BOSTON (CBS) – On the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, Boylston Street was evacuated and two bags were detonated by the Bomb Squad near the finish line.

One of the bags was being carried by a barefoot man who was wearing a long black veil and screaming “Boston Strong.” That man has been identified by sources as 25-year-old Kayvon Edson.

A source tells WBZ-TV that when Edson was stopped by police, he told them he had a rice cooker in his bag. That is when the Bomb Squad was called to the scene.

A source tells CBS News that the rice cooker in the bag was full of confetti.

Edson is charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and possession of a hoax device.

When I come across people having a ‘situation’, I make no eye contact at all, unless I have to. Then, I keep a flat expression, so my exasperation or confusion doesn’t show and ‘challenge’ them.

Protip: Should you encounter a Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Skunk Ape do not make eye contact or bare your teeth in a smile.

Either is regarded as a challenge. Both together? You're going to have a very bad day...

I wasn’t expecting “Kayvon” to exhibit such a high albedo.

That's no reflection on you...

Actually in this case I was. Rice cooker and confetti doesn't fit the thug mentality. On the other hand an African Queen may have fit the profile.

Mental illness enhanced by progressive public education.

I’m starting to think that civilizations come apart because increased wealth leads to increased survival which leads to decreased gene pool cleaning which finally culminates in saturation levels of crazy.

Pop goes the weasel.
