Was locking down Boston worth the cost? (Please no "YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON LIFE" comments. Yes, yes you can. You can't have sensible public policy otherwise).

Actually, it looks like Adam was a Satan worshiper, and thought he was the devil, all religious fabrications he learned from his mother and from his school.

Psychotropic and anti-psychotic drugs can effectively treat the religiously fanatic.

Clearly stated "fanatic" Christian.

How you get "every" from that is on you.

A snow day you can go out and drink after without all the snow? Hellz yeah worth it!

adam was fanatic?

Is anyone else completely vexed as to how this kid could be in a firefight with the suburban cops, get away, and later elude a paramilitary door to door hunt for half a day? I think this leaves a huge black eye on the authorities involved for the past 24 hours, when the ****ing homeowner is the one who found him.

Did whoever was in charge not tell the guys searching to peek under and inside cars? How would you miss bloodstains on a boat sitting in the driveway of a house you just searched each room of? I'm glad they caught this POS alive but honestly, should've been caught way earlier, and without civilian assistance.

I don't really think this thing will even end up developing its own sort of independently recognizable right wing hate initiative. Like off the bat it isn't a Sandy Hook-type event that people will expect to be addressed with any specific legislative response or action or anything. No applicable "THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL ABOUT OUR ______ LAWS!" or "IT'S TIME FOR A STRONGER MILITARY PRESENCE IN ______!" The strongest result will be that it bolsters already existing prejudices imo, but it'll also end up as a minor recycled talking point in discussions over immigration, the perceived CRIPPLING of our military strength in the ME under Obama, why we need to end the American war on Judeo-Christian values, on and on.

Not sure what you mean by "locking down".

If you had to go to the hospital, I'm sure you could go.

Public transport was ordered shut down.

Beyond that, I believe the rest was voluntary compliance, though I could be wrong.

There was no Martial Law in place, and I am not sure which Mass statute would allow the police to arrest for non-compliance.

Doesn't sound like much of an 'order' to me. Sounds voluntary, and most people were only too happy to comply. Public employees and buildings were shut down. Private businesses were free to remain open or not.

He somehow slipped outside the perimeter, so that house wasn't searched door to door. Keep in mind this was a pretty large area they were trying to seal off.

From listening to the scanner all night, they did temporarily restrain people who were out if they remotely matched the description, but only for 10-15 minutes until they verified that they weren't the suspect.

I'm sure people could make a case that that is unconstitutional, but there's the letter of the law and there's common sense, and I think common sense needed to prevail here and it did.

It means you watch too much TV.

That the law enforcement officials identified and then killed/captured perpetrators at all in two days is a triumph.

That's my understanding as well. A friend of mine decided to visit Boston this week (nice timing?) and her return flight was today. She allowed herself more time to get to the airport, but left her place and got to the airport during the lockdown period with no issues and no hassle.

(Turns out more time was not necessary since there was essentially no traffic, but hey. Better safe than sorry if you do get stopped I guess.)

I hope you're right for your guys sake. Up here we're getting new bills being tabled starting Monday so the window for a power grab is already opened

for ****s sake

Must be ****ing hot in the sonoran desert perhaps a drink of cool water and a nap is in order?

k

I shall add Jack Daniels to said water, have two 9mm pistolas at the ready, for when .gov comes breaking down the door. Please don't shoot my dogs.

Make sure to hold your breath while doing this.

.gov will probably be bringing some AR's.

I'd recommend you purchase some too.

This.

This happened earlier today, btw. So yeah, it isnt possible that this will spill into the immigration debate, it is a lock to do so.

I thought some of the mainstream accused 911 hijackers were at a titty bar prior to he event . I also was told Mohammed Atta played craps in LV on occasion.
