Yahoo news was reporting and saying that the streets erupted with cries of joy and clapping and cheers as they took away the prisoner.
Take a look at the video for yourself.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/boston-mit-shooting-explosion-suspect-watertown-064355149.html
I’ll save you some time. Let’s see, besides a tight camera shot, there were about 10 people in the street. The rest were reporters with cameras and vehicles driving away. Out of the 10 people, about 5 clapped and out of the 5, about 2 cheered. Lastly, you do not even see the suspect anywhere in the video.
So again, WHAT THE HELL IS THE MSM (in this case YAHOO) TALKING ABOUT OR REPORTING ON???!!!
Ya know what NC. When they showed the guy when he had that backpack on that he had a gotee but then he was clean shaven. WTF ya know. That`s MSM for ya eh NC.
I sent the Yahoo one to Henry after this one, to show him just that.
We may know it’s all an act, but there are plenty of sheeple who continually fall for that banana thing. The ones who saw it on t.v., therefore it MUST be true. Thankfully, though, it would appear that more are finally starting to get it.
I wonder how much they had to pay the cheering section
Exactly, #1. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
“Multiple outlets report that police are working with caution because of the possibility that the suspect is wearing a suicide vest and that the boat could contain full fuel tanks. WFXT, Boston’s Fox affiliate, reported a robot is being sent in.”
OMG! Really? A suicide vest? OMG! And the cops make fun of the people for watching too much CSI? OMG! What a bunch of two-faced cowards.
When I was talking with a friend of mine at a cafe today during lunch, the TV was on, and I was explaining how the glass was blow out into the sidewalk and street as if the bomb was inside as opposed to a bomb on the outside which would blow the glass into the interior of the building.
Someone leaned over from another table and said to me, “You must be one of those Tea Party people.” I said, “No mam I don’t belong to any government party, but you really need to do your research before you start labeling people” and that seemed to shut her up.
