hatred and a pure misunderstanding about what humanity is all about? i think you re right, but we do need explanations. there is a lot of questions that we here in boston need answered. we need to know who are these folks in new bedford? what were they doing with all these bombs when they came back here on thursday night, the bombs they were throwing at the police. there were reports that other bombs have been found since then, possibly a bomb in the mercedes. we need to know were there more plans? it s nice to see the city getting back to normal, the sports teams are playing, and that s good fort spirit of the city, but on the investigative end, we really need to know were there more plots, are there more people out there? we need to remain vigilant. it s not like we caught this 19-year-old kid and it s over. there was more going on here and i m sure the law enforcement folks will i think we have to brace ourselves for some of these details because they could be disturbing. thes
might be cynics out there that say it s jingoism, but it s not. this city was attacked. a police officer was murdered in cold blood for no reason at all that we know. and we got him. the police officers got him and like the mayor said, we got him. thank you to the police officers. in my opinion, it s the right reaction to be happy to be american right now. i had a sense last night after the last briefing at 6:00 p.m. that this thing was going cold. i think a lot of people felt that way. and sure enough, things just changed in a heartbeat. yet you ve got a long way to go, frankly. there are investigators back out in boylston street again today. this is still considered a crime scene. at least this part of the city is in lockdown. but trying to figure out how two men who were essentially raised here, i mean, they live across the charles river, a quarter of a mile from where we are right now. what in the world can you write a report to explain or do you even need an explanation other th
there last night, bill, as you saw some of the pictures. i was out on arsenal street in watertown shortly after they captured the suspect and the moment i ll remember the most is there was a boston police department armored swat vehicle that came through with the doors open and some officers on the back and the officer driving was on the intercom chanting, usa, bpd. there were people hugging and crying and it s definitely some might think it s sappy, but it got to me. this is my city. lived here my whole life. this is so much fear in the city right now, to have them finally get that guy, the whole think was overcome with emotion. i m watching this young lady carry an american flag behind us. the pedicab has two american flags on the back of his three wheeler. you know, again, it s not unlike 9-11. it s a time for us to be happy to be americans and again, there
be out and around again and feels like celebrating boston. just emotional when you come around this corner, it s just a lot of crowds cheering and to come back today, it s kind of like a moment frozen in time there. it feels great. it feels like a giant weight had been lifted off the shoulders of the city and in a small way, we can start to get back to normal. i m headed over to the red sox game. i really want to be part of that as well. i think people are starting to get into it, realizing not let this set us back and get back to normal. cool stuff. cool people, too. dave wedge from the boston herald is with me. you and i have become friends over the past week. you have really been the eyes and ears of the community for us. you re in watertown last night. i ll ask you specifically about that in a moment. but i thought the coolest part of the entire week, the applause from so many people directed toward the police and the firefighters and anybody who had a part in this. yea
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there o say, does that star spangled banner yet wave o er the land of the free and the home of the brave [ cheers and applause ] martha: very united in this moment of relief that these two men have been apprehended. one gone, one in the hospital in the city of boston. an incredible, very moving moment. we saw the boston marathon association as they walked out. this is the first responders as they poured out. there is the marathon association. the response, i mean the embrace
