I will stipulate that Fox News is stupid, the City of Boston is stupid, the police are stupid and that millions of Bostonians are stupid.

These things are well known. They were well known to the people who placed these devices. The result was predictable. Shouldn't the people who placed the signs illegally be held responsible for the predictable consequences of their illegal actions?

If I intentionally use fireworks to stampede a rancher's herd off a cliff, is he going to be interested in my opinion that his cows were pretty stupid to go running off a cliff because of a few fireworks?

That's all FICTION, concocted in your own mind. If these people were such premeditated geniuses, why did their "secret scare" plan FAIL in the other 9 cities?

Interesting analogy, and entirely appropriate. Menino, his police and the entire city of Boston ran off a cliff like a herd of spooked cattle.
