hmmm. Almost certain the garden style apartment they are talking about is my old neighborhood. Glad to be out of there myself, but my heart breaks for those kids. Just hope it was none of the boys who used to come around to play with our dog.
People who went to highschool with him at Bishop O'Connell were calling into DC101 this morning. Amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to say "I knew him when..."
To the first commenter: What precisely do you mean by "go figure"?
To the second commenter: I was a friend of Mr. Boucher's roommate. I visited there several times, and was freaked out that all those teenagers seemed to hang out there. However, unless one wishes to totally jetisson the idea of personal responsibility, I most certainly *cannot* say that my heart goes out to these "victims." They were 16 or 17 years old and knew *exactly* what they were doing. Eric Boucher is an evil, manipulative scumbucket -- but so were these "kids," and one can only hope that life will give to them the punishment that they deserve, too.
