How did the Joker after running over his brother, Speedbump, get away? Well the cops must have figured out he didn't go far. They never said if they found the car that night. But, they continued their search through the night. The next day they told 1,000,000 Greater Boston residents living in 100 square miles to quarter in place! All the while they were searching an area about one-half mile in diameter, much less than one percent of the locked down area. They had helicopters continuously circling the search area until early afternoon.
A few hours after they relaxed the hunt and lifted the lock-down, I heard between 50 to 100 rounds fired from multiple weapons. The hunt was over. Speedbump was dead. Joker was wounded. One mass transit cop (what's he doing in this hunt) was seriously wounded from friendly fire (that's what they call it). The most amazing thing was All Watertown residents and dogs were spared. Keep in mind there were bullet holes in wood framed buildings. The SWAT team frog marched a lot of residents out of their homes. Most amazingly, there is no outcry here around Boston.
IIRC, the main LIVE THREAD of that day/evening had references to Keystone Kops as various reports were made.
Many of us were watching online via local TV streaming.
The Kops had, supposedly, already searched the general area where the boat and culprit were later discovered.
May their chains sit lightly, and may the testicles of their Masters taste sweet...
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.
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
