Auntie Charo's Soapbox

"There is reason for us all to worry. They are very desperate and have nothing to lose. Especially Pangelinan who already has life w/o parole. He could kill any number of people and what more could they do to him. Hopefully his family and friends will play a role in his capture/surrender. It reflects on the family and they should realize it. I'm sure they're stressed as well. Or should be. It's a real concern in that the longer they are on the run the more desperate they will become and more unpredictable. And they could be just about anywhere. Doesn't seem they'd remain in any area where they know they are being looked for. Now Robert has the entire prison locked down and with the overcrowding at DOC and being in a cell for 23 hours a day you can be sure that tempers are flaring. Don't be surprised to read or hear about some bad things happening at DOC in these circumstances. "

I totally agree with the reader's opinion. These guys know they're in so much trouble that there's nothing to lose....they've probably got guns...they'll shoot the cops, anyone who's in the way then shoot themselves... There are two camps in prison. On camp prays for the safety of the two and for others and their safe return. The other camp leaps with joy that the two were able to get out. They are the ones who jump for joy, wishing that they too could have escaped. These are the ones who the reader writes about being stressed. They are the ones perhaps who miss their smokes. Being locked down means that they have no means to let out the pent up energy. No exercize, just nervous/anxious energy waiting to explode....alas...with few guards standing watch.

I can't stress the need for prayer...for the prisoners, the ones that have escaped, the ones still imprisoned, for those that are searching and for the innocent that may get in the way.....and for thanksgiving that so far, we've been spared death or injury because of the two escapees.
