Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, August 26, 2026

A man killed eight of his relatives, including four children, as they gathered for Sunday dinner at a home in Billings, Montana, just weeks after his parents forced him to move out, a family member told The Associated Press. Brad Ireland, whose former wife and two children were among the dead, identified the shooter as 44-year-old Alan Smith. Smith's parents, who were also killed, had asked him to move out, but he returned on Sunday and opened fire, Ireland said. The victims represented four generations of the blended family, ranging from a great-grandmother in her 90s who used a wheelchair to a 7-year-old girl, according to Jennifer Mercer, a neighbor and family friend who set up an online fundraiser to help cover funeral costs and other expenses, and was authorized to release these details.

Montana, the state that keeps on giving, like Texas or Florida.

AIPAC pod-people and Republicans must want Montanans either stupid, sick, or dead.

No other explanation is plausible.

Total population of Montana: ~1,137,233

Jewish population of Montana: ~3,170
