National Guard forced to stand down by law enforcement in Boston
The Washington Times Communities ^ | Sunday, April 21, 2013 | Alan Jones

The commander of the Rhode Island Army National Guard 13th Civil Support Team (CST) claims that her two WMD detection experts assigned duty at the Boston Marathon along with WMD troops from the Massachusetts Army National Guard 1st CST were “several blocks” from the finish line at the time of the twin terror bombings, but when those units immediately tried to move into position to respond, troops from both states were forced to stay back after law enforcement denied them access to the scene at the finish line.

So who killed the 8 year old boy? How did his little sister lose her leg? The caption of the last image asks if you can see any of the shrapnel that was ‘supposed’ to be flying around or just wispy white smoke. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read...it’s like asking if I saw the bullet when I pulled the trigger!

This is a non-story. Read all the way down.

New York’s Army National Guard had five CST personnel working at the Boston Marathon. “They were very, very near the blast site; they were in harm’s way. They were able to respond quickly” Representative Michael Grimm said Friday while visiting the unit at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, reports the Staten Island Advance.

Another unit was closer and had already responded.

Can anyone imagine what just 20 unsophisticated people could do with a half baked plan, in several major cities in the U.S.?

It boggles the mind, doesn't it? They had 10's of thousands of LEO's of all various stripes and flavors marching around Boston...driving around in armoured carriers, with the population completely locked down like a bunch of frightened sheep while they searched for a 19 year old punk!

They just proved that the vast majority of Americans will accept any level of government repression as long as they're told it's for their own good. We also told wannbe terrorists that it's pretty damned easy to shut down a major American city and cause chaos. It all makes me sick.

Insist on cops, then insist on Miranda. Can’t have it both ways.

media hysteria is because it happened in a liberal student elitist city, , if this had occurred in MS, ALM, SC, and pne only has to look at TX where something like 15 dead, over 200 injured, 40 h9mes destroyed and a town destroyed ten I doubt the media would be in overdrive.

Now they’re having another mins silence of when the bomb went off in Boston.

As a former 95B (MP) with the New York Guard (State Guard, not National) I can tell you that there is ZERO jurisdiction for the Guard, State or National. We had an abbreviated Police Acadamy training (because we were tasked with liason-ing with police a LOT), and from what I remember of my training, jurisdiction and crime-scene control gets more 'potent' and powerful the closer you get to local police.

Without the Feds exercising some legal override options, it goes like this:

Fed Police have the weakest powers and claims.
State police have the second weakest powers and claims.
County police have the second strongest powers and claims.
Local (City/Town/Incorporated Areas) police have the strongest powers and claims.

National and State Guards wouldn't even be on the 'powers and claims' (poor terminology but you get my meaning from it) radar, UNLESS Martial Law was officially declared.

This is policing by the book. I have zero problem with it.

It seems every few years or so there are massive accidental explosions, petroleum fires there etc., so most are not overly shocked or surprised.

BTW, get ready for the symbolism over substance, with the endless candlelight vigils, feel good speeches, terms like, “Boston strong”, songs, and politicans trampling on each other for tv face time.

Are these the same cops who couldn’t get around to pursueing the Mercedes SUV after the shoot/up/down/out in Watertown? And let Joker get out of sight in the “hood? And didn’t have a dog handy to track his bloody trail down with? And didn’t have an ol’ country boy handy who could follow a bloody trail-——————plenty of incompetence to go around with this Beantown bunch. For all the techy hardware they put out they couldn’t follow a bloody trail? If they just had one more surplus armored vehicle I get the idea they’d be able to two Cheechen punks.

I’m probably no better than a truther.

I have fleeting thoughts of our own government putting out something so vile and repulsive to confuse people even further.

Or organizing for America.

I wouldn’t put much past them anymore.

Posse Comitatus doesn’t apply since National Guard troops are under the command of the Governor unless called to Title 10 Activation by the President at such time they become regular military.

The whole thing was wrong. They knew who these guys were before the lockdown. Publish the damn pictures.

These guys (FBI in particular) like the glory...The FBI had a party after they captured the Unabomber.

They bragged about the heat seeking helicopter....well...apparently you have to tell it where the body is first.

And you have to have a citizen who had just been released from the state imposed curfew call 9-11 first to find the dude....because he alluded 5000 cops.

Ok...I get it...I really do...

I got suckered in when bubba was in office...

The problem comes where in order for this shit to be a false flag....EVERYONE needs to be “in on it”....litterally thousands of cops...volunteers...actors....special effects specialists etc etc ad inifnitum...

and yet the most powerful man in the world cant keep a blow job a secret....

I refer you to a heinlein twist on hanlon’s razor:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity....but dont rule out malice.”

Oh, I never thought it was a false flag for a minute.

This crap about actors and staging something like this is just unbelieveable.

Can’t be anything but disinformation.

It’s too evil to be sheer stupidity.

Buy evil is out numbered by stupidity 1 million to one...

Truthers are an infection based on paranoia than can effect otherwise rational people...
