Absurdity… Boston Response.

I’ve seen a lot of folks around the net complaining about the response the DHS/FBI/BPD used when they were searching for the suspects.

LEO’s locked down an entire town. If you view it like this:

 

It does bring some questions into your mind. Military vehicles deployed in an American town used to be thought of as impossible. One one hand, I agree this is a severe breach of trust and protocol. But on the other hand, I have folks who I care about who wear the badge. I want them to have all the best firepower and gear they can get to keep them safe.

So the problem I have is balance.

I’m not angry that LEO’s felt they had to lock down a town and inspect houses to find suspects.

I’m angry we the people have had our rights eroded to the point that LEO’s have no choice but to lock a town down to find a suspect.

I’m angry that in a FREE town the LEO’s would only have to stay on the outer limits and wait for a call telling them where to pick up the body. I’m angry that people in America have elected so many idiots to power that the 2nd amendment is now debatable rather than a STAND ALONE RIGHT! I’m angry that we the people don’t have the ability to possess the same gear/firepower that LEO’s possess in order to enforce laws that the IDIOTS we have elected dreamed up.

To be angry at LEO’s for being as ready for battle as possible is wasted anger. Instead I’d rather be angry that the good people of that town weren’t allowed to be as ready for battle.

The good old days I guess. When an alert would go out in a community and the folks of that community would arm up and hog tie a suspect rather than the community being held hostage and treated like the suspect.

Lets put the effort into repealing these draconian gun laws that keep us from being prepared. Lets get these asshats like Obama/Biden/Feinstein/Pelosi and the rest out of the law making business.
