What is unlawful about putting up advertisements? A cartoon giving the bird is hardly cause for a terror alert.

Lol, Real World, you don't come off as bright as you think you are when you talk in generalities, but pretend you're talking specifics. What should they be charged with? Litering? Graffiti? Terrorism? Or something in between. Specifics only, please.

As it stands, they were charged with something that the judge isn't swallowing, so they better find a better charge quickly or they're not even going to get a $50 fine.

Just got home from work.

First: Great job on the guys deploying and reacting to the initial potential threat - that's exactly what it was.

That being said, the second the leaders of the response found out it was not a threat, they could have and should have stood down and done a more small-scale response and let the situation die down.

Not only will these kids and Turner win in court defending themselves from the grand-standing jerks that represent Boston official-DUMB, but I bet they counter-sue for violation of Constitutional Rights and win. They deserve it, not because they're good people (they appear to be complete losers and nut-jobs to me) but because the government needs to be put back in their place and know their limits. Their worst crime was misdemeanor defacing of public property - about equivalent to grafitti.

Al Queda and the rest of the world are laughing their arses off at us here in New England and it's embarrassing as hell.

Was waiting for this. The left want troops to die, while the right want a devastating terrorist attack in a big city. Both are ridiculously unfounded statements.

Yeah, it was so funny. It was a million dollar joke to the city. Of course, who knows how much it cost everybody else. What about people who lost business, or couldn't finish any? Truckers, drivers, people who couldn't got to work? Sure, after the fact it was a joke, when you knew it wasn't a bomb.

The judge? They're lucky they did this in Massachusetts. In this state transexuals can sexually assault a 12 year old with a weapon and not get time.

Statements you and your ilk believe. Remember, some people believe GW went to Iraq cuz "he tried to kill my daddy". People are dumb. Don't blame me for that.

What was so inaccurate about what I said Agenda Boy? Do you beleive people don't want American GI's to die so GW can loose his war? Do you not think that there are retards who also hope we get hit again so they can further there cause? Did I say that there were alot of these types? Nope. I said they existed. Afterall, we have a guy in here who hoped children were molested so his party could exploit it for political gain.

It became a joke when the police learned that these were not bombs (after the first one or two or three). The police reacted properly and very admirably at first, but after that, the police command, the mayor, and the governor acted like idiots and embarrassed the Commonwealth. We will end up paying for this when the lawsuits start being settled. This could have gone very differently if the government security apparatus had just let this die quietly. There were no laws broken. Not threats were made and no hoax occurred. The majority of the disruption was due to the over-reaching actions of the leadership eager to plaster themselves all over the media. It was embarrassing.
