Ed shut the fuck up the city is locked down to protect the citizens.The authorities don't know how many explosives are planted in that city they already have killed a police officer if people are walking around the city freely it's hard for the law enforcement to do there job he could hide among the crowds

(42,383 posts)Its a large city, but its possible to get around. These guys were in Boston a few days ago. They were in Watertown last night. Do you know where they were in between? Do you know that they didn't plant explosives at other locations that they could trigger with a cell phone call?
When there is a significant risk caution makes a lot of sense.
I'm curious what motivation other than trying to protect people some of the posters on this thread think is driving the officials concurrring in the steps that are being taken.

(2,795 posts)They know this guy is out there. They suspect he has explosives or is wearing an explosive vest. I wonder what Big Eddie's response would be if Boston was open for business today as usual and a train blew up, or a school or mall blew up and people were hurt and killed. Then he, and others like him, would be bitching about why the police and FBI didn't take precautions like closing down schools, transportation and businesses to keep people safe.
You can't win for losing with some of these big mouths in this country.
