This is one of those stories that often never makes it to the Front Page of any newspaper or website. It’s a story about Property Rights and Eminent domain, it’s the story of one man who tried to fight back, and sadly it’s the story of a man who lost it all in the process. It’s also a story that can happen to anyone who is reading this article.
The story begins back in 2009 when Andrew Wordes, otherwise known as the Roswell Chicken Man, began his fight to raise chickens on his property. In February 2009, the city of Roswell, GA started to cite Andrew Wordes for raising livestock in his backyard. Wordes, who had started raising chickens on his .97-acre homestead in 2005, decided to fight back. And guess what he Won.
But sadly that’s when the real trouble started….
Government gone wild!
ReplyDeleteThey harassed him with cops, they harassed him with bureaucracy.
They harassed him with mortgage fraud forcing his lien holder to sell at 40 cents on the dollar, then they forclosed.
Government does not like to loose cases time after time.
The only thing he did wrong was not to take out the politicians responsible for orchestrating the harassment, and the local police, and the marshals and everyone guilty of government intimidation.
And I bet the citizens are just mortified at what they allowed happen. But no one will do or say a thing. sheep.
