"W.Va. sheriff killed on lunch break" by John Raby and Vicki Smith | Associated Press, April 04, 2013
WILLIAMSON, W.Va. — A new sheriff who was cracking down on the drug trade in southern West Virginia’s coalfields was fatally shot Wednesday in the spot where he usually parked his car for lunch, and State Police said the suspect was in a hospital with gunshot wounds inflicted by a deputy who chased him.
Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum was elected last year and had just taken office in January, but he had already helped indict dozens of suspected drug dealers through the county’s new Operation Zero Tolerance.
It’s unclear whether that crusade was related to his death, but residents and county officials suspect as much....
Though there is no indication of any connection, Crum’s killing comes on the heels of a Texas district attorney and his wife being shot to death in their home over the weekend, and just weeks after Colorado’s corrections director also was gunned down at his home.
But they make one anyway.
State, federal, and local authorities have all tried to crack down on West Virginia’s drug problem, which centers on the illegal sale of prescription drugs in the southern counties. Mingo County is in the southwest corner of West Virginia, on the border with Kentucky.
Say what?

"Father says accused gunman is mentally ill" by John Raby and Vicki Smith | Associated Press, April 05, 2013
WILLIAMSON, W.Va. — The man suspected of killing a West Virginia sheriff as he ate lunch in his car was mentally disturbed and had no particular vendetta against law enforcement, his father said Thursday.
Melvin Maynard said his 37-year-old son, Tennis Melvin Maynard, was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. He most likely did not target Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, he said.

If you follow the links far enough you will see they poisoned Dykes, too.
‘‘He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I’m saying?’’ the elder Maynard said.
‘‘I know he was off. I know he should have been in a hospital,’’ the father said, adding that his son had previously been in an institution. He refused to elaborate, saying only that ‘‘the same problem was eating him again.’’
Friends say Crum was shot to death in the spot where he parked most days, keeping an eye on a place that had been shut down for illegally dispensing prescription drugs to be sure it didn’t reopen....
The question is, was the kid on the mind-bending s***?

About those other shootings:
"Investigators search for links in three killings; Colo. governor orders audit of sentence records" by Erica Goode and Dan Frosch | New York Times, April 05, 2013
NEW YORK — Investigators are still trying to sort out whether the fatal shooting of a Kaufman County prosecutor in January was in fact a gang-ordered hit or the act of a lone gunman, whose years in solitary confinement may have nurtured paranoia and hatred of prison officials.
And they let him out early because of an error in paperwork? This is stinking like a psy-op more and more every day. The use of the term lone gunman kinda gives it away at this point.
So who would want to go around the country killing public officials and reinforcing the gun control agenda? For which intelligence agency are hit teams working?
James F. Austin, a consultant who helped Tom Clements in efforts to make significant changes in Colorado’s prisons, including reducing the use of solitary confinement, said it was unprecedented for a prison gang to take aim at a public official.
And one who was trying to make their lives a little less unbearable at that.
This whole white supremacist angle is starting to stink like an agenda-pushing cover story, with the domestic "terrorist" threat being advanced in this case.
I have to be honest with you, readers. I'm getting sick of reading tis s***.
‘’This has just never happened before in the history of corrections,’’ Austin said. ‘‘What would be the value of the gang doing that, except to bring incredible heat both on and off the street?’’
He's posing the same question I always do: cui bono?
He added that the gangs ‘‘like to do their thing without much attention, especially with a director who is doing everything he could to make the prison safer and more comfortable.’’
You know, after a while my explanation looks like the truth and the onus is now on the authorities to prove otherwise.
Austin said that the man suspected of shooting Clements, Evan S. Ebel, whom he described as kind of a lone wolf, had been released directly to the streets after spending almost six years in solitary confinement. Clements had been trying to introduce transitional programs for inmates who had been held in isolation for long periods.
WTF? Out of the frying pan and into the fire? And that lone wolf bit. That means anyone could be a"terrorist."
But law enforcement officials said Thursday that they could not rule out the possibility that Ebel — who died after he was injured in a shootout and a chase with Texas police officers and sheriff’s deputies northwest of Dallas on March 21 — was acting on orders from the leaders of the 211 Crew....
This is getting tiresome.
According to prison records, Ebel fought with other inmates in prison and smeared feces on cell doors. In one instance, he assaulted a guard, threatening to kill him and his family.
And yet he was let right out on to the streets.
In another, he threatened to kill a female corrections officer, telling her he would ‘‘kill her if he ever saw her on the streets and that he would make her beg for her life.’’
And that's were they dumped him. It's almost as if they let this guy out so he could be a patsy.
Ebel’s father, Jack, an oil and gas lawyer in Denver and a friend of Hickenlooper’s, testified at a 2011 hearing on solitary confinement before the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee that his son had suffered mentally in the years he had spent in solitary confinement.
‘‘He has a high level of paranoia; he’s extremely anxious,’’ Jack Ebel said of his son.
Was he on pharmaceuticals?
Clements had embarked on an ambitious program to change solitary confinement policies, reducing the number of inmates sent to isolation and putting programs in place to reduce recidivism once prisoners were released.
So why would prisoners want to kill him?
