Mad props to Ace Cowboy, investigative journalist/cameraman extraordinaire, whose videos of Wednesday night’s terrible shooting in the Village (one block away from his apartment) have been picked up by all sorts of media outlets.  I didn’t get a chance to read his post or see the videos until after I arrived in Boston last night.  After doing so, I knew they were special, but I didn’t realize how special until I woke up at 8:50 this morning after missing a call and listened this voicemail:

“Hi Jas, it’s your mother.  Listen, [National News Show] called asking about some footage that your friend shot – they want to get in touch with him.  Call them back at…”

At first, since I’m hungover (getting drunk on a train is VERY underrated, by the way), I thought I was dreaming.  But the message was legit and only confirmed after speaking to Ace.  And way to call my mom, crazy journalists.   

It’s an absolute tragedy that has left many of my friends very shaken up, but I applaud Ace for keeping his head and later writing a great summary of the events.  You can read his post and see the videos here.
