Really? Libertarians question law enforcement actions in Boston

My thoughts exactly, Fishersville Mike:

Reporter just asked about Miranda warnings. Really?

Meanwhile,  Libertarians and the president of the Rutherford Institute are claiming the lock-down and door-to-door searches in Watertown, Massachusetts, bypassed civil liberties. Karen Kwiatkowski, a well-known Ron Paul follower, echoed other Libertarians when she wrote on Facebook, "6th District Republican votes for the horribly flawed and unconstitutional CISPA! We weren't watching because FEDGOV is conducting martial law in Boston."

Really? Really? I never cease to be amazed at those who try to be armchair quarterbacks while seated safely away from the action.

Walk a mile in the shoes of law enforcement and emergency workers in the middle of the Boston Marathon bomber manhunt including gun battles.


Walk a mile in the shoes of the 26-year-old M.I.T. police officer shot and killed, or in the shoes of the 33-year-old Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority officer, a husband and father and VMI grad, lying in a hospital bed in critical condition. A city was in fear for five days ... three people at the marathon were killed and over 100 others injured. Limbs blown off, terror on the streets, no sleep.

Tell those people you disagree with how law enforcement handled this situation. And while you're at it, watch the video of thousands on the streets of Boston waving American flags, shouting "USA! USA!", cheering, and applauding those men and women who worked to bring peace back to the streets.

And when you voice your objections to those First Responders and citizens who lived through it all ... I want to be there to watch their reactions. Heh.

Bombing suspect apprehended ... Bostonians line streets to applaud law enforcement and firefighters

Boston's manhunt finally came to an end Friday night when the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect was apprehended. After this city spent hours in lock-down when law enforcement encountered the suspects in the wee hours of Friday morning, resulting in the death of the older suspect and the escape of the younger one, police spent the day searching house-to-house in Watertown. Finally, shortly after 10:00 p.m., the suspect was apprehended.

After it was over, Boston's citizens formed a gauntlet on both sides of the street as emergency vehicles and law enforcement officials left the scene. And they cheered. And they applauded. And they waved American flags and reached out to touch the outstretched hands of emergency personnel as they passed in vehicles.

A Tweet from the Boston Police Department told it all:

CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.

CBS Boston has details of the capture. Tonight, Boston celebrates the end of this latest episode in terrorism, and America breathes easy for a little while....
