Looks like the Lockdown of the Boston Metro area has been lifted. The bad news is that the bombing suspect is still at large.
When the events started early this morning I found the lockdown was a great idea. Allegedly the suspects had killed a cop, and carjacked a civilian to escape. It made perfect sense to stunt Boston’s horrific traffic, and close off the public transit which both gives escape routes, but also supplies crowds that can be harmed with bombs and suicide vests.
Locking down the areas around where the suspect may be makes perfect sense. But the area kept getting bigger rather than smaller as the day went on, and really it started to reeking of martial law.
**BREAKING**
I’m currently watching the news as I type and there it talk that the suspect has been found. I’m going to chill out with my wife and watch the news, and I’ll give you all an update in the morning.
I could smell the Martial Law from here…
It’s not close to you is it Weerd?
I’m glad y’all are good. I can certainly say the perp didn’t try your’s or JayG.’s house because we did not hear he was shot by a homeowner.
FAL would certainly do a number on him.
According to Fox News (CNN pisses me off too much) he was caught.
