    That's a good question, maybe someone in the media with get an answer.
    As long as someone is asking questions of the government in this situation maybe we can find out how many people in the last 4 years have been named by foreign governments as suspected terrorists? 10? 1000? 10000? How many has the FBI investigate, like Big Brother Bomber#1?

    How easy would it be for China to tell the US Government that everyone from Tiawan is a suspected terrorist? Israel of every Palestinian in America? The French of every German?

    I'm sure the FBI has gone through every room these 2 have lived in since they lived in the USA. The fact that there have been no leaks about the quanity and quality of the weapons recovered is quite telling.

    Those individuals showed what two motivated high school graduates and their internet connection can do!

    The cops in LA shot a white surfer and 2 Mexican newspaper carriers while on a manhunt for a black cop.

    Perhaps there was friendly fire.

    2, Collier, deceased and Donohue, injured.

    No other officer injured by gunfire or explosive device, post-marathon.

    And Collier was "pre chase" so there was one cop injured during shootout. Donahue was shot so ballistics should indicate where the bullet came from and what type of gun.

    This is wrong. Yes, every religion has its extremists, but Muslim extremists have proven again and again throughout the world that they are willing to take matters into their own hands. It is perfectly reasonable to realize that the great majority of Muslims do not pose a threat but in relation to its extremist counterparts, the religion certainly does pose a threat, a worldwide threat. Ignoring that reality is dangerous.

    This is purposefully ignorant and nonsensical.

    The professor at FAU who said Sandy Hook was faked says this is a fake, too. I feel so much better knowing nobody really died or got hurt.

    Those folks who lost their legs, have shrapnel in them or lost their 8-year-old son will be glad to know this is all fake.

    There are more looney tunes professors in the world than there are Muslim extremists.

    Probably a couple at most.

    But, how is that some kind of response to Boom's post?

    All media reports have described the brothers firing hundreds of rounds between them.

    The cops ran out of bullets before the brothers!

    There were reports they had a rifle.

    Is all of this false? If so, where did the info come from, and why did it take nearly a week to correct?

    This tweet from CNN tickled me. Of course it's Brigham and Women's Hospital which is tied to Harvard Medical School. Nothing to do with Brigham Young. Makes it funnier that it was re tweeted by CNN PR dept.

    Brigham Young's Dr. Wall on treating Boston bombing victims: We don't feel helpless in here, we feel it's our mission to get people back.
