When police notice you causing a ruckus in, oh, say, a CVS on Morrissey Boulevard, and the officer asks why you have blood on your hands, the best way to reply is probably not to ask him "Why don't you tell me why I have blood on my hands?"

Also? If it's raining and you're going to go around East Boston (allegedly, natch) attempting to steal stuff out of people's mailboxes, you might want to wear something other than a plastic garbage bag as a raincoat. That tends to stick out in people's minds.

Innocent until proven guilty.
