The 21-year-old national guardsman is suspected of leaking top-secret military documents online.
It is one of the few visible signs of the huge story that has come to this small town. Not that anyone needs a reminder.
At the nearby Lopes Complex, parents and children were preparing the softball field for the coming season. Nobody had missed the global news gone local. Chris Andrade said:"It's pretty shocking. We have a lot of military connections in this community, so it's more surprising that somebody out of here would have the gall to do it."Growing up in this community, it's tough to fit in and I think, someone like him, it sounded like fitting in was important and so he found a community online and had some important stuff that he could maybe share and thought 'Oh, I can trust these people'.
"I'm hopeful that it's just him being an idiot and not thinking the full repercussions. I fell terrible for his family., it's a shame." In this story, the word shame is doing some heavy lifting - in this rural Massachusetts town and far beyond.
