If you do this you are allowing ignorant, ill-mannered, destructive people to do what they want to Swarthout's property. And will you compensate him for further losses and damage in the future? You don't care what happens to his land; it's just your greed and the term: "Because We Can" that's driving you to this idiocy.
It's disgusting

The pursuit of easement with the use of eminent domain backed by armed assailants has resulted in a battleground. Where were the negotiations? What about a pursuit of constitutional "just compensation"? Wielding a big stick of eminent domain will not stand. From your actions, I may reasonably conclude your high from smelling your own gas.

The greed for money prompted this not the needed access to property Southport owns. There are other options available, the first being to get a survey to know the land they need access to is indeed landlocked, also to accept the offer of a private road not a public one running through the middle of someone's property. There is "no" $ amount that would be acceptable but to offer $3000.00 is a insult
