Do you think law enforcement wanted it to come out immediately that they declared martial law and ordered people out of their homes at gun point for an unarmed.

Just when you thought this mess couldn’t get worse, now you can cast aside any faith in law enforce. If boot lickers here don’t like that comment you know where you can go.

I knew he had no firearms on him or with him, save for the one shot that was reported.... which I assumed was the one he he used on himself.

Now they're saying no gun was found?

Maybe someone on the scene wanted a souvenir?

Easy ~ he shot himself earlier ~ lost the gun (which was instantly recovered and put in a very safe place by somebody who needed a gun) ~ so when he was finally apprehended he didn’t have his gun.

Good thing he wasn’t in a Blue Toyota Pickup.

Boston would have ended up giving him $4,000,000...

Of course he didn’t have firearms. There is NO evidence he had acquired a license to have a firearm. MORONS. /s

That’s a stretch, especially in light of the fact many of those bullits were fake...same with the bang bombs...all met to startle him...

Further they weren’t out to kill him, and that was said the night of the chase many times...they wanted him alive.

“Professional” job of self-defense and guarding the safety of surrounding residents. Excellent marksmanship! *Applause*

LOL!

Strange, huh? It's usually the other way around.

"Hurry, put the throw-down gun in his hand. Here comes another squad car!"

The gun(s) were probably traced back to the Islamic jihadists who were funding them. Either that, or maybe they got them from Holder. So now, lo and behold, they HAD no gun.

Police were told to capture him alive.

Yeah - like the newspaper girls out in Los Angeles.

What's a "fake" bullet that leaves holes in a boat? Rubber? Those holes weren't made by rock salt or nerf guns.

Unregistered, oh yeah, and unarmed.

Frankly I was astounded the entire city of Boston was shut down while looking for this 19 year old. His 26 year old brother was dead when the decision was made to shut the entire city down. This was pure panic on the part of law enforcement, city & state government ... the immediate area Watertown, I understand ... or a portion of this suburb. A bomb goes off in NYC and they shut the city down ... highly unlikely ... Boston is bush league.

“So how’d he shoot himself in the throat?”

He had the gun but then he never did.

Maybe the gun was assembled from parts left over from putting together the gun that shot Vince Foster
