>>Calling it a "hoax" is getting old. It wasn't hoax. No one made any threats, there were no devices made to look like a bomb. It wasn't hard to tell what it was and that it wasn't dangerous.
Bingo.
The fact that they were up for 2-3 weeks in several other cities, with no official overreaction, says something. What is says, does not reflect well upon Boston's crack police and overall "homeland security".
The "jump" to calling it a hoax was totally appropriate after the devices were found NOT to be dangerous to civilians and structures, but before it was revealed that it was an incredibly stupid marketing campaign for an equally stupid TV show on an equally stupid TV channel, run by an equally stupid media corporation, run by an admitted communist.
An all you can come up with, your best shot, is "lame????"
I agree 100%. If we as Americans weren't running around like screaming ninnies we would not play so easily into their hands (e.g. spending a fortune in over-reacting to everything under the sun).
I wish that as a nation we had the fortitude to admit that you can't prevent dedicated attacks by an enemy within your borders, some people ARE going to die... Victory depends not on their deaths, but upon our reaction to it. If this seems unjust, it is... We live in a fallen world, but there will be justice in the end-- God's perfect justice. If that is not reassuring, then one who fears death should move to a rural area that is not likely to be attacked.
