Some of you called it on this, but I honestly think a lot of you were just shotgunning every character name you could think. I WAS tempted to make the culprit nobody that’s been in the strip, just to fuck with people, but the plot didn’t allow for it.
Lord, already one hell of a week. Let’s listen to something amazing!
Shut up, I like it.
It’s not like she would kill him, it would be just medium distance surgical removal of some things he will not need in the ”Pound me in the ass” federal prison.
You mean he isn’t going to a white-collar, minimum-security resort?
he doesn’t have enough money for that.
For first degree ARSON?
Does that sound like a corporate crime, to you?
I think the arson charge is the least of his worries considering the repercussions of the destruction of his intended target. A gun shop is no ordinary building …
I’m no lawyer but I think that there could be a case made for: manufacturing WMD, possession of WMD, unlicensed manufacture of explosives, unlicensed possession of explosives, unlicensed use of explosives, willful intent to commit mischief, mayhem & assault… If during his spouting, he claims to have expected the staff to be on hand… four charges of premeditated first degree murder. Given Mick’s uncle Omar is Turkish… maybe even work in a hate crime charge. I’d wager that there’s probably at least another half dozen charges I’m not thinking of.
Considering that he talked about it, it’s even possible that they could double the charges by adding, “Conspiracy to…” the front of all of the charges.
Given that he’s a minwage clock puncher… no crack legal team for him. Coffee boy is going away to club fed for a long time.
“Providing a firearm or causing, through action and/or negligence, a firearm to be available to someone not qualified to be in possession of that firearm,” once for each functioning gun pulled from the rubble.
Oh, wait. Is that actually an offence? It probably isn’t.
coffee boy is gonna die in jail, but I don’t think it’ll take all that long. He has a mouth, and inmates have opinions on what those should and shouldn’t be used for…
Logical suspect is logical.
Ahh, Die Antwort. Fucking great, even better metallized.
For some effin reason I get Vin Diesel vibes from the fed…
…um, did Omar happen to wear gloves while he was making those pipe-bombs? I keep thinking of all these nasty permutations involving =fingerprints=…
If they went up then they would have to be pretty low pressure to leave fragments big enough to get prints off. If they didn’t then I doubt the prints could survive the fire unless they were inside (not an expert here).
Either way I think he’s in the clear.
He should be more worried about dna they now know it can survive fires
“How about 1k yards?”
“Still no.”
Heh. There was a similar fight at Marvel, over the Green Goblin. Ditko wanted him to be a new, unknown character. Stan Lee wanted him to be Norman Osborne, just for the extra angst. And Ditko quit because Stan Lee got his way.
LOVE her reaction. It’s like looking in a mirror…
Yup, knew it from the earlier issue of this dipshit getting angry about not being hired for the store. I suspected that he was going to be trouble…..
Ah this makes me smile. Called it!
Huh..and here I was, thinking it was Alex’s whackjob ex come back from the past who dunnit..
Douglas?
Why was his name “Rich” during the interview?
He lied.
somehow I suspect, on the hover over text, that Alex’s final reply of “Curses.” is far FAR too tame for what she’d actually say.
*Douglas* Birmingham? Wait, in this strip he filled in “Rich” or “Richard” on a job application, or on his résumé.
His name could be Douglas Richard Birmingham… or he could have lied on his job application… who knows.
Word of God (aka. Jlgrant) is that he lied.
The real Richard would stay at scene explaining very convincingly that the gunshop attacked him. Unbelievers would fwoshed.
Hah, I called him a stalker in the strip where he applied to the gun shop. Good to see that it wasn’t unfounded.
I love the agent’s reaction to Alex asking for the perp to be let out for a short walk.
Didn’t see it coming. Which is way, way better than the alternatives.
