Somerville schools cancel outdoor recesses today as hunt for Cambridge prison escapee continues
By adamg on Thu, 01/05/2017 - 1:28pm
Somerville is e-mailing residents urging them to be on the lookout for James Walker Morales, a Cambridge man wanted for a gun heist who escaped from a federal prison in Rhode Island and who may have robbed a bank in Cambridge's Central Square this morning.
Morales is known to have ties to this area, and police are taking all precautions and actions to assist Massachusetts State Police in the search for Morales. While there is currently no indication of an immediate threat to Somerville residents, please be reminded that Morales may be armed and is considered dangerous, and if you believe you have seen him you should call 911 immediately.
Morales is a 6’ tall black male, weighing approximately 175 pounds, and has a mustache and a large eagle tattoo on his neck.
As a precaution ONLY, outdoor recesses in all Somerville schools have been canceled today, and there will be an increased police presence throughout the City, particularly surrounding schools.

Said the kids...
"It's too goddamn cold for outdoor recess today anyways! Who wants to Pokemon duel in the cafeteria instead?"
Huh? The escaped convict
Huh? The escaped convict raped his friend's daughter. He is a child rapist. It's not a laughing matter.
Where did he say that was funny?
He didn't.
Were you one of those students, you probably wouldn't know much about what this man has done - but you might be happy about not having to go outside.
The crack about Cambaridge
The crack about Cambaridge city school kids whining that it was too cold to go outside and that they wanted to play Pokemon inside instead? Umm, it's right there in his comment.
Those cold hating, Pokémon
Those cold hating, Pokémon loving CambAridge kids!
(Even though it was Somerville schools)
Who needs books?
I mean when you can read that much craziness in a joke that relied on kids not wanting to play outside in the dead of winter and had nothing to do with what criteria the school did/didn't use to determine that it needed to go into lockdown for recess...you must not need to own a Kindle.
watertown pd involved?
id like to have tomorrow off.
Help is on the way
In the new movie "Twelfth Night", hardened Boston cop Tommy O'Shaullivanhan (Mark Wahlberg) tracks down a team of bank robbers that have broken out of a maximum security prison, ending with a memorable scene as he tackles the final robber on the goal line of Gillette Stadium as a crowd cheers and sings "Sweet Caroline" for 10 minutes
And then the cop gets fined by the NFL
for unnecessary roughness on the tackle.

They've locked the doors for all buildings at Lesley University out of an abundance of caution.
Hardly anyone there
Might as well be abundant, in that case ...
