A Good Day For Snitchin’

Yesterday, police shot and caught the main suspect in the murder of poliec officer Gary Skerski, the yellow-eyed man seen in this sketch pretty much since Skerski’s killing last week. Members of his family apparently turned him in — police didn’t even have a suspect two days ago.

His name is Solomon Montgomery, he’s only 23, and as you may have guessed, he seems like a pretty horrible person. The police haven’t said he’s officially a suspect, but when all the sources say he’s a prime suspect and Sylvester Johnson suddenly comes back to hold a press conference, well, come on, our local media’s smarter than that, guys.

This is good news for snitchin’, the police, the public’s sense of justice and the City Paper’s Brian Hickey, who will be personally executing Montgomery next week.

And, yes, a good day for Skerski’s family, as well, as for his friends:

“Oh, my God, I like did cartwheels in the halls at work!” [Stacey Holmes] said. “I hope he [Montgomery] rots in hell.”

Thanks, for that “[Montgomery],” Daily News. I was wondering who she was talking about.
