good article and story. such a tragedy. things have only gotten worse since Webb's death. while he may have committed suicide, i'm sure the circumstances were prodded in every way.
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡
Uh huh. Hell of a thing. You noticed that too, eh?
Gar Webb - drug trafficing 41 and 42
A third self inflicted wound to the HEAD and I would have to really wonder if this was a 'suicide'.../s
my first thought was that he was suicided.
And for the police, coronor, and national news media to instantly jump to "he committed suicide" explanation shows how joined at the hip they all are, and how corrupt they've all become.
Shot himself twice in the head.... Hell of a thing. You noticed that too, eh? Typical Arkansas suicide. Happens here all of the time.
"A third self inflicted wound to the HEAD and I would have to really wonder if this was a 'suicide'.../s " The chains and concrete block on him when they pulled him out of the river were also perfectly normal.
like the guy that was arkancided with several shots in the back ?
Good article. However, IMHO there is no such thing as a right wing or left wing press. There is only a government propaganda organ that makes Pravda and Tass look like 3rd grade science projects by comparison.
"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." ~ William Colby, Director, CIA 1973–1976 The purpose of the legal system is to protect the elites from the wrath of those they plunder.- Elliott Jackalope "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it." - Frederic Bastiat
Well at least he didn't slash himself 11 times on the forearms, cut his own throat twice near the jugular vein, handcuff himself, tie a rope around his neck, drag himself across some muddy grass for a mile, then shoot himself, such as what happened with Officer Terry Yeakey And then there's the "suicide" of reporter Danny Casolaro
Now THAT'S a little bit suspicious! But I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. Seriously, we had a close encounter with "arkancide" with a lawyer friend of ours who was helping us here during the WW days. Two .22 bullets in the head.
The fifth anniversary of Webb’s death should be a moment for reflection, too, by progressives and independent-minded Americans that it is long past time to build media institutions that can support brave journalists who dare to tell difficult truths

Webb then took out his father’s pistol and shot himself in the head. The first shot was not lethal, so he fired once more.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
