    What bad came of it? Tell me.

    How does that compare to a dead cop?

    Hurt feelings vs. dead cop. There's a difference.

    They were cleared as "suspects" because they were innocent.

    We'd all seen their picture on the internet, prior to the Post publishing it. Once they were on the cover of the Post, they were identified, and clearly were not the bombers.

    The actual bombers were not identified by the FBI. They were identified by the public once the FBI determined they could not identify them (even though they had previously interviewed them).

    You know what.

    I'm done. Ruckus is right, and I was stupid to try to engage you in conversation. Every now and then, I forget.

    Why don't you just answer the question?

    How many "brown people" were suspected or "threatened"?

    What did these "threats" entail, and how long did they last?

    Are the kids who were on the Post's cover in any danger right now? Did a single bad thing happen to them? A single thing?

    A cop was executed -- because the FBI couldn't remember that they had interviewed the guy who's photo they had.

    "So, what were you doing in Chechnya?"

    "Oh, just visiting some family and we went camping."

    Conveniently forgetting, of course, the actual documented bombing run Clinton ordered that barely missed Bin Laden. Do you have a "I'll Be a Jingoistic Prat" folder on your computer that you get your go-to bytes from? Anyway, don't worry, this situation will pass and you'll be able to go back to begging for us to pay attention to your pet abortion doctor.

    "Aspirin factory! Aspirin factory!"

    Eagerly awaiting the "Clinton was offered Osama on a silver platter and refused him!" that was a staple several years ago.

    There is plenty of ammunition to fire at YF, political and otherwise, so to keep going back and exploiting what happened in regards to that abortion doctor speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.

    You never know.

    Let him heal up for a few weeks, then tell him, "you can make this easy or you can make this hard."

    Then bring in the battery cables.

    While you all were fighting ...

    1. Channel 4 in Britain interviews the father, who came off as ignorant and batshit crazy on Friday. Today, he's now saying he talked to his (estranged? former?) wife, who said she spoke with Tamerlan in the days after the bombing, and he mentioned the FBI had been onto him.

    (LAT spoke to the mom and she confirmed this: http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-tsarnaev-mother-20130421,0,6590529.story)

    2. According to the LAT, our surviving lad was cursing up a storm when he gave himself up.

    3. The Watertown police chief spoke with a few outlets today about some details on the shootout. Interesting stuff.

    4. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was pissy after an MLK Day sermon at his mosque.
