WCVB: Gunfire, explosions reported in Watertown neighborhood of Boston - http://bit.ly/11jwbKG

Three block perimeter to be established around 98 Spruce in Watertown, Mass

I’m wondering why the Military is even involved...Posse Comitatus is still the law, isn’t it?

[Mozilla]

Yeah but they also use bombs so taking the guns away won’t help.

[CharlotteVRWC]

I keep hearing that the remaining suspect #2 is a 2nd year medical student?

[Future Snake Eater]

Seems odd that this 19 year old kid could escape a massive police chase and search, when hardened criminals can’t manage to evade a few squad cars in a getaway.

My guess is the cops are scared shitless. This kid and his brother are wired to suicide vests and were lobbing grenades at the cops. They're not military (no matter how much they try to dress like Infantry or SpecOps guys), so they're not used to this kind of resistance. I'm betting that they're giving him a lot of leeway while still trying to contain him.

Oh...eee-yewww..no!

Sweaty Stallone is gross!

I took a short nap and apparently forgot Buff Guy already...LOL

[info overload...I need to forget some stuff to make room for everything going on today]

[Las Vegas Ron]

Makes no sense to me, unless there is something going on that we don’t know...yet.

[Old Sarge]

Agreed.

Surviving brother has gone to ground. Start searching the mosques.

I am hearing their might he a hostage situation from some reports on WHDH’s feed. But people are unsure if he is still in Watertown or not. So the information is all over the place.

[angcat]

I thought the same the suitcase nukes that disappeared remember??

[TADSLOS]

So, in effect, we have the combat manpower equivalent of an Army division committed to a single perp.

[sopwith]

BINGO.

[Repeat Offender]

Enemies foreign and domestic. Attacks by foreign nationals would count wouldn't they? They're not arresting anyone or investigating crimes......these are attacks on US soil.

Or maybe you side with 0bama and this is just work place violence?

Newsflash....it's a war and it's here.

[weston]

True. But also as I watched live last night I noticed it was quite foggy.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Amtrak into Boston shut down. “The people must cower in their homes. We cannot let the terrorists win.”

[Salamander]

Cheezus.

All I can think of is my dogs.

What if this was happening here and my dogs took it personally, all those strangers stomping around their house?

Would I even get a chance to put them in another room?

Not liking this brave new world one bit.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Make that Amtrak NY to Boston.
