Make Turner Pay

There was quite a scare today in Boston when numerous suspicious objects were found all around the city. &nbs-p; It turns out to have been a publicity stunt by Turner Broadcasting.   It cost the city of Boston millions in police work, lost commerce, and strees reducing vitamins.   I say make Turner Broadcasting pay for what they cost the people of Boston.   Then again, it would probably cost more than the company's bottom line but too bad.   Make'em pay for the trouble they caused.   the not so funny thing is the next attack very likely will be bombs in a bunch of ordinary objects purchased at Wal-Marts, Targets and Marshall's throughout the country.   These objects will be made into small bombs filled with shrapnel and placed in ordinary locations like shopping malls or large busy stores.   Nobody will think anything of them until they are set off by a digital phone.   And in the meantime, police will continue to investigate every odd object in the fear that it will contain a bomb.   By the liberals at Turner don't believe there is any risk that there will be another terrorist attack in this country.   They think we are all just over-reacting.   So they don't think it's a big deal when they do a publicity stunt like this in order to make money.   If they put us out a little, they're sorry.   They're sorry we are so nervous and ready to over-react at the drop of a hat.

Follow-up Posting:

Turner has said they were sorry.   They hope all is forgiven.   The official word was: "We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger"   That's like the little kid saying I'm sorry it made you mad when I burned the house down.   I'm not sorry I burned the house down.   I'm sorry that you got mad about it.

Turner isn't sorry that their idiot stunt caused major problems.   Like I said before, they're sorry we overeracted.   Let's make them sorry.

  • "They think we are all just over-reacting."

    How come you are only criticizing Turner and not the Boston Police for their misdiagnosis of the problem?

    The larger point to be made here is that it is very easy to manipulate our security forces at this point. That is a much bigger issue for our safety than anything Turner has done.

    If you really cared about security more than bashing people I think you would have brought up that point.

  • Huh?

    I think you are wrong.

    Turner did something which resulted in a bomb scare.   You say the BPD over-reacted or misdiagnosed the problem.   On what basis do you draw that conclusion?   What factual information do you have which supports the conclusion they BPD over-reacted?   How were they supposed to act?

    Turner did something it shouldn't.   Now it will pay for the mistake.   But I don't think anyone should ever accept a disingenuous apology which is sorry for the reaction, not the deed.

    And my instincts have been borne out.   Turner has dropped the coy talk of being sorry for our over-reaction.   They now understand that they were bad.   They're sorry, mommy.
