Boston police chief says feds never shared warnings about marathon bomber

Boston and Massachusetts law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday that federal agents left them in the dark on the growing warning signs about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the run-up to the Boston Marathon bombing.

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis, in testimony on Capitol Hill, said his officers on a joint terrorism task force were never told about an explicit warning from the Russian government or about Tsarnaev's travel to the Chechnya region last year. Davis said he would have liked to have known about that activity, and that it "absolutely" would have merited a second look at Tsarnaev.

Davis and Massachusetts homeland security official Kurt Schwartz testified that their officers were not looped in on Tsarnaev until after the bombing.

"At no time prior to the bombings did any member of the Massachusetts State Police or the fusion center have any information or knowledge about the Tsarnaev brothers," Schwartz said.

Even in the federal government, information may not have traveled across all relevant agencies. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (Most incompetent of all) has said the government's internal system "pinged" when Tsarnaev left the country in 2012, though a Republican senator has said the FBI claimed they were not aware of that trip.

Yea, but young kids get suspended from school by pointing a pencil at each other and making gun noises.

Last time I checked no one has ever been injured or killed by someone pointing a pencil at another person and making gun noises.

What the hell is this country turning into?

I guess that would mean you can't bring pencils or pens to school if this is the case as it may or may not resemble a weapon according to their definition at least.

Quote from the article:

"Bethanne Bradshaw, a spokesperson for Suffolk Public Schools could not be reached for comment but according to a report from Fox43 she said, "A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made" and that "Some children would consider it threatening."

And why the hell do we have "some children" running our school system?

Thought we fixed that after 9/11.

Remember all the talk about "the wall" and how it had to be torn down?

We've spent millions and millions of $ fixing "the wall" problem.

Where did it all go? Oh, right, the fusion centers. Gotta' keep the government eye on the real bad guys.

I wouldn't trust them anyway. They spent all that money locking down Boston looking for a 19 year old kid and some guy taking a smoke break after the all clear is given finds him in his boat. Hide citizens, hide, we'll take care of you.
