Hats off to all the law enforcement personnel up in Boston. What a professional, damn good job they did. God bless them! After the bomb went off and they were trying to ID the terrorists why didn't the FBI provide the names of those who they had interviewed because the Russians said they were terrorists? IMHO, big screw up.

The FBI had been tipped off by a foreign gov't 2 years earlier, started a file/dosier about the older brothers' involvement with terror group/s. The FBI investigated and cleared him. Fast forward a couple of years.... Yeah.....good job guys.

A 19 YO punk prevails against scores of them in a gunfight.
When he drives away, they can't catch him.
When they find his car, they can't track him.
When they search the area"door to door", they overlook him.
Once a citizen is FINALLY allowed to go outside, he looks in his boat, sees the punk, goes in the house and calls the cops.
Cops arrive, shoot up the boat, they can't say if he returned fire or even had a gun, and finally talk him into giving up.
THIS is the performance you all are applauding.
Damn....just Damn.
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

This isn't much different than a combat situation meaning threat assessment isn't an exact science never was, it's primarily an educated guess based on available intel. Lots of unknowns and plenty of hypothetical scenarios to deal with as public safety being the number one issue.Mistakes made ? sure there were but won't ever change unless LE replaces present equipment with crystal balls..

Woody, I've tried to make your comments responsive to mine, and I can't.
Did you intend them to be?

Combat situation???? Hundreds of police surronding a wounded 19 year old kid in a boat? What assessment would call for that level of assets? He might have a gun? Fugitive teams bring down some real bad guys every day with 4-6 guys and less. This was just a good old fasioned CF, complete with every politician and high level police official trying to get as much air time as they could muster.

Glad you know all about me sitting behind your computer. I'm smart enough to see a CF when I see one. You, not so much. Flyboy? Combat? How many innocent children did you kill?

Any credibility/respect you might have had......gone with that statement alone.

Laffin'......from 'Flave that would mean something. As he pointed out, you're just another tough guy on the 'net calling out folks as babykillers and telling others to "GFY". Does it feel empowering when you do something "here" that you can't pull off outside your mom's basement?
You folks are good for my soul.....makes me chuckle.

You guys are real good at name calling but the content of your posts is not so good. Any moron can call names. You sound like some 3rd graders. Carry on children.
