Shawshank revisited

[Geary]

New York Police Maj. Charles Guess said, "We've got a man combing the beach in Zihuatanejo .." Those two are long gone.

That's a good one! I've been trying to remember that name but forget about spelling it.

I hope they send a card if they are there so we can stop looking for them and save some taxpayer's money.

[flatbutt]

Apparently they had inside help from a prison employee who provided the tools. But that still doesn't explain how they could hide the noise.

[onlycafe]

maybe this?

[widgeon13]

It's all pretty strange if you ask me.

Inmates being given special privileges when they are in for life?? These two scumbags were allowed to wear street clothes and be in a special section of a high security prison.

Once again PC completely gone amuck! Like they deserve any special treatment after murdering a few folks and dismembering the body of one guy.

[Chocaholic]

Well, right now they're making the entire police/security team look like buffoons.

LEO"s got nothin!

Comments of a local.........

"My wife and I love to be outdoors," he told the AP. "We haven't done any of that, and when we do go outside now, we're armed."

This will help making New Yorkers stronger against the "Safe Act", that's about it.

If you've never spent a day or night in the Adirondacks, the black flies and mosquitos can be un relenting.

Seems to be two schools of thought on this.

1) Over estimating their plan: The break was so complex, well planned and executed that the two must have also planned a complex getaway once free, with several options. They "set up" Mitchell as an accomplice to drive them away, but were never really going to use her. Her failure to show was not a problem because they had some other way to get from the scene and anything Mitchell might say would lead authorities in the wrong direction. The remains of commissary food was just part of the deception. They are long gone.

2) Typical convicts: As complicated as the escape was, they had a very simple plan once free. The getaway fell apart when Mitchell failed to show. They are together and now wandering the region close to the prison as they had no fallback plan. Time and the elements will, eventually, flush them out.

Which of the two is correct will only be known when they are found, sooner (#2) or later (#1)--if ever (#1).

What I'd like to know is, what happened to the power tools they used? I can't believe they took them with them (in the guitar case some witnesses say they saw a man carrying). Possibly, they have been recovered at the scene but the police have not disclosed that.

Our beloved governor Cuomo is now confessing they don't have a clue, pretty discouraging.

Just talked to our friends in Cadyville and their house has been searched THREE times (in the last few days) by anywhere from 4 to 8 law enforcement officers at one time.

[daepp]

Prison guards want convicts to have every luxury possible to keep them easy to guard.

[widgeon13]

That's probably true but they don't make the rules.

These two guys were in for life and yet could wear street clothes and had special privileges. It's not a country club just more PC BS.

[widgeon13]

Costing the state $1 million a day to continue the search in the immediate area and no joy so far.

The residents are actually setting up R&R areas for the searchers and LEO's, what a fiasco.

Now the political jabbing is starting as well, blame game for things like budget cuts etc.

[daepp]

In CA, I'm afraid they do.

[widgeon13]

Looks like the local effort might be winding down some. They have been put on the FBI Most wanted listing, surprising no one has seen anything of them.

They're probably in the gallery out at Chambers Bay for the US Open and already received their first welfare check.

Free cheese, an Obama phone and gov't scholarships for training to be OTR truck drivers. Pulse a Vote for Hillary bumper sticker.

Who says they can't be rehabilitated?

[widgeon13]

They are sitting somewhere having a few beers and laughing their asses off at us knowing they fooled everyone.

Perhaps they'll request amnesty.

[widgeon13]

These guys have been wet, cold and hungry for two weeks.

Leo's haven't a clue.

I think we need to get the WH in this!

[onlycafe]

the hunt goes on.... just reported to be in the bolivar-friendship area.

Could be, but if they're smart they aren't doing it in the same bar. They would be foolish to remain together when the law is looking for a pair of escapees.

[widgeon13]

DNA found 20 miles from Dannemora but still no bodies. Looks like they are still together.

More heavy rain last night and the bugs are still bugging! They must be praying to be caught by now.
