Someone hiding in a Boat....

He's starring in the Life of Die...Sorry, couldn't help it.

As of right now, I think its likely an extreme Islamic issue. I think there's a 40-60 chance that they worked alone though. The older brother had been to Russia recently, the younger( as far as reports go now) hasn't left the America since he was a small child.

I guess it would be nice to think that the only reason Muslims kill people is because they are terrorists. But I doubt that is the case.

Can you explain why Chenyans would have a problem with the US? Didn't we actually fight for the Muslims in Europe when Clinton was in office?

Yet, for some reason, you fall back on it not being the fault of the ideology.

What discussing motivation what has to be taken into account is that these were brothers who may have some common experiences which may have been the source for these acts.

I find it very curious that they did not harm the man they hijacked the car from. After killings and maiming many others. If this killing spree was motivated by a religious belief that man should have been killed as well.

There is more to this story.

Yet they killed a security guard who was not even aware they were there.

Given that for decades now, almost ALL of these kinds of sneak attacks via bomb or other weapons of mass destruction have been done by Muslim extremists, it is perfectly reasonable for Muslim extremists to be the first suspects when such attacks occur. Just as we do NOT expect Muslim extremists to be implicated in the mass murders committed quite visibly by gunmen who then usually take their own lives.

I would have had no problem with your point of view if you had offered a reasoned argument for why Muslim extremists are probably not the logical suspects in this case. But you didn't do that. You accused me, by implication, of being racist toward 'dirty Arab Mooslims' (your phrase, not mine.)

Since I don't think in terms like 'dirty Araba mooslims' or use such phrases in my arguments, that reflects on you and not me. So don't lose any sleep over me feeling 'victimized' in any way just because you call people names or characterize them in dishonest ways. It takes more than calling me names to 'victimize' me.

At the same time, the link to radical Islamic regions appears to be a fact related to the Boston bombers and does provide a piece of circumstantial evidence pointing to Islamic extremism as a motive for the Boston bombings while in no means is conclusive. It seems to me that intelligent and reasoned leftists or rightists would have no problem accepting that such information does exist.

Look, I have no desire to argue with you. You have a bad habit of ignoring facts that don't fit your personal narrative. You can stand on your soap box and shout about how the left was pushing their agenda while the right wore their halos and sought justice till the cows come home.If it makes you feel better, go for it.

I just felt the need to once again point out how much you give away when you do so

If you have no desire to argue with me, then don't.

I don't spend my time accusing you, defining you, telling you what you think, what you believe, what you ignore, what you push, what you shout. And because you are a leftist, I don't expect you to see it when that is what you do to me even when you have to make up a straw man or red herring or some other nonsense because you can't use a single illustration in context to back up your accusations of me.

But I will continue to call you on it when you misquote me or mischaracterize what I have posted.

Meanwhile, I prefer to focus on the topic if that is okay with you.

Do we have a post of the year award?

Unofficial word on police scanner is they just cuffed the white hat suspect.

Edit: Cancel that... apparently the police jumped and cuffed an elderly man by mistake

At least they didn't shoot him.

 

[Unkotare]

Somebody cornered, but not yet in custody.

 

[Pop23]

I hope they take him alive. I want to hear what he says.

Before he takes a ride on old sparky.

I am watching how fixated the media is on the Boston Bombers. But I am stunned buy how the media seems to ignore the mass deaths at West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion, and they were preventable. This is makes my head spin.

They sure are taking their time with this guy they have cornered.

I've seen pretty much coverage of both.....

 

[daws101]

Yes george and a few posts ago it was Iraq. So in your eyes we deserve to have our 8 year old children killed by a bomb.

Fuck you.

And when you respond as the asshole you are shaping up to be, expect more negs......

What part of killing children do you endorse?

Not the what about the children nonsense again..

 

[Pop23]

Why don't they just hook up to that boat, take it to the river and shoot a few holes in it.

I promise he would come out. Even if he didn't it would save the taxpayers a bundle!

We want a suspect alive - to interrogate, to see if they were lone actors or not, to see if we can expect more attacks, to see where to deliver our protest. & an actual interrogation, not some hack job by Extraordinary Rendition nor merely drop a Hellfire on him.

You may have to invade Russia.
Alive is good news.
With luck, they can find out who got the kid to do this and get them as well.

Therein lies the inconstancy with a purely religious motivation.

 

[Foxfyre]

Well they've got him and they took him alive. He's in custody and in the hospital in serious but apparently not critical condition. And no doubt they have him under very heavy guard. I am so glad that they took him alive. We need to know what motivation was behind this for sure though there is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence being reported if they have that part right--Facebook postings, etc. But at least Boston's long nightmare is over for now except for those mourning or recovering from horrendous injuries. May prayers continue to be with them as the healing begins.

His mother said the FBI put him up to it.

Boston's nightmare is just beginning. A lot of people knew what these guys were planning. They questioned the older bro two years ago, and Dad said his sons talked to him about the bombing last week.
