So fucking what!

I work in Redwood City, Calif,. the site of what some people seem to feel is the trial of the century, the Scott Peterson case. This afternoon as the jury's sentencing decision was being announced, I happened to go out to the bank. About a thousand feet overhead hovered three helicopters, at the nine o'clock, twelve o'clock, and three o'clock positions, as if they were hunting me down. I realized they were over the site of the trial. Turned on the radio to hear a reporter describe "a crush of people" gathered outside -- which I guess is what the helicopters were broadcasting. God, I hate it when reporters treat stuff like this like the Super Bowl.
