National News!- "East Coast Rapist"

http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/03/07/connecticut.east.coast.rapist/index.html

News report says that a man accused of being the "east coast rapist" spoke to the authorities and stated," What took you so long to get me?"...Let me start off this blog by saying, how can someone just come out their face saying something like that. What they did was not okay, and he is simply just joking about it. like SHAKE MY HEAD.
Aaron Thomas, age 39, is suspected to be linked to 17 women assaults in the following states: Maryland, Connecticut, Virginia, and Rhode Island (between 1997 and 2009). Police had finally gathered enough evidence by keeping Thomas under survailance. Thomas was smoking a ciggirett outside of a court house and when he threw the bud, police gathered it. The DNA on the ciggarette linked to the assaults. He was accused of raping someone in front of her one year old child, threatening to kill her if she didn't cooperate. Many other situation arrose with similar accusastions What helped the case, was when Thomas confessed to the first accusation of Maryland. Thomas was arrested. A little while later Thomas tried to hang himself in the cell. He was taken to New Haven Hopsital for evaluation. He was not injured but when placed back in his cell he was on suicide watch.
Reflection-
It's crazy what go through peoples heads. I wonder what would cause someone to committ so many assaults. Especially having someone at gun point. How could you want to hurt an innocent bistandard? Also i wish the police caught him sooner rather then almost 10 years prior, causing there to more victims to his terrible crime.
