Boston Marathon bombed

[Hooahguy]

I searched around and found this report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjmjZjssnk

I doubt many people care how the guy died and it saves the state the cost of a trial.

I doubt that any more gets said on the topic.

But to me, no matter how big a scumbag he was the police should not be judge, jury, and executioner.

If they lie about one thing how do you believe them on anything else?

I dont know where I saw it but I remember reading that it was the younger brother who was driving that SUV. The police were arresting the older brother when the younger one got in the police SUV and drove straight at the police who were arresting the older brother, hitting him. The police were able to dive away in time.

I found an interesting page on this bombing: http://imgur.com/a/Nx8EU

Also, I find it funny that from some Americans don't make a difference between Chechens and Czechs (as I've seen in some news).

Well lessons learned last week were:
1) It is always bigger in Texas "That ain't a fertiliser bomb, this is."
2) Unregulated and unenforced capitalism is more dangerous then terrorism. Greed trumps maliciousness.

Congress did not pass CISPA

Distracted by Texas? So the plant was playing the long game?

Dude the vast majority of those images came straight from the most retarded of 4chan users in /pol/. It's quite astounding how far the 4chan image dumps were shared on the internet. Hell, half of Reddit tried joining in to catch the bombers before the FBI released pictures.

Good article from those terrorists over at AlJazeera:

I bet that dead terrorist feels dumb because he could have not bombed Boston and just claimed responsibility for the fertilizer plant

Yes we know this. It's also a bit rich that same outlets that create this climate of fear turn right around and rap us on the nose for being scared.

"Terrorists" over at Al Jezerra? I swear to Christ you people meet Americans in your head and look no further.

Oh? I took it for granted he was sarcastic.

But with people these days...

[Papewaio]

Sarcasm in the Backroom! Say it isn't so.

[HopAlongBunny]

Sarcasm!? I prefer the appellation "ironic".

I found it ironic that Aj was one of the few news outlets during the Dubyah regime that at least (usually) got the facts right; alas they were "outside the bubble" hence in league with shady ppl.

It is a continuing irony that they remain a decent source of news and analysis while the "real" news outlets continue to spew crap :p

[Fragony]

Agreed, AJ is reliable

No one believed that except the insane conservatives. It was just slander from the Bush Administration to reduce the credibility of their reporting. That's why Strike claimed you people meet Americans in your head and look no further because you obviously haven't talked to many if any real Americans.

It's as if someone came in here and said "Here is a news article from those "liberal jews", the washington post." As if the Nixon Administration's attacks on unfavorable media were in anyway indicative of the public consensus.

That is kinda the sad truth really. Any European who claims that Europeans don't like looking down on Americans is lying. I have never understood it really

[Greyblades]

We like looking down on america half because we are jealous of your current dominance and half because we are dismayed at the crap job you are doing at what used to be our schtick, professional pride and all that. Also we find it hilarious that the front runners and main backers of democracy and free capitalism are now having it bite them in the arse big time.

“Nobody except the insane conservatives.” Well that narrows down the population nicely. I suggest you reread the Al-Jazeera article, and then contemplate the simple absolute certainty with which a Romney presidency was expected by quite a few Americans. Deluded or insane. As an American who supposedly has talked to quite a few Americans and therefore is eminently qualified to make that call, you be the judge of that.

That is kinda the sad truth really. Any European who claims that Europeans don't like looking down on Americans is lying. I have never understood it really

For that matter, any American who claims that Americans don't like looking down on Americans is most definitely lying, too. Americans everywhere look down on Mississippi which at times seems to exist solely for the benefit of making Alabama and others feel a bit better about themselves. And then there is Florida.

I think you will find that they start them young in the EU. It is at primary and high school that they teach them how they screwed up the world. Just look at England, to wave the flag is seen as a facist gesture.

[Greyblades]

Oh please, as if we had enough self esteem to teach our kids of thier history. As far as britain's children know the 17-1900's was a period where nothing happened except for the american slave trade's end, the boring parts of the industrial revolution and, if they are lucky, the fact that napoleon existed.
Give it a century, a world scale war or two, (with the way america's leaders are devolving, such is a certainty) and america will join us in the club of undeserved self loathing and denial.

NEWSFLASH: I'm not sure if this has reached international media...

But according to objective and reliable sources (their mother) the bombers are innocent. The whole thing of actual bombs is also a hoax.

She NAILED IT

Or, well, technically their father did. Ill advised IMHO.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Yes the parents are coming across as being a bit bizarre in the videos.

Apparently they believe that an Armenian convert to Islam that was friends with their sons has somehow framed them.

The parents (or at least the mother, it's only her I've seen being interviewed) don't seem to show any remorse for the victims of the bombings.

It's hard to gauge much from them since they are probably not thinking very rationally at the minute, but I have found their reaction strange.

[ICantSpellDawg]

What is up with all of the dropping f-bombs lately in the forums? Its a waste of letters and detracts from your argument. Pointlessness and against forum guidelines, unless I'm missing new rules somewhere.

I don't see any, but I am guilty of doing it sometimes I don't think about it when I do

[ICantSpellDawg]

ACIN has been doing it a lot lately, in numerous threads and I've reported them because I am a jerk.

A somewhat wider discussion of civilian casualties:

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/...-of-civilians/

Which leaves open the question of how to stop the cycle of violence.

[Greyblades]

Complete and utter extermination of the other side and any who sympathise.

Sure, one side mighty collectively decide to not take revenge, but what are the chances of that?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Complete and utter extermination of the other side and any who sympathise....

Yes, this approach can work, as the city fathers of Carthage might attest, but it can be a costly resolution process. Moreover, it tends to function poorly if there is not a significant power imbalance.

[Strike For The South]

So CISPA looks like it's DOA.

Looks like the government should have killed more people

For having the ability to commit such sinister conspiracies we really lack on the follow through.

Most of you are brain dead idiots and I pray everynight for happiness to elude you

Good day

[Montmorency]

What is happiness (to you)?

loose women, copious amounts of alcohol, and your silence.
