True dat. And it’s why we must resist any and all attempts to disarm us.
Was a state of emergency ever declared? Were orders issued to the general public regarding their comings and goings? All I ever heard was requests being made to stay indoors. Was anyone arrested for being outdoors when asked not to be?
I can't believe they're carding Dr. House!
Sure looks like him, doesn’t it?
The irony is amazing, that it was only AFTER the lockdown was lifted, and civilians were allowed out of their houses, that a civilian went into his backyard, saw the blood on the boat tarp, and called the police. The 19 year old was hiding in the boat all day long, unseen by all of those police occupying the streets and flying the skies in choppers.
The point being, 10,000 cops can’t possibly find a well-known needle in a haystack as well as 7 MILLION Bostonians.
You’re right of course, Travis. I was looking at it from the point that there could be hundreds more explosive devices planted around the city that had yet to be found and detonated, so there was a possibility that many more could be hurt.
let him die in the hospital....or send him to Gitmo and waterboard him....
Yep. A decade and a couple of 60 minutes/20-20 interviews from now, this little terror turd will still be thieving oxygen and space on Americans' dime.
Not a chance, IMHO. These pressure cooker devices were strictly amateur and low tech. If we lock down large cities for episodes like this, we are announcing our utter weakness and fear to potential jihadists everywhere. Like a lady leaping onto a table because of a mouse. It just announces our fear, and our LE’s eagerness to clamp down with virtual martial law. What a bang for the buck, for loser low-echelon jihadists! This was about 1% of a Beslan or a Mumbai, and we acted like it was an alien invasion.
