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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/news\/ci_29556652\/park-county-sheriffs-deputy-killed-two-others-wounded\">Denver Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Property records show Wirth defaulted on the property in 2013 and has been battling foreclosure and eviction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear if Wirth was shot by the police or took his own life.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2016\/02\/24\/sheriffs-deputy-killed-2-deputies-injured-in-colorado-shootout.html?intcmp=hplnws\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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 &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You would have thought that a 58-year-old would have learned that he needed to pay his bills. Wirth said that because he&#8217;s run for office on the Green Party ticket, the government had made him a &#8220;high value target&#8221;, He was probably a HVT is his mind, but in the eyes of the government, he was a dead beat with a rifle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UpNorth sends us a link to the story of Occupy Denver activist, Martin Wirth, who shot &hellip; <a title=\"Martin Wirth; Occupy Denver activist kills deputy\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=64527\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Martin Wirth; Occupy Denver activist kills deputy<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
