I think the economic points are the most simply persuasive. Two things concretely led to the capture of the suspect: Once the lockdown was lifted, "a neighbor reported that a bloody man was hiding in his boat." Then, "a hostage negotiator talked to him for about 25 minutes and talked him into climbing out of the boat,” according to one law enforcement official." Both are hilariously inexpensive compared to all the things that did not lead to the capture of this kid. In fact, most of the armed police actions just resulted in bombs and dead police officers. I want to find out: Who is this hostage negotiator? Why can't we pay him a huge bonus for all the money he would have saved Boston? If the police weren't so dim, maybe they would have tried negotiating with a 19 year old boy in the first place. Or maybe everyone is just an irrational jihaddist nowadays, in spite of the evidence, and we should roll humvees up Dexter and look through people's garbage.
