Evil Shout Out: Police State

Malevolent Genius would like to take a moment to salute America's Shadowy Overlords, and their dedicated minions in the Boston PD, the FBI, and USDHS for successfully locking down the city of Boston.

For our international followers, Boston proper is home to 626,000 people, while Greater Boston is home to nearly 4 million people.  The effected area consisted of about a million people.  Boston was the site of several key events of the American Revolution.  It was one of the first American cities to forsake Safety in order to fight to secure Liberty.

It takes quite a bit of organized manpower and effort to lockdown a populace of a million people on short notice.  More importantly, it takes years of dedicated psycho-social management to condition a populace that large to quietly accept military rule. It is fitting that a test run of military rule should take place in Boston, in the name of Safety.

More over, it takes a superior mastermind to corrupt a force that was supposed to be dedicated to protecting civil liberties, and the American constitution, which guarantees those liberties, and convince them to instead focus on the task of locking down an entire city in order to capture or kill two men.  These are soldiers who unthinkingly follow orders in the name of Duty, in the name of "Defending the Homeland."  History tells us what can be accomplished with a cadre of soldiers like that.  The best part is, they aren't even soldiers.  They're police officers.

Finally, masses of Americans are clamoring that the government discard due process, torture the captured suspect, deny him a right to a trial, and revoke the freedom of religion to begin systematically purging Muslims from America.  Essentially, they have discarded their constitution, and are on the verge of collapsing into mob rule.  Once that occurs, police states takeover or the country falls into civil war.  Either way, the populace is culled and cowed, America is weakened, the ideas of Democracy and Personal Liberty will be dealt serious blows, and America's people will have done it to themselves.  All in the name of Safety.

Well done, Shadowy Overlords.  We salute you.

Officers are trained to focus on the task of capturing or killing suspects, and have no regard for civil liberties.
