#8  I think his bullet riddled, bipolar corpse sprawled across the finish line would've done a lot to discourage his fellow demented attention whores from pulling any more shit like this.

#7  The Boston liberal crowd has less of a sense of humor about this than other militant/speak-truth-to-power/freedom-fighter incidents; even though the Boston Globe, Rolling Stone and now the NYT have written sob stories about the poor poor dears.

#6  This guy is supposedly a college student. I guess there's no reason to be surprised that guys like this can be undergrads. No reason not to.

#4  Boston - the stocks for a couple days. I'm sure local markets can provide suitable rotted uneatable vegetation for effect.

IIRC even a SCOTUS opinion was something like 'you can't scream fire in a crowded theater'.

#3  Update from Business Insider

Boston Police reportedly arrested a man Monday evening after he allegedly caused a disturbance by shouting and dropping a backpack at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on the anniversary of the bombing there last year. According to CBS Boston, the suspect is a 25-year-old man named Kayvon Edson who is being charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and possession of a hoax device. CBS also reported the bag contained a rice cooker and confetti. Instagram videos show a man wearing a long black veil and shouting "Boston strong!" before he allegedly dropped the backpack.

A man using the name Kayvon Edson who appears to match photos of the suspect shown by NECN has an extensive digital trail where he documented his activities as a "performance artist." On Facebook, a page for Edson features a picture of one of the brothers charged with last year's Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The photo, which was posted by Edson about 14 hours ago, has a heading saying, "Had a blast at the marathon!!!"


Give him a fair trial, then hang 'im high. Too stupid to live isn't a threat, it's a diagnosis.
