Boston Marathon - bombs explode at finish

[rhomas]

I feel for the victims and their families. Considering the myriad groups of people with perceived axes to grind, I sincerely hope that the investigation will lead to the culprits and that swift judgement is meted out for this senseless act of violence. Hopefully, CNN's analyst will be proven to be an idiot with his presumption that "right wing extremists" are guilty of this.

Don't know what to say, other than an eye for an eye. When the perps are found, they should tie them all four quarters to four horses, and slap those horses hard in the arse. Should be filmed so all future perps will see what their fate will be. I know that's barbaric, but how else do you deal with barbarians?

It's a fact that the media immediately speculates ideological driven 'shirts and skins' scoop conjecture.

....with intensified interrogation tactics. You ok with that?....I am.

"I treated anarchists and the bomb-throwing and dynamiting gentry precisely as I treated other criminals. Murder is murder. It is not rendered one whit better by the allegation that it is committed on behalf of 'a cause'."

- Theodore Roosevelt, 1913

Agree. Murderers are murderers, regardless their alleged cause.

I pray for the victims, law enforcement, and our loss as a nation. It makes my stupid, selfish problems seem small.

We need to start stretching hemp instead of smoking it.

 

[cowboy]

This is just SICK.... Instead of realizing we have a sick society.. we will get another round of we need to ban ?????...

"Pressure cookers" will be next on the list.

hemp? really? this is aweful and has nothing to do with hippies. whether it's an international attack or some home-grown idiot, this has nothing to do with hemp. i've run many marathons and ultra-marathons and will continue to do so. this is the act of a coward, not a pot-head.

Amen, Pagosa.

Hemp was the traditional rope of choice for hangmen, not hippies. I'm with NHY.

I just watched an interview of the terrorists' father saying his sons were framed. Apparently the video of them placing the bomb at the feet of an 8 year old kid wasn't convincing enough... and throwing bomb material out of the car they just stole, while being chased by police. That must have been a coincidence too. I'm so freakin' mad right now...

Anzor Tsarnaev, the suspects' father in an interview with CNN:

"Cowards shot my elder son to death. I can't imagine who would do this. Thank Allah that they were not there and didn't suffer. I honestly can't imagine who could do this. Whoever did it is a bastard. That's all I have to say."

Translation on the bolded part anybody?

Ashame he wasn't there with them.

 

[Goldtip]

Looks like at least one of them has found his seat in hell, hopefully the other is not far behind.

Overseas, and here in the Homeland. I hope everyone, protecting our country and putting themselves in harms way, stays safe.

I'm okay with that. When you're in a lowdown fight with people who target kids, you gotta fight dirty.

How many CC amps do you think we need? I hope they get real answers from this POS. Then they can cross the cables.

....with intensified interrogation tactics. You ok with that?....I am.

Works for me.

Update, 8:47 p.m.: Suspect. In. Custody. Tsarnaev has been taken alive.

Now begins an inevitable debate — signaled today by Sen. Lindsey Graham — about charging and trying Tsarnaev in civilian or military custody. He’s an American citizen, giving him the right to trial in a civilian court. Whatever the Obama administration chooses to do will face criticism. We’ve got emails out to see what its plans are.

NBC reports that Tsarnaev has been read his Miranda rights.

It is remarkable that law enforcement went from no leads to an alive, apprehended suspect after five days.
