Wait a minute - let me get this straight.
First the MBTA guy might have gotten shot by "friendly fire"? . Then there's the guy that was taking pictures of the two brothers out his second floor window while they were engaged in that firefight with the cops on that Watertown street:
PICTURES AND EYEWINESS ACCOUNT OF THE WATERTOWN SHOOTOUT « The Burning Platform - so it's plainly obvious that if a civilian had happened to be there at the time, with a rifle - and a halfway decent shot - a civilian could have taken them both out ? Rather easily actually from the looks of the pictures.?
Then the cops bring in probably thousands of other officers - and after all of that - they can't find the kid? So they lift the stay inside order - and a civilian finds the kid in the back of his boat - where (once again) - he could have rather easily taken him out if he had a gun - because he actually poked his head in and SAW him in there - vs. the cops who showed up - couldn't get the flash-bangs into the boat - shot the crap out of the boat - and still didn't kill the kid - but apparently shot the crap out of somebody's computer room.
Oh yeah - and we're finding out that the kids were on welfare for at least some part of their lives - the mother was a shoplifter - and the younger brother might have had a brand new Camaro (like a $35,000 car if I remember correctly) - and the older brother was going to a state school - with financial help?
This story just gets more awesome by the day. This is the kind of crap you just can't make up - and could probably only happen in Massachusetts.
At first I thought the movie of that week would be made by Ben Affleck - now I'm thinking the Farrelly brothers will likely be the ones to make it.
