Shocking. I don't care if this was real or some sort of sick prank. If the person in custody is the one then they should never be free again

I'm not sure which is sicker - the guys last year that pulled the terror attack, or the guy this year, if it was a prank, that thought this would be "funny".

There was also the 14 year girl that tweeted to American Airlines

The girl, identified only as Sarah, was briefly taken into custody Monday, a day after she sent a tweet to @AmericanAir with the message: “hello my name is Ibrahim and I’m from Afghanistan. I’m part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I’m gonna do something really big bye."

Another joke and she can't figure out why it wasn't funny. Lots of STUPID people in the world

I guess we should just give him a hug

Or, you know, people could not lose their **** over anything remotely related to terrorism or that kind of reminds them of terrorism, and actually let the justice system give this guy a punishment that fits the actual crime.

The punishment needs to be harsh so people quit doing this stupid crap. It is serious and if people can't understand that, maybe some time in jail will help them understand.

We let way to many people have 2nd, 3rd, and more chances.

Apparently the second bag was left by a news crew - who identified it as theirs and asked to retrieve it Yet, the way I read the articles, the BPD detonated it anyway (??)

Not sure I understand that.

The media also needs to stop shamelessly milking the tragedy last year for ratings. Maybe idiots/crazies would be less inclined to pull stunts if it didn't feel like they were going to so easily get 15 minutes of fame.

This guy was extremely lucky that the police got to him first. After what the people of Boston dealt with last year had he run into someone less likely to show restraint they might have beat him to death in the street.
