But don't let me get in the way of your supreme ignorance coupled with latent bigotry.

1. He killed black people...cops do that every day.

2. He's not believed to be a Muslim!

No reason to be on lockdown, he's just a poor boy with some problems.

Sometimes I wonder WTF is wrong with our country.

All they can talk about is the "calming" meme that this may have been only one or two white guys. Nothing to see here folks. If they were Muslims, this would be blown into an army of terrorists, with a proportionate paramilitary response.

The Boston lockdown occurred after a car chase and police shoot out. The cops knew the suspect was running on foot and likely wounded in a residential area.

The lockdown was to find him within the residential area.

Here, no sense shooter was injured. No sense locking people in would enable police to search and catch the guy.

I don't think the situations are the same.

The lock down of Boston didn't occur until 4 days after the bombing. I wasn't released from work early the day of the bombing and everyone was in the office the day after.

Boston went three days before the rats fled their hole and began killing again. We have no idea what this guy will do when cornered, but I doubt it ends well.

Shooter has a gun.

Guns = OK here in the US. Bombs = bad.

I guess you didn't get the memo.
