It’s absolutely fascinating to me that only when they lifted the lockdown did they find the surviving Tsarnaev brother. That’s when the owner of the boat Tsarnaev was hiding in came out of his house and noticed something amiss.
That's the big point here. It was only after the lockdown ended that someone found him.
During that day, I thought about if I lived in Boston what would the consequence have been to disallow the police from entering my home without a warrant. Would they have arrested me? On what charge? Would they have assumed I was hiding something and focused their entire force on me at the expense of possibly letting the real bad guy get away?
I've noticed that I've tolerated abuse in my life thinking that it would only be temporary condition. Sadly, abusers don't seem to reflect on their transgressions and seem to escalate them.
