Related: About this forumRon Paul slams 'military-style occupation' following bombing
Ron Paul, the former Republican congressman from Texas, penned a piece on libertarian writer Lew Rockwells website today about the military-style occupation that took place in Boston following the bombing. Criticizing the unprecedented move, Paul suggested that occupation was as frightening and perhaps more than the attack itself.
The forced lockdown, militarized police riding tanks, and door-to-door armed searches without warrant were not, as Paul wrote, from a military coup in a far off banana republic. The scene took place in Boston after the recent attack a taste of martial law.
