Martial law underway - citizens giving up liberties and letting the 'authorities' invade their homes
The predecessor to the Mongoose?
Mass. State Police look like they actually run their weapons.

I have often wondered what Modern Warfare 3 would look like in real life. Now I know.
Zepplify
Wow this is what 5 Stars looks like in real life
MichaelCato
this looks like something out of a movie
NS0229
+1 for K-9 kevlar
ricknobinson
This is some modern warfare 3 shit...
Agent
Not to self - Boston will be pretty dry of weed in about one week.
PaddyIrishMan

clarkia
I am ever greatfull for the protection afforded us by all branches of law enforcement, and by all branches if our military .
Buggin0ut
not a day to drip on acid
garagely
NOBODY should be OK with this. I don't care what the goal is, this is NOT OK. This looks like Fascism.
MotleyLou25
I don't understand why this would be in the bad comments. I completely agree with you. It's scary thought. 'V for Vendetta' type of stuff.
TheChinamanIsNotTheIssue
They are doing it for a good purpose right now therefore they would never do it for a bad purpose. Logic, you crazy libertarians!
MotleyLou25
That's what 'High Chancellor Adam Sutler' said in V for Vendetta but I'm glad they caught the bombers but seeing this is a bit frightening.
garagely
I don't really know what 'V for Vendetta' is, but thanks. Is that the one with Jennifer Garner in the really tight shiny suit?
MotleyLou25
It's with Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman I do suggest you watch it because it's great http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
garagely
Hey, thanks! Looks like my kind of movie.
OrionRed
At first I was like, what filter are they using. Then I realized it was the window screen.
TastyStatistician
The fucker is in custody. Good work BPD

