In Boston and suburbs, shutdown is surreal (Don't call it Martial Law)
Washington Post ^ | Friday, April 19, 2013 | Kevin Sullivan

Throughout Boston and its surrounding suburbs — a metro area usually clogged and bustling on a weekday morning — residents found themselves ordered to stay in — or stay out — of their homes Friday morning, as police launched an unprecedented hunt for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, an immigrant of Chechen origin who grew up in Cambridge and was identified in video footage from the site of Monday’s deadly attack.

The major universities that are the city’s lifeblood shut down. The web of buses and squealing transit cars of the oldest underground subway in the nation ground to a halt. The gleaming skyscrapers with names of insurance companies and banks in downtown Boston were lightly peopled.

Stuck without any transportation, Bostonians watched televised news updates and tracked social media sites at their homes, glancing outside to ponder empty streets and shuttered businesses.

“When big men with guns and bullet proof vests order you to get out, you get out,” said Tim Fiedler, 23, who lives on Norfolk Street, where the Tsarnaev family lives.

A notice from Gov. Deval L. Patrick’s office said residents of Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Allston, Brighton and the entire city of Boston should stay indoors.

got that right.

It’s showing more and more the police screwed this up,..

The only reason why they came to light is because of a failed car jacking but how did they get away with all the cops out on the street, hell bozo and his free loading wife was less than half a mile away from the bombers.

All the cops out there, cell phone service shut down, transport shut down all over the city, taxis nothing at sometimes and they still have not got him.

bozo right now is shouting kill him so he does not have to put up with where to charge him, under what charges, what courts and dead people cannot talk.

All this regime wants to do is to focus on ripping the constitution, social justice and have concerts and dinners and vacations.

The media have been truly awful, less than a year, here, more than a year, went to school, went out of the country, they then look for hero’s yet again, praise Obama who has not done a damn thing, interview idiots who know these terrorists and I must say they are idiots whom think it’s cool to know him and think this is a laugh or something.

If we had more Congress Critters with balls, they could use this to advantage on the immigration issue. Seal the borders and deport all the riff raff that shouldn’t be here anyway.

I’m sure they checked in with CAIR and the local Imams , that’s if they have checked these mosques and did they take their shows off before going on and was women not allowed in and were the dogs told to stay outside?

Everything about this is too fishy now, car chase, shoot out, thousands of cops, city shut down and still he;s out there.

I’m sorry, but I don’t care much for this loudmouth state cop. I thought he was out of line yesterday in his presser, and today he’s toned it down, but still. Something not very impressive about him. Seems like another guy that thinks we work for him, not the other way around.

Is door to door warrentless searches by military police, Federal ATF, SWAT, and Watertown police in keeping with the 4th ammendment? What records are they keeping? This guy had a gun? This guy had drug paraphenalia on his coffee table?
Just wondering aloud any legal beagles out there?

It’s Friday. I’m sure searching Mosques is a no no.

Massive screwup, yes.
The fugitive has probably committed suicide by now and they’re not looking in the dirty river, the sewers, or the mosques. But I repeat myself.

Sheltering in Place is the DHS term at their buildings as a place of shelter with-in the building during an “Occurrence”

They have just migrated it and with the medias help pushed it onto to the populous.

For this event many are OK with it and so far no one has challenged it.

Cops are definitely talking now about how long can we keep the public at bay and locked in?
Not long although this is MASS and they wouldn’t say shit if they had a mouth full and there mouths have be full for a long time.

Just wait till all the muslim recruits in the ghetto figure out that that impressive show of force is quickly diluted when tasked to dozens of neighborhoods.

I'm sure that terrorists-in-waiting are already doing calculations. Two men without any particular training or plan of escape created a war zone in the middle of a large city. One hasn't been found yet - and he has no illusions about his survival.

A hundred of such teams - if not just ten - can easily bring the martial law upon us all. Cui bono? The list would be long.

The Mumbai attack was the first that used this new style of terrorism, one that borders on a military incursion. Those attacks are devastating. Expect to see more of them.

Boston is a liberal city, full of girlie guys and boyish looking women, students and radical left overs from the 60[s.

Yet these two get radical but saying that when you hang out in Cambridge probably the most communist city in the country then maybe it’s the left wing talk blame America which got him to where he is.

Boston supported terrorism, gave money and guns to terrorists called the IRA, those guns and money was used to kill people in the UK and now Boston has reaped what it supported.
I have been in bars there when people come up and ask for money for their so called political prisoners in the IRA.

Notice Jim how the diversity PC tolerant crowd there tackled a Saudi guy because in their words he was hurt and was trying to get away.
Sounds like racial profiling to me.

oh I agree but sadly we don’t have a party with any balls, and when we do get someone with guts like Sarah, Col West etc then the stupid party knocks them down.

bozo is right now trying to get his anti gun and pro illegal immigration bills back on track, never let a crisis go to waste for them

We are seeing how sheep in big, liberal cities react to their fascist shepherds.

I would assume although the city is issuing orders in effect they are not being enforced and the “lockdown” is voluntary except in areas where they have active crime scenes. Most people probably are staying inside because they want to. If police are searching homes etc without a warrant that is a different story...

his brother got over kill and with all those rounds going down then surely he must have been hit unless his brother stood there to let little other get away but either way the first thing we do in the military in a shoot out is sort out angles, and cuts offs.

Seems these keystone cops have not done either and just go to door to door searching

agree, this is getting embarrassing a whole city even locked down for how long and the only reason why these two surfaced is because of a failed car jacking where they still got away.

Imagine if these were proper trained Chechens and they had cells in 10 large cities now.

Do a bombing, stay off the airwaves, no social media or calling.

I take it they have checked all mosques

That would be racial profiling and our First Muslim President will never allow that.

The fact that the Muzzies put nails and ball bearings in the bomb has nothing to do with their religion.

See the Atlanta Olympic bombings to see that is what Muzzies do. Oh, I forgot, Americans don't know Atlanta was a middle Eastern terrorist attack. Forget I said that.

That reminds me of an incident in Tucson a few years back. Some guy went off his meds, killed one person then was “at large”, they shut down a big chunk of the city, including my path home from a movie, many hours later they found that he’d killed himself... in his own apartment... adjacent to where he killed the other guy. I got a buck that says the first cop that said “hey did anybody check his apartment” got fired.

I heard someone on Fox say that some of the blood found at the scene was tested and matches the suspect who is still at large. So... it sounds like he was indeed wounded.... and perhaps laying dead under some shrub somewhere around there. Perhaps he’s under my sister’s porch... her house is right there in the middle of everything.

Listen my Children, and you shall hear,

how two jihadi punks kept us in fear.

It was the 18th of April in twenty-thirteen, when two jihadi brothers, 26 and 19,

Made a million+ of us shelter-in-place,
Too scared to dare show our face.
Our country is in danger of becoming a disgrace.
