Alaska Paper Warns Palin Biographer-Neighbor: Palin Has Right To Kill To Defend Property

As you may have read, author Joe McGinniss has moved in next door to sometime-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as part of an ongoing and extreme effort to research the Palins for a forthcoming book. This has raised all sorts of questions! Such as: is it above board for a journalist to take these sorts of measures? And is it proper for Palin to blithely allege that McGinniss is motivated by sexual perversion?

Now, we are confronted with a new question, namely: would it be OK if the Palin's just straight up killed Joe McGinniss in self-defense?

The Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman has decided to remind everyone of this possibility in an editorial. Titled "Wasilla fence fascinating for media outlets," the editors of the Frontiersman runs down how this story has drawn the attention of the national media. And then they ensure that they garner a share of the attention for themselves by adding this kicker:

Finally, those who are fond of Joe McGinnis might remind him (if he doesn't already know) that Alaska has a law that allows the use of deadly force in protection of life and property.

So that's something to consider before you foolishly rent property in Alaska.

1. It also follows ...

that McGinnis has the same right. Maybe someone might remind her of that!!

2. Palin is a lot more likely to fuck with McGinnis than vice versa

She's already kind of signaled that she was not going to be particularly neighborly with the guy.

I'm guessing he knows this and is armed in case she sends Tawd over to try to intimidate him.

This could turn out to be a very interesting episode.

4. George Bush is the only other nobody I've seen get this much hype

over nothing of importance. I'd LOVE to know who the paymasters are behind the Palin engine! Repukes love a nobody, reminds them of themselves I guess.

5. WTF?

She is trying to smear him by claiming he is spying,is a pervert,out to get her,etc.but so far he has done nothing.Him being there must drive her nuts. I hope he invites Keith Olberman to do his show live at his house one night before he moves out.

11. For Those

For those who are saying the guy is creepy and why did he move in next door. It has been explained over and over that he is writing a book about Plain and has moved in to research and ask people in the town about her. He is breaking no laws and if the dumb idiot were smart,she would have welcomed him.Instead, she showed just how bat shit crazy she is. He has done nothing wrong and for her to flip out like that is just stupid. How did she react to the previous owners/tenants?

Oh, and there is more to this story here by the way.

6. Why did the guy move next door anyways, pretty creepy behavior...

When I first heard about I thought they lived on some gigantic compound where the property line was a half mile away. But that little cabin is like RIGHT NEXT to their house. Just kind of "ewww"

8. Sounds like a stalker.

I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

7. And everyone should remember that McGinnis has the same right.

9. Kill baby, kill.

I heard there was a meth problem in Wasilla. I even heard the Palin family was involved.
Are the local journalists hard core users as well? One has to wonder.

10. Careful, Joe! Palin supports preemptive action in the face of an imminent threat.

12. STAY OFF HER LAWN!

Uh oh, self defense!
