A deeply convinced Anarchist and sex worker rights advocate, Tamerlan saw oppression all around him in the so-called liberal north-east. "There is no dignity for working people anymore", he once said, "The authorities can't control themselves in committing mass acts of sexism, homophobia, racism, violence and repression".

On Yotube, he endorsed a video that praised IWW strikers as being "Alive with Social Activism" and another in which Happy Lunarwoman, a radical activist and neopagan cleric, railed against Movies featuring too many rigid gender-role non-queer characters that drank non-Fair Trade Coffee.

Shit, I just screwed up. Sorry, I had my EIB Gold reading glasses on, let me get my regular pair. Here we go:

Hehe, that was a good one - touche!

I wonder if autopsy will show Tamerlan had any steroids in his system.

Wife & child? This will forever stain their lives.

I'm adding this story to my long list of reasons why we should not allow immigration.

Spoken like a true conservative. I got mine. Fuck everybody else.

This is also the reason why we shouldn't build anymore housing. I got my house, everyone else can live in a 300 sq. ft. apartment or on the street. We should also get rid of college. I got my degree, fuck everyone else. We should also get rid of marriage. I got my spouse, fuck everyone else. And shut down all retirement plans. I got my 401K, fuck everybody else.

The point is fair, we shouldnt be letting in so many foreigners and giving them a free education while US Citizens are denied because of so called diversity programs.

I bet the lefties of the world are bummed these guys are Muslim and not right-wing nutters or tea partiers.

Did the elite left come out of their war room and figure out what spin to put out there on the MSNBC and NPR airwaves ? I suspect they will blame society for alienating these two brothers, and that the USA is to blame for what happened. Salon.com has egg on the face praying that the bombers were white. Well, they are "White", except they are White Al Qaeda (i.e., from or near the region of Chechnya). Exactly the types that Al Qaeda or any foreign terrorist organization would love to recruit and train on explosives, and urban warfighting.

Immigration quotas are a fair point. A completely closed border is just a dumb idea, especially in the age of Globalization.

Perhaps, but we liberals are not. They are clearly terrorists and murderers. They should be tried in a fair, open court, and if convicted -- which given the evidence is damn likely -- given life imprisonment to spend regretting their crimes and serving as an example that blowing up innocents is a fucking stupid thing to do.

Of course, Islam is just what Christianity was a little while ago. The core problem is the irrationality of religion and superstition. The world would be a far better place without religion and with everyone getting an education in science and rational thought instead. When was the last time a physicist blew up innocent people?

Although, Einstein was also prominently featured in the Red Alert series. I don't think he blew anyone up. He did create a weather control device though...

But since we're nerding out. Aliens Colonial Marines? Much better than the reviews. A bit of a let down, but still a good game overall.

From recent news:
"People who know the younger Tsarnaev described him as bright, studious and quiet, with ambitions in medicine. The older was a boxer who said he dreamed of joining the U.S. Olympic team."
Something is not clear here for sure. Way somebody as described can plot bomb in public place without any particular reason? Do they be treated or paid handsomely to do it? If police kill another brother (they anxious to do it) the real truth will be nicely covered and die with them.

This guy will no doubt get a first class suite at Gitmo, if he comes to the states for the trial.

The father of the suspects, reached in Makhachkala, Russia, by The Associated Press, has also called on his son to surrender peacefully, but reportedly warned the United States that “all hell will break loose” if he’ll killed.

"My son is a true angel," Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press. "Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."

Anzor Tsarnaev, who characterized his younger son as an intelligent and accomplished young man, told ABC News that he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. He said his sons reassured him, saying, "Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good."

"Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you,” Anzor Tsarneav said, according to ABC News. “Come home to Russia.”

He continued: "If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."

Right here in this thread we have Thomas Wong peddling the idea it was Marxists.

oh... and where did i mention the recent terrorist attack was the work of the Red Army Faction, Weather Men Underground, Baader-Meinhof Gang ?

nadda...

i pointed out how the Liberals were jumping the gun ...

as posted above... here it is again...

as already shown on Pnet above ...

Liberals Are Already Blaming Boston Marathon Bombing On Conservatives

ww.rightwingnews.com/crime/liberals-are-already-blaming-boston-marathon-bombing-on-conservatives/

After national tragedies, liberals almost inevitably come out of the woodwork looking for ways to blame the whole thing on conservatives. Sadly, the Boston Marathon bombing has been no exception to that rule. Even though at present, there is absolutely nothing that ties the Boston Marathon bombing to conservatives, there are still Left-Wingers still trying to blame these attacks on the Right.

CNN’s national security analyst Peter Bergen suggested more than once that a, “right-wing extremist group” could be behind the attacks.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews falsely claimed that, “Normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right.”

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof tweeted, “Explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment.”

And of course, we can’t forget Michael Moore. "2+2= "

Are you an Alzheimer patient or something? Or does your keyboard diarrhea just make it impossible to keep straight what you said yesterday?

I call that a US history lesson into late 19th and early 20th century discussion on bombings in the USA.. And a reminder of mass bombings in recent history.

So sorry.. you cant point to some right wing nut job on this terrorist attack.. your boy got killed by some crazy ass foreigner and you cant get over it.

I'm guessing a lone nut rather than a terror cell, however. I think Religion is the most likely, since a tax protestor or anti-abortionist generally attack facilities directly tied to their pet peeve.

I have never held any other assumption than it was a terrorist.

Please point to where in this thread I claimed otherwise. You can't. Then you attempt to rewrite your own history in this thread, when we can all read otherwise. Do you have some kind of disorder with a name?

