It was like the TSA came out to your house for the day – and you were thrilled about it.
I can't imagine this happening in a city in the U.S. and yet it did.
The Government? Locking down a city is the objective of terrorism. By closing down Boston, they gave the scum what they wanted and thereby encouraged more terrorism.
The Media? Terrorists seek publicity, which they supplied, day after day after day.
The Police? The lockdown made things worse by delaying the fugitive's apprehension. Swat teams in body armor didn't find him. An alert citizen did. And, only after the lockdown was lifted. Most egregious to me, when you view any of the videos of the door-to-door manhunt, the police, in full riot gear with weapons drawn, were ordering residents out of their homes with arms over their heads, yelling at them to keep their hands up and to move faster, while they were targeted by designated marksmen. None of them even vaguely resembled Tsarnaev, why were they being treated like terrorists?
This was not a win for America my friends.
