If this crazy jackass managed to get on a buss full of school kids or into a school full of kids with a bomb the whole entire country, including all the critics here on this board, would be screaming how the police did not protect the people in Boston.

Keeping as many people out of harms way, while inconvenient, is the best policy, IMHO.

1. Common sense should tell people it is best to stay indoors

and avoid possibly becoming a victim. I can't believe anyone would complain about being asked not to get caught in the crossfire in all this. They wouldn't have to ask me twice. I'd be laying as low as possible and trying to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
