I’ve a lot more respect for the Boston PD than the FBI which i consider unconstitutional and part of an out of control government but I agree with what you’re saying.
It’s up to the PD how they deal with it but shutting down a city is slightly overreacting.
I’m not saying it’s wrong for them to do so. They can do what they like but just giving an opinion.
much respect from here for your thoughtful opinion. Sincerely mean that. I have a slightly different view than yours because I come at it from a slightly different angle.
Under the circumstances in Boston, I think the BPD, FBI and Citizens did the best they could. That statement is with the understanding that Boston is largely a "gun free zone" which has disarmed its citizens - thanks mostly to Mitt Romney and the Massachusetts State Legislature under then "Governor Romney." At least that's my understanding.
Yes, there is an aspect of the Second Amendment here that may have brought this situation to a faster close. Don't think it would've prevented the deaths and injuries from the bombing though.
I did have the thought "in a Conceal/Carry state, would one or both of the Tsarnaev's ended up dead trying to do a car-jacking?" Given the vehicle they carjacked had a "COEXIST" bumper sticker on it (if that report is true..) I'm sure they likely/luckily picked the right vehicle to carjack! (LOL!) ... Can't imagine someone getting away with that trying to carjack some good ol' boy in Texas and taking his truck.
