News Manhunt in New York

Last I checked earlier, it's still going. Is this getting embarrassing?

If you have some good ideas about what should be done to catch the fugitives, perhaps you could share them with law enforcement authorities.

Putting two murderers in close proximity to each other seems to be a big mistake. This is one case where I can understand drones being used. Are they being used?

Prisons do tend to put murderers in close proximity with each other - that's basically what prisons are all about. There's a reason violent offenders are put with other violent offenders, rather than with nonviolent ones.

What do you imagine a drone can do that helicopters can't, in non-hostile territory?

I'm sure that the daily reports of where police are concentrating their search is helping. The escapees, that is.

Apparently, Richard Matt has been shot and killed.

And, as always, the comments to the articles are disgusting.

When will I learn to never, ever, read the comments?! Sigh.

I know, how stupid is this?

It's possible it's happened, but I've never heard of a person living longer than two months on the run without having help. Most humans don't care that other species have dropped in number, but it's not just criminals that will suffer from this. Not bright as a species. No idea why the two would even try something like this.

When a person tortures and kills his former boss you should probably realize there's problems. He should have had his own cell.

The two escapees had adjoining cells. Authorities search for surviving escapee after 1 convict killed - Nation - The Boston Globe

ETA: There are "problems" with all murderers.

Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. (Just like Genghis Khan didn't come as an under-reported surprise to most of the rest of us.) Not just 2, but more than 220 escaped prisoners on the loose across U.S.
