The house to house search in the defined area didn't work. The state lifted the “Shelter in place” order which is when a civilian found the terrorist. If the house to house search was fruitful then I could see the government using this tactic again. This situation was extenuating and something I have never seen in my 45 years of living in Boston. Hopefully I won't have to see this again. I could see a couple of lawsuits appear for violation of constitutional rights because of this action. My main concern was the suspect was apprehended. I had two cousins and one friend(Boston Police) involved in the search. After these 2 assassinated one police officer and nearly killed another officer while lobbing explosives at them my main concern was for their safety. Someday in hind site I will look into the search house to house but right now I am satisfied with action.

There's nothing wrong with deferring judgment, especially when you have friends / family you are relieved are safe.

Many of us are looking at this from a purely analytical perspective, with no emotional attachment. That is why we have drawn our particular conclusions.

If my own family was in the perimeter I would probably now be saying "whatever, my family is safe right now, that's enough." I don't think anyone can blame you for that.

Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither.

all that expensive equiptment.

all that overtime paid in training.

all those federal subsidies.

The most effective weapon against a terrorist was an observant citizen.

must suck to be asking for more money for the keystone cops.
