Sounds like the helicopter may not be able to stay up much longer. "Getting soupy up there"

Overcast?

Hopefully the cops and the FBI guys can wrap this up before “THE WHITE HOUSE” orders them to “stand down”.

Local news shows another perp face down kissing blacktop spread-eagled. His arms are stretched out with his hands arching up too much for him to have reached a cold temperature yet.

I wouldn’t be posting addresses but I’m sure it’s a safe bet that this jerk is not reading Free Republic right now.

From Telegraph.UK

Latest

07.15 (02.15) There are dozens of police officers on the scene backed by FBI and National Guard. Reporters on the scene have been told to power down their mobile phones to avoid accidentally tripping off any possible explosives.

07.10 (02.10) Police helicopters are circling overhead but complaining of poor visibility. “It’s very soupy,” say one pilot.

06.58 (01.58) This picture isn’t very clear but a local resident in Watertown says it shows a police car with shot out windows.

Wonder if Obama will use this to try to enact gun control legislation if the guns were legally purchased in Saudi Arabia?

Agree. I was impressed with the FBI guy. His calm, clear-thinking comments belie the lack of sleep he had to have gone through these past few days.

hmmmmm, MIT students possibly, what if they turn out to be occupy wall street types? Would the media try to pretend the bombing never happened?
