I'm probably just a cantankerous, grouchy old man, but GOOD say I. This belongs in the "What the hell were you thinking?" file. She looks so smug in that photo.

I have yet to see a pic where she doesn't appear to be smug, and likely wrapped up in how her "ironic postmodern statement" (I'm making that one up) has caused such a stir.

I really don't understand how anyone could know so much about a person from just a few photos. What I do know is that she had a breadboard attached to her sweatshirt, with lit green LEDs in the shape of a star. Oh yeah, and also that her name happens to be Star. Also a universally recognizable pattern of lights. Clearly then, it was a hoax explosive device and she deserves to do hard time.

The irrationality of humans never cease to amaze me, and no, I'm not talking about Star Simpson. The DAs office especially should be ashamed of themselves in this case for continuing to try to destroy an innocent person's life.

Looking at that Globe photo of the state trooper pointing to a breadboard containing nothing but LEDs and a battery makes me sick to my stomach. As though he were making some sort of point, instead of simply making an ass of himself for being so ignorant (I might as well include a disclaimer here saying that I don't know what point the statie was trying to make, it's just a photo after all).

I guess we all see what we want to; to me, she looks neutral in that photo. Would you prefer it if she were in tears of contrition?
