Despite what I wrote the other day, all I really want right now is to be able to go to Dunkin Donuts. Unfortunately, here in Watertown, where I live, we're being told to stay in our homes and off the streets. Businesses have been instructed not to open. Late last night, the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects switched to this suburb of Boston, which is adjacent to Cambridge, where an MIT officer was shot by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Many of the metro area's busier neighborhoods look eerily empty today, and this heavily Armenian community of about 30,000 is no different—it has turned into a ghost town. That is, if you don't count the roughly 10,000 law enforcement officials, and the constant stream of helicopters overhead. It's a cliché to say this isn't the type of place where something like this happens—such an intense show of force would be out of place anywhere—but it does feel especially bizarre in this usually quiet town.
Earlier this morning, a perfect, glorious spring day on my quiet side street just off of School Street and Mt. Auburn, where much of last night's drama unfolded, SWAT teams patrolled from house to house searching yards and trash barrels—in an unfortunate twist, today is trash day here. An extraordinary overabundance of chirping birds seem unaware of the most chaotic scene in the town's history. An SUV happening down the street just now was immediately stopped and searched as I watched from my stoop, unsure whether raising a camera phone to record the situation would be a wise move or not. I may be a reporter, but it's not every day I talk with a man outside my home with a machine gun slung over his shoulder; more likely a mother pushing a stroller.

Stay strong, O'Neil. Shitty thing to happen but put your town on the list. At least you had the balls to go outside for a look see. Some 19 y.o. assclown puts everything on lock down? D Tsar made ya'll look weak. DHS, FBI, & Boston P.D. just got a free trial run of martial law. Luckily Iraq is over, Afghanistan is almost done, and N.Korea isn't happening so here we come Chechnya!
