The stupid, it burns.
It certainly does. How embarrassing for you.
The wrong answer to terrorism is what we're doing right now.
If you mean refusal to profile then yes. If you mean what Boston did? uh, no.
What our government is teaching prospective terrorists is that all they have to do is manage to get two jackasses who are willing to die to commit mass-murder, even if they kind of suck at it (let's face it, when they blew up those bombs in Boston they did commit their intended deed but an hour earlier and 10x as many people would be dead or missing legs.)
Well halfwit, they weren't willing to die. They never expected to be caught. They had more bombs and were planning more attacks. They also went to the race when security was at it's most lax - an hour earlier there were still too many dignataries there.
Then they pop a cop trying to rip off a convenience store and toss (non-working; they didn't explode) bombs out the window while trying to elude the cops.
Yeah about that, no. They were at a convenience store to buy food when it was being robbed. The bombs that were tossed worked (ask the cops who were injured).
The payoff for doing this is that an entire city shuts down to literal empty sidewalks and train service is halted along a hundred-mile+ stretch.
About that - the payoff of dropping IEDs and another pressure cooker bomb out the window is what shut down the city. That and one suspect on the loose with an undetermined amount of explosives and/or suicide belt. But by all means, go about your business Boston. Just pay no attention to the crap on the roads, especially to the folks on bikes.
Even worse now the authorities are allegedly preventing residents who were away from their homes from returning there! You are now being forcibly dispossessed of your residence! Yeah, it's temporary, but so what -- that's my damned house, not yours! Get the hell out of my way!
Oooh, bad ass here. Please refer to the stupid and how it burns.
Need I remind people that the entire point of terrorism is to terrorize? To create economic havoc in a given area through violence, and by doing so advance some social or political goal?
The City was shut down for ONE DAY. The suspect was caught. The city was sweeped for IEDs and they were removed. Back to business as usual, except you see a state united, with a steely resolve. Your way? the suspect is still out there, people continue to live in fear. The IEDs? meh, maybe they don't go off right?
What sort of lesson is the jackass in the Oval Office along with those crap-for-brains idiots in Massachusetts sending to our enemies around the world?
Stay the **** out of Boston.
Two *******s shut down a city of 7 million people who then cower in fear in their homes.
No one was cowering in fear. Everyone was cooperating so law enforcement could catch the POS. Perhaps you missed the celebration after?
Screw that and screw them.
Tough guys of the internet - should be a sitcom.
What should be the response is that every American who lives in that area should go about their business while openly carrying a pistol, rifle or both.
Shoot that IED!!! Yeah, that's the ticket.
