“A woman who was sentenced to a decade in prison for suffocating a Canadian tourist to death by stuffing his mouth with sand has been elected to the city council of Bangor, Maine — the town that helped inspire Stephen King’s horror novel It.
Angela Walker was elected a Bangor council member this week, 22 years after she pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges alongside her brother, Benjamin Humphrey, in the 2002 death of a Canadian tourist, Derek Rogers.
Online critics considered her election an outrage, while Walker herself said she hoped to serve as an example of recovery from alcoholism and homelessness.”

This runs deeper than politics. Our civilization is deeply, deeply broken. We are nearing bottom.
