Richard W. Matt, one of the convicted murderers who staged an elaborate escape from New York’s largest prison nearly three weeks ago, was killed on Friday in a burst of gunfire by federal agents, two people with knowledge of the situation said.

Report I saw was it was an attempted carjacking, and both were together at the time. Guy in camper (carjack-ee) got away and called 911. Cops there quick and shot first one.

Shortly thereafter, shots exchanged with the other one.

So, will be over shortly.

OK thanks. First I heard it confirmed that they were together.

Yep, they should find him pretty soon.

What idiots, they had it made. If you can call it that-—in prison with a lot of sex with a woman. One of them over a hundred times.

He’s a racist homosexualist leftist has been

That is not what I said.

Again, He’s a racist homosexualist leftist has been

Racist: On Fox news he used a racial slur to describe Michelle Malkin. On the O’Reilly factor.

Later he came back on the O’R show to apologize, but did nothing of the kind.

He and his pompous egomaniac friend O’Reilly said a few meaningless words then congratulated themselves on Jeraldo’s fake apology.

Up until that time, Malkin was even guest hosting the ORFactor (I believe) on Fridays.

She never came back to Fox News for years.

Homosexualist: That’s somebody that supports the homosexual agenda. He and O’Reilly both fit that description.

Leftist: Pretty obvious.

Has been: Actually more accurate would be Never Was, except in his own mind.

Same thing. If he supports the queer agenda, he supports faggots molesting boys. Marxism, fascism, queerdom, islam...it's all hooked together.

Just clearing the air because when someone posts a question as you did, it appears the recipient of the reply said it.

I get you point, but it is not the same thing.

If you lived in NYC you would probably leave them at your cabin to

Hmmm, you're right.

Since it is personal to you, I’ll post my theory to you.

I learned from reports yesterday that there is construction in process at the prison and lots of noise. the construction noise masked the noise of cutting the perfectly square opening in the 1/4” thick steel escape pipe.

A guard much earlier accessed the utility corridor/catwalk and ran electrical cords into the cell(s) to permit cooking.

Conclusion:
There was widely available access to the utility corridor and the escape pipe. A skilled craftsman with a tape measure, square, and side grinder cut the near perfect opening in the 1/4” steel pipe. The skilled craftsman was not the escapees but someone paid to do the job.

The brains of the escape is still at large and as intended, heading toward Canada

I was born in NYC and finally left when I was 30.

You absolutely cannot believe, unless you are unusually well-informed, the scope of NYC gun laws.

As a condition of the merger of the five boroughs in 1898, Albany agreed that NYC could legislate on many subjects normally reserved to a State.

The Sullivan Act, passed in 1911, mandates one year in jail for illegal possession. And it’s routinely enforced (unless you are rich). And, virtually all possession is illegal. Even Plaxico Burris, AFTER catching the winning TD in the Super Bowl, went to prison (although for AD in a club, not simple possession).

NYC’s gun laws cannot possibly be constitutional. But there are so many of them that a legal attack is like climbing Everest.

If you want to follow this story, I recommend @EditorLois on Twitter.

The Press-Republican paper in Plattsburgh is all over this story, they've done an amazing job (put the big boys to shame), and they update their tweets on their website frequently.

They can't have that many reporters or stringers, but they sure are getting it done.

Your theory makes sense. I couldn’t figure out how they knew where to go once through the wall, but they made it to freedom right under the guards’ noses. I am sure that dipsy broad couldn’t have planned it.

Thank you. However, I was referring to the Colorado story the poster mentioned.

You know what I find totally fascinating?

Do you ever hear the name of the Clinton Correctional facility warden or superintendent or whatever he's (she's) called?

No you don't.

We're a couple of weeks into the escape drama and not one person in a million knows who is in charge of this cozy Club Fed prison.

We hear about and from the prison guards and tailor shop personnel...all the way up to the various law enforcement brass and even to the top, Governor Cuomo.

But evidently, the guy (or guy-ette) who personally runs the institution is being protected, is in hiding, or doesn't exist at all...and the institution was run by the inmates (and it looks like it probably was).

If anyone knows who the resident Big Enchilada of the Clinton Graybar Hotel is, please post it here, LOL.

Also, saw on some show there was a dude that spent time in that particular prison, said there was blaring rap music from high-end stereo(s) blasting 24/7 the whole time he was there, you could make all sorts of racket, not be heard. Sounds like a real slipshod operation they had going on at that place.

I would not be so quick to judge Whoraldo as not being queer...especially after that little “selfie” in his bath towel.

I knew a guy who left his cabin in PA unlocked.

People would find it and use it whatever, and if it was locked, they’d vandalize it as *thanks* for being locked.

Easier to let them use it and not put up with vandals they’d never catch.

However, the water turn on valve was VERY well hidden.

NY Troopers are very professional, but don’t mess with them.
