Explosion at Boston Marathon II

The group "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is Innocent" on Facebook has more than 14 million users. Most of these people are devotees of conspiracy theories and teenage girls.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to see Ron Paul whining from the sideline.

We should be as frightened by the manhunt as we were by the attack? How do we continue to produce such idiots?

 

Small price to pay for insuring the absence of "profiling" at our airports, etc. Works well, doesn't it? wink wink.

The medical costs of this attack are staggering. Add that to the approximately $330 million the City of Boston said was lost in taxes uncollected/money not spent on the day of the manhunt. The $330 million lost in lost sales came from Boston City officials toward the end of the day of the manhunt. Again --Unbelievable!!

 

Well I see the crybabies got the NBA gay out thread locked, leaving this one as the only thread that's substantive yet controversial.

The economics of the manhunt will be dumped on Joe Public, who doesn't have a say in the profiling and other shit that Russia and Great Britain do to solve such crimes quicker.

 

The Boston police get to wear cool military gear, though, so it's all good.

 

And we use the "we're a better country than that" mantra to justify it.

Fuck that.

Incarceration of Japanese on the west coast in WWII was shameful but it was at that point the lesser of two evils. And the ends justify the means at time if security is at risk. Just as if someone invaded your home. You're not normally a murderer but you'd split open the skull of the bastard that did that and anyone in his group who would take his place in a nanosecond and by any means possible. We know who the enemy is and it's time to crack down on Islam even in our own places of worship to root out, through CIA means or otherwise, any rats or connection to rats.

 

And the compliant citizens all cheered for them and The USA. It made you feel good about the human condition.

 

Yeah, I never did like due process or religious freedom much...

 

Who is the enemy? You can't bomb ideas.

 

dog, in all seriousness, I agree with your goal (because it's "get rid of terrorism," and I'm not stupid.) But there is literally no way to do what you're suggesting without violating not just laws, but the spirit and soul of this nation. We love our freedom so much, we want to take it away from people who we think might be a threat to it, but it doesn't work that way. They get to be free, too. The older brother wasn't a radicalized Muslim all his life. So what if you do your "crackdown on Islam" (because as we all know, Christians never commit violent acts), and you take, say, the 25-year-old idealogue out of a mosque, and his 17-year-old brother, who never gave much of a damn about the cause all of a sudden finds himself feeling pissed off with no outlet. NOW you've got a radicalized Muslim to replace the one you just removed.

Radical Islam isn't a sickness. It's a symptom. You suck on a cough drop, the strep doesn't go away.

 

Please run for office someday. I would so enjoy watching anyone with a brain tear down your argument.
