Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I think there is more to this than one 19 year old kid.

The postponed the Bruins game again. So the FBI or somebody must know that there is something else in Boston that the kid is hiding.

Or maybe its because its completely inappropriate to have a sporting event during this.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I don't want to be that guy that sticks up for this kid but he is innocent until proven guilty. Even with all the evidence against him he doesn't deserve to be strung up right away. If he is found with weapons then yeah they will shoot him but still. The authorities should ignore all the other citizens rights? Granted yeah they are allowing them to search their homes voluntarily but that is a little concerning watching from the outside.

That's a whole helluva lot of idealist thinking, man.

He's "innocent" until "proven guilty", yes. We have to get his *** to go any further and make sure that he IS proven guilty. Because he is.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

How in the world are they taking this too far?! There is a TERRORIST loose, with explosives and weapons, in one of the most populated and famous cities in our country. There is no limit to what the authorities should do to find this piece of ****. He detonated explosives on American soil. Move Heaven and Earth and find this ****er and bring him to justice.

Absolutely!

There isn't something else they are hiding. The shelter-in-place conserves their resources and overall, just makes this easier. If at the end of the night they find him, I'd say postponing the game until tomorrow is the smart decision.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Again, you throw "innocent until proven guilty" out the window when you rob a gas station, shoot someone, and then steal a vehicle and hurl explosives out of the window at law enforcement.

That alone, not including the extreme likely hood that this ******* is responsible for what happened at the Marathon, is enough to classify someone as a piece of **** that needs to be stopped and brought to justice immediately.

I don't see how you think they are handling this wrong.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

All I have heard is that his brother. I'm not getting stuck on this guys said but it seems that in this country your innocent until proven guilty. Which it shouldn't be like that.

They both car jacked a car, both told the passenger they kidnapped that THEY were the bombers, both were identified in the gun fight and, oh yeah, both were shown and confirmed to be the bombers by the FBI.

By the way, they are still finding bombs across the city. But let's let the public freely walk through the streets.

There is more than enough evidence to prove his guilt. Innocent people don't rob a 7/11, hijack a car, have Stand-offs with the police and then disappear like a cockroach.

They are not encroaching on anyone's rights. They are protecting people by keeping them off the streets when there is a terrorist who has already shown he can blow up a bomb in public.

I live here. I know people (my sister included) stuck in their houses, not working, etc. and not a single person feels like this is too much that I've talked to. You don't just say "Oh, hey Boston - we haven't found him yet in 12+ hours. We're gonna take a break and see if something happens to help us." You find this terrorist and you either apprehend him or, if he doesn't want to go easily, you treat him like the piece of **** he has proven to be this week.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

You really don't need to shut down the entire city. That's really what I am getting at. They are just scaring people when there is really no real threat anymore or they aren't telling anyone how big of a threat is still out there.

People are already scared here. Nobody around here has a problem with how things are being handled. I think we'd be more scared if we were wandering around the city with suspect #2 on the loose still, free to kill innocent civilians.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Yea, not sure why they are locking down an entire city. I too also believe their is something more they are not telling us and or misleading the media on purpose. I can't imagine their are that many places he can stay hidden for this long. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I'm from the outside looking in and what I see are two terrorists who blew up the Boston Marathon, killing 3 people including an 8 year old boy, maiming dozens of others, robbing a store, killing an MIT officer, having a firefight with officers using weapons including grenades, and causing unbelievable chaos in an American city.

Sorry if I don't sympathize with those who are so confused that they don't know how to feel after knowing all that. Cut and dry to me how I'd feel after learning that about one of my friends. But hey, I'm different.

Oh no I understand some people are going to be like "If he was my friend. I'd hate him". But it's a much more easier thing to say things like that. Then to actually experience them. Being lied to changes everything.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

This is being handled properly. If anyone criticizes the fact that the city is shutdown and thousands of officers are on site...IDK what to say.

Law enforcement gets such a bad rap. If they slip up and someone dies, they're crucified...if they shoot and kill a criminal, they're bashed for being trigger happy.

I can't imagine the stress levels in that job...here I am stressed about hitting deadlines and ****...SMH.

Ok, I'm going to put this as simple as possible.

They are still finding bombs in the area. They do not have the person who set the bombs.

You don't let the public just go on with their daily lives when they are still under attack.

Boston is still under attack

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I'm all for innocent until proven guilty but the first priority is to protect the public which is what they're doing.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

They are trained for the job and know what they're getting into

That said, there has been alot of misinformation given over the air waves in the last few days along with everything happening.

I can't say if its being handled wrong or not but if someone is sitting back and watching all of their protocols and procedures then wooooo
