And we thought the Mexican border was bad
« on: June 08, 2005, 01:47:07 PM »
I've tried to find an online link to this story, but apparently most newspapers nowadays require you to pay money to see stuff they post on the internet.  Even though it was in the local paper, they didnt bother to add it to the online sections because its an AP story.  Go figure

Apparently this guy shows up at the US/Canada border in Maine, carrying a sword, hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles, and a chain saw that seemed to be stained with dry blood.  The border police confiscated his weapons, fingerprinted him, and let him cross.  This was April 25.  The next day, they find the guy's neighbor in New Brunswick, and the neighbor's wife, dead.  The guy had been decapitated.  The day after that, police in Massachusettes find the guy wandering on the side of the road and pick him up, his clothes still covered with blood stains.  They put him in jail, and he's awaiting extradition.  

Now the Border police say the guy is a naturalized US citizen, and had no warrants, so they had no legal right to stop him.  Comon.  A guy comes walking down the road armed like he's going to a Highlander vs Jason showdown, covered with blood, and you cant find a legal reason to detain him?  So you take away his toys, and let him wander around the countryside free for two days.

We can always count on the border guards.

Meanwhile, Cat Stevens is enemy number one.

Ty.  I knew it had to be out there on the internet somewhere.

Now really, if you saw this guy, with those weapons, wanting to come into the country, would you let him in???

More importantly would you be sued if you didn't? Probably.

I suppose it doesnt matter in the long run, for this particular case.  Nothing bad came of letting him roam around for two days.  I would just think, with the concerns we have about our borders, that there would be enough suspicion there to hold the guy at least for a day while some investigation was done.  At the very least, local or state authorities could have been alerted to the situation, so someone could keep an eye on the guy.  

Hell I dont know, maybe they just thought since he was Canadian, he couldnt possibly be a threat?  

j/k

Just kinda strikes me as something wrong there.  But then, its true, I wasnt there, so how am I to know what happened?

Think how many come across our borders totally unobserved by any US governmental authority at all.

Despres hitchhiked to the border crossing.


Who the hell was dumb enough to pick up a hitchhiker who looked like that carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood?

DON'T YOU PEOPLE WATCH HORROR MOVIES IN CANADUH?

This is so ironic given Canadian Customs obsession with making sure you can't enter their country if you have something you can defend yourself with.
