A source close to the investigation said: “We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.
I know it's a British mag, hopefully there is a Brit here who can tell us if their reporting is tabloid or not.edit on 21-4-2013 by AGWskeptic because: (no reason given)

An important thing that folks tend to forget is that, “Your rights end when they interfere with another persons rights”. If there is a situation that requires you to cooperate with the police because something is putting others in danger, your right to freedom does not exceed others rights to be free from harm. In essence its not the police who are violating your rights, it's the “bad guy” who is violating them and the police are trying to stop them.

Shutting down the city and having everybody lock themselves in their homes didn't even find this kid. He was discovered outside of the search perimeter by a man AFTER the order was lifted.
A citizen reported what he saw to the police after he stumbled upon this very dangerous situation himself. Giving up your rights doesn't guarantee safety because 'authorities' couldn't keep people safe from this kid. That's what makes the arguement that it was improperly handled IMHO.

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.
Backwoods America? Where is that? I'm glad to know you only value the opinions of one city.
In another post you said one week would have been too long. Lucky they caught these guys who decided to make themselves as visible as the sun on a hot summer day.

Yes.We need a Common Sense political party.
This city was on lockdown for less than a day -- and what was the result of that? No more citizens physically harmed, and a terrorist murderer captured. If you didn't notice, as soon as suspect #2 was in custody, thousands of Bostonians were allowed to rush the streets to celebrate.
To me, that sounds more like neccessary action than it was martial law. As someone posted above, if they had kept the citizens on lockdown for over a couple days with/without capturing the suspect; then I could see concern.
In the meantime, I believe this was a very efficient ending to what seemed to be an incredibly chaotic situation.edit on 21-4-2013 by capone1 because: (no reason given)

Uhhhhhh yea, except that very order may have played a major part in his capture. If you actually focus on it, telling everyone to stay in their homes for a short while can work very well. Because, the kid couldn't blend in with people in public, and if (and when) he tried to hideout, those same people told to stay in their house were the ones who discovered him.
Essentially, that order eliminates a big amount of options the kid could have had to hide out.

The story as been reported ::: Older brother charged police, police shot and tackled him in the street. Younger brother drove at them in the car, cops jumped out of the way but older brother wasn't able to do the same due to injuries. Dragged him 20 feet.

That guy who found him is only alive for one of three reasons: the kid didn't see him, the kid didn't want to kill him, or most likely the kid wasn't capable of doing anything. Not because of the huge dragnet to keep him safe.
If he had not been injured and left a blood trail, it is very possible he would still be at large. He could have hid in the boat, turned the gas tank into a bomb, and waited until the order was lifted and escaped then.
The kid's face was getting out everywhere. His movement was going to be restricted because of as much as the lockdown. Maybe next time they should take even more of our rights and double the size of the dragnet to make sure nobody can get hurt.

This site motto is Deny Ignorance, which is exactly what the OP is doing. Just because this is a conspiracy site, doesn't mean that every tragedy should be labeled one.
IMO, that is the problem with this site. The site is getting watered down with to many off the wall theories that hold absolutely no water, which leaves no room for an intelligent discussion.
