I just murdered four people. A stranger at the door, a terrible crime

Source: Boston Globe

GROTON — Wagner Alcocer and his wife were scrolling through real estate listings on their computer Friday evening when they heard a voice asking for help outside their home on Common Street.

When Alcocer, 52, looked up, he saw a naked young man covered head to toe in mud standing inside their screened-in back porch. He had blood on his face. He was calm. He looked right at Alcocer.

And DU namesake.

We alumni got an email about this horrible tragedy earlier today.

Just a few months ago this person was performing in his senior concert.

I tried viewing it in incognito mode but they detected that. I use chrome so it was pretty easy to clear the cookies for just a specific site. If you use chrome or have a browser that lets you do that, then you can get around those problems. In chrome, if you can go to the settings -> more tools -> developers tools -> application tab -> clear storage -> click clear site data button. That's only clears the store data for the site you're currently on. It doesn't clear it for every single site.

You get three or four a month free. What makes them untruthful? I am curious and just asking a question.

I am from Boston and like the Boston Globe.

Everyone does and have never been billed for anything


Perhaps you should ask the Globe to clarify since you were overbilled after signing up for a free subscription. You did sign up, correct? .... and overbilled? Before calling them out, please call them. The Boston Globe is a great paper.

or maybe it is just glitch. There are so many newspapers across the United States and the UK, people can't be expected to subscribe to them all.

Any site that has a paywall like WSJ, WaPo, and the others can be accessed anytime if you go that route.

As written, it looks like YOU are copping to a quadruple murder, and that's clearly not your intent.

They liked him and cannot understand why he did this. Psychotic break or under the influence of something seems the only explanation.
