RIP Andrew Wordes

[gunnarwordon]

For all of you that knew Atlanta resident Andrew "AK47" Wordes, you know his legacy. he was known for keeping chickens and ducks in one of the biggest cities in the united states. He was often harrassed and arrested for keeping these chickens. He was a great man, who left a legacy.
This afternoon, while the authorities were evicting him out of his house for foreclosure, his house spontaniously exploded. A body has been recovered in the house, and it is assumed it was his.
We will miss you Andy, you were the best.

There is a thread in Random Ramblings about this already. So very sad.

This article is UNTRUE!!! He was jailed for minor housing code violations. Things that most people would not be jailed for. At the time he went to jail, his animals were all rehomed.

I wouldn't be suprised about the jailing for code violations. Can happen to anyone.

Have a friend who is slowly dying with COPD,and she was jailed for a week when she did not repair the outside of her house as dictated by city standards. You'd think someone would help this dying mother,but no one cared.She was in jail for a week with REAL criminals,and boy did she have to struggle just to get some of her daily meds.

You get on someones wrong side and you can easily get messed with. To bad this guy felt he had no options.Sadly living in America is not as good as it used to be.
