This is a Minnesota report on a Montana event. “Exchange student” makes the perp sound like a confused innocent. In reality he was participating in a deliberate burgulary. The homeowner was on watch with a shotgun, though he did bait the break in.

Still, the headline reads like it was written from a liberal bias, which it was.

Story was printed in (and posted from) the St. Paul newspaper but it was reported by the Associated Press out of Helena (not sure why since the shooting was in Missoula, unless perhaps Helena is the only AP bureau in the state).

Regardless the Missoula paper is probably more liberal than the AP, hard as that is to imagine, and the coverage across Montana carries much the same tone.

There is a ton of crime in Montana's larger cities now, Billings even more so than Missoula, and the police barely manage to show up and take a report.

There is a great deal of frustration about constant break-ins, home invasions and armed robberies, and the lack of response.

This guy would have had a landslide of public support if he hadn't shot his mouth off in advance, and if his wife had kept her yap shut after the fact.
