The Controversial Moment SWAT Teams Ordered Innocent Neighbors Out Of Their Houses At GUNPOINT
Mail Online ^ | April 23, 2013 | Daily Mail Reporter

Posted on 04/23/2013 2:20:24 PM PDT by Biggirl

A startling home-made video now shows the terrifying moments where Watertown residents were forced out of their homes at gunpoint as SWAT teams performed door-to-door searches as they hunted the second marathon bomber. While millions of Bostonians waited in their houses on Friday during the city-wide lockdown, the people of Watertown were faced with SWAT officers yelling at them to get out of the buildings immediately.

This all started when one of our barhoppers said I was drunk. I don't drink. I don't hang around bars. I wasn't drunk.

We don't have any evidence to support your teetotaler assertion. How do we know this isn't propaganda?

How do you explain your incoherent comments posted last night? Did your cat hijack your keyboard, or did your evil twin escape from the attic? You've got some 'splainin to do, Lucy.

Some on this thread would include Freepers, I’m pretty sure as you have to be a member of Free Republic to post. But, I guess I owe you an apology. You surely never said Freepers....

That’s right ~ but someone who thinks she has a dispute did say “lie” ~ and “lied” with absolutely no foundation. Sometimes I get impatient with people who don’t know how to debate a question.

The incoherence was in the mind of the beholder ~ stay up late beyond your mother’s bedtime for you and stuff just happens, but you have much more familiarity with cheap and tawdry dives and how people behave there than I do.

We had three people make all sorts of definitive statements about what was going on in that video, so I asked them, including the original poster "what did they say" ~ and ~ well, you know the story. Nobody answered. Apparently they really didn't know what was going on in the video!

That's the statement you found incoherent ~ to wit, my asking three posters before you if they knew what the people on the ground said about it.

That's not incoherent ~ that's the heart of the debate, and any kind of answer quoting a participant would have converted the video from propaganda to news.

From boats to donuts, a sample of the maundering diatribes:

The 4th amendment does not extend the middle eastern rights of hospitality to mad dog bombers hiding in your boat! Besides, nobody tried to hide him.

you are their ring leader ~ you are trying to find any reason you can why the perp has to be freed ~ you probably didn’t realize that there’s plenty of evidence already that’s going to get him executed.

You don't suppose that maybe the cops doing the searching for a mad dog killer like this might have had their minds on CATCHING HIM ~ or at most doughnuts ~ they did leave some donut shops open for them.

LMAO—no problem with cogent discussion. That’s not what you produced last night, painful as it was to disentangle the rambling.

you are feigning ignorance of all the threads on that exact same video that’d been fouling up FR and other sites all day long.

and made it appear that I was stating

Sorry, I didn't intend that. I was answering the question you posed tho, ie did anyone have a reply...I always do get a little upset when I see the suggestion of "government rights" tho, please pardon me.

No one else answered the question but one person did post the URL to another thread that had more discussion about it. I forgot to get it but you can backtrack our replies and find it.

And, thank you for your kind reply. With all the anger we have I appreciate reasonable people. ;)

Drama Queen thread.

Let me know when the Boston area people, who applauded the police, start complaining about the police tracking down the terrorist punk.

There an exception to getting a warrant called the emergency administrative search rule. But that would apply more if there were leaking gas in an area and immediate action were needed. Here one could argue the same should apply. First, ever, if they were searching for a terrorist, they had no right to search people who came out of the house, because none of them was the terrorist. Second, unlike leaking gas, the cops had no real information about where the terrorist was. I do not believe the emergency administrative exception applied here.

Thanks for your good explanation rcofdayton. We worry about ‘what’ the laws are, but Obama and Holder will just do what they please, regardless.
