They ordered people to stay in their homes --because one murderous 19 year old was on the loose. They shut down transportation. They searched peoples homes and confiscated guns. This was a blatant violation of rights and the Constitution, apparently welcomed by the helots in Boston, so really, what difference does it make what uniforms they were wearing? The authorities acted like we were in North Korea. America is dead.

Yep, and the citizens applauded Caesar...

I'm watching the live coverage of the "man-hunt" for the Boston bomber(s), other associates, and/or bombs on NBC (I know it is a liberal biased network). I'm not too concerned about the swat teams in direct & offensive operations (probably should be) but I am concerned about the use of the U.S. military in this operation (if the report is true, of course). Lord knows I have an idea of their expertise and serving in an advisory role is smart. But I have heard a report that members of the military are/ were being used in offensive operations (direct roles other than disarming bombs- "military Swat teams" conducting house searches, NBC reports.).

This is my point: In light of our current national environment concerning the 2nd ammendment/guns/ constitutional rights and my concerns about how the government uses it's multitude of departments such as Homeland Security, etc., I am concerned about it becoming common practice to see the military on American streets, other than assisting in national disasters. I know the PONTUS & his associates still have a strong agenda to disarm Americans. Although I use a slippery slope argument, if we get use to seeing military/para-military uniforms on the streets in this capacity, if this becomes common practice, will American's eyebrows be raised if/when our government uses these organiziations to come for our guns? Besides me, is anyone else concerned?
