The mere act of requiring folks to stay inside was the trampling of the rights. Personally, I would have walked around in deliberate defiance of a silly unconstitutional and unenforceable order, shutting down a whole city while they looked for one man.

This was not only a violation of the rights of millions. It was stupid. I believe the whole exercise was a result of the misbegotten belief that only the police can keep you safe.

If nothing else, the Boston bombing proved that no one can keep you safe. Especially not the police.

AND they found the suspect BECAUSE they lifted the curfew. Once they let the people out of home jail one of them found the suspect.

In an immediate TACTICAL situation, a policeman MIGHT have the authority to do this in a small area. But are you seriously suggesting that it's okay to lockdown a city?

As I watch on TV the oppressed citizens of the Boston area applaud the departing law enforcement officers for a job well done ....

The sheep population of the US is growing exponentially. Fortunately, most of them are collected into concentration camps known as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, etc.

It was actually a six year old kid who found out who they were by playing a game of where's Waldo-like game.

Boston folks are not very bright ... all those schools and none of the graduates stay in the area ...

Yea! You made me a prisoner .. like a hollywood actress on coke...
