Hope it isn't anyone we know, and hope it doesn't turn the attitudes of what right now is a manufacturer-friendly (though not so user-friendly) state. A wire story reprinted in today's Idaho Falls Post Register, very short on details (the Idaho Statesman story gave an address, but no name and no further details):
