To me, a Free American, Boston is NOT a hostile Environment, it's a nice beautiful city and it's a shame yall quasi-soldiers think it's cool to play with guns on the street to act all tough but I think it's sick and hard core Nazi in it's ideology.edit on 19-4-2013 by muzzleflash because: (no reason given)

Yeah but the Keystone Cops had billy clubs...
These cops have high powered weaponry.
Yeah because those .223/.556 AR 15's that the police are using which civilans can also own are the epitome of high powered weaponry.
Don't get me wrong if the government starts to push us police officers federal or local to carry M249's, AR 15's equipped with M203's and humvees with .50's attached I will see that as a huge problem. Until then......
Police can get m203s , armored IFV with 50 cals, RIGHT NOW.
Where have you been??
I don't know if they can get LMGs like a m249 but I bet they can.
It's all over the internet from a basic google search.

You're talking as if Boston is going to stay in this current state - that's ridiculous. This is a response to an event - these are special circumstances - Boston will once again be the same Boston over time (and perhaps come back stronger). All this "oh, they're taking away my rights" crap is ridiculous and selfish.

Just fyi.
History does repeat itself, although each time it varies in specifics.

But what happened? Oh yeah, the power tripping fascists didn't want to relinquish their newly found powers over everyone else, it was too tempting to resist.

Look muzzle I agree with you. I agree that some parts of our government are out of control. I also believe that anything is possible when it comes to the government foreign or domestic. I wouldn't put anything past them. People are capable of incredibly heinous things.
However I just can't agree with the way you view all police officers as jack booted thugs. However this is America and you have every right to your opinion. I would never try to take that away from you.edit on 19-4-2013 by TorqueyThePig because: (no reason given)edit on 19-4-2013 by TorqueyThePig because: (no reason given)

Apply simple logic my friends.
See, historically the way to treat terrorists is to never give into their demands and never grant unreasonable publicity to them. This way there is no incentive to commit terrorism acts for political gain.
However on our MSM, what do we have?
TERROR-MONGERING.
HYPE
MISINFORMATION
FEAR-MONGERING
The pure simple fact that the Mainstream Media is pushing this so hard, with all caps and bold letters, is giving the terrorists exactly what they want. Maybe the MSM is in cahoots with them ?
Boston apparently has become a quasi-police state with hysteria and fear running amok, if I were to believe the way the MSM presents it. Did I say Quasi Police state? I meant FULL BLOWN police state.
They are wearing military gear, have military grade weaponry, and have armored vehicles with air support.
That's the Military operating as if they were Police in the USA, and that's prohibited according to our founding principles.
I don't care that your paper says you are a cop, your gear and weapons say you are a totalitarian military man here to squash my nation and it's liberty. Sadly you officers fail to realize this most simple fact.
There is no more Law of this Land, there is only chaos, ignorance, and insanity.
State-Sponsored Terror on your State-Sponsored TV
Welcome to the New World Dis-Order folks.
Whatever happens with this terrorism:
1) NEVER give up your Liberties
2) NEVER agree to go to war over it
3) SPEAK OUT against the fascists and totalitarian/authoritarian agenda.
You are being brainwashed by the TV.
Turn it off. Step away and sever the chains that bind you in slavery to this system of fear which is being used to manipulate and control you.

I didn't want to treat them that way, but their policies and their attitudes force this harsh response.
Things aren't perfect and I'll be damned if I didn't demand improvements.
It will improve everyone's lives not just mine, it's a living standards issue.
I cannot accept 50% freedom, or even 75% freedom.
If you were really a cop than you know things are ultra screwed up on the inside of the force and that comes from the top and you either take orders or go put in your welfare application.

Not really. We are just nicer to Jewish people that's about the only real major difference.
We have a bigger prison population than Germany did.
We debate what rights should be suspended daily on a national level.
We go to war constantly, hell even more so than the Germans did.
We worship the state, and believe everything our propaganda says.
We single out specific groups in society and ostracize /demonize them any time they threaten the system.
Our police officers cannot be trusted, they plant evidence and lie on the stand constantly and use violence unfairly on suspects before they ever get a trial.
We spend more money on war than social uplift.
And we think our "American nationality" is a superior group to all other nations, just like the Nazis did.
US has Highest Incarceration rate in world
That's per capita and per overall number.
Did you just say we aren't anything like Nazi Germany?
Wow you are living in fantasy land!
This is eerily parallel to Nazi Germany, so much so we could call it the Fourth Reich.
