Thou art not supposed to do such dumb things.

[wastedyears]

Darwin Award Candidate?

Honorary Mention?

[cyclotic]

No, a .40 point blank in the head would have been an over-reaction, but just a slight one.

This idiot is extremely lucky to still be drawingd breath

[tje]

This is the equivalent of yelling ‘Fire!’ in a theater. I hope they put a high price on her stupidity.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

She was carrying a hoax device but was charged with carrying a hoax device. Clearly overcharging.

One of the most stunningly stupid stunts in memory. Throw the book at her, lock her up and throw away the ket. To encourage the others.

[FreePaul]

I found out a long time ago that being admitted to MIT or graduating from there doesn’t necessarily mean a person is smart. Also applies to other institutions.

[Grimmy]

Yet more proof that the herd needs culling.

[Kimmers]

I wonder if the lawyer would have over reacted if she had walked into his office dressed in the latest bomb wear.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

The quest for attention has become nearly pathological at this point.

All part of the culture of popularity.

[sigSEGV]

From looking at it, I don’t think she intended it to look like a bomb. It was more of a “geek” thing. Probably not the brightest thing to do, though.

[martin_fierro]

Nolo Contendre.

[Not just another dumb blonde]

Good. That’s one democrat not able to vote next year. How can people be so stupid?

[11th Commandment]

and had told an airport worker that the device was art.

Well, there you go...

[Malsua]

Everyone knows that suicide bombers always wear the bomb vests outside their clothing with blinking lights and wires exposed.

These troopers need to stop watching movies.

[Americanexpat]

I think she knew exactly what she was doing. If she had not been detained and charged she would have been to the local nedia saying that Homeland Security and airport security do not work because she walkked around with this fake bomb around her name and no one stopped her. She wantes tp play the game so take it all the way and throw the book at her.

[syriacus]

I guess she took this photograph of a fire at MIT

She seems to be drawn to "critical" situations.

[nyyankeefan]

Lawyer: Fake Bomb Charge an Overreaction...

put her in jail for 10 years ~ then it can be discussed...

[blam]

A smug idiot...throw her butt in jail for along time.

[hermgem]

Was she testing waters (knowingly or unknowingly) for someone strapping the real thing?
To let her go free will encourage others including those with a hot charge.

[longtermmemmory]

This lawyer is just fishing for PR for himself. He has a loser case and a client who will plea. This will get him some much needed PR.

This is where good lawyering and lawyer self interest diverge.

Perhaps we should make a blanket rule that NO lawyer, state or otherwise is permitted to comment about their current cases and representations.

[Your Nightmare]

Looks like it lights up into a star.
