We would like to say to the police, the political leadership of Boston “well done.” At a time when many folks want to act like dime novel superheroes, those faced with with the actual crisis used cool heads and proven methods to deal with an incredible situation.

Thanks not only to them, but also to their predecessors who helped develop the fine police forces and methods which were used. I hope theirs becomes the example to follow, not something from a movie.

The good people of the Boston area, especially Watertown, acted as real citizens should act in such a crisis, not as vigilantes or single superheroes. This averted much more bloodshed and confusion.

Once more, well done.
