According to the OP article, he had a knife. LisaL May 2013 #25

Good grief--you're not trying to "up" your post count, are you? MADem May 2013 #107

"per the NYT, this guy said the older brother WAS involved" temmer May 2013 #114

Yes, because the NYT sent their Very Best Ghost Reporter to troll for a comment from a dead guy. MADem May 2013 #115

Bailey did live in Waltham, not in Watertown. Relation confirmed/nT temmer May 2013 #89

Where are you from? Not the Bay State, I take it. MADem May 2013 #103

"A guy growing weed in Watertown isn't necessarily related to a guy selling weed in Waltham." temmer May 2013 #113

It doesn't matter where he grew the weed. The two towns are very close together, MADem May 2013 #116
