crime scene.

We still don't have any idea what happened since we couldn't find it in the news anywhere, but Friday night, we saw all sorts of commotion, fighting, and yelling outside the Prudential food court. Then a bunch of guys started running down the stairs and down the street with police chasing after them. Tons of ambulances arrived and cops were speeding down Boylston trying to catch the guys. Because Chels and I are the nosiest people in the world, we watched. Some cops eventually came back and had a guy in handcuffs. I wanted to take pictures but I felt rude. Hence why I would be the worst journalist in the world. Chels and I got dangerously close to the scene of the crime and asked a cameraman from channel 4 what happened. He told us it was a stabbing, but we're not really sure since we didn't see them put anyone in an ambulance. They taped the whole terrace off with "crime scene, do not cross" yellow tape, but somehow Chels and I wandered into the area and got stuck in it. We just wanted to get down the stairs, but it was all taped off and we had nowhere to go. We were the only people on the scene except for a detective examining the ground. Finally, the detective saw us sketchily standing there and told us to just go under the tape. So we did. And we thought it was funny so we took a picture.

The best part was when my mom called and I said, "I think there was just a stabbing across the street from us" and she said, "Do you think maybe you should just go home?" "Hmm probably," I said, as we walked across the street to get closer.


I totally want to be a detective. Watching more CSI ASAP.

I think I could be your third for a "nosiest people in the world" trio. I nose around the craziness of NYC all the time, all the while hoping not to get shot/stabbed/run over by a bus/injected with HIV.

How is it that there was a camera crew there but NO NEWS! Now I'm just wanting to know WHAT happened! Maybe brother knows...I'll get back to you.

Nice!

Fuzzy boots....Uggs? (or however you spell it). Supposedly very comfy boots, as people in S. FL wear them, and it isn't because it is cold! Well at least what qualifies as cold down here (anything under 65).

There is little more frustrating than when you know something bad is happened and can't find anything on the news about it. It is sooo annoying. . .

It's weird that there's no news about it. Hmm...perhaps a cover up or conspiracy?! I think I watch TOO many cop/detective shows :)

Peter said...

Ooooooooh. Can you do a southern accent? You can be Emily Procter from CSI Miami!

me & them said...

Gotta love morbid fascination - we live in the 'good part' of a 'bad area' - so I drive through the seedy bits to other places - and there's always some sort of activity going on - I like to think of my suburbs crime as my very own, and when brought into conversation it's like "Oh, I was totally there". Yep, I'm nosy.

And the thing with the yellow tape..it's like the more you know you're not supposed to be there, the more exciting it is!

Agree with Peter - Emily rocks!
