I hope they’ve got trigger locks on their sidearms.
For the safety of the children, of course.
The Barn door and Horse thingy comes to mind.
The surviving bomber apologized for the bombing. Said how sorry he was for the suffering he and his brother caused.
Can’t wait for his execution. Then he will descend into hell rather than encounter his 72,virgin playmates.
I try really hard to get excited about such security precautions, but alas, all I see is hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted in a futile effort to make a distance event ‘safe’ from terrorists.
But hey, as a side effect, I’m sure petty theft is down dramatically in the area of the marathon route - so not all the money is going to waste. A shame that the money isn’t being spent on more productive uses like finding and ejecting those who support terrorist organizations. They can start with CAIR.
I was in Boston for the 4th after a cruise last summer and you were on terror alert then.
It’s a serious problem.
By the way I was amazed being from California that you don’t have the Hispanic labor problems with them taking all the service industry jobs yet.
Lots of older citizens with gray hair still able to work. We lost that some time in the 80s. Now you need to speak Spanish even as a citizen to work.
What has been Boston’s secret to avoiding the wave of Hispanics taking all the jobs? Lack of WELFARE?
I was truely amazed. My wife who is Mexican was one of the few I saw in Boston at all.
A lot of talk this year about “scanning for radiation”. I imagine they’ve done that in the past but this year there appears to be special emphasis.
It’s ... interesting.
