Biggest Idiot of the week so far, and I expect him to hang onto First Place
It will take some doing to out-stupid a performance-art homage to the Boston marathon bombing... at the finish line... on the anniversary... involving a mock-up of a bomb.
BOSTON (CBS) – On the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, Boylston Street was evacuated and two bags were detonated by the Bomb Squad near the finish line.
One of the bags was being carried by a barefoot man who was wearing a long black veil and screaming “Boston Strong.” That man has been identified by sources as 25-year-old Kayvon Edson.
A source tells WBZ-TV that when Edson was stopped by police, he told them he had a rice cooker in his bag. That is when the Bomb Squad was called to the scene.
A source tells CBS News that the rice cooker in the bag was full of confetti. Edson is charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and possession of a hoax device.
