I know we’re living in the age of instant gratification but when I saw the same question as yours all over social media, I thought What is the average time it takes to find someone? I would think it takes awhile.
He could be, like …. hiding.

The difference here seems to be the amount of evidence available. All the video and pictures. It's not like a murder where there is absolutely nothing to go on.

How long did it take to find Lee Harvey Oswald after the shooting when there was absolutely no technology available? A few hours?

Made better when you provide us such humorous items. Thanks!

True, but after the Boston Marathon bombers were ID'ed didn't the younger brother get away for a while? He was caught because the owner of a boat called police and said there was someone hiding in the boat in his yard under the tarp. Didn't even see his face.

Exactly. I had to cut my neighbor's fence, and now we enjoy the same grass.

Yes. The younger brother was not caught for awhile.

I always thought this the whole Boston Strong thing was quite contradictory with how Boston actually behaving, with everyone being confined to their houses. If everyone had been out and acted normally it would have been more likely he would have been caught earlier as everyone's eyes would have been out looking for him.

I'll come check on you while you are enjoying the grass, God willing and the Creek don't rise. :-)

Happy Sunday everyone!

Christmas is getting crazily close! We just had a Christmas party at work last night. Instead of formal wear though the theme was Christmas PJs. What have you guys been up to this season?

Just regular PJ's.

In case anyone here is actually behind me on this one. Turns out that he is a paisan. Obviously, a highly intelligent one.

Person of interest in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ID’d as Luigi Mangione, an ex-Ivy League student

Indeed. What a waste of a good brain.

Who wears PJs? Commando style dudes, Commando. Get with the program. Be wild and free. Mountaineers are always free. ;-)

^ I love my flannel pj pants. So warm and cozy. Sometimes I wear them for the first half of the day ^

REPORT: Luigi Mangione, who was named a person of interest in the execution of CEO Brian Thompson, was valedictorian of the Gilman School in 2016.

I have found footage of his valedictorian speech at the 119th Gilman School Founder's Day Ceremony.

Mangione is one of six children and said he intended to study AI at the University of Pennsylvania when he graduated.

The Gilman School is a $40,000-a-year all-boys school in Baltimore.

Mangione had shared a quote online from "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski before he was caught.

"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness," a Kaczynski quote liked by Mangione read.

Read about Luigi Mangione yesterday. Hope he’s not related to Chuck.

Comes from a very prominent Baltimore family. Forgive the word: privileged. Degrees in computer science and mathematics from UPenn. Physically fit. A lot of psychopaths are into him and drooling over his extensive social media presence. Reviewed Unabomber’s essay in Goodreads.

He was troubled by the pain and stress of at least one serious back surgery.

The gun he used was 3D-printed. He was found carrying thousands of dollars in anti-tracking (RFID-blocking) bags.

The unabomber was a smart guy who was subjected to bizarre psychological tests which messed him up. What’s this young man’s excuse?

Never knew this.

Dualstow, you are the anti-me. I drown in details. You are the master of economically giving all the salient information.

Damn. I'm kinda disappointed Mangione got caught.

Dude. I know you have socialized medicine, but why? United Health is my insurer and I hate them too. As a matter of fact my wife is currently overseas seeking healthcare, as it’s cheaper and less of a hassle.

But you can’t go around murdering people you don’t like.

Wow, Paris is higher than I remember.

Aaaaand we’re back!
Not even in the city for an hour before we heard our first air raid siren.
