Only About Hair

I sure hope that this "Aqua Teen Hunger Force"/Boston-freaking-out shit gets resolved in an intelligent way, that some judge realizes that the goal of protection and safety is being lost in this nonsense. The fools who escalated this all to a full clampdown of Boston should be questioned, and they should re-examine their protocol for Dealing With The Unknown. Come on, think it through a bit. It has its middle finger up.

But my main reason for this post is to share this marvelous photo and caption from the story on CNN. It appears that the judge in the case is aware that intent is important here, to the degree that the "perps" could be guilty of "Creating a Panic."

But check out this great stuff:


And, from the article:

Asked by the judge to describe what the figure on the light box was doing, Grossman said, "Colloquially, he was flipping the bird, your honor."

If you lived in Boston, would it make you feel safe to know that it would take the police 3 weeks to notice and then act on something they felt was a network of bombs?
