Boston Marathon

[LowThudd]

The cheering does seem quite out of place, but as previously stated, is most likely a spontaneous occurance of pride about the Boston PD. The only good that can come from this miserable waste of air living is that they may be able to get info from him  to prevent future bombings.

When I first heard they were Russian, I was thinking maybe some kind of crazy Russian mob hit. It now appears that their motives were simply anti westerner. Damn scum. If they don't like it here, maybe they should have enjoyed their life in Chechnya for longer.

Why do you have to wonder? Parents thinking their kids are too angelic to be criminals is a revelation?
If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times: "my _ is a good boy, he didn't kill nobody"

rumor is coming out that the FBI had this family under watch due to a tip off from a 'foreign' agency.
sounds like another intel failure if that's the case

oh. and foreign agency... think Chechnya muslim terrorist and you'll figure out who had them under watch.

Im going to have to watch the last couple of days of News when I get back. Im glad they got both of them, one way or the other.

Shoot at cops, get caught on video and you deserve to die.  Were it me I would not have had such a huge scene around the boat when a HOMEOWNER (not 9000 LEO's) found him.  I would have had a dozen guys with guns and a gas can.  As I was pouring the gasoline around and on the boat I would calmly say "Better give up" He would either toss out his gun and give up or save the taxpayers a lot of cash.....

I suppose the take him alive bit is going to upset the conspiracy crowd.  Sometimes it is nothing more than a pissed off very angry human that causes problems.

Oh I'm not saying people always think their kids are angels... I grew up in the ghetto... I know about bad kids/people..  but if the FBI did have them under servalance, they need to fire that team to let them bomb a marathon.

It would have been great if Asshole #2 had happened to try to commandeer some residence and was taken out by the homeowner.....with an AR15 with a high-capacity magazine.

But we would have never heard that story.

For the record...this thread has passed it's 3/4 life.

Keep it up.

In my old age I have come to believe that murderous intent and rage pre-exist in some folks,,,,the capacity is already there primed and set to blow

and the only thing left is for a given individual to manufacture a reason to exercise that murderous intent and rage.

Savagery and animal behavior are already in place and escalating and the person consciously attaches that raw ugliness to some intellectual notion or excuse or "justification"

its as simple banal and repugnant a premise as "misery loves company"

I don't think a lot of genocide types have ever come out and said...I killed 1-11ty billion people because I thought it would make me feel better when in fact that is probably closer to the truth

I think you're on to something, but like anything, it can be conditioned out of someone, or a population.

Feed someone a steady diet of "you've been cheated", "it's not fair" and "those people are the cause of your problems" and all of a sudden, you have a very self-confirmed conclusion.  He could be rich or poor or educated or a moron -- if the individual believes their problems exist because of someone/thing else, they'll attack it.

Utter lack of self-awareness and responsibility -- it can be taught, and passed thru generations.
