I don't think it has to do with their political views (well, in way it sorta does, but you know what I mean). You can't just blame Fox news for the death of this guy. I'm more partial to Fox than most other stations, but it's very obvious to me that you have to take everything you hear anybody saying about anything political with like a tablespoon of salt because even if it's the truth, it's probably stretched a mile long.

people are going to perceive you different than they do elsewhere.
Even though he was with the Census Bureau, sometimes people can view
someone with any government agency as 'the government.' I just was afraid
that he might meet the wrong character along the way up there.

In other words, the local yokels don't like Big Brother very much. I think it was more to keep the government as a whole out of their county, as apposed to trying to keep liberals or conservatives out of their county individually.
I don't know really, nobody really knows, but I think it's a shame that it happened. From what I can tell, he was a very good guy and was just trying to give back to his community and country.
I'm not big into politics, so maybe there's something I'm missing.
