I got a good app on the iPad that seems strong. Boring, but snipers on the roof of a Toyota dealership, and now a black bag abandoned on 17-something Broadway. Do not move on the boat, etc. What’s HRT? ---

Until 2 years ago, I lived less than a mile from this Franklin St. Location. I’ve driven by there probably hundreds of times. It is so weird to see this on TV. PS. Local news is so annoying. ---

Oooh, good point made on MSNBC - they can question him under the public safety exception to Miranda to locate any other explosives. Hopefully he will spill. Three people taken in for questioning because they were roommates of Dzhokhar at some point. ---
