There's no way in hell they can be found guilty of a bomb hoax. Then again, there was no way in hell O.J. Simpson was innocent...
This has got to be one of the EFFING STUPIDEST things I've ever seen.
Is it just me or doesn't the word 'hoax' imply some sort of intent to present the devices as a bomb. It was a lit up little sign. It didn't look like a bomb. It looked like a lit up little sign. Lit up little signs are ALL OVER Boston. Hell - they're all over Leonartown, MD, for that matter.
These signs have been up for weeks. In 10 cities. To call it a bomb hoax is ludicrous.
Perhaps they have a point with visible wires and batteries. But if that's what they're basing this incredible hysteria on, then a charge of shoddy workmanship is more appropriate than bomb hoax.
To continue persuing criminal charges for this is ridiculous. The city of Boston COMPLETELY overreacted, and they're trying to make these guys into scapegoats because they're embarrassed about it. They complain about a waste of time and taxpayer money - and now they're going to waste more time and taxpayer money persuing trying to prosecute these guys. What a goddam joke.
The one guy, however, should be brought up on charges.... for that HAIR. Now THAT is criminal. Call the friggin fashion police - there's a felony in progress.
