Tue, Apr 15 - 11:09 pm EDT | 59 mins ago by Stephen Kersey
A 25-year-old fashion student named Kayvon Edson has been arrested after he placed two suspicious backpacks near the finish line at the Boston Marathon. Authorities were initially worried that the bags contained bombs, however they turned out to be confetti-filled rice cookers.
It’s unknown what crimes the police will charge him with. Considering the seriousness of the situation, he could end up going to prison. However, many of his friends are saying it was simply a matter of performance art. In fact, there is a petition making the rounds on social networks for him to be spared all criminal punishment since what he did should be considered artwork.
