    It sounds like catching this kid will be tough.

    This whole story has irritated the hell out of me for, what, a couple years? I live up in the general area that this jackass has been hiding out. He's a jackass, his mother is at least as big a jackass, if not bigger, and the police look like jackasses for letting it go on this long. And now this kid is being treated as a folk hero by idiots who clearly have never had their home broken into. Will someone please just catch this idiot and take his mom away with him?

    Most folk heroes started as criminals.

    Nothing romantic about him. Just a psychopath with a petty psychopathy.

    Aaaahhhh, another front page story on him today!!!! This time, he cut his hand breaking into an ATM. So he's not indestructable!

    In a case complete irony, a Seattle screen printing company is making t-shirts of this jackass, and of course, the company is owned by a friend of mine. Apparently they've sold over 300 shirts, though, in some fairness, 25 percent of the proceeds are going to help at risk kids (or something).
