Progressives In Bangor, Maine Elect “Prior Killer” To City Council

In case you’re wondering how much the left loves criminals, here’s a story for you.

A town in Maine has just elected a literal killer for city council.

Angela Walker, who was convicted of manslaughter in 2003 over the death of a Canadian tourist is Bangor’s newest City Councilwoman.

After allegedly calling Walker a derogatory term for Native Americans, Derek Rogers’ corpse was found brutally beaten and suffocated with sand stuffed down his throat.

Her brother, Benjamin Humphrey, was also convicted over the death of Rogers.

Unlike what MJTruthUltra says in this next post, Angela Walker was elected to city council, not mayor.

Still, this post provides a lot more specific details about the killing:

Walker is not affiliated with a specific political party.

However, her campaign was sponsored by a progressive organization.

Per Bangor Daily News:

Bangor voters elected Susan Faloon, Daniel Carson and Angela Walker in Tuesday’s election out of a crowded field of nine City Council candidates — Bangor’s largest pool in the last six years.

Faloon was the most popular candidate, with 3,951 votes, and Carson and Walker earned 2,512 and 2,231 votes, respectively.

All three winning candidates were endorsed by the progressive Brewer-based nonprofit Food and Medicine.

According to Walker, her past life does not define her. She’s a new person!

Walker says that her past experiences will help her be a voice for the most “vulnerable.”

You truly can’t make this stuff up.

From The Maine Wire:

Walker is the “peer services coordinator” for the Bangor Area Recovery Network.

She’s reportedly in recovery herself from addiction.

Walker was imprisoned after being convicted of manslaughter in 2003 among her experiences she’s said would help her be a voice on the council for the city’s most “vulnerable” residents amid intersecting homelessness and addiction crises.

Walker was convicted 23 years ago in the brutal Old Orchard Beach killing of Derek Rogers, a Canadian tourist who had allegedly called her a racist name.

Cops found that Rogers had been severely beaten and then suffocated to death with sand forced down his throat.

His lifeless body was found on the beach August 1, 2002 in a section of the popular coastal beach town known as Ocean Park.

He had been a musician who played trombone for the Canadian Central Command Band.

Rogers, whose family had vacationed in Old Orchard for generations, had spent several weeks at the beach with his wife of 20 years, Faith, police said at the time.

Utterly unbelievable.

And yet, it’s totally legal!

What’s next?

A cannibalistic serial killer governor?

Rather fittingly, Bangor, Maine was Stephen King’s inspiration for the town in one of his most famous horror novels, IT.

The New York Post noted:

There is currently no law in place in Bangor barring Walker or any other resident with a criminal record from running for office.

The Maine city served as the real-life inspiration for the fictional town of Derry, which provides the backdrop for several of King’s hit horror novels, including the creepy clown film “It.”

The author used to live in Bangor. His former home there is a spooky Victorian mansion that is closed to the public, according to Tripadvisor.

A convicted killer on city council.

It truly sounds like something out of a horror novel.

The fiction is bleeding over into reality…but it’s so much scarier than a shapeshifting clown!

Makes perfect sense. @StephenKing couldn’t have written it any better.

TDS-afflicted Stephen King’s hometown is Bangor. This is a real-life woke political horror story that overshadows his horror fiction.
