They're safer with the police than with the Boston public.

Iagree Rumor is that they had facebook posts suggesting they are Islamic converts. I don't know how anyone could possibly know that at this point since we don't even know their names yet. But if they are Islamic terrorists, they will be much better off with the police. Hopefully they aren't American citizens so we can give them a full trial with all of the benefits and freedoms we enjoy.

Should have sent the LAPD after these guys. We won't go into politics too much, but I know which "shoot first, ask questions later..." force I want hunting terrorists.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but MBTA has been shutdown. Taxi service is shutdown. FAA flight restrictions over Watertown. "Shelter in place" order is active.
