Arrests, firefight

This was posted on Wiipedia - maybe one of the good old boys - original spelling was very bad.

"Late is the 60's Rose began inviting a variety truth seekers to the family farm which eventually became an ashram. It was during this time Rose was arrested twice. Once for branishing a firearm when he discover that a local attorneys daugher was envolved in a relationship with a black man on the farm... and then later for Felonious assult for the shooting of a local boy 17yrs old after a fire fight insued envolving the young wounded man and several others in his company and Rose and the occupants of the farm at the time Don Tonsend and Regg Dunlap."

Al Fitzpatrick email on "Hippies" article in Wheeling paper

This was found in among a box of newspaper clippings that Rose kept on UFO's, ESP, hypnosis, and psychic stuff etc. that I borrowed from Cecy. I looked for any newspaper articles on the actual shooting but could not find anything, which prompted me to go to the library.

The actual shooting happened several days after the article came out. D. Townsend in his ramblings noted this article and said something to the effect that the article in the paper had prompted the harrassment that resulted in the shooting event.

Yeah, rose actually said the reporter came out to see him after the shootout. Interesting Wikipedia post. I remember the story about the black guy. Rose told him to leave and he said no—he said he had a right to be there. rose said, “You’re right. I don’t want you to leave. Stay right here, I’ll be right back.” Rose returned a few minutes later with a rifle and the next thing you know it was all assholes and elbows. Rose never said it was related to sex. He said the guy was a trouble maker.
