This took place less than three miles from my house. We have yet to learn the decedent's identity, but based on local knowledge, I'd bet that he's one of the homeless guys who live in the wooded stretches near where this took place.

At the moment, it looks like the law isn't going to hassle the shooter, but that could change if the press and activists decide to make a fuss. You'd think that a masked man going after people with a hatchet would be pretty hard to defend, but there's no accounting for how some folk think.

Prayers out to the good guy.

Gets better.
Dave Workman has an interview with a relative: Beware the Ides of March; exclusive update on weekend hatchet attack | Examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/article/beware-the-ides-of-march-exclusive-update-on-weekend-hatchet-attack)
(NOTE: Examiner articles may have obnoxious autoplays.)

Yesterday, this column spoke with Susan Svensk, whose cousin was married to Blacktongue. After noting via email that her cousin “has children who are deeply affected by the loss of their father,” Svensk said in a telephone conversation that “Poncho’s” death, while it came as a shock, did not come as a surprise.

“This has been an on-going problem for many years,” she stated.

I read the Workman article. Seems like the relative has a refreshingly solid perspective on things.

Couldn't agree more. Nice to see some unbiased news.

Yeah. But both Carlson and Workman are staunch conservatives, so by definition they're not part of the MSM. I would not be at all surprised if some of our local papers try to turn this into something very different.
