He wasn’t much of a cool hand.

[Chickensoup]

Yeah but they are allowed to have them, not you.

“Sweat is bleeding badly, according to the source who called his wounds ‘life-threatening.’”

He’s down! He’s incapacitated! Punch him in the wound a few times for good measure, ya p*ssies!

Yeesh! Do I have to solve EVERY problem these days? ;)

Thanks for the belly laugh.

Do you solve problems outside of WI? ;)

“so-called maximum security prison”... From what I have seen, that place was run like a “Frat House”....

Pepper isn’t often found in a remote wooded area. I wonder if you could train dogs to search for pepper?

[Boomer]

Good. Maybe FOX News will put something else for a change on its from page.

Sheesh! I realize they are in NY but really... don’t they realize they are a national publication?

A whole lot of nothing about nothing.

Saves putting him up at $35,000 or so per year for the rest of his miserable life.

Sergeant Jay Cook of the New York State Police was on patrol alone when he spotted "a suspicious man walking down a roadway" at about 3:20 p.m. local time.

Cook called out to the individual, and when he turned the officer recognized him as Sweat, police said.

The fugitive took off running and the officer shot him twice in the torso, police said. Sweat was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The Border Patrol guy who got Matt got 3 hits in the cabeza with a rifle, moving (and eventually falling) target.

That’s pretty good shooting.

He was from Vermont. We don't screw around.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Looks like in addition to being shot, he may have “resisted” with his face.

You mean besides electing Socialist Sanders and Communist Dean.

Sure was. But I would have preferred the SOB die a slow painful death, considering what he had done to his elderly victim...

"He [Richard Matt] killed a 76-year-old businessman by breaking his neck, then cut up the body and threw the pieces into a river.

(snip)

The victim was a food broker named William Rickerson who had hired and then fired Matt.

(snip)

On Dec. 4, 1997, according to the trial testimony of an accomplice, Matt beat Rickerson with a knife sharpener, bound him with duct tape, tossed him in the trunk of a car, and then drove around for 27 hours looking for a place to kill and bury him.

At one stop on the drive, Matt opened the trunk, broke four of Rickerson's fingers, hit him in the chest with a steering wheel locking device, then shut the trunk and kept driving.

The accomplice testified that Matt had him turn down a cul-de-sac, stop the car and open the trunk again. He said Matt told him: "You know, I've had enough of this."

He said Matt reached in and twisted Rickerson's head. "I heard a pop," the accomplice testified, and the businessman "just dropped back in the trunk." Matt cut off the arms and legs with a hacksaw, authorities said.

A fisherman discovered the torso in the Niagara River."
