Boston Bombing

[LR1955]

LR,
I didn't say that. Although I grant that major confusion always accompanies initial news reports in situations such as these I find it hard to believe that ALL the reports were erroneous. There were too many people who said they had found only two handguns inside the school and an AR on the seat in the car. The early reports were all sanitized and a whole new picture was drawn.
Many years ago I learned firsthand that Uncle Sam has the uncanny ability to turn dog poop into gold when it has the desire to change the rules.
That hasn't changed...in fact it has become much more sophisticated in the information age.

DJ:

So, do you think that no AR was used? Or that no handgun was used? Or that both were used?

Given the number of people who witnessed the incident, and the number of people involved in the investigation, it would be impossible for the US Government to alter evidence or coerce the witnesses to the extent that every one of them, to include every single LEA who was there, would say the same story to this day. One of those people would have blown the whistle on any cover up or tampering with evidence.

The information age has made it harder for a government in a fee society to bullshit its population.
