More violence in Massachusetts

Postby Tesseracts » Fri Apr 19, 2013 7:00 am

Tonight a police officer was shot at MIT. There are also shootings and bombings going on in Watertown right now.

Why do you think all of this happening at the same time? Is it a copycat thing?

I live in MA. If I get bombed, call the police.

When I first saw this story breaking I was like, "Well yeah, people shoot guns a lot, so is the media just playing on everyone's Massachusetts sympathies to inflate this story some?" But apparently NOT. In any event, it sounds like at least a couple of those things are connected.

I guess, if there's a bright side to this, it's hopefully the same two crazies, and not another band of them.

I think it's been confirmed that it is. In fact, one's dead already, and there's a manhunt for the second.

The manhunt's heating up, too. I just hope that the second guy is caught soon enough.

Is it time to call out the National Guard on this, or would that be premature right now? If this violence is related, I want the mastermind(s) caught and if possible, exploded.

The national guard couldn't do much more than what's being done right now, I think. From what I understand, most of Boston is under lockdown and they've got SWAT teams walking around looking for the guy. It won't be long before they find him, I'm sure.

Those cops are poets and don't even know it!
