Attorney General Martha Coakley was put in charge of the case and said the companies behind the promotion would be investigated. She said the felony charge of planting a hoax device could be broad enough to allow prosecution even if the stunt’s sponsors did not intend a panic.

“To do this kind of placement of devices the way it was, an individual had to know or should have that it was going to create the kind of panic it did,” Coakley said last night during a press conference.

The AG is somewhat inarticulate, but nonetheless right on the money. The people who placed these devices had to know or should have known that they were going to create the reaction they did.

They placed them in about a dozen cities, some three weeks ago. This pretty much shows that Boston was stupid and only stupid people would think this a threat.
