Seriously, wtf?

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.

Sorry if my links don't work.

That's on the NOIZE BOARD so don't worry about the dupe.

The noise board is LEGIT

I know but it's ok to dupe on different boards for different audiences. Happens all the time.

devillock!

Fulton was kinda popular out east. And already the asshats here are mocking his death, wonderful.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

I thought this was going to be a FAP thread.

devillock!

I noticed that myself. Wonder what his favorite song was.

Misfits fans hate country music???

Not this asshat, asshat. And is Mr. Fulton's popularity "out east" the basis upon which my respects to him should be payed?

Some tragedies are mockable, unfortunately. When a possessed-looking whacko murders somebody and is then able to show up with tools of his crime and pass through a secured border--that's mockable. I'm mocking. And I think an expectation that such a scenario, without more, would not be commented upon with some degree of mockery is not reasonable.

There was no intention to disrespect Mr. Fulton, and he could have been UNpopular back east and it would be no less a tragedy to those who knew and loved him or his work.

If you were particularly connected to Mr. Fulton, I'm sorry for your loss. If you wish to inform us about why Mr. Fulton's loss is significant to us all, I will certainly listen respectfully.

But if you are just being a pious jerk in asshatting me, no apology.

(I don't think he meant on ILE, I think he meant in real life at his location.)

I'm trying to picture what would have happened had this been Johnny Cash who was chopped up.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

He kinda looks like Scandanavian Death Metal Elijah Wood.

Three boards with the same topic! Was also posted on ILM for some reason.

Good grief. Who cares what was on his iPod?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

See, this is why I've never been a fan of the "What's On Your iPod?" meme. It's banal list-making masquerading as "oooh! transgressive" humor.

i would like to point out--that i got turned from the border WITHOUT A FUCKING BLOODY CHAINSAW

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

Clearly you need better accessories, Anthony.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

Maybe that was the problem...? (xpost CURSE YOU DAVER)

Wayne Coyne once crossed the border without incident into Canada with a bloody white shirt. Fake blood mind you, Nardwuar has pictures.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

i don't know what's more disappointing, that we produced such a headcase or that we let wayne coyne in.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

Nardwuar is nothing to be ashamed of Mark, he is...unique.
