How is this a path to a police state?
Get a grip guys, New York was just like this on 9/11 to.
If it starts happening everywhere around the country then yeah start worrying, but for right now its for the safety of law enforcement/military personnel and civilians. Not to mention it will make finding explosives (Which they have found another one today) and obviously traps this SOB.

It is like 9/11. It isn't some cop killer, the guy is a terrorist, and no one knows what he has planned. The terrorists won when Bush passed the PATRIOT act. When we gave up our freedoms, when we [i]allowed our representatives to pass a bill that traded our freedom for security[/i], on that day they won. Here you are seeing a city scared of an individual, doing their best to stay out of the police's way in finding the asshat.

[quote]It is like 9/11. It isn't some cop killer, the guy is a terrorist, and no one knows what he has planned.[/quote]The bombers only killed 3 people with their bombs, vs. how thousands on 9/11. There also wasn't anything dramatic, like crashing planes or taking out skyscrapers. This is still nothing by comparison. [quote]The terrorists won when Bush passed the PATRIOT act. When we gave up our freedoms, when we [i]allowed our representatives to pass a bill that traded our freedom for security[/i], on that day they won.[/quote]No arguments here. [quote]Here you are seeing a city scared of an individual, doing their best to stay out of the police's way in finding the asshat.[/quote]Yeah, an entire city has shut down out of fear over one guy with a gun and some IED cookware. Terrorists' main objective is to cause terror (hence the name). Sounds like mission accomplished.

Edited by Raptor: 4/19/2013 5:56:54 PMWho also just happened to PLACE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES IN RANDOM PLACES. Not to mention hes running around with a sucide vest on and an assault rifle God forbid we try and keep people safe, but don't worry everyone I am sure the Boston population will be sent to FEMA death camps soon.

[quote]Who also just happened to PLACE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES IN RANDOM PLACES.[/quote]Well, he's not doing that now, since he's on the run. [quote]Not to mention hes running around with a sucide vest on and an assault rifle[/quote]The suicide vest is an interesting development, if true. Still, to shut down a city the size of Boston?

It's only been a few hours, and it's reasonable to think there could be more explosives throughout the whole city since they are known to have made more (they were throwing them out of the back of the car during the police chase). Marshal law hasn't been declared and the police aren't randomly entering homes or searching people, it's just a temporary lockdown for people's safety.

Their may still be unexploded ordinance in the city, they have already found and defused another one today.

Do we know for a fact he doesn't have any plans?
