| I'm going to disagree with a lot of what's been said here and state that the Boston PD reacted how they should have, and good for them.
Number one, despite what you want to believe, there's no set rules for "what a bomb looks like", plus the fact that not everyone knows what ATHF even is, plus the fact that it wasn't nearly as easy to discern what was on the boxes in broad daylight, turned off, on an overpass as opposed to the lit closeups you see in media reports (In other words, from far off, they very well could have looked like bombs). Number two, part of the reason a lot of the other cities didn't freak out was because the devices weren't placed in areas where (Had they been bombs) they would've done major damage, and a lot of them were simply stolen outright. Number three, I'm sure pretty much everyone here who is laughing at Boston for "being paranoid" or whatever would rush to crucify the Boston PD if they had done nothing and the devices HAD turned out to be bombs. Now, the PRESS, on the other hand, took this and blew it way the fuck out of proportion. From media reports, you'd think that this was the first time a potential bomb had ever been discovered in Boston (According to people who live there, partly because the city is more or less constantly on edge, "suspicious devices" and the Boston PD's reaction to them are fairly common there). Not to mention the loaded language calling the reports "hoax"es, which implies some intent to cause panic in a legal sense, which there was none of here. (edited by Emptyeye on 02-05-07 06:38 PM) |

Originally posted by Sweet Kassy Molassy Goddammit, it pisses me off every time I have to say this. Drama is a GREAT album, maybe the most underrated in the Yes catalog. So what if Jon Anderson left the band; the Trevor Horn/Geoff Downs lineup had the potential for another Fragile or Close to the Edge if they had only hung together another album or two! ...oh wait.

I hate drama, even when it's on the internet...
