"So you have these people acting with forethought to intentionally provoke a predictable response from the police. For that they are going to pay dearly."
You should post a disclaimer that is your opinion and not a fact.
I doubt that in their wildest of dreams did they anticipate such a ridiculous response.
They went about placing them in plain view with cameras rolling. Are the streets of Boston vacated of people and police at night?
Now we already know the people of Boston and the state have vacated their brains since they continue to re elect the likes of Kennedy and Kerry. So I don't expect all that much from them. But one at the least would expect some LEO to ask them what they were doing as they placed 38 of them in plain view about Boston with cameras rolling.
Your hysteria reminds me of the reaction of the mayor. Somebody is going to pay for exposing the incompetence of the politicos and the LEOs of Boston in this matter...that's the one true fact.
One of these punks is going to roll on the others. After that, the rest of them are going to be in a world of hurt!
