@emptywheel I'm not too concerned that cities shld be shut down for equally damaging crimes. We should shut cities down infrequently, period -
@DaveedGR Yup. Agree there.

@emptywheel Rather, my concern is a cost-benefit calculus: when do you shut a city down when there's ongoing danger & incomplete info? -
@DaveedGR Yes. With the added caveat of trying to understand how it will affect potential further attacks, in case specifically of terrorism - End of conversation

@emptywheel@DaveedGR And if you don't it also incents terror, only f a different kind. The shut down decision is not a free variable. -
@SSNewberry Not sure what you mean? -
@emptywheel If you need 10 squad cars to arrest a drunk, a trillion dollars to lose 2 wars, how many does it take to arrest a bomber?

@emptywheel Such a question will likely arise again. Thus, this deserves a lot of discussion as a paradigmatic case (when more info is in).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
