storm1977 0 #1 June 8, 2005 WHY DID THEY LET THIS GUY INTO THE COUNTRY WITH WHAT HE WAS CARRYING???? ANYONE???? BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- 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. His head was in a pillowcase 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. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/07/border.crossing.ap/index.html ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the guy is not smart.

They did fingerprint him and document the items he was carrying. I don't know that everyone crossing the border get's that treatment. I think the story is some "ooga-booga" meant to make us all cringe about our "open borders". The thing is that in this particular case,to me, the border guards appear to have done their job very well.
