We don't even have proof you are in Boston either!
Logical Fallacy Alert :
Argument from Authority
Fallacious arguments from authority often are the result of failing to meet at least one of the required two conditions (legitimate expertise and expert consensus) structurally required in the forms of a statistical syllogism.[1][2] First, when the inference fails to meet the first condition (inexpert authority), it is an appeal to inappropriate authority, which occurs when an inference relies upon a person or a group without relevant expertise or knowledge of the subject matter under discussion.[3][4]
Please realize you are not making a rational argument.
You have neither legitimate expertise nor expert consensus.edit on 21-4-2013 by muzzleflash because: (no reason given)

did you have a look at the picture at liveleak: www.liveleak.com...
if you zoom in (chrome has control + to 500%) and have some imagination, you can see about a meter behind him, his same profile as if it was photoshopped/altered, his stature seems off to, like his left shoulder looks to sharp
can be just my imagination, but there is something off in the whole picture
i apologize for posting this in here, but there are so many topics on ats about this bombing, i dont know where to place it / cant be bothered to look thru them all

I can't believe anyone wants to look through bloody crime scenes looking for evidence.
You don't believe in crime scene investigators?
I have seen them in real life, they exist.
People actually devote their entire careers to it.
And most of them are sane normal people for the most part. They aren't all demented just because they investigate bloody crime scenes. They are doing a hard job that someone has to do, that most don't want to do.
Just because you are squeamish to blood does not justify attacking forensic detectives and suggesting they should not be studying the crime scenes through attempting to shame them as "weirdos".
I am glad we have detectives, they don't always bust the criminals but when they do it is worth it.

Just setting the facts straight.
Closing down a town of 30k is a lot different than closing down Boston.

And so I assume you disagree with shutting down areas that suspects are thought to be in?
If you don't agree with it, what is your alternative to find and capture a dangerous suspect?

The other half of this is people who knowingly and willingly make up a conspiracy where there is no evidence of one

Boston is probably the only major city that if you *&^k with them, they will shut down the whole city...stop everything.. and find you.

I don't think the quote applies for a a half day of house arrest. Maybe a week.
I don't really see "liberty" as existing on a sliding scale, to me it is kind of like pregnancy, a binary condition that is either present or is not. In which case the quote applies.

I know first hand the citizens didn't have a problem, at least the vast majority, to me that's all that matters not the opinions of the backwoods of America. A sacrifice to end the problem, an a half day for the people of Boston wasn't much to give for it.
