They Got Him

They got him.  It’s been a long day, but they arrested him.

I’m already starting to see jokes about how if you want to escape in a boat it should be in the water, not in watertown.  Har Har.  I wish I’d thought of that.  I could print t-shirts.  Oh well.

I know he will be tried and convicted and put to death under Federal law.  I know.  I don’t like it though.  We’ve seen three innocent people die, one hero of an MIT police officer die in the line of duty, and one scum bag schmuck of a murdering putz die of criminal stupidity.  That’s enough.  I don’t want anyone else to die.  I want him to spend 60 years in prison having what he did pounded into him by his “neighbors”.  Death isn’t punishment for someone like this.  Killing him lets him off the hook.

My sincere thanks to all of the law enforcement people who worked so hard on this.  Hopefully there are no other accomplices   Hopefully they can all kick off their shoes and put up their feet and take a load off.

Good work, people.  Thank you.

Manhunt

As usual, all of the news is scattered, and probably inaccurate.  One of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects is dead.  The other is on the run.  They have killed one cop and injured another.  They were throwing explosives at the pursuing officers.

Some reports say that the dead suspect, a 20 year old Russian immigrant who was here legally, may have killed himself or he may have been shot or he may have had a suicide vest and tried to blow himself up or he may have had a bomb on him as a booby trap.

The two suspects are apparently brothers.  They may have been from Chechnya.  They have been living in Cambridge for a while.  Friends and acquaintances are starting to come forward and they are saying these guys were happy, social, normal, popular, American, kids.

Last night I was hoping strongly that the two suspects in the FBI videos were the actual bombers because I did not want innocent people targeted.  Now, from what we’re being told, there isn’t any doubt that they did it.  Why?

As we speak there is a standoff brewing on Willow Street in Watertown.  Armored trucks, cops on megaphones, helicopters.  They might have the guy cornered.  I sincerely hope they take him alive.  Partly because I want answers, but also because there has been enough death.

If you live in Watertown or in any town nearby, just stay home and keep out of the way.  Stay safe.

What the Hell?

I thought the situation was a confused mess before.

A store robbery, a dead MIT cop, a car jacking, a shot transit cop, a shootout in Watertown, a locked down neighborhood, a dead suspect, explosive devices thrown at cops.

All while we slept snug in our beds about 30 miles to the North.

Lets hope the police can get the other guy before he hurts anyone else.

Hipstamatic Silliness

I was early for my step daughter’s parent teacher conferences last night. There was almost no cell signal so I did what I usually do when I can’t get to the internet. I played with Hipstamatic. Sorry. It’s what I do.

Mind: Blown

I just blew my step daughter’s mind. I gave her the old line…

If there are an infinite number of universes and an infinite number of possibilities therein, then statistically speaking somewhere out there you are batman.

Mind:Blown

She laughed. She gets my stupid sense of humor. She’s one of the few who do.

Damn It

I thought having two sources stating an arrest was made would be enough. I thought my butt was covered.

Wrong.
