The "Shelter in Place was lifted this evening. The 'T' and bus and train travel
is lifted. Some accountant somewhere posted it cost Boston 133 million to be

after we show out police ID, we will have to break in a door or window. All
homes WILL be searched."
Nothing like this has EVER happened before in the USA.
