The real lesson from Boston

[blankslate]

WTF does that have to do with what I posted?

If you don't understand there's no use explaining it to you. Hint it has to do with the chances of the suspect getting away.

So wait, now the lockdown order was at least partially because he was wounded or is that just pure hindsight bullshit? If they didn't know that he was wounded AND the exact extent of said wound, and even then, my point is still valid. The hostages were still there. Its not like they fucking vanished or clicked their heels and went to Oz, the bad guy knew exactly where they were...

Depending on how injured the suspect was the shelter in place order left less opportunity for the suspect to grab a hostage wandering about outside. What don't you get about that?

Hell if I know and since its not really in the scope of this discussion I frankly don't care.

Given the inanities of your previous posts and the one I'm replying to that's not very surprising.

How did they win??? Ok, see they call this type of attack "terrorism", pay close attention to that word. See the first half and how it says "terror" that is because that is the ultimate goal of said attacks, to cause terror. Exactly how much better would you like to prove that the city of Boston was absolutely terrified than implementing a quasi-martial law, issuing shelter in place orders and violating peoples rights? All perpetrated by two idiots with materials that can be purchased from one brick and mortar store.

And for the record, I want the police to do their job to the best of their legal abilities and allow everyone else to go on about their lives in the way that said people best see fit. Obviously a ridiculous and absurd desire in your mind. If they are actually in pursuit of the badguy or have intel that he is in a specific place I have no issues with them securing the area to get the badguy. Shutting down a major fucking city is beyond absurd

Wow dude you don't get it. They lost they got captured, the shelter in place order didn't last.

Sure you're for the police doing their jobs... while in your posts you castigate them for trying to capture the suspects as quickly as possible. WTF utter stupidity.

How about just telling the people the truth about the situation and advising them, but not requiring nor implying that it is required, to avoid traveling if you can? Give people the information about the situation and allow them to make up their own minds, I know its one of those way out there ideas but I kinda like it.

What truth wasn't told?? Everyone watched it unfold live on every electronic device known to man. We literally had the information up to the second.

No one was "required" to stay in, hell the "stay in" warning was even lifted later in the day, before the suspect was even caught. We even have Boston area residents on this forum who said they were about and about and passed Police who said nothing to them.

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill, you really just sound like a drama queen.
