Looks like an article was posted just last month about this entire saga. The Organizers apparently screwed up payments and dealings with the actual land owners.


Not that they seemed all that mature and ingratiating to the locals.
Ah, so they were near Norwood; I thought so. Not surprised the locals were less than impressed, or that the group decided to try to start working on the land before the sale closed.

Though the fact the bought a chunk of land without water rights as the place for their 'utopia' shows how dumb they were.
All of those people should have been arrested.
No, aside from the 3 who brandished guns at the guy in the article, the rest seem to have thought they were legitly buying the land and just set up shop before the sale closed.

Might want to raise that exponentially for one person even still because Colorado mountains are not known for high-quality soil...Particularly when its high desert terrain at "10,000 feet above sea level".
10,000ft above sea level is about where we start to need oxygen masks and where trees stop growing in Colorado.

And the people who blocked the road and refused to move (or at least had their vehicles towed), and the people who vandalized the sign by shooting it, and the people who spread screws all over the road...

No, trees in Colorado can be found up to 12,000 feet or so, and we have multiple passes that go over 10k and are travelled by regular people all the time.

You do not need supplemental oxygen for 10k or even 12k, unless you are there for weeks. Hydration is more important than straight oxygen at atltitude, because your lungs drying out reduces how much oxygen you can uptake as a baseline.

Where did you see reports of them blocking the road (article said they were on the road, as in the shoulder, not blocking it completely), and where did you hear of them tossing screws on the road (the article never said that, and this is the first I've heard of it)?

The sign thing...eh, I guess. However proving who did it would be very difficult, because a lot of signs in the CO mountains are used as target practice by bored locals anyway, and it's likely the sign was shot at by more than just this group.

Literally from the article:
Stephens had been on edge. That evening, he heard bursts of gunfire coming from Lot 11. Then, it was quiet.

Sheriff’s deputies watched a caravan of cars leaving Beaver Pines at 6:30 p.m. Later, San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters drove to the property and found the footbridge remained unfinished. The real estate sign advertising Lot 11 was riddled with bullet holes, and the road was sprinkled with 4-inch timber screws.

*sigh*

Most people don't live at those altitudes because that's where people start to have trouble breathing because the air is too thin.

Yes, and if you'd read the article, instead of the BH's BS, it was at 8200, not 10K+.

And even at 10k, you can live their year round without additional air, so long as you allow your body to acclimatize. Human bodies will produce more blood cells and higher saturation blood cells as they spend more time at altitude.

We came to be somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa. High altitudes, dry thin air, and below freezing temperatures is the exact opposite of what our ancestors faced.

Anyways, this is a derail.

Literally from the article:
Huh...I saw them mention the sign, but I guess I just skimmed down to the next paragraph so fast I didn't see it mention the screws.

Well, yeah, that is vandalism and littering at least.

Damn that's wack. According to his Kiwi thread, this guy's been grooming underage homeless boys, and it sounds like one of his victims calling the cops to his 'compound' in Georgia but then apparently committing suicide is what led to his arrest.

That certainly isn't funny, but what is is that ironically 'Gazi Kodzo' here also seems to have a buck breaking fetish.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.

He has a YouTube account too.