good job america

he got away
HolliePocket
We're a little behind today, aren't we?
TheRedSmurf
And now he is about to get better meals and healthcare than the average citizen... -_-
HolliePocket
...that's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
kahunaburger
lol...*snort laughing...people who say this have never been in prison, i was in jail for 1 day and it was the worst day of my life.
ChiefClancyWiggum
The FBI released the photos, and he was captured 26 hours later. All involved deserves the highest commendations.
samsonguy920
Good thing he chose Massachusetts to do his deeds. He would have been shot dead by a civilian anywhere else.
whoputthebop
Are you kidding me? There are plenty of civilians who would have shot him here. At the same time, most of us would have prefered to beat the
whoputthebop
shit out of him and turn him over alive.
cyberdemon107
Unless it was LA. Then russians would go extinct there to LAPD accidents.
samsonguy920
They aren't Russians.
napsmear
And, in about 6 years and several million dollars later he will be executed.
hokieDoubleE
there is no death penalty in the state of Massachusetts
napsmear
Causing death by using an explosive is a federal crime.
LearningOnImgur
Acts of terrorism go to federal court, and pretty much always end with execution.
silentdeath
If they charge him with terrorism he will be in fed jurisdiction and that's a different story.
hokieDoubleE
You are completely right.
asIalwayssay
I gotta say, I hate this. We're using the nerve-wracking experiences of the people of Boston as entertainment, right? Thoughts?
katiethejedi
Guys... Is America ending? Is the world ending? I'm scared. This week is scary.
EarleanMarko
Ok, just making sure. That's how I wanted to understand it! haha
ReadOnlyMemories
This is government supported terrorism, it's aimed to indoctrinate the population in to accepting military occupation. Do not be fooled.
ExPFCWintergreen
i'm surprised with this ability to spread everything over social media that this guy ended up hiding all day where no one could get a pic
jamesshore
Well, go on, spend millions of dollars in search for ONE 19yo guy...
andruha1123
action movie on the news....
o0scottyboy0o
When will the movie come out?
LeoDiCaprisun
This guy literally thought he was going to escape?
vincentvongoat
tell that to DB Cooper
MakingUpAUsernameIsTerrifying
And Waldo has yet to be found.
RoseNoot
The streets of Boston are flooded with people singing and cheering right now. It's fucking awesome.
inertial
Why are you inside?
MatrimBloodyCauthon
Aw, really? :)
ShamrockFury
I hope he enjoyed whatever life he once led, because it is fucking over.
AzaellexTytalus
I hope he's actually guilty because his life is jacked either way.
tipples
He's 19, so not much of one. Glad they caught him, sad a teenager chose to be a mass murderer and will be in prison for the next 80 years.
HolliePocket
Federal charge, he's probably getting executed unless he is able to start spilling some major shit that makes him more valuable alive.
tipples
Did charge him already? I haven't seen it. Not sure what federal charge would stick, though, he's a US citizen.
ShamrockFury
His older brother most likely talked him into it, but he still did it. And he will most likely be executed for capital murder.
ThisIsMyGameFace
No death penalty in Mass. Unless they tried it in another state, which they won't, he's rotting in jail soaking up tax dollars.
Kentuckyproud
It will be federal, and knowing Obama's centrist policies along with public opinion, I'd say Death Penalty is a good bet.
ShamrockFury
They'll bump it up to a federal charge, not state. That's what they did with Timothy McVeigh.
overloadedcoffee
As a non-American, wow I did not know of this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh
cabc
Wait what? What's the deal with his older brother?
ShamrockFury
2). At least that's what the news is saying about him.
ShamrockFury
His brother went back to Chechnya and was most likely trained to build bombs. He had been looked into in the past by the Russian government
SirForeverAloneEsquireLe1stAndOnly
So... you're saying that we should attack Russia now?
youngthndrcat6199
Nice freedom you have there... hows your posse comitatus?
ohale
No kidding....all this for one 19 yr old idiot...?? I am not like what is going on in this country. I wonder if anyone really understands?
PringlesSpeakerBoxes
Thats what I'm thinking. I MEAN NO OFFENSE...but I've never seen such a manhunt for someone that killed 3 ppl. I mean armored vehicles???
arourawhite
Yeah 3 people and they shut down the town I don't think that has ever happened. A 19 year old like come on back to reality.
ohale
I find it extreme overkill…and then they basically instituted marshal law. I always thought that required an act of congress….
KelseyQR
God bless everyone who helped capture the bombers.
amahran
Bomber.* One died.
yallmfsneedjesus
I think you mean suspects
whyknotzoidberg
I always thought the sixth star on GTA was a bit unrealistic. Apparently I was wrong.
inversity
And, as you can see, NOBODY gets rid of six stars.
darthblaker7474
(In GTA IV) Drive into subway, stay underground. Or, go back to your safe-house and save game.
DuneMafia
It's not terribly hard to do it. You just need to collect a few of of those police stars or go get a paint job for your vehicle.
LangdonAlger
Yeah by that time I just use the cheat code to lower it. there's no other way to beat it. ( I played GTA3 so hopefully the code still works)
MySecondAccount
This should be top
FrostytheSnowcolt
He got all 50 stars for what he did!
DickWarlock89
I don't think you play GTA buddy
bacondoughnuts
Think he was referring to how all of america wanted the fucker dead, quite clever IMO
FrostytheSnowcolt
I'm talking about the stars on the American flag, you oblivious fucks!
DickWarlock89
Oh well in that case...
gamess6
I got it, mate. c:
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
Most of this seems way too unnecessary and over the top. Especially going going into innocent civilians homes like that.
letsstealahouse
He littered the city with explosives...
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
Never heard that one. Source?
letsstealahouse
The MIT officer they killed discovered them planting devices, they were literally chucking them out the window during the car chase (1/2)
letsstealahouse
and there have been a couple discovered elsewhere in the city... Take your pick of news outlet... (2/2)
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
I read about them throwing 'explosives' out of their car during the chase. But that could be anything, a grenade, a molotov, etc. Not 1/2
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
One have I heard or read anything about them planting explosives anywhere else in the city. I asked for a source not your word about it 2/2
imsohungryrightnow
Yeah, I wouldn't let them. Although, I probably wouldn't have any say in the matter. :(
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
We're supposed to. The 4th Amendment
IMMADOGWOOF
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exigent_circumstance_in_United_States_law
imsohungryrightnow
I know. But I can moan about my rights till I'm blue in the face, the guys with automatic weapons are going to come in if they really want.
arourawhite
Exigent Circumstance doesn't work you EVERYONE needs to be in danger for that to happen. It's a 19 year old that killed 3 people come on.
imsohungryrightnow
I'm not talking about what the law says, I'm talking about what would actually happen.
JustTheTipOfMyArrow
I understand. Key words: 'supposed to'. I think this whole thing is bs. The kid is 19 for fuck's sake.
imsohungryrightnow
Yeah, it's almost like they want to set a precedent. Like, 'Hey, if something scary happens, we can invade your home!" God only knows how...
imsohungryrightnow
...long it will be before the excuses degrade into "Hey, it's an average day, we're going to invade your home!"
JMaca
He's still only a suspect, before everyone goes celebrating.
MrsSaban
If I had nothing to hide & knew I was wanted for something like this,I'd be at the BPD in a heart beat. Innocent people don't act like that.
deathpuppet
I'd be far too afraid of getting shot by the police. All it takes is one nervous police officer. And who wants to get thrown to the ground?
deathpuppet
That IS how police arrest you. Especially with the thousands of police in boston.
MrsSaban
I don't think anyone would be shooting if he properly turned himself in.
NotTheHero
Frightened people who know they have made a huge mistake do though.
MrsSaban
Exactly. His action make him seem SO guilty.
bluthgirl
Glad that there was a peaceful ending to a terrible tragedy. It's heartwarming to see a community come together in support
vincentvongoat
lul "peaceful"
eljakeo
You must have a different definition of "peaceful" than I do.
bluthgirl
I guess peaceful is too strong a word to use. I'm just relieved it didn't end as badly as it could have, which I think is how most feel :)
julietxo
It's peaceful because he didn't blow up himself and those around him. Out of all the terrible possibilities out there this is most favorable
vincentvongoat
again. different definition.
eljakeo
True, but he also fired at least one gun at police multiple times while bleeding to death surrounded by police tactical squads and...
eljakeo
...military helicopters.
julietxo
Oh yes I realize that it's not peaceful at all. It's just not as devastating as it could have been. I guess those aren't really the same tho
PuppiesStartedEveryWar
Terrorists trying to destroy our way of life and our liberties? Fuck that, we'll do it ourselves. Eat a dick, terrorists.
JhericFury
This. Exactly what i've been thinking throughout all these images
Lookatmyballs
More like our government trying to destroy our way of life. I know that may sound messed up but you should pay more attention
PuppiesStartedEveryWar
Why are you letting them?
Lookatmyballs
Wtf ever I know what I am seeing on the news my eyes are wide fucking open and there are more questions we the people should be asking.
PuppiesStartedEveryWar
That's not an answer. You're just fucking babbling, dude. If the government's fucking you, stop them or put on a gag.
Lookatmyballs
Just go back to sleep
Lookatmyballs
I never said our Government was fucking me. I said our Government is fucking we the people. This is excessive use of force for one person
