Red Line guy may have tried to strike last month

Red Line guy

The police report on yesterday's Red Line attack said the guy was wanted for another, earlier incident.

The first photo above comes from a March 27 report about a junk waver on the Red Line between Braintree and Broadway. Sure looks like the same guy.

H/t to the anon commenter who has a much better memory for Red Line pervishness than I.

Also, I have not stopped gagging since reading the Red Line story this morning.

So strange, but this guy looks totally familiar to me. I wouldn't say I know him, or could even place how I recognize him. I wonder if he hung around near my office in DTC.

Have you ever watched a Kevin Smith movie?

...I recognize him. He spent some time hanging in Allston at Harvard and Comm. Creepy dude.

If he seems familiar maybe you were interviewed by him... Holliston Patch says that he used to freelance for Patch.

Editor's Note: Howes wrote articles and took photos for Patch as an independent contractor. The last article he wrote for Patch was published nearly a year ago. We wanted to do due diligence in confirming the arrested party and the former Patch contractor were one and the same before including that information in our story.

So maybe this was just some Gonzo journalism?

Could not help but chuckle when the article states that he "voluntarily provided a DNA sample to detectives." The guy's like a mobile ATM for a sperm bank.

Sorry to joke about something so obscenely repulsive and ultimately sad (he's living in a shelter, obviously is in need of professional help and that poor woman...) but really, this is so absurdly gross.

Despite how his page appears and the 420 friends he has there, it certainly shows that Facebook does NOT tell you a lot about a person. It never told you he has been homeless for a while, nor that he has a record of being a perv. I am surprised he had computer access somewhere to keep up with Facebook. Did he write for the Holliston Patch while living in a shelter?

Eeek... I have a mutual friend with him. Small world!
