Minnesota's contribution to gun nuttery

[mnmoderatedem]

As if there hasn't been enough tragedy in the news lately, here's a charming story about a fellow who shot two teens to death, one male one female, after they broke into his home, then taunted them as they lay dying. Granted they should not have been breaking and entering of course, but jebus this guy is scary. He's now out on bail too..



***************************

Kosovich said a recording includes the sound of breaking glass, presumably when Brady broke a rear window, crawled in and then went downstairs.

Smith shot Brady three times, telling him, "You're dead," according to the recording. Within 18 seconds, Kosovich said, came the sound of Brady's body being dragged on a tarp to a workshop.

Ten minutes after the last shot, as Smith sat in his chair, Kifer's voice can be heard on the tape, calling out "Nick?"

Twelve seconds pass and Kifer begins down the stairs.

"Then we hear the first shot," and the sound of her body falling down the stairs, the prosecutor said.

Smith's rifle jams. The click is audible and Smith is heard saying, "Oh, sorry about that,"

As Kifer moans, Smith switches to a revolver.

After the second shot, Kifer says, "Oh, my God," and on the third shot, "Oh, God."

After the fourth shot, she utters "aw" and Smith says to her: "You're dying."

Now, Kosovich said, she's on the basement floor, "helpless," and Smith calls her "bitch." The sound of Smith dragging her to his workshop is audible and she is heard gasping.

One minute and 15 seconds later, again calling her "bitch," Smith fired a shot beneath her chin and into her cranium, the prosecution contends.

1. This is a bizarre story, and has been since day one.

My theory is that he is beginning to suffer from some kind of dementia; nothing in his past seems to indicate anything like this would happen.

2. yeah the guy's unstable

as the story mentions, he's had his house broken into repeatedly. Looks like a lot of paranoia on his part. Wonderful that he has a gun, huh...
