What part of not Turner's job don't you get?

We pay cops in this city upwards of $200k a year (with OT)it's their job to deal with public safety and to have enough common sense to be able to make the distinction between a sign in poor taste and a suitcase nuke.

This is the same city that continues to elect Mumbles Menino with his tiny intellect and massive inferiority complex...........this screwup should come as no suprise to anyone with an IQ above the current airtemp in Beantown.

Yeah and no one thought a Jetliner word be used as a weapon and kill 3,000 people along with bringing down the WTC (1& 2).

If they had paid a hundred bucks (or whatever the cost) for a permit and nothing would have been said about this but what I don't like....the Toons getting so much publicity out of this stupid childish event.

No, lots of people thought that. In fact, a number of people thought it would kill a lot more than 3,000 people. One famous person -- and everyone who reads his books -- even thought a similar attack could wipe out Congress and most of the executive branch. Another semi-famous person even made a TV pilot about a hijacked jetliner being flown into a WTC tower.

Nine-eleven only happened because the right people weren't thinking about that possibility at the right time. It wasn't something that no one ever thought of -- just something the relevant people hadn't been trained to prevent.

(Not to nitpick, but "a Jetliner" [sic] didn't bring down both towers. It took two jetliners.)

[Paige]

I made my point. As for what took place in Boston.... I blame Turner and the others in this ..they knew eventually they would get free advertising.

If you want a thesis, I can writer as thesis as for your point on the nitpicking.

I'll guarantee you no one paid no stinking sign permit fees to any of the other cities where this campaign was run.........it's simply a case of Boston's over reaction and then a resulting lack of adults willing to admit they made a huge error in judgement.

Politicians trying to shift blame to two 20 something lamers.

I think this was an episode of "X-files"???

[cmsgop]

It was a spin off show from the X-Files, "Lone Gunman "I think
