Over.

[WilliamPitt]

It was VOLUNTARY.

And it worked.

Taken alive.

[MichiganVote]

1. Yup. And no further lives lost.

Congratulations Boston!

[morningfog]

2. And he wsa taken alive. Props to Boston for that feat.

[uponit7771]

3. amen

[dorkzilla]

4. Thank god no more bloodshed today

Best possible outcome. Thank the Universe.

[maddezmom]

5. Now go outside and take some pics!!!!

[femmocrat]

6. You must feel a huge load lifted, Will.

Thanks for your reports these past couple of days.

[HappyMe]

7. Wow.

That's cool.

[myrna minx]

8. What a relief.

[MuseRider]

9. It did.

I am relieved for all of you there, for us who watched in horror and I am thankful he is alive. All I could think about was my boys at 19. His future is not bright anymore, he will pay for this and maybe we will learn what caused so much anger.

[cheapdate]

53. I'm thankful he's alive also.

Although the whole, sorry story is heartbreaking. Our son is 18 and goes off to Tufts in the Fall. I remember my experience at age 19. It can be a volatile time for a young man. My heart goes out to the victims families, and to this boy, and to his family.

[leftieNanner]

58. Tufts!

My daughter is finishing her first year at Tufts. She loves it. This has been a scary week for us - both of our daughters are in the Boston area. I'm glad I'm not the only one whose heart is broken - by this entire event.

[Graybeard]

10. And receiving medical attention.

Suspect in custody. Hearing news police break out into applause. Count me in on that too. Great job Boston !!

[Baitball Blogger]

11. If this had happened in a red state there would be a casuality list for

"friendly fire."

[maddezmom]

13. Was that really needed?

[TDale313]

12. So glad he was caught. n/t

[XRubicon]

14. I was thinking if he gives up his brother fucked him up.

If he fought and the cops killed him he was a radical that needed killing.

[KittyWampus]

18. I had same thought but kept it to myself.

[XRubicon]

25. I feel bad for the kid, I probably shouldnt but I do.

[gvstn]

39. I do too

But I have to say when I first saw this pic, I felt sick to my stomach. Remember what he is accused of doing. He should be in custody.

[XRubicon]

42. I agree, dont get me wrong. he needs to be in jail forever.

The whole thing is just terrible.

[ms liberty]

48. I agree, with this and the sub-thread at the time of this post. n/t

[Blue_Roses]

15. Awesome police work!

All these agencies working together has just been so incredibly professional!

[mcar]

16. Well done Boston

Now get back to your regular doings. What a relief.

[randome]

17. Well done, indeed, Boston!

[greytdemocrat]

19. Good! Well done.

[LiberalElite]

20. FABULOUS!

[dhill926]

21. Fantastic!

great work by all.....

[Hekate]

22. Huge sigh of relief

He's got a lot of 'splainin' to do, and there are a lot of parties very interested in what he has to say. Interrogation, trial, prison. Long life behind bars.

[hifiguy]

23. This is one of the few times I've ever

been able to say anything good about cops, but I offer a sincere "Well done" to all involved in bringing him in alive.

Now try him in an open, normal federal court proceeding in the District of Massachusetts. And when convicted, lock him up and let the profilers and psychiatrists study him.

[DakotaLady]

30. Well stated ...

... I feel the same way.

Thanks

[Baitball Blogger]

38. I hope they keep him alive and study him.

I think it was a big mistake to off Timothy McVeigh. Especially when he said he still had information to divulge.

[Plucketeer]

54. I concur with what you're saying.

however, I can't IMAGINE what this manhunt's final tab will be. I'd like to see that final bill - divided by the number of folks who were victims. I'll bet the cost per victim is astronomical - I won't argue that it's TOO MUCH. Thing is, I'd like to know how that cost would compare to the many single homicides involving tan or black-skinned Or ANY Americans EVERY DAY. My point is that there's really no equity for the gun slaughter that is perpetrated in the USA on a daily basis. If it ain't Newtown or Boston - ah well......

[flamingdem]

24. Well done Boston police, FBI, the whole works

So glad they didn't Dorner him

[Zorra]

26. Sam...please bring everybody a round on me.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. Cheers!

I'm actually at a local bar called "Cheers" right now.

[texanwitch]

27. I am glad it is over.

Everybody can get some sleep tonight.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. It's nice to hear the crowd applauding the cops...

for a job well done.

[maddezmom]

29. And well deserved

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Absolutely!

They deserve raises and bonuses. I'm just happy it's (mostly) over.

[YOHABLO]

56. That's ridiculous .. that's what they are paid to do, when the situation arises.

[bluestate10]

60. People were relieved, that is why they were cheering more than any thing else.

But, all of the cops involved did a great job. I disagree with you, their work was beyond what we ask of them and pay them for, many of them routinely risked their lives.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. That it is.

Everyone survived and they caught him. Perfect!

[greatauntoftriplets]

40. I am sure the people of Watertown are feeling a great sense of relief.

I've been glued to the television all day watching this, and I'm 1,000 miles away!

[DinahMoeHum]

31. Yep, just saw it. Thank goodness that's over.

Now get some sleep.

[City Lights]

32. Sleep well tonight, Will! nt

[Ellipsis]

33. Now you can go back to focusing on being a dad.

... though I'm sure you'll be sharing this experience with the little squib years down the road.

Happy Day

[nolabear]

36. Time for a lot of joy in Boston. Y'all are one tough town.

[Condem]

41. Taken alive

No better words spoken!!

[cliffordu]

43. Props to Boston PD.

The Oakland PD, the LA County Sheriff's department and the Seattle PD could take a fucking lesson.

For reals.

[ailsagirl]

44. What a week it's been-- I'm so glad it ended the way it did.

[Logical]

45. And called off before they caught him. n-t

[Ken Burch]

46. Glad to hear it. Glad you're ok as well.

n/t.

[matt819]

47. How far are you from where he was captured? (nt)

[jpak]

49. I bet the B-town bars will be full tonight

[ms liberty]

50. A job well done by your PD, Will. Now -on to the important stuff...

Its Friday night in Boston, everyone's been stuck in their houses for 2 days, and your Patriots Day celebrations were cut short in the worst way...do I hear a party startin'?

[Cleita]

51. I gotta congratulate Bostonians for behaving like sane and adult people.

They allowed law enforcement and the first responders to do their job instead of going off half-cocked. When that woman saw the suspect in the boat, she called the authorities and then stayed put.

I hate to think if this had played out in some of our redder states, how vigilante justice might have been sought and a bigger death toll resulted.

A big hand to Boston from the mayor to the law, to the rank and file citizen!

[1gobluedem]

52. + 1000

Everyone did everything right.

[proud2BlibKansan]

55. Thought of you right away Will.

So glad it's over and it was as peaceful an ending as we could have hoped for.

[jimlup]

57. Relief is what I feel - not joy...

I guess that is probably what everyone else is expressing too but I will not join in the "celebration". This is just too awful of a series of events.

[ColesCountyDem]

59. Don't mess with Boston!
