“Former Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) said it is hard to imagine what could justify directing the entire population of the city to shelter in place.”
That’s pure BULLSHIT...it was a 20 square block area were they were in ACTIVE pursuit of armed and deangerous TERRORISTS that had already set off two bombs...shot a cop...engaged in a high speed pursuit while lobbing pipe bombs out the window...
I listened to the boston scanners all night...they werent “systematiclly” searching houses...they were knocking...doing quick looks...checking on residents...and clearing back yards looking for armed terrorist on the run and making sure he hadnt taken anyone hostage...
And since when do we take shit that democrats say seriously ANYWAYS???
Finally, someone who has some damn sense. Some of the residents wanted officers to do a full search including garages, roofs, sheds in the backyard that the resident was afraid to approach, officers obliged. As for the "shelter in place" - it was not an "order" - it was not marshal law, it was a suggestion - contrary to what others are saying - people made up their own minds about whether or not they wanted to roam around the neighborhood and meet up with "just a 19 year old college kid" who proved to be anything but, he was a proven terrorist, a wounded, bleeding, tired, hungry, frightened terrorist who had God knows how many rounds of ammunition and pipe bombs on his person. Most people chose to stay inside.
Thanks. Chechen terrorists are as scary as it gets.
