That picture is so crazy I'm not even going to get snippy about it being oversized.

Edit: I couldnt let it go...

Thank you, it bugged me too. Thanks for fixing it.

Also bothers me that on the webpage, they cut off the lower part of the pic. In the paper, you can see the man on the ground's entire body sprawled out. Has more impact.

i think the guy should have maybe turned a little to the left, so we could see more of his face. maybe combed his hair a bit.

Yeah, weird day. Woke up and was excited about announcing me and my girlfriend's engagement and slightly annoyed at having to work as part of the marathon route intersects the town I deliver mail in. Didn't really care about either of those after hearing the news.

As bad as yesterday was, your engagement is too good of news not to address. Congrats, JB!

My first thought was "that cop in the middle looks like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2"

i've seen that old dude in the orange tank in every race i've ever been attended.

he was also the guy in the bomb footage whose knees buckled and sent him to the ground in a flailing mess.

Well I'll be damned. Ol' Shiverhead. Done went and did it.

Prolly deserves it's own thread but somehow this seems appropriate that something good should go in this thread.

Congrats man. Way to get it done. Enjoy this time.

he also works the booth at the nude beach near Sunny Isles handing out sunscreen and naturist brochures, or so I'm told

Can you provide examples? I usually avoid Reddit, and don't feel like sifting for waldo.

Shit is getting real in Boston again. Stay safe people.

Whole city is on lockdown. Most people's work canceled. We are just staying indoors... My work is about 2 miles from where the kid is holed up

Hopefully the one that's left is in a basement somewhere right now, surrounded, trying to summon up the guts to just pull the trigger on himself for his final act of cowardice.

So, it looks like the internet got it right?

I live between MIT / Harvard and Watertown. Watching the massive numbers of cop cars / SUV's / troop transports whiz past. Helicopters overhead, police scanner link online going so I can hear all the false alarms. I'd be happy to never have this happen again.

I'm at work and they're not letting us leave. we've been doing nothing for the last 3 hours.
