Martin Wirth; Occupy Denver activist kills deputy
UpNorth sends us a link to the story of Occupy Denver activist, Martin Wirth, who shot three sheriff deputies trying to serve an eviction notice on him. Wirth was killed in the exchange of gunfire as well as Corporal Nate Carrigan, a 13-year veteran of law enforcement and a local high school coach. According to the Denver Post;
They were seeking to evict Martin Wirth, a 58-year-old Occupy Denver activist and former Green Party candidate for state Senate who had complained previously about law enforcement harassment.
Property records show Wirth defaulted on the property in 2013 and has been battling foreclosure and eviction.
It’s not clear if Wirth was shot by the police or took his own life.
From Fox News;
After Wirth lost a court battle over his foreclosure, he sued Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, the state attorney general and a judge in 2013. The federal lawsuit claimed that state foreclosure laws were unconstitutional and that Wirth and his unnamed guests were “in imminent danger of being wrongfully deprived of home and property while also being threatened with an armed and forcible entry onto the property and into the home.”
He asked a federal judge to block Park County from selling his home, evicting him or forcibly entering the house and to strike down several state laws. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last September.
You would have thought that a 58-year-old would have learned that he needed to pay his bills. Wirth said that because he’s run for office on the Green Party ticket, the government had made him a “high value target”, He was probably a HVT is his mind, but in the eyes of the government, he was a dead beat with a rifle.

Another Democrat with a gun
exactly ^^^^^^
According to the newspaper, the POS was on his porch but went inside as the deputies approached. They went in after him. Dammit. When you lose sight of a POS under that circumstance, it’s a no go on entering. You just don’t do it. I hate to see this but what’s done is done and there is no undoing it. I am very sorry for the loss of the deputy and the wounding of two others.
I agree. I would’ve escalated from there, instead of going straight in.
Who knows though? Maybe they figured that, as a greens party member and an ‘occupy’ wanker, he’d be more of a peace-nik, love and rainbows pacifist than an evilcold-blooded murderer.
Not to start a shit storm, but I don’t think arm chair quarterbacking the deputies without being there is appropriate. They used their best judgment and it turned bad. Fuck you Wirth, RIP deputy.
Fair call.
Rather difficult to get the opinion of the dead guy, but we can fairly well guess that he wishes he had done something other than what he did. He’d probably like for the folks who remained alive to use the situation as a training opportunity for others. Can’t really do that without dissecting the event, by people who were not there.
The left are bloodthirsty bastards. See how many people they have killed in all the countries they have taken over through the years for just politically disagreeing with them.
I also think that their hell bent drive to take away our guns is not only because it is easier that way to take away our freedoms, but also because they are self projecting that we will do what they want to do.
Never trust a lefty. They are all evil dictators at heart trying to force their utopia on us.
Its assholes like this that makes people think people with guns are dangerous.
bye asshole enjoy the bullets
no more free ride
and
rest well……..
to the deputy
Salute………
I say good riddance to the Bernath-like stank-ass deadbeat hippie but what mega-SUCKS about it is that an honest hardworking LEO lost his life while doing his job and earning an honest living, I hope that hippie gets perpetually sodomized by satan himself.
^^^^^ Like ^^^^^
X2.
Sodomized. . . with a pineapple. A large one. Fronds first.
Saddam’s replacement?
Um, perhaps that one needs a NSFW warning?
C’mon, folks – if you post something NSFW, please put a warning up with it. Some workplaces are pretty prudish.
“After Wirth lost a court battle over his foreclosure, he sued Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, the state attorney general and a judge in 2013.”
I was thinking the same thing. Quite the Bernathian move on his part. Fuck this guy for all eternity and fuck Crash and Bernath too. RIP Corporal Carrigan.
You can almost understand why he was so confused about the rules for occupying some places legally while occupying other places is illegal. Not really, but almost.
He was just an ordinary thug who expected others to pay for whatever he wanted. Whatever.
Good riddance. Too bad he had to take another with him as he played out his delusions to their only natural conclusion.
I really do hope that before too long, these people will be able to move to another planet. Then they can occupy whatever bird’s nest they want to, if the bird doesn’t eat them first.
One less freeloading hippie asshole in the world, at the cost of one of the good guys. Remember how many in the media liked to talk about how “peaceful” the occutards were?
Yep, and when did anyone ever hear hear about drugs, rape, vandalism, looting, theft, assaults or things like people defecating on police cars at Tea Party Rallies?
It’s not for want of trying. In Dever, of all places, Remember the Aurora theater shooter?

Yeah, right before he was outed as yet another whackjob ultra-leftist.
Let’s not forget that the left’s sniveling media lackeys also tried to say he was also an NRA Member which was proven to be false.
Too bad this worthless lowlife didn’t off himself first…
Agreed.
As it turned out, this guy’s willingness to make his mortgage payments on time apparently wasn’t Wirth a shit. What a wirthless bastard. My condolences to the family of the slain deputy, but as 217 A C pointed out……every LEO has to use some common sense when it comes to a person showing a propensity for violence. Even if it is a three against one situation, when the one has a weapon good judgment prevails. My regrets to the family of the LEO killed.
It’s what it is. Went left, shoulda gone right. The best of intentions gone bad.
I’m just happy to live in a country where people work their butts off to chase after fucktards like Wirth while my wife and kids sleep safely in their beds at night.
That’s all.
