Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people's homes and performing illegal searches. While it was unclear initially if the home searches were voluntary, it is now crystal clear that they were absolutely NOT voluntary. Police were filmed ripping people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.
This was part of a larger operation that involved total lockdown of the suburban neighbor to Boston. Roads were barricaded and vehicle traffic was prohibited. A No-Fly Zone was declared over the town. People were "ordered" to stay indoors. Businesses were told not to open. National Guard soldiers helped with the lockdown, and were photographed checking IDs of pedestrians on the streets. All the while, police were performing these disgusting house-to-house searches.
But they can target, what if their target is wrong and they hit you. Search warrant, reasonable search and seizure. Not a with hunt!
So we have here something identified as reasonable based on the fact that the mob cheered it on.
I don’t want to bring insult to anyone. But if we agree with the principle that we’re a nation of laws, then let’s please stick with that idea and don’t give in to mental laziness. (Or Marxism.)
“Just wonder how much fishing was going on while they had the “POWER” to bust into folks homes? Who will report it?”
In Soviet times people would accuse their neighbor, with a nice apartment (relatively speaking, of course), of being a counterrevolutionary and turn them into the KGB.
While the neighbor and his family was in the decades-long process of being “re-educated”, a nice apartment would open up, and guess who would get to move in.
So, during that time, anyone with a decent imitation of an Arabic accent could “turn-in” a neighbor he didn’t like and get a real kick out of it.
That’s one of the reasons some of us aren’t too happy about what went down over there.
I’m thinking about the college students watching the police marching down the street getting closer to their house. You have to know there was a panic as they flushed the weed down the toilet and tried to figure out where to hide the bong.
Yes, I know it’s not funny.
AWESOME great link .... GO MATT

Thanks
Or is it because him and so many others have seen the incremental controlling actions of government escalate to the point where most realize what many are saying, based strictly on government behavior, is the absolute truth?
Did ya get a job at city hall, the IRS?
Sure. That's why the whole city is moved to patriotic tears at the mere presence of the first responders and law enforcement officers who helped conclude this dangerous episode.
Your posts on this thread are nothing more than filth.
No. Calling decent oath-keeping officers of the law terrorists is filth.
Folks here couldn't be more out of touch with the reality of what actually happened in Boston and Watertown, and what the actual situation is now.
I laughed when I heard the guy decided to go out for a smoke break and with all that smoke and what it supposedly does - he was observant to get the job done - and responsible for unlocking the citizens the officials had in captivity! Will they leave that part out of the history books?
If the Left wanted to invent someone to lead gullible people on the "right" off into the weeds they couldn't have done better than Alex Jones.
Hadn’t thought about that aspect ... have to admit I’m many years passed that stage of my life ... good point though

Ya think anyone but you, Obama, the academic arrogant and CNN buy this?
No it is NOT. Searches OK? Maybe. Pointing guns at known civilians in the course of those searches? NO!
I’m glad I didn’t vote for “America’s Party” in CA last year. I obviously have a different view of “America”.

No, I was in NJ, but I was watching on TV, he was smoking a cigarette. Saw something wrong with his boat and called the cops, the terrorist was bleeding out in his boat. They surrounded the boat and made it into swiss cheese. Keystone cops! Therefore, he caught the guy.
Why? Because I’m thankful that we have a government and law enforcement that defends the people from terrorists?
Nah. I’m standing on solid ground.
Patriotic tears?
You call disarmed people pleading for the Government to save them patriotic? How's about a well armed peoples taking care of them selves, so called FReedom lover?
Try this, how about the Government not dragging Citizen out of their homes to search them, ever hear of the document you purported to claim to support?
Folks here couldn't be more out of touch with the reality of what actually happened in Boston and Watertown, and what the actual situation is now.
Bow down and kiss your masters ass, not me.
