BOSTON — On April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres.

Then they let him into the United States.

The following day, a gruesome scene was discovered in Despres' hometown of Minto, New Brunswick: The decapitated body of a 74-year-old country musician named Frederick Fulton was found on Fulton's kitchen floor. The man's head was in a pillow case under a kitchen table. His common-law wife was discovered stabbed to death in a bedroom.

Despres, 22, immediately became a suspect because of a history of violence between him and his neighbors, and he was arrested April 27 after police in Massachusetts saw him wandering down a highway in a sweat shirt with red and brown stains. He is now in jail in Massachusetts on murder charges, awaiting an extradition hearing next month.

3. Feeling more SECURE in the HOMELAND, anyone?

The WORST idiot who mans the register at my local Mickey D's would probably dial 9-1-1 if a customer came in carrying:
brass knuckles
A sword
And, (last but not least):
A CHAINSAW COVERED IN BLOOD!

But after spending BILLION$ on "Homeland Security",
our Border Guards simply confiscate the chainsaw and then wave him through?

Good thing he didn't have a roach in his ashtray...
his vehicle and his blood-stained chainsaw would have been siezed and sold at auction before he got his phone call from jail.

Welcome to Amerika! Commander Cuckoobananas is watching you!

C'mon, folks, why all the excitement?

All those border guards saw was
the SCARIEST DEAD-EYED SONAVABITCH SINCE MANSON trying to enter our country,
carrying A CHAINSAW COVERED IN FRESH BLOOD.

Hey, it's not like he was a 16yo girl reading a Koran or anything!
