38. What about "shelter in place" do you not understand?

Sat Apr 20, 2013, 10:26 PM

Apr 2013

Bostonians were more than happy to comply, as would I under similar circumstances.

What would you do? Hold a street party?

It was voluntary!!!! And Bostonians willingly volunteered. As would I. As would you, most likely.

...but possibly not. Complicating things for the already stressed out law enforcement folks.

Law enforcement in Boston's behavior was exemplary.
