    Every little volunteer fire department out in the woods in the Northwest received pieces of military equipment under Bush, and I assume Obama hasn't stopped it. It was at least a couple hundred billion dollars. There were a couple of articles but now it's taken for granted.

    Police armories used to be for ammunition but now they're loaded with tanks and soon, drones.

    HuffPost is no friend to Bush.

    The George W. Bush administration actually began scaling down the Byrne and COPS programs in the early 2000s, part of a general strategy of leaving law enforcement to states and localities. But the Obama administration has since resurrected both programs. The Byrne program got a $2 billion surge in funding as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, by far the largest budget in the program's 25-year history. Obama also gave the COPS program $1.55 billion that same year, a 250 percent increase over its 2008 budget, and again the largest budget in the program's history. Vice President Joe Biden had championed both programs during his time in the Senate.

    The Pentagon's 1033 program has also exploded under Obama. In the program's monthly newsletter (Motto: "From Warfighter to Crimefighter"), its director announced in October 2011 that his office had given away a record $500 million in military gear in fiscal year 2011, which he noted, "passes the previous mark by several hundred million dollars." He added, "I believe we can exceed that in FY 12.”

    So they catch him or not? I read and heard one is dead and the other is still out there. Then I hear there maybe multiple suspects on the loose. Does anyone have the right info?

    Someone died, and you choose this moment to question my credibility and accuse me of levity? Get into the moment of history.

    So what's the connection then? Are they a terrorist group? What motive would they have to bomb Boston like that?

    Simmer down son! Maybe you shouldn't be so sarcastic with most your bullshit responses on other threads. Maybe people would take you seriously next time.

    Ask Putin why he sent them. He has admitted it. And I'm not speaking to you.

    No one's taking him seriously now either (except you, apparently).

    C'mon, son--there are a million sources of "news" that are more reliable than jlprk. You can't believe anything he says unless you have it verified by an outside source.

    I've been up all night following every false twist and turn! The missing Brown University student! The arrest of a suspect, all 5 times! The explosives they kept exploding to scare people trying to sleep! The armored police vehicle they hijacked and rammed into the police, killing Black Hat in a hail of bullets! The tweets from White Hat taunting police as he ran through back yards! The man stripped by police on TV, then arrested naked!

    Then you johnny-come-latelies wake up, refreshed, whip on your aftershave, and tell me what's what? I'm so fucking groggy and sick of it and full of half-killed rumors that I am a walking encyclopedia!

    Read these chronologies and then I'll teach you the details!

    By the way, everything in that first paragraph turned out to be false, but it was presented as fact for a couple of hours, each!
