I agree he looks realy spaced out, however as a citizen did the border patrol have any real reason to prevent him crossing? I think they did as much as they are allowed, I'm sure you wouldn't want people detained indefinitly for just looking strange would you.

He was "carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood"......

If thats not reason enough for detaining someone...I would like to know what is then...

Well, where he was may say something: "Calais"?...
I know, that was catty, but it's my keyboard.

Ah hell. He had been on a hunting trip. He knocked out a moose with the brass knuckles and used the chain saw to cut it up. The knife was for the butchering, the hatchet to cut wood, and the homemade swors was just in case the mosse also had brass knuckles and fought back.

The only law he broke was killing the moose out of season-but a poor man has to eat, you know?

I for one am not eager to see the US borders closed to US citizens that look and act "weird", I would still be stuck in Canada.

I wouldn't mind standing in line for hours if I thought that our safety improved; however, this goes to show the wait is fruitless!

I read up on it a little more. The folks at the border managed to hold him for over two hours while they looked for a reason to detain him.

If he'd been a foreigner they could have turned him away, but he was a naturalized citizen of the United States with NO outstanding wants or warrants against him.

They gotta follow the rules.

Lot's of people in Canada carry around bloody chainsaws

Was the chainsaw running or not?

Forget about the moose theory. Go to the news article and:

(1) As Acidman suggests, look at the picture of that dude,

(2) Read that the decapitated body of a 74 year old neighbor was found after he left town, as was the stabbed-to-death body of the neighbor's wife.

Only a nation as positively ROMAN as ours would allow such shit to happen.

We might as well tie a noose around the metaphorical neck of the USA.

Three of my sons have Arabic names. They went up to Canada a few monthes ago. Had no trouble leaving the U.S. But, they were held for hours while the officers did a search on their names... why would anyone want to hold three young men that long, just because they were named Rahmatullah, Tarazullah, and Ruhullah? We couldn't figure it out!

What I can't figure out is why anyone would want to pin handles like these on innocent kids? Damn! What ever happened to John, Paul, David, Ringo, Stinky and good American names like that? Hell, I would call the bank before I would cash a check from somebody with names like these!

GUYK! Ha! Didn't want to, but I did, long story. No problem, they finally learned to spell them by the 3rd grade.

There's an absolutely acceptable explanation for this guy to have the bloody chain saw.

One word.

Beavers.

Maurauding, vicious little bastards. The crazy looking young fella needed the chainsaw for protection from those wild Canadian beavers.

Yeah, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it.

p.s. He's one crazy AND scary lookin' dude ain't he? One just like him coming soon to EVERYONE's neighborhood!!

Beavers? Nothing a Colt 1911 couldn't take care of.

Good luck getting a 1911 up in Canuckistan. They don't like US citizens wandering around with handguns up there.

You think I don't know that?

I was talking about the beavers down here.
