“Monfort, accused cop killer, pleads not guilty”

SNIPPET: “Investigators said DNA evidence found at the scene of Brenton’s slaying and the earlier arson at a police maintenance yard were a match to Monfort. His DNA was found on identical American flag bandannas dropped at both scenes as “calling cards,” according to court documents.
In addition, a rifle found in Monfort’s apartment is an identical ballistic match to the weapon used to kill Brenton and wound his partner, Britt Sweeney, according to investigators.
Prosecutors accused Monfort of placing bombs at the scene of the Oct. 22 arson that were designed to explode and kill police, firefighters and medics who arrived to battle a blaze that destroyed a large command vehicle. The bombs were placed under two parked patrol cars.”
SNIPPET: “Inside Monfort’s apartment, police said they found three rifles, including the one used to kill Brenton, and a pistol-grip shotgun, as well as several bombs consisting of propane bottles wrapped with duct tape, nails protruding. Some had very short fuses, indicating Monfort could light them and throw them at police, and another had a fuse sitting on the heating element of his kitchen stove, authorities said.”

He also liked art, among other things.

Sounds like a coordinated terrorist attack, not your usual “cop killer”
Yes, the suspect has been described as a “lone domestic terrorist.”

Odd. The guy doesn’t look stupid (you can tell) but he drops DNA that carelessly? Something doesn’t compute.
Yeah, nothing like a white shirt and tie to make you intelligent. I must remember that.
