What a mess.

[Thinkin' Gal]

The cousin of famed skier Bode Miller who shot and killed a Franconia police officer...

When skiers go bad?

Passer-by Gregory W. Floyd, 49, a former Marine, witnessed the shooting and came to the officer's aid.

Buy Pat Grossmith a clue ping.

Because of Bode Miller’s status, this baby’s going to trial. I hope Floyd has a good lawyer.

It once again reminds us of the difficult and dangerous work that is done every day by law enforcement of the state to protect each of us.
Oh, please!
Snip...At 6:30 p.m., McKay pulled over the 1984 Toyota Celica Kenney was driving on Route 116 in Franconia for speeding and a problem with the car's registration.
That's really protecting each of us. I'd like to see the blotter as to what else was happening at the same time.
And if pulling folks over for minor traffic violations is considered "protecting us" then I can do without such "protection". (tickets=fines=protection? what a racket!)

McKay and Kenney had a long-standing dislike of each other, according to Kenney's friends and family. Kenney was convicted in 2003 of assaulting a police officer -- McKay -- and resisting arrest, Ayotte said.
And there's no such thing as an officer using his position of authority to "get back at" somebody when they've shamed or embarrassed them. They don't follow them around waiting for some minor traffic violations to harass them. Nah, stuff like that doesn't happen in America. >cough cough BS<

On face value it sounds like a case of "Respect ma authorita" gone horribly wrong.

Liko Kenney, 24, of Franconia, convicted in 2003 of assaulting Franconia Police Cpl. Bruce McKay, shot him dead Friday night and then ran over him with his Toyota, authorities said yesterday at a Concord press conference.
4 years for the stew to boil. I'd be willing to bet McKay kept close tabs on Kenney.

Conte said he did not know how fast McKay was driving when he overtook theToyota about 1 1/2 miles later on Route 116.
But, but...McKay's cruiser videotaped the incident.
Shouldn't the whole thing, from start to finish including the chase and the forcing off of the road, have been taped? (anybody watch any recent episodes of the latest "cop chases shows"? everything is on the tape)
Let's go to the video...(which will never happen)

"What a mess."

Yes, and it will become impossible for bystanders or fellow officers to do such things if "individually tagged smart guns" become the required firearm type, and all others are banned--which is another of the long laundry list of anti-gun initiatives.

"Passer-by Gregory W. Floyd, 49, a former Marine, witnessed the shooting and came to the officer's aid."

Maybe it was like what happened to Chuck Connors where the commanding officer broke the sword over his knee.

Branded... scorned is the one who raaaan
What do you do when your branded?
And you know you're a man.
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must proooooove, you're a man

"Because of Bode Miller’s status, this baby’s going to trial. I hope Floyd has a good lawyer."

Or a local jury.

Deadly end to a history of trouble
Four years before their fatal confrontation Friday night, Kenney was convicted of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. The officer he assaulted was McKay.
And that was just one chapter in a history of bad blood between the two men, local residents -- including friends and relatives of Kenney -- said yesterday.

Snip...Selectmen Carl Belz and Rich McLeod said they know of no feud between McKay and Liko Kenney, but others in town claim the bad blood was common knowledge.

Care for pepper?

The cousin of famed skier Bode Miller...

But a cousin doesn't seem like a close enough relative to pull the professional skier into this. Like saying a baseball player's fifth cousin on his mother's side twice removed committed a murder, the baseball player's career is over!

But then, maybe the cousin was involved in the ski industry too.

In a town of less than 1000 people everybody knows everyone and everybody knows each other's business.

For good or bad.

This is a tragedy of epic proportions.

It will take an artist like Faulkner or Verdi to make sense of this.

Hey, Phil you sound like you have an axe to grind. I am sure the whole tape will be made public, after the investigation is completed. Pulling people over for small traffic violations sometime leads to bigger crimes, but then you may know about that.

About 12 years ago here in NH had similar incident with a guy named Dragua [spl?] small town, was watched very closely and still ended up killing multiple LEs and several town officials.

From personal experience, in my town we had a guy who announced many times he would have no problem killing cops.Do you think we did not watch him?

Now Phil I bet if some guy told you he had no problem killing you, you would demand the cops protect you, or would you kill him first?

Yeah, you got that right. I didn't know it was such a small town.

I got my degree in a small area out West. One guy at work (I worked full time while in college), moved down to Phoenix for two years. I bumped into him in the grocery store the day after he got back to town. He immediately said "So I hear Jason has been cheating with Jennifer who's ten years younger than he is and is going to divorce his wife for Jennifer" (all of it was true).

I was stunned because he had been back ONE DAY, and that all happened that same week. When I was shocked into silence he said "It's amazing how s*** flies around here, isn't it?"

Read #13 and reconsider.

[Past Your Eyes]

I doubt that very much. Bode Miller is a low-life and everybody knows it.
