate curiosity is whether this had something to do with an illegal 
weapon operation," said Robert Stacy McCain in The Other McCain, "rather than 
'anti-government sentiment.'" Gun dealers don't like to have people snooping 
around -- and that's what Government workers do. So wait before you swallow 
"any kind of politicized Let's-Blame-Glenn-Beck speculation."

The Crown Investigators will have to answer the question of whether 
"anti-government sentiment" had anything to do with the Government worker's 
death, said Shannon Bell in Right Pundits. "One can only hope that this 
isolated incident will not result in those who speak out against the government 
being lumped in with a killer."
