Since the incident in Boston and the intense media coverage of all that is happening.
Lets hope they catch the remaining terrorist without more loss of life.
I have noticed a few details that have emerged from various sources, LEOs, media, citezen interveiws and internet posts.
Think on these tidbits of info that have in some cases slipped out.
1. The bombs were planted in the Most Heavily Secured and survailed location in the city/ race route.
2. Within minutes of the blast all cell phone traffic was shut down, this was clearly stated by a Boston PD spokesman and reported by media and civilians.
3. There was then a report from the Cell Phone providers that they did not shut down the
system and were not asked too. Local police used a cell jammer to do this, but later other spokesman denied it was done.
4. The Massechusets Govenor shut down the city and all public and private transportation, businesses were ordered to close and admit no one to there premises.
5. All residents of the city were ordered to stay indoors and off the street or be arrested.
6. Local, State, and Federal LEOs have surrounded the suburb of Watertown and locked down the city. Military Police have now been brought in with armored vehicales and blocked all roads out of city.
7. Police are currently moving in a skirmish line and searching house to house, removing residents while they physically search there homes and businesses. This is being done without lawfull warrents to search.
8. When the police confronted the suspects a gun battle ensued with
bullets and grenades flying, video and witnesses show 100s of shots fired spraying the entire area with bullets, with complete disregard to bystanders, several residents have reported multiple round coming through walls and windows. It will be intresting to see the recoved bullets to see who was fireing and will the leos pay for the damage, also how many may have been killed by that gunfire that we havent heard about yet.
With all the coverage i have not heard anyone declare marshal law, but the actions of the state goverment are just that. They are afraid to use the words that will scare the public. But
with the current restrictions on travel, and warrentless searches this is exactly what they have done.
Think on these events and what these actions could mean in the future.
Do or Do Not, There is no Try!
