City of Boston just announced that ALL public transit is suspended until further notice. The city desperately hopes that everyone stays home and inside. The city recognizes that this might go on for several days.

This is unreal.

Video feed of a press conference. Sorry, it's from Fox, but they have a helicopter over the house where white hat guy might be, where they're soon to do a controlled explosion.

Chicago Police just issued a press release stating that they are sending 5 detectives and a sergeant to Boston per the Boston PDs request.

Boston being shut down on a Friday is going to have a very big price tag. Those fuckers are really doing some damage.

I'm pretty behind on this story now so I'm a little confused on how this escalated to the point of suggest martial law and helicopters being brought in. Is there suspicion of something serious going down soon? I'm having a hard time understanding why helicopters of that caliber are required for this manhunt if that's all that is going on.

There was an old dude with a dead mans switch as well as other suspects they were looking for. There is fear a sleeper cell has awoken
