More than likely he found a patch or a meth facility in which he intended to report or make authorities aware of. I don't believe it has anything to do with Obama as President, or anti-government sentiment.

It’s almost like there’s a bunch of criminals living there.<br /><br />//End sarcasm<br /><br />You reap what you sow. Not Sparkman himself, of course. What happened to him was tragic.
