Man With Bloody Chain Saw Allowed to Enter U.S.
2005-06-07
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. 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.

At a time when the United States is tightening its borders, how could a man toting what appeared to be a bloody chain saw be allowed into the country?

#7  The sad thing is that reading about them letting him through didn't surprise me at all.

#6  As long as he declared them, the see nothing wrong with that.

On a more serious note, what were the Customs agents' major malfunction? Are they so politically sensitive that they would let into this country a man, who if seen on any street, would cause women and children to run away screaming? Here is a Customs Agency entrance exam question: A bugged out crazy guy walks (I assume) up to the border with weapons, a bloody chainsaw, and bloodstained clothes. What do you do?
A. Arrest him and call the Canadian authorities.
B. Refuse him entry.
C. Wave him through and show him the map of the nearest elementary school.

He should have been arrested for the cowlick haircut alone.
