The suspect, 32-year-old Thomas Butler, was arrested nearby and now faces attempted murder and elder abuse charges, pleading not guilty. Kerry’s widow, Maria, expressed grief but also compassion for Butler’s family, saying he’d destroyed his own life. A community rallied outside their home, honoring Kerry as a patriot who championed free speech—even when it was unpopular. A GoFundMe has been launched to support the family as they navigate this tragedy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
