VIOLA, Wis. A landowner with "strong anti-government attitudes" barricaded himself in his rural home Thursday and fired shots at SWAT officers trying to search his home and arrest him, authorities said. No one was injured.
Richland County sheriff's deputies tried to serve Robert Bayliss, 60, with a lawsuit seeking to evict him for failure to pay property taxes back to 2001 on his home and 18 acres.

"strong anti-government attitudes" Sorry but I love the way they try to label us. Just another way to bash us.
The fire had been contained Thursday evening. The cause remained under investigation, Gudgeon said.

So you want to start a state full of people that don't pay any taxes..?
How long do you think it would last before the sewers are backed up and the streets are piled up with garbage? Education, Police, Fire, Ambulance, Medicare, Social Security, etc, etc..
I don't like paying taxes anymore than the next guy, but hey nobody's going to provide you with services for free.
