Is it possible the officer gunned down at the MIT campus recognized the suspects from the marathon bombing, and paid with his life? Carjacking also happened - that to me is a sign of desperation and no time to plan for a getaway - not the action of a well thought-out plan.

Say this out loud and really slow:

CRIMINALS

DO

NOT

FOLLOW

THE

LAW

Repeat.

Repeat again.

This means that no matter how many laws you have on the books regarding gun control, a criminal is not going to follow them.

Print that out, tape it to your mirror and say it loud every morning when you get up just before you brush your teeth.

The only thing laws do are make things harder for those law abiding citizens you were talking about, NOT the criminals!

I'm not getting any images on this feed, but the audio just reported that they're showing footage of police with their guns drawn at someone lying on the ground...

You are really sick, do you not know that?

How dare you politicize a tragedy when people have been recently hurt.
