I'm listening to my police scanner.....this is insane
Reddit has a thread of people following it, if you want to google it.

There have been reports of explosives and grenades. Also, a stolen police vehicle. I'm just relaying what others have reported....so who knows.

The little farking terrorist probably got a kick out of the timing of that.
I am so glad that everyone is safe and that this nightmare is (hopefully) over. What really gets me, is that both brothers were wearing iconic clothing with "capitalist" logos and designer names, yet, would do perpetrate this act of terror on Americans. The oldest brother was quoted as having no American friends, yet was married to an American and wanted to be a part of our Olympic team? Ya don't like us? GTFO! Go back to where you DO have friends!
They felt there was enough intel to know he was in a certain location. Now we know, in fact, he was actually right outside the perimeter, and the entire door-to-door search was futile. It was almost dumb luck we caught this guy - the only thing the authorities got right was that he was probably in Watertown (although some said going towards CT), he got away by foot (even that was conflicting - ie CRV/Honda Civic) and they believed to have at least wounded him the night before.
They said there was heavy police presence in the quiet upscale neighborhood yesterday but I didn't see anything.

If anybody wanted to call me out on a slippery slope fallacy they might have an argument, actually. Except that I'm asking a question in a hypothetical sense, "what's too much for you to swallow," and not necessarily saying "this is the first rock in a landslide."

I'm still interested in the thought experiment and the hypothetical.

How come all these guys are wearing body armor and have "assault weapons" and armored vehicles and everything else to be safe? Shouldn't they just have double-barrel shotguns like Joe Biden says is all you need? Just go on a porch, fire two blasts into the air, and there'll be no problem.

The podium is that way. >
Apparently the non-military police need military body armor and "military assault weapons" because they're up against guys throwing bombs but you don't need that stuff if the guys throwing bombs are in your house. You apparently just need to fire a double-barrel shotgun in the air from your porch like Joe Biden says.

That's funny considering you dismiss reality. You know . . . . we wanted real reform because of all of the mass killings using guns. Never mind that all of the mass shooters were on psychotropic drugs and played games simulating killing people on a regular basis.
It didn't hit me until I heard a third of fighter pilots were going to be grounded because of the sequester. Turns out their training will be supplemented with simulation . . . . video games.
Then it hit me . . . simulation is how you train. Call of Duty, GTA, Medal of Honor, Gears of War, etc., they're all training tools. Yet we have nothing in your recent gun ban that failed to pass to address medication (other than restricting rights) and video game violence. No. We have the 94 gun ban and then some.
Wow. It's almost like they want to restrict gun ownership instead address the problem. My "joke" was that the government would rather go after the tool (in this case a pressure cooker which the majority of people use legally) and make them criminal.
