The Sausage King

Gummint Sausage

“ 133 - San Leandro, CA: The Sausage King A farming community famous for producing sausage is shocked when Stuart Alexander, a local man known as the "Sausage King," becomes angry over government regulation of his business and kills three government officials. At his trial, Alexander pleads insanity, but will the jury buy the Sausage King's alibi? (They sentenced him to death, but he died in prison before they could smoke him). ” I watched this story yesterday on the Biography Channel's "City Confidential." In a nutshell, Stuart Alexander had a reputation for making some of the best sausage around. Enter the U.S. Department of Agriculture Inspectors. The agency demanded that "The Sausage King" install new equipment, and make recipe changes that would substantially change his sausage. The struggle goes on for an extended period, with a distraught Alexander finally threatening to shoot any gummint people who attempt to padlock his business. .Sausage King rigs his plant with video cameras to prove the Inspectors were, in fact, there to harass him more than anything else. Video of the three, before he shot and killed them, and shot and killed them again shows one Inspector, Jean Hillery, laughing at him as he pleads that they leave him alone. He calls 911 to have the police make them leave, but none are dispatched. But, this is not what I'm telling you about here. This is. During his trial there was testimony that the agents were warned that Alexander was very highly agitated, and might pull a gun. The response of Hillery was" Good. If he does that we have him by the balls. He'll go to prison for ten years Factor that into your brainal database. It's how gummint thinks, and works.