This story is getting attention all over the world but is not on Boston.com: "Boston Marathon bombing suspect NOT read his Miranda rights". The FBI is reportedly invoking a "public safety exception." One comment on the Washington Post site is particularly good:

"The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger."

This seems to clearly indicate that such an exemption is not valid in this case. One suspect is dead. The other is under arrest. There is no indication of the involvment of others and no evidence that other bombs have been set. Just where is the "immediate danger"?

There seems to be a rush to water down the rights that Americans are guaranteed....

It seems worrisome that this tragedy may be misused as an excuse to take away even more of the safeguards against government excess, as 9/11 was misused to enact the horribly misnamed and unpatriotic "Patriot Act." Better to go through the usual procedure: arrest the suspect and inform him of his rights, then give him a fair trial where he is presumed innocent until the prosecutors prove the police got the right guy, then convict and sentence him, then electrocute him or inject him full of chemicals until he's dead.

185   thomaswong.1986   2013 Apr 19, 5:17pm

It appears the brother who was killed, was actually married and had a kid. Rather strange, unless they were fanatics. I wonder if they had backing from someone else? It would seem odd if they cooked this up by themselves.

Hardly the best job, though. They tell everyone they're packing it up for the night - that they checked everywhere and "it's safe to come out". One spokesman says, "We'll get him, he's still in Massachusetts".

Then a guy goes out to water his yard, and finds him! Blood everywhere. Then a police spokesman starts spinning it... " He was one block further than the perimeter we set up". Oh, and probably Russia warned the US about the brother over a year ago, and the FBI checked it out and TURNED HIM LOOSE.
Several people should be out of a job. Seriously.
Pretty close to Keystone Cops, if you think of it. And dollar per dollar? Oh man.

A guy with a garden hose finds him, after police give the all clear, and they're all heading for donuts. TSA might want to hire these guys. Wow

Here's what I guess.

There are pictures of him with hot girls at the gym, he had plenty of friends and won many boxing contests.

I think what happened is he had the start of a relationship with an American Girl, but she left him when he started insisting she act like a Muslim. That's where his DV conviction comes in. And his slide into evil Religion.

I think there should be a parallel investigation of any clerics he spoke with or met.

we are having a "who's a stupid ass" contest in America ... everyone that ask's , "why did they do this?" is a stupid ass. Everyone that says, "shoot the murdering coward in the head right away" is not a stupid ass.

I dont care why murdering cowards murder anyone. I dont care what weapon they choose. I dont care their age or color or sex or shoe size. I dont care their motivation or excuse. I dont care if their dad left them, beat them, or raped them every hour on the hour ... all that should matter is murder was done and justice for murder is a swift death to the bad guy.

you may recall that Lord Barry's very first message was "we will find them, and we will find out why". Why? Why ask why you leftist socialist commie arab puke?

I take it you quoting me 6 posts above is a concession on your part?

Let's see, I said lone nut but it was a couple a' nuts (blood relation), and correctly guessed they were not involved as part of any organized group. I said the attack was motivated by religion and/or right-wing ideals, which it was. Nothing to do with Weathermen, Bob Dylan, Emma Goldman, or the FAI.

I'll give my prediction 2/3 of a "Ding".

Not really. Why is very important here. Were they acting alone or is this part of a bigger conspiracy involving a larger group. I for one would like to know who else was involved and are they some sort of jihadist group??

Yeah, but there are a billion+ Muslims. It is who and how to stop them. When they attacked us on 9/11 Bushie's response made us a joke. The guy who attacked us lived and kept taunting us, while we went and invaded the wrong country-for what??

Like him or not, Obama restored some of our lost standing by getting Bin Laden. he was the only one willing to go to Pakistan to finish the job. If you can't get the guy who not only attacked you, but openly taunts you after the fact-what use is all that military power. Oh and that no bid military contract winner Halliburton is now based out of Dubai-another Muslim country.

196   Bap33   2013 Apr 20, 5:06am  

yea .. and so waterboarding must be the plan to get the info?? of are you stupid ass enough to think the truth just rolls out of a murdering coward?

Lord Barry "got OBL" .. sure he did .... seen a body? But, lets pretend it went down like the movie plot suggested, than the info used was gathered by waterbording and/or by force from questioning bad guys at Gitmo..... ummm .. Lorb Barry promised the liberal pukes, like that freak from Code Pink, that he would be closing Gitmo ... hmmm ... the liberal mind is a horrid center of filth.

Sure would be interesting if Ben-Gauzy was looked into like Boston was. And Fort Hood. Yea ..... stupid assfinding game is underway.

Why Tsarnaev committed the act is irrelevant to his punishment. As for his sentence, all that matters is that he clearly premeditated and intentionally set off the bombs and killed others. That's going to be pretty easy for the prosecution to establish.

However, why Tsarnaev and his brother committed the act most certainly is an important question to answer accurately in order to prevent such acts from being committed again. Understanding why something happens is always important for gaining wisdom.

As for giving Tsarnaev the death penalty, that would be a mistake on many levels. First, he will endure far more regret spending the rest of his life (60+ years) behind bars with no hope of getting out. Kill him and he dies happily expecting 72 virgins, something his girlfriend couldn't be for him.

Second, killing Tsarnaev will elevate him to the level of a martyr. Keeping him locked up will show him for what he really is, a criminal and nothing more.

Third, keeping Tsarnaev alive opens up the possibility that he will regret his actions so much that he becomes a vocal opponent of Jihad like a certain former gang member.
