The economic impact of the Boston Marathon bomb suspect manhunt could run into the billions of dollars, according to one expert, as a million city residents were stuck at home, stores were shuttered and public transit ground to a halt.

Boston businesses were advised to remain closed, city employees were told to stay home or remain in place at work, vehicular traffic was limited and travel into the city via Amtrak and discount bus lines was suspended.

hard to beat that kind of ROE...

Would anyone in their right mind go to Boston (or any other big liberal city for that matter) when it has a severe Islamic terrorist and terrorist sympathizer infestation.

Another 'brilliant' statement from the Obama Regime.

FR is funded solely by the freedom loving folks who love and use it.

Think of it as another government holiday!

[MamaDearest]

What’s the city’s justification for subsidizing the mosque where the terrorists were attendees? Did they provide similar subsidies for Christian or Jewish places of worship?

[BerryDingle]

Maybe they should stay shut down for another week. You know, just in case. There COULD be another bomb or bomber out there. And since the entire populace of Boston is apparently incapable of defending themselves, I really think another week indoors hiding under the bed would be prudent.

The media loves the term "on lockdown", like everyones a prisoner and they are the wardens.

How is this different than a big blizzard?

1. No advance warning.

2. Caused by government jackboots

[sergeantdave]

Boston is a perfect example of brainless, gutless, unarmed liberal sheep bleating for their fascist masters.

Baaah!

[nascarnation]

It’s only money.
Call Baraq and have Bernanke and Lew create some mini-bucks to cover it.
Coupla keystrokes on the computer....

Also the costs of having no mental peace, living in fear.

How is this different than a big blizzard?

That depends. Is the blizzard in rural Texas, or Boston?

[LibsRJerks]

You know something... i hadn’t even thought of that. I think you’re absolutely right. We’ll start hearing about all the suffering in Boston, and the need for emergency relief.

Was in a Whole Foods tonight ...already they have corporate sponsored point of sale campaign for donations for the suffering in Boston.

Hl*l — some of those Bostonites probably are far more well off than WE are!!

It’s just the price of embracing and celebrating diversity.

[vetvetdoug]

Just more roadmap for the next successful terrorists. They couldn't have asked for a more triumphal action. They killed and maimed infidels and cost the economy lots of money with minimal investment.

[Mamzelle]

Good

[FishinTX]

Celebration after capture adds $34 million to local economy.

Oh, I see:

So THIS is what 44/2 was referring to when he said that “we’re in debt to Boston” (the payoff cometh)

We’ll start hearing about all the suffering in Boston, and the need for emergency relief.

They've had RomneyCare for years so the medical costs for those wounded is already covered. Right?

They can pay for all the law enforcement overtime with the money they didn't spend by having the rest of the government employees stay home. The private companies shut down for this won't be paid for it, so why should the government employees shut down be paid?

The only extra expense I see is that they owe the guy who actually found the last perp a new boat!

"What Difference Does It Make?"

[Mad Dawgg]

"I'll go further: This was just a dress rehearsal for Obama's new urban renewal plan: you go where we tell you to go. THAT IS NOT AMERICA. May God judge the men who did this."

Obama Admin Announcement. "Shelter in Place" was a huge success now we will execute the next phase "Shelter in FEMA Camps"...
