The worstest feature of that whole event was that with all the shots fired the cops didn’t take out the Tsarnaev kid and spare us all from the farce of a trial.

Most amazingly, there is no outcry here around Boston.

May their chains sit lightly, and may the testicles of their Masters taste sweet...

If someone would have flung a packet of firecrackers out there, Humvee Rambo would have skit his skanties...

So you have no problem with the police response?

“Giving an M4 carbine to someone who is a cross between Barney Fife and Rambo is a disaster scenario.”

Giving the Keystone Cops automatic weapons is a good approximation of what happened in Boston. Not surprising considering the panicky responses we have come to expect when big city police departments feel they are at risk. Remember the LA cops spraying bullets at random citizen’s vehicles when looking for the cop killer?

If we refuse to learn from mistakes we will keep on making them.

Yes, it is worth noting that the guy was found because a citizen noticed something awry regarding his boat, where Joker was hiding. He wasn’t found because of the excessive cordoned off area and police search.

"The SWAT team frog marched a lot of residents out of their homes. Most amazingly, there is no outcry here around Boston. "

Why are you surprised? These are the same people that voted for the Kennedys for several decades. They believe that governments have rights, not citizens. Oh, how Massachusetts has fallen from the days of the Revolution, when men like Sam Adams lived there.

Boston is not an American City. Boston is Euro

Guess I had a similar reaction with 9/11...just find and bring to justice whoever did it. I would have joined the military the next day if I hadn’t been over the age limit.

Maybe you are right, maybe that is more an emotional response than rational—just find them. But if it had happened in my city instead of Boston, I would most likely have been even more provoked. So, yes, I admit...I was very glad and relieved when he was captured and off the streets of Boston. And I wasn’t keyed in on their possible mistakes in the process. With hindsight they will learn and improve their methods.

The SWAT team frog marched a lot of residents out of their homes.

A lot of those residents in triple deckers were college students. Just imagine the amount of marijuana that was flushed down the toilets as those kids saw the cops working their way down the street. LOL

Big question should be why are very questionable individuals being allowed into our country?

They're not just allowed into our country. They are rewarded handsomely.

That family came here claiming they needed political asylum. But then they freely flew back and forth to their old country.

How could they afford to do that? The family was getting more than $100,000 a year in welfare, housing, food, unemployment, and scholarships. Plus Speedbump was dealing drugs and Momma was shoplifting thousands of dollars from the mall.

Jane, they are first allowed in, then given prizes and gifts and on and on.

If they were never allowed in in the first place, there would be no bombs, no gifts, no prizes....

Just like the tens of millions of illegals who are being welcomed in by the American hating BG corrupt.
