*sigh* Why couldn’t he have shot himself first?

I’m thinking this may have been more of a safety concern than gag issue. I’m not a “mayor lover” but he may have had a kind of martial law called for safety as they hunted this guy down. JAT.

"A post in a box from a head in a box"

That doesn't make much sense. Neither does this but at least it's not obnoxious.

Welcome to FR from another Wisconsinite. I'm so sorry that you found us under such awful circumstances.

My husband & son went to Scout camp for many years up at Camp R.S. Lyle near Elcho. Can't imagine something like this happening up there.

My prayers go out to you & those affected by this.

I am sorry to hear about what is happening in your town. You and your family will be in my prayers as you deal with this loss. May God bless and comfort you all.

My impression was that it was both a shelter in place and a gag order. Both have merits.

The shelter in place is obviously a safety issue.

The gag order theoretically reduces wild rumors and panic, and may preserve an unpolluted jury pool. Good luck with that...

Thanks for the “on-scene” reporting, and welcome aboard...albeit under horrible circumstances.

My grandpa used to be on the crandon police force years back,

Yes, but your grandpa was probably and honest cop. Nothing like the bottom feeders out there today.

How old do you have to be to be a SD? 21? I don’t know why but I was thinking this was a younger person.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I *think* upthread it said his age...in his early twenties????

[jellybean]

I’ll try to remember that next time we’re in the area.....

Please let me know when you are! I'd love to meet you, BG! :)

[Brad’s Gramma]
