As you all know US customs has been improved to the point that dangerous terrorists like renowned singer and peace advocate Cat Stevens are kept out of the country.

On the other hand good upstanding citizens like chainsaw murders are allowed to enter the country provided that they leave their sword, hatchet, knife, brass knuckles, and blood stained chainsaw at the door (er … border.)

Oddly enough no report was made of his knife, which he used to stab Veronica Decarie, being bloody, but the chainsaw, which he used to decapitate her common law husband Fredrick Fulton, was visibly covered in blood.

Though he was allowed through customs he was later detained and then (formally) arrested after being found walking down the street in Massachusetts still wearing the blood stained sweatshirt he wore through customs.

-

In defense of the US Customs system he was detained for two hours during which a spokesman for US Customs and Border Patrol assures us the used, “every conceivable method” to find out whether or not he was a threat. Furthermore it would appear that they were right, he didn’t actually hurt anyone after he came into the US.

The spokesman went on to say that the situation, “sounds stupid,” but Customs officials lack the ability to tell whether something is, “blood or rust or red paint.” I can do that with my fingernail, but I guess I’m just gifted.

There was no point of this post other than to let people know of the event, the title is a shortened version of the headline of the original article.

sounds to me like that guy was trying to get caught... he crossed the border while wearing his victims' blood and after he failed to be arrested, started walking down streets waiting for someone to notice the guy soaked in blood.

I would also like to see the article because I'm basing these theories on what you have stated.

"We are governed by laws and regulations, and he did not violate any regulations." Well then I guess you're covered! Good on ya! You see some guy with what looks like blood on his chainsaw and you don't even call the cops? People are so obsessed with procedure and following the rules in the most limited, self-serving way that they can't even show up as human beings. All the money in the world shoveled into Homeland Security means nothing if people care more about regulations than reality ('course, if he weren't white, we'd have the national guard there in a NY minute). Here's a question for the guy, "Hey, is that blood on your chainsaw?" Or would that be against regulations?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Yeah that would have made sense, therefore, not like to happen.
I've stopped being surprised. The only 12 people on the planet that thought OJ didn't do it got on his jury. The "defense" for Wack-o (Edit:Jack-o) is "well, here's a few kids that will say he didn't touch them." I guess these guys thought " well, he's not killing me, therefore, not a killer."
Unsurprised,

Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends
By Phil Ochs

Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up, they're hanging on a cliff.
Maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain
But we gotta move and we might get sued and it looks like it's gonna rain
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor
Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already and besides we got the cops
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.

Oh there's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale
The Supreme Court was so upset, they sent him off to jail.
Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine.
But we're busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

Smoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer,
But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years
Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why
But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

Oh look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

[ Additional verse, 1974]

Down in Santiago where they took away our mines
We cut off all their money so they robbed the storehouse blind
Now maybe we should ask some questions, maybe shed a tear
But I bet you a copper penny, it cannot happen here
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

That guy is not kind of scarey. I actually bolted back from chair when the picture refreshed. WOW!!

And no one had a problem with him??

"Well being southern and all, I probably would have taken his chainsaw (cause it was a nice 'en), shot him for being so so so freaky looking and went back home and sat on my porch."

::shakes head:: Glad I'm a southern expatriot because the above is exactly the response just about everyone in my family would have had.

Still he's frightening - good reaver material though.

This is another sign of your tragic space dementia - all paranoid and crotchety. Breaks the heart.

I wonder if these people were working for a micro-managing honcho, and were defensive at not getting caught on any small deviation from 'the rules'. Sometimes a bureaucrat can do that to a whole bunch of subordinates.
