Boston Marathon Terror Attack - Part 2

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Excellent quote.

I think conspiracy theorist just have way to much time on their hands. They try hard too be "unique" with their views and beliefs.

 

[enterthemadness]

I don't think I would be against police searching my house looking for a terrorist.

I would tell them not to break stuff or make things into a damn mess. Wait, no...I got confused. Looking for a person means they wouldn't have to go through my stuff or anybody's stuff. Ok.

Anyhoo...I haven't kept up with news, but did the media or Govt or Boston comment on why Private Security Firm(s) were at the marathon? I'm gonna guess they had permission to show or or showed up as a extra set of hands.

If I ever meet anyone in real life who thinks the Boston double-amputee victims were hired actors, there's going to be another amputee victim: me, after I break my foot up your ass. - Maddox

Good quote.

Maddox is still around?

If a terrorists, who had blown up innocent men, women, and children during a footrace through my city, then had a couple days later killed a local policeman sitting in his car and then had had a 10 minute gunfight while throwing multiple bombs at the police were thought to be in my area.....I wouldn't have the slightest amount of hesitation to invite the police into my house to look around....I would want them to come in and look around.

When people complain about how they came to people's doors armed with their guns drawn....I have to say....have you ever watched the news or a movie or a TV show? Bad people hide in houses. Sometimes they tell the people who open the door for the cops to tell them that they are alright and all alone. The police have to go in ready for anything and search.

I remember several years ago when I was in high school, I was stopped early in the morning by some cops as I was leaving the building. They asked which side my apartment was on because they were looking for somebody or something. After I told them, they amde me take them to my apartment while my mom and brother were still there so that they could look out the window into the area behind us. Of course, we didn't know what was going on and my mom scolded me because she's always paranoid so she thought that maybe this was one of those incidents where someone is dressed as a cop but are actually trying to rob you or something.

But I'd have to imagine that everyone in the neighborhood was completely aware of the situation, so in cases like this, I think people should be completely cooperative when the cops come knocking on your door. I have no problem with it unless they cross the line and show reckless abandon and start breaking things on their own.

I would tell them not to break stuff or make things into a damn mess. Wait, no...I got confused. Looking for a person means they wouldn't have to go through my stuff or anybody's stuff. Ok.

There was a guy on CNN the other day who showed his video of the search from inside his house and he basically said hey looked inside doors and rooms, but didn't check things like small cabinets. But they were checking areas like sheds and basements, since someone could easily be hiding there without the resident's knowledge.

To add some levity to a mostly serious thread, this tweet gave me a chuckle.

"I'm tired of this terrorist bull**** ******** w our country. **** it, just nuke Czechoslovakia."

 

[Schlosser85]

I've read a depressing amount of idiots who can't tell the difference between Chechneya and Czechoslovakia.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I feel bad for the Czech ambassador. Now he doesn't just have to keep explaining to people that his country and Slovakia separated, but he has to explain what Chechnya is.

I told my boss the other day that the bombers were Chechen and she looked at me and said "Saudi Arabian?" No, I said. Chechen. She looked at me blankly. Then I just said "Russia" and then she got it.

The bomber is "alert" and says his brother was the mastermind..

I wonder if they even teach geography anymore. There seem to be peopleout there that can't find anything on a map unless its their own home town.

Another thing is the fact that white people don't care because they look different, when these two men are the whitest people you can have. They're literally the most Caucasian people you could meet.

Hahaha true.

He can commiserate with the Austrian ambassador, who keeps being asked about boomerangs, kangaroos and Hugh Jackman.

Reminds me of Bush confusing Austria and Australia.

I was listening to someone on CNN who was saying that this is the likely scenario seeing as how the older brother is dead. It might have made things harder if he was alive because then they both would have been pointing the finger at each other. But at the same time, it might've been easier to get information had he been alive since he seems to be more involved from the get-go.

 

[KalMart]

I'm not surprised that the older brother was the 'mastermind' behind it, but is the younger one saying he was somehow forced into it, or just referring to the 'chain of command'?

 

[JaD]

I'm still surprised the father is denying his sons' involvement and believing they were set up. Now that Dzhokhar is actually awake and giving details it's kind of strange to still think that. If his sons were angels and would never done that they would have turned themselves in quietly for questioning wouldn't they? Is the father planning to even try and support his son and try to contact him?

 

[SpideyVille]

The kid is now listed in "Fair" condition, as opposed to "Serious".

HYeah, there's still part of me that wonders if they got the wrong people, but the fact that he's confessing to being involved, not to mention the fact that they threw bombs out the windows is more than enough to say they were at least linked.

But the mother is also saying they're innocent, and she also think that now people will come after her and kill her, which she'll accept since she wants to be with her children.

I wouldn't be surprised if this kid was holding back information , but the way it was worded suggests the younger brother was just following the leader.

There is footage and photos placing the bombs. Its not even really a question of if they did it. Innocent until proven guilty is just a legal formality at this point.

I'm trying not to let this conspiracy stuff bug me so much but I just find it so disrespectful to the families. Even though I could easily debunk things like the double amputee not being a war veteran that some claim (not only do they not look alike but the war veteran is missing a pinky from his injuries as well which the marathon victim obviously isn't) people just keep piling stuff on top of one another as "truth" Smh. If anything, I'm really hoping someone like a war amputee can visit these victims and support them in their recoveries.

It’s called denial. I can’t imagine what these guys’ have put their friends and families through (not that the bombers themselves deserve any sympathy, but their family is surely a victim of their actions as well). The parents denying their children’s involvement is part of the grieving process. Everyone deals with it differently. Having the world tell you that your children killed several people and seriously wounded over 200 others can’t be an easy thing to accept, and I'm sure that denying the reality of it is the only way they can cope with it right now.

Is the father planning to even try and support his son and try to contact him?

I think I recall hearing somewhere that they are coming to the US soon. Whether that means an intent to support or damn him, I couldn’t say.

I get the feeling unless he pleads not guilty we may never see the bag drops, maybe a still frame, but definitely not the explosion out of respect for the families, naturally. But we all know that refusing to release disturbing images is a cover-up, right? Am I right, huh?
