That was a crazy day. I flew into Boston looking at apartments to move there.
Because the city was locked down, they made us go straight from our gate to a cab, and the cabs could only bring us to our hotel. Once we got to the hotel they had security checking IDs to ensure you actually had a reservation there.
We couldn’t leave our hotel room so we watched the coverage until the all clear was given. The city was a ghost town.
Once we could leave we went to dinner and on the way back to the hotel, there was a massive crowd in the Common cheering for all the police as they went by. It was a spontaneous parade, basically. American flags everywhere.
We joined in, drank beers with strangers, and shook hands with every cop that passed. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life.

People here were celebrating this. My how their minds changed after Covid.

I flew in to Boston on the day of the bombing. That was surreal. There were people in the airport trying to catch flights still in their running clothes with their numbers still pinned to their chests. Luckily our driver knew back streets and was able to get us out of the city pretty quickly.

The literal definition of a "False-Flag" event. To be clear, though, I don't believe this is a conspiracy. Jist shows how everyone rallies around the flag when something "bad" happens. The 3 letter agencies are up to something nefarious EVERY DAY

As a people, we can go from "everybody hates everybody" to "these colors don't run" pretty quickly.
