The question is why did Boston officials clearly blow this thing out of proportion?

Couldn’t they have figured out from a quick examination of the first one it was just a small lit up sign, not a bomb. How can anybody be this stupid?

Good grief.

Somebody should charge all the police and bomb squads for that bill and for getting the community all worked up over nothing… simply terrible.

PS - I would like one of these things too, I'll stick it onto our town monument - maybe they'll call for a total evacuation!!
