A notice from the Department of Homeland Security:
Watch your own back.

Man with bloody chain saw allowed to enter U.S.
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.

Police believe the dispute between the neighbors boiled over in the early-morning hours of April 24, when Despres allegedly broke into Fulton's home and stabbed to death the musician and 70-year-old Veronica Decarie.

Fulton's daughter found her father's body two days later. His car was later found in a gravel pit on a highway leading to the U.S. border. Despres hitchhiked to the border crossing.


And in other news, the Canadian government withdrew its recommendation that all drivers pick up hitchhikers whenever possible, a suggestion made in the hopes that the effort would make Canadians seem less aggressive.
