ALL OF BOSTON because they couldn't find ONE guy with a gun and MAYBE a few small bombs on his person. Geeeezzzzzz.....never mind the every day murderers, rapists, thugs, and general bad guys running around. It's OK to go out and mingle with them on a daily basis, but watch out for this ONE guy who is cornered in a very small part of a neighborhood AWAY from Boston. What a crock! As it was, my understanding is the police sweep MISSED him and a citizen found him hiding in a boat parked in a yard AFTER the all clear was signaled! Nice work!

The disruptive impact of the entire incident will not be lost on the up and coming b- squad terrorists, douche bags, and wannabes. I heard it said that - just the lockdown- not the search/ police activity- but just the disruption of economic activity - was estimated to be in excess of $300 million.
As I am not one to typically watch the national 'news' shows, I was really taken back by all the discussions about how this incident would impact obama's efforts regarding gun control, immigration, etc. The media's perspective seem to suggest that the biggest challenge for the current administration is to use current events to bring that great unwashed mass in flyover country up to speed with those who know what's best for us.
