I'm arguing with my friend right now because he thinks the boston/massachusetts lockdown was a martial law declared by Obama.

I keep forgetting what the lockdown was referred to as and who declared it.

"Shelter in place" order requested by the governor and implemented by the various municipalities.

Will the Boston Police Department be able to resume normal policing? A lot of their officers must be beyond exhausted, and I don't see how they can organize standard patrols in the next day or two.

On the radio maybe an hour back they were asking for volunteers who weren't over the amount of hours they're allowed to work to continue onto the next shift.

God drat.. Journalism programs need to rethink the poo poo they are teaching if these are the kind of morons they are turning out now.

Every journalism school turns out a hand full of good journalists coupled by some idiots who just want to cover sports and a group of dimwits who are willing to do loving any job someone gives them so they look great in internship roles and move up fast. These tend to be the people who are willing to juggle extremely ridiculous schedules to satisfy their bosses in a shrinking traditional media and thus it makes everyone look bad.

Perimeter lobsters comes from "perimeter officers". Last night I was studying for an exam and listening to the scanner at the same time when I misheard "perimeter officers" as "perimeter lobsters" and posted about it here. It's apparently a thing now.

There was an old man suspected of being strapped with bombs, he was stripped by bomb robots and every cavity inspected, it sounds like. 4 robots to be exact. It never really became entirely clear what happened there, but goons managed to capitalize on the rough details with jokes of sexbots.

And it was glorious.

I missed this thread between 9 this morning and the early evening tonight, was that JTsar twitter account found to be fake? There's a pic there with the "terrorists" license plate but obviously that could be meaningless.

That's the real Twitter, the car is who knows whose---several dudes in the picture---the plate is a gimmick plastic novelty thing not a real plate. Mass plates have max 6 characters.

That little poo poo better be alive and talking when I get up.

Ninja edit: Did they just imply the footage they have shows White Hat planting the bag? For some reason I'd thought it was Black Hat who was filmed planting it.

I'm sure they would argue that they are asking the questions their viewers want to know the answer to, nothing more.

edit: there appears to be just one reporter with a really shrill voice asking all the worst questions.

The problem is in a situation like this, that kind of decision won't be made with in an hour after catching him.

They have evidence to go through, a case to build... Its just a bad question and they should know better.

I kept listening to the scanner after it was over, and they were asking for two guys not out of hours to report in to cover the next shift. Boston can probably get along without cops for the night, given that it'll probably be a massive party.

What's with the British guy hosting CNN right now? Did all the CNN-US anchors pass out from lack of sleep or something?
