Eating Democrats
Language:
English
Alfred Packer ate five prospectors whom he was guiding
over a high Colorado plateau in 1874.
The judge who sentenced Packer to hang indignantly pointed out
that "There was only six Democrats in all of Hinsdale County
and you ate five of them."
The Department of Agriculture startled the official community
by dedicating its cafeteria to Alfred Packer. Then the General
Services Administration removed the plaque and accused them
of "bad taste."
