So in Chicago recently there was a series of suspicious fires - one of which killed four people. Police are talking to "a person of interest". They do that a lot - talk to a "person of interest" instead of talking to a suspect. Sometimes a person of interest becomes a suspect, and sometimes they go right to being charged with a crime.
Do other cities have this "person of interest" terminology? I'm kinda' curious why it's used. It seems "persons of interest" is a superset of "potential suspects," as I think (but am not positive) a person of interest can be a witness too.
And now you're wearing his entrails as a hat. Right, shrift?
My eyeballs feel like sandpaper. I couldn't sleep, so now I'm all woozy. Stoopid daylight savings. Want to call in and go back to bed. Hate job.
tommyrot, I'm pretty sure they used that terminology around the guys they ended up arresting for the Boston litebrite scare.
I seems to me to be a fairly recent term. I wonder if it's related to that guy (Jewel?) who was a suspect in the Olympic bombing thing - his name was all over the press (they kinda' presumed him guilty) and it turned out he didn't do it and he sued a TV network and got a bunch of money.
And now you're wearing his entrails as a hat, right?
Moi?
I try not to do that at work. Makes it difficult to get references.
What I have acquired instead is an order from my supervisor Not To Open The Door, so I am going to drink my coffee and Buff Dive for a while, and listen to my iPod while people knock-knock-knock fruitlessly on the door.

OMG I don't want to be here.
Is it freaky warm everywhere, or is the Weather Channel fucking with me?
There can be pretty much any kind of weather in March, so I don't know how any of it can be categorized as "freaky".
