Headline: Busted! or Monster
My personal favorite Post Headline is the most obvious...you get one guess.
Oh man, that sounds like the worst job in the whole world.
"So, he looks like a good boy. I bet he was a good boy, can you tell me what he liked to do? His favorite sports."
It would be a help to society if this guy were tried, and, if guilty, executed within a couple of weeks.
Well, that's not gonna happen. There's a ritual involved...
>>>In the old days, cops would walk the perps to the car and the press photographers with Speed Graphic cameras would be lined up yelling obscenities and racial slurs at them in attempts to get the perps to look mean or crazed<<<.
Your experience is being which?
A Racist photograghper or a Crazed looking Punk Perp?
Your "Old Days" the '90's, 80's (your Grade School Days?)

Seriously, are all their crime reports this detailed and wordy, not to mention sympathetic sounding to the perp?
Damn. I've never faced anything that serious. I hope I never make you mad.
I love the Post's headlines and I'm not going to guess.Whatever it is,it'll be good! :-)
It is a horrible story but I admire the young actress, Nicole. I would hope I could stand up to thugs like that.
For the longest time when watching a movie and someone pulls a gun on a person, like in King of Comedy when Jerry Lewis has a gun pulled on him, I wonder "why would anybody get into a car with someone who just pulled a gun on them?"
Later, some expert was on some Fox show, pitching a book, and he said you shouldn't get into a car if someone pulls a gun on you, first, you're then totally at their mercy. Second, if they shoot you in a city, you have a better chance to survive then if they drive you way out into the country and shoot you in a field.
Some people might think you should try to stay alive, no matter what, or if you only have to hand over your wallet or whatever, but once a monster pulls a gun on you, they may take your wallet, order you to sodomize your best friend, and then shoot you anyway.
It's so hard though, because it might not just be you, it might be like this where a scum rat pulls a gun on you and a group of your friends, what if you step up and say "what are you going to do? Shoot me?" and they shoot your best friend instead?
I live in one of the safest cities in America but I think about these things all the time.
That pretty much ended in the 1970s. The king of that was a guy named Arthur Felig -- who went by the name Weegee. Later he was called an "artist." Reporters had army surplus tank radios in their cars that could be tuned to the police frequencies to get to the crime scenes often before the first patrol car...
I was neither a venom spewing reporter or a crazed punk. But I did know some of those old time reporters and the stories they told were terrific.
I personally went to this thread wanting a look at the perp. I wanted an object to focus my anger upon. I guess I will just google the name and see if I can find one.

(what else?)
I am so glad they got him, if he is guilty, then hang him high.
