    Yeah. Also interesting that the boat where the suspect was hiding was outside the perimeter of the search zone where the authorities had been conducting their house-to-house searches all day, and that the tip came in within *minutes* of the "shelter in place, all you vulnerable citizens, while we protect you" order being lifted. The homeowner went outside to get some air and check his property. So thank a private business for the initial video of the suspects, and thank an "ordinary" citizen for the observation that led to the second suspect's capture.

    Guess who's presecuting? I'm watching the live stream from ABCnews and who should I see muscle her way in front of the mic but Carmen Ortiz. Yep, the one of Aaron Swartz fame. God! It would be such a travesty if she should escape responsibility for bullying Aaron by riding the political prestige to be had from punishing this nut job bomber.
