BOSTON POLICE REPORTING "WE GOT HIM"

I have been at the movies. I am very happy he was captured alive. However, I am extremely sad. At what price was he captured? There was no chemical. There was no biological. An entire major city was put under house arrest because a 19 year old broke through police barriers. The fear was tangible. The unknown and possible harm was right there on the surface for everyone to touch. However, the mold has now been built on how to take out a major city with a lone wolf. It will never be about the bombs....they will be a constant in our lives. It is a real and tangible danger.......no, the fear and use of the same to shut down a major metropolitan area when this was a routine armed and dangerous person.....to put people in house arrest......and not to have the media even address this issue.......for the folks cheering on the streets, be careful what you ask for......today in my opinion is nothing to cheer about.......today America succumbed to irrational fear and over reaction by a standing army.........and the terrorist won.....folks yelling USA USA.........they better get used to it........the mold has been perfected, and we have just given the red carpet to future terrorists.........

Why was an entire city put under house arrest when a perp was bleeding out in a boat in a back yard a few blocks from the initial confrontation.........and nobody is asking this question on the media.....we did not go to Iraq by accident.....the media was unwilling to ask the uncomfortable questions which required common sense. Each of us still had the vivid memory of the blood of innocents.....we had fear......and into this fear, it requires a vigilant media and leadership which asks.....is this the right response.
