I wonder what happened to those kids who murdered those two professors in Vermont a couple of years back. Those were some brutal murders.

The "alleged" perp...

[twigs]

Mrs. White should feel very, very fortunate that she and her husband are still alive. How awful!

"He’s a reliable, soft-spoken employee who has cooked with us since late June."

I can't even imagine *what* the appetizers were made of. Yuk.

[the invisib1e hand]

they may not go often, but when they, they really go.

I stayed at an inn in northern NH for a weekend this summer. What I noticed when I gassed up in town was just how weird the younger locals were. One kid, screwed up on something, singing with headphones on at an intersection, sort of drooling and giving everyone the evil eye.

I mean, it's not like there were more than a few hundred people in the entire town. Made me wonder what the rest of his week was like; and what sort things they did in their basement get-togethers.

Pity that was one of the lasting images of the weekend. I thought, no, I really wouldn't want my kids growing up in this town.

Anyay, tragic and weird story. Very sickening.

"This is a surprise to me," White said. "He’s a reliable, soft-spoken employee who has cooked with us since late June."

Yeah, `and he was probably an Honor Student too.

The phone rang unanswered Tuesday at the Black Bear

DUH. Who's left?

[fatnotlazy]

Alas, you just never know. And there is no such thing as a safe community.

[Mr. Lucky]

This is the worst homicide in Maine in the past 14 years...

I wonder what he thinks the best homicide was.

[armymarinemom]

The perp will get life but the gun gets a death sentence. Makes sense huh?

[Monti Cello]

This must be the crazy chef with the knife whose wireless service kept cutting out while he was trying to order pork.

[SpaceBar]

It is pretty evident from reading horrific stories day after day that there exists a not insignificant fraction of the population that are homicidal psychopaths with little value to society and beyond societal redemption. I say fast-track certain capital offenses of a particularly heinous nature, limit a single appeal of conviction to a thirty day window, and ensure a speedy verdict. State executions should dispense with all the needles and gurneys, and dispatch the condemned with a bullet to the head hours after an unsuccessful appeal or clemency. The alternative is to house, feed, and clothe this human garbage and his court appointed lawyer for the rest of his miserable days.

"The phone rang unanswered Tuesday at the Black Bear...."

Uh duh, they were all dead.

[Little Bill]

Damn, I thought he meant Farmington, NH, a hot bed of commie activities, drug use, and other weirdness. I blame it all on the priestess in the Congo church and the hippies in the outreach Mission across the street.

When I found out it was Maine it explained a lot.

"also shot and killed three pet dogs..."



Not quite as bad as the three women and the man, but it ranks up there. Might mean the difference between 20 years and a life sentence.

It was the cook in the bedroom with a gun.

[ArtyFO]

The perp was in the process of being evicted from the B&B. That is prolly what put him over the edge, although he had 11 traffic violations and had his drivers license suspended 7 times - a real loser.

[Brilliant]

"Police assured residents they had nothing to fear..."


I'm predicting he'll be on the streets again within 20 years, based on some psychologist's testimony that he's "not dangerous."

[Jaded]

Just ick.
