What you said is that citizens should have been allowed to go do what they want aside from going to school. How many false identifications do you think would have been called in had people been out in force yesterday?
Chalk this up to being a snow day. Extraordinary circumstances justifying a temporary(12 whole hours) suspension of being able to go window shopping. |

I don't like it but you are right. The terrorists goal is to disrupt and paralyze economic means and society. The two guys are somewhat incidental to the greater goal of organized terrorists. The facts are two guys killed people, terrorized a million more and cost Boston about one billion dollars. In the greater scheme, they won, we lost. |

I can't believe people are using this situation to claim that Boston somehow botched this job up. JFC.
Most manhunts take years to find the right guy. This was a situation where two guys dropped bombs in public with no cops or security to see it. They identified the suspect, tracked them down, and either captured or killed them in a few days. It was a tremendous collaboration between the city, the police department, the businesses in the area, and citizens. Drop your agendas for 5 minutes, please. The idea that Boston and Boston PD should get no credit for tracking the guy down just because they were tipped off by someone is just plain ludicrous. |

As a person I'm thrilled about the capture an killing of these two guys.
As a strategic thinker I'm not happy. The terrorists traded two guys for a week or terror and economic loss. We can't afford that. The politicians are obviously clueless. We need a new strategy and that involves the citizenry as well as the cops. |

This isn't about an agenda. It's about how 2 punks paralyzed a major city for 2 days with a ****ing pressure cooker.

Well, let's face it. It WAS a private citizen that went outside, violating the lockdown order, who saw the guy in his boat.
Not saying the cops wouldn't have eventually found him, or that narrowing down the area didn't help because it did, but he could have been dead by that time too. There's pros and cons politically. This de facto martial law psychologically conditions the population to live like this. Ultimately, it could lead to lack of resistance by the people when it's needed.' Er well that's happening already. Warrantless searches did not prevent act of terror, nor did the evisceration of our rights. People are being conditioned by these events laying down and giving up their rights instead of insisting its central govt to change its policies.
