Is TPM running this story because they’re monitoring the Portland Press-Herald and this was the front page story yesterday instead of anything new about Paul LePage?

Gosh…too bad he’s not black, 14 years old and caught with a joint or he might still have been in prison and none of this would ever have happened.

At least ISIS didn’t inspire the attack. So it’s really not all that important. Death is only meaningful when it fits my agenda.

The cops should have done more and should have listened to this woman when she asked them to stay.

It’s a lot of extra running around for her, but this way she doesn’t come home and find he’s gotten all kinds of malware on the old Lenovo from visiting German dungeon porn sites all afternoon.

And the dude obtained the gun legally, if by legally you mean, through a source that had no background checks or wait periods. Just speculating but you get my point.

Aside from that, he’s a really nice guy.

It makes sense only to a criminal mind. You don’t want to go back to prison, so stalk, harass, kidnap. rape a woman. Then, to insure you never set foot in the Big House again, murder three people you do not known, have possession of weapon, then attempt to murder your kidnapped and rape victim.

He’s gotta be Republican, his thinking is so twisted

Dysfunctional white culture is to blame.

there are a hundred instances of crap like this every week around the country, why is this even on a political page? I don’t understand. If I want to read about low-brow criminal drama I can always go to local news sources… why tpm, why…

Couldn’t the title just be PSYCHOPATH ACTS, THINKS AND SPEAKS AS SUCH and then just skip the whole artilce?

Yep, we definitely need more guns…

You beat me to it.

Her parents, too. A “mutual friend” introduced their daughter to a nutbag with “a criminal record (with) convictions for domestic assault, criminal threatening and assault, and convicted in 2004 of unlawful sexual contact with someone under the age of 14.” (Fourteen! At the time, Lord was 24.)

They need new friends too.
