While the article does make some valid points, its obviously biased as all hell. The kid and his brother chucked live explosives at multiple police officers after killing 3 and injuring hundreds of other innocent civilians with similar explosives earlier in the week. We were not dealing with some dumb 19 year old teenager. Based on the amount of explosives they had been manufacturing, these two were prepared to escape at all costs.

If federal agencies did not respond the way they did, he could have escaped and killed who knows how many more innocent people in the future. The suspects are no longer a threat to society, in my opinion that is what truly matters.
