It is now 3 pm, and I have sat here most of the day watching television, listening to "breaking news" and really seeing nothing. I have seen interviews with people who had little to nothing to say. I have heard relatives, all of who spoke broken English, one uncle said a lot, but I don't know what he was talking about. He gave decisive information, but really had not seen them for many years. Many school chums of his and I suspect some, who really knew nothing of what was going on and wanted their time on TV.
I have seen vehicles of all shapes and sizes, an army of police, FBI, state police, and there just went a pizza delivery car. One poignant question just asked of a student, "Did he date anyone in school?"
I have seen thee guy in the purple tie a number of times. His answers are articulate and his comments are intelligent. The questions and inane and he does his best, and his answers are lengthy, so they love to get him on camera, a brief respite for the newsman.
They have filled over eight hours with short breaks, breaking news, one press conference that said absolutely nothing, held by a governor, mayor, chief of police and state police. I listened intently, like sitting down at a dinner table, hungry, knife and fork in hand, waiting to be fed .... and there is no food....
Just had a split screen interview, with the same guy on both screens, then it was interrupted by a commercial.
Policemen are very good at standing around, some with arms folded, some, hands on hips, 14 in this group, only 1 wearing a hat. They are all looking in the same direction. Apparently they are going from house to house, searching ... for a guy who might be wearing a bomb and well armed, and may be the one who shot a policeman sitting in his car, last night. I can understand their being deliberate.
How was this handled before, OH, right, something like this has never happened here. I have spent too many days in my lifetime, glued to a TV, watching news unfold, and they keep getting worse ....19 years old, good student, college scholarship, well liked ... how, why? ..... There are a lot of law enforcement officers ,,,,, wonder where they all ate lunch? Many cases of water were just handed out ......... in Watertown ....
If they are, in fact on a lockdown, who are all these people wandering around?
We are now hearing from their father .... he seems mad that they shot his son .... they were framed...
