& then, there's this...http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-21/boston-bomb-suspect-s-citizenship-bid-is-part-of-probe.html?cmpid=yhoo
which brings us to this...http://news.yahoo.com/boston-marathon-bombing-blame-game-begins-210800101.html
there's plenty of blame to go around on why this was allowed to happen at an event that had a large, visable police & security presence &, this video will prove just that...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xiXroQp8t4 &, before i make my point, please take the time to study this picture & perhaps you'll make my point for me..........there are at least 11 cops in this picture.............
the following youtube link is 9:17 long however, i want to draw your attention to the 1:18 mark & the 1:26 mark. just look at the police (in yellow vests) & staffers/security (in yellow jackets)
here's the breakdown::::in the beginning, police & security are actually facing the crowd but a short time later, they turned their backs to the crowd to watch the race. now, i'm not saying they would have been able to actually spot the bombers planting the bombs &, i'm not blaming them. however, king kong could have planted a bomb to their turned backs.
we need to tighten up the training of those we place in positions to keep us safe. perhaps nobody would have spotted a backpack placed on the wrong side of the barrier & then again, it's hard to see what's coming from the east when you're facing west.
so, while many are happy with the boson police & our fbi, hindsight has proven that they (collectively) turned their backs &, before you call me an asshole, can you tell me how many secret service people would still be employed today if they turned their backs to the crowd to watch obama give a speech & somebody took a shot at him?
no, i'm not calling for anybody's job however, i am calling for "better" training. we dropped the ball with the 9/11 airplane hijackers; we dropped the ball in benghazi; &, we dropped the ball in boston...what's next???
