The thing I don’t get with the ASL “interpreters” is the facial expressions as they “translate”. Some look similar to the ones I made while dealing with a 6mm kidney stone and my wife’s childbirth looks.

SHOCKING DETAILS that further reveal security issues at Brown University. Why is a homeless man sleeping in the basement of the school building?

A homeless guy and former Brown graduate helped police crack the case. But there is more to the story.

According to my sources, the homeless guy told police he sleeps in the basement of the Barus and Holley building. Earlier in the day, before the shooting, he said he saw the suspect in the basement area and followed him out.

As the homeless guy is trying approach the suspect, he sees him walk toward his car and unlock it. But then he locks it, when he noticed the homeless guy.

After the shooting, the homeless man posted on Reddit saying, “I’m being dead serious. The police need to look into a grey Nissan with Florida plates, possibly a rental.” The post went on to say, “I know because he used his key fob to open the car, approached it and then something prompted him to back away. When he backed away, he relocked the car. I found that odd so when he circled the block I approached the car that is when I saw the Florida plates.”

It was that Reddit post that eventually led police to the shooters car picked up on Flock cameras (police just put in a car description and can track cars captured on flock cameras).

While police credit this man for cracking this case— it still begs the question of what kind of security measures are in place at the Ivy League school, that a homeless person could just be sleeping in basement

I like the part where the big tip that led police to the suspect came from a homeless former Brown student that was living in the basement of the Brown physics building where the murders took place.

The killer and MIT professor were classmates in Portugal in the 90s. The killer was a legal permanent resident of the USA. The killer was let in under our Diversity Visa program.

I wonder what it was about the guy whose profile was scrubbed from their website? And why did they do it when they did it? Wholly unrelated apparently, but I suspect at the time they felt the need to do it for some reason.

For the life of me I cannot understand why schools are so lax on security then are surprised when that leads to bad things.

This was an early Joe Pesci/Brandon Frasier movie based at Harvard. Forget the name. Early/mid 80's

Kind of like in the old "Police Squad!" TV show when the guy inside a wastebasket or toilet bowl would pop his head out and give Leslie Nielsen's character a clue that would help wrap the case up...
