Cocaine is a hell of a drug. (No proof of that, just saying)

I would have to speculate that he is probably taking something to keep himself awake and alert. Not sure if I had 9,000 police on my behind that I'd be taking a power nap during it. Then again, I'm also rational. He apparently not so much.

Did any of you guys catch Fox Boston (@fox25news) saying the White House situation room has been evacuated?

They meant to say activated

Why are so many people in this town going outside with backpacks and hoodies on? You would think the entire town has to know what's going on by now. Stay in doors people!

Really dumb question: How do you activate a White House? What does that actually entail?

They turn on the lights. Coffee and doughnuts are ordered. Then they turn on the scanners/TV and sit around drinking and eating.

I assume it means the President and his advisors are getting briefed on the situation, but I am not totally sure

Have interacting with a quite a few people from Boston over the years, I'm going to say zero. Zero Bostonians are cowering, you chicken #### loser.

Hatred and a single minded focus on causing destruction is an incredible motivator. That and adrenaline.

I could stay awake for days at a time out in the field, then at the end when it was over I would collapse.

Well I've been listening to the police blotter for the better part of the night, so I must have picked up a thing or two from them. That and he might have devices strapped to his vest, which has to slow him down a bit.

Get it together John!

Did someone really say this? As a person who is all for us 'Merican's having our guns I find this guy's comment to be asinine and embarrassing. Really Really ridiculous? Has he removed the comment yet and said his twitter was hacked? Geesh we really do have some wackball people in the Southern US.

That fat fata is now apologizing.....but not for the content of his post, but for the "timing". His tweet is still up.
