Predictions and conspiracy theories fly as people anticipate the legal process in the aftermath of the bombings – a first after so many violent events ending in the death of the perpetrators
Some predict legal process will frustrate justice (red meat for readers too)
Murdoch other paper in NYC predicts the opposite 
Along with the news of Bloomberg’s new attempt to lord over people’s lives. I don’t smoke anymore and wouldn’t mind if people quit/don’t start. But legislating this is dumb.
And will probably fail as the tobacco industry has even more lawyers than the beverage industry (but less than civil rights/stop&frisk)
The Daily News has a very silly cover on the gun law being voted down in the senate. Not featured on Newseum, my own photo. It’s the speech they would have liked Obama to give, so they make believe he did

Meanwhile the NY Post once again fingers the guilty
Because of their track record, i don’t buy it, Sure enough, it was another lie
The two were also on the Post’s front Thursday with the headline: “Bag men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.” The Post reported later Thursday that the men weren’t considered suspects, and the FBI has since identified two other men as suspects in the bombings Monday

Only the free papers in NYC have some relevant covers.

Mayor Bloomberg: ‘I Have My Own Army’
The complete quote from a speech 2 days ago – explaining why purchasing City Hall was a better deal that White House would be
“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have,” Mayor Bloomberg said.
Mind you, we already knew his personal wealth surpasses the national budget of many nations and he has his own media – bearing his name too. Many of us knew but he now brazenly confirmed that he thinks of New York as his personal kingdom and of the public employees (NYPD) as his personal army. Of course, there’s another implication to this: he openly wages war on the rest of us. Pretenses are over.
and since CNN revealed it to me, here’s the pepper spray lament
