Well, don't do that, sport. Pat yourself on the back every so often for being such a douchebag.

Lockdown order had been lifted by then.

Boston is America's 9th or 10th largest geographic region in terms of economic activity, at about a billion dollars a day. That makes it larger, just so you know, than Greece or Portugal.

A lengthy discussion with an economist I heard said that it was probably about $300 million or so of lost economic activity. Obviously not all economic activity was lost as MANY people worked remotely or were in other parts of the greater Boston area and had a "normal" (nearly normal, at best, I guess) work day.

Most of the people's liberties were respected with an exception of just a set of warrantless searches.

Wait, you mean the law that DOES NOT apply to the Massachusetts National Guard, which is the only military that I am aware of that was used?

The good news, is that I hear veteran police investigators reject this approach and claim that it wasted resources. Don't blame it on the police though, it's the politicians that demanded this.

Your stupidity knows no bounds.

Older brother was stripped naked at the scene.

And this sounds plausible to you?

Be prepared for even more loss of rights, more groping by govt....and for sheep to cheer it on because they have nothing to hide.

There was an eyewitness on a video ( embedded in some news story ) that gave all the specifics...but I don't remember every detail 'cept that one.

An eyewitness to a melee of events happening in the middle of the night. The cops that were there were not eyewitnesses?

BAsically the eyewitnesses version of events don't really make much sense. They ran him over THEN shot him? What kind of stupid way is that to kill someone? If they want him dead, just shoot him. Nobody is going to say you weren't justified when they're shooting back and throwing bombs out.

The cops did say that they put a cruiser on drive and abandoned the vehicle, which headed for the bastards, to draw fire. If that car had run him over, why not say so? It's not like people will complain...

Here's the bottom line-- the eyewitnesses' version suggests that the cops are lying, but there's no earthly reason for them to lie.

Here's a non-cop eyewitness verifying the cops' story. Oh, and the eyewitness was so close to the action bullets entered his house!

Kitzenberg told The New York Times that the other man—believed to Tsarnaev's younger brother, Dzhokhar—"got back into the S.U.V., turned it toward officers and 'put the pedal to the metal.' The car 'went right through the cops, broke right through and continued west.'"

Yeah it would have been perfectly safe for all to not have a lockdown in the city.

Contradictory reports are still contradictory reports.
