Default Watertown Saved by a Boater

The boating community should hold their heads high with last night’s apprehension of the Marathon bomber. With thousands of local and Federal law enforcement agents searching the area for 12 hours it was a dedicated boater that discovered him.

I only hope that his boat wasn’t too badly damaged and it’s ready for the season.

Cheers to the owner!

Sucks. Does not look good for him and his boat.
"That boat's his baby. He takes care of it like you wouldn't believe. And they told him it's all shot up," Pizzuto said. "He's going to be heartbroken."

I feel comfortable in saying I would sacrifice my boat to get that scumbag off the street.

I'm sure he will get compensated for the damage even if the city/town/state picks up the tab but it would be an interesting situation if he dropped insurance coverage in the winter months then he would be in a jam.

My question is 'WHAT IN THE HELL WERE THEY SHOOTING AT?" All those clowns dressed up in their tactical gear spraying lead all over a residential area and the best they could do is nick him in the neck? I say that it should be ''back to the range for the whole bunch of them untill they can prove that they are ready for live ammo!
It's very fortunate that innocent civillians wern't killed or wounded.

That is exactly right.

Wonder if his insurance will try and duck the claim under the terrorism exclusion.

They should find the clowns that couldn't shoot and take it out of their checks!
