Around AmeriKa: Manchurian Candidate Goes Medieval in Las Vegas

I suppose you can't make this stuff up....

"Suspect in Las Vegas ax killing tells police he blacked out" by Associated Press | February 13, 2010

LAS VEGAS - A man accused of killing a 4-month-old boy with a medieval-style battle ax and critically injuring the child’s mother in a Las Vegas neighborhood told investigators he doesn’t remember a thing, police said yesterday.

Hate to suggest it, but ever hear of Project MK Ultra or Operation Bluebird, readers?

Harold E. Montague, 33, didn’t know the woman or the boy he is accused of hacking with the blade of the ax during the rampage Thursday on a residential street about a mile east of Las Vegas Boulevard, police said....

“We don’t know what set him off,’’ police Lieutenant Lewis Roberts said after Montague was interviewed by homicide detectives and taken to the Clark County jail.

“He claims he blacked out. He said he doesn’t remember anything,’’ Roberts said....

Montague left the ax in the single-family home before police arrived, and scuffled with officers who tried to use a Taser to subdue and arrest him.

Like it didn't take????

Maybe they zapped the memory out of him, huh?

And you thought we didn't torture here in the good old U.S. of A.
