this saddens me to no end
i was having a great day enjoying the weather when i began hearing this horrible news :(
whats wrong with people ?
-
You can see spectators took most of the hit. Officials are reporting amputations. At least 2 dead, with over 20 injured. My good friend was in the race. I talked to him this morning, as he was getting there.
I have been trying to reach him, but haven't been able to make contact. As it appears most of the injured were spectators, I assume he is ok, but just hasn't made it back to his phone. I'm seeing the blood-stained sidewalk, and they accidentally showed someone badly mangled. This is the friend, who made the graph about marriage equality polls vs interracial marriage equality polls, that I recently posted here.

Another explosion occurred at the JFK Library, but authorities were unsure if the incidents were linked.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/15/boston-marathon-explosion_n_3086665.html
No shit Sherlock. linked.
WTF...
-
Actually it was wise to say that might not be linked because now it seems (per CNN via Boston Globe) it was a mechanical room fire at the library that just happened to occur an hour or so after the bombs.
-
NBC news didn't want to call the JFK "incident" an explosion -- but the Boston Police Commissioner did during a new conference. So, I think there is still some confusion, as I think I'd believe him over CNN.
Now over 100 injured.
-
The President to speak at 6:10pm EDT.

That's nice, but the Boston Police Commissione just said otherwise. It was an unrelated fire.
And for some of the reporting going around via Murdoch's NY Post and being repeated on Faux News, there IS NO ONE IN CUSTODY, much less a Saudi national. This is also repeated by the Boston Police Commissioner.
-
Yes, the Commisioner did just back off his earlier statement. It was so far away, that it did not make much sense, but you would think the Police Commisioner would know when to say rhings.

I finally made contact with my friend in the race. He crossed the finish line before this happened. I knew he had friends running, so I did have some concern he may have waited in the spectator area to watch them cross, as he usually beats them.
I does make you think. He had called last night to talk. He wants me to run in a marathon with him, back in our hometown this fall. I missed it, and then didn't feel like returning the call. I am not sure I want to commit to that, so instead I put off the call. I did get to talk to him briefly this morning, but I will always try to call everyone back from now on.

Sometimes, I am simply unable to fathom the utter evil that would permit someone to do such a thing. It is simply too painful for words. Utter, unspeakable evil.

Truly unspeakable evil.
An 8 year old boy among the reported dead. As a father my heart is aching.
My thoughts and prayers out to all affected.

Such sad news.It makes me angry too.....so many people injured and loss of life for no valid reason.

Terrible, saddening news. Really angers me. Watching the explosion video footage was really painful.
-
Over here, we are getting reports of marathon runners who crossed the finishing line and then ran on to the Massachusetts General Hospital to donate blood. I'm reminded of the people of Newtown, CT who in the aftermath of their own unspeakable tragedy simply said "we choose love". What has happened among you shows us the worst of humanity; and the selfless actions of those who responded shows us its best.
I wish I could find words that don't sound like platitudes; from this small corner of the world, however, all I can do is express my profound sorrow at what has happened, and choose love. For what it's worth, my care and thoughts are with you today.
-
Ted, I'm glad your friend is ok.
I'm shocked and grieving for those who were killed and those who were maimed for life. It's hard to take it in.
...just awful.
Hugs to all.
-
Im getting angry and its way too soon to feel this way but all the news networks are regurgitating the same story over and over again . I'm sickened by what happened and I want answers and updates but the evidence that the coverage is a bit too much can be found when you realize how fast things that have turned out not to be true are getting reported .
Am I wrong ? , I don't remember so many errors being reported 10 years ago . It may be the competition in the 24 hour news cycle carries the blame .
-
You mean like Fox News using a report from the New York Post (both owned by Murdoch, natch) saying a Saudi national was detained by police, and then that naturally circulating endlessly for 24 hours around every right wing blog?
Turns out he's being questioned as a witness.
I didn't turn on the TV for news until a few minutes ago. That's your problem right there.
ps: will you girls worry about me when the large marathon in Philly passes right by my apartment in three weeks? Doubtful.
-

Yes , things like that . To be fair and balanced I must report that its not just Faux news doing this , its all of them . I guess the world has sped up , everything is wired and instant now . Back in the 80's there was generally more time to fact check before something actually made it onto the airwaves .

Now CNN is reporting that the poison ricin was just intercepted in the mail to a senator.
update: further testing CNN now reports has proven inconclusive
THANKS NEWS MEDIA
-
I'm getting the feeling that this bombing may be from a domestic group, maybe some patriot group or a group like "Sovereign Citizens", etc... I know the Boston Marathon would be a desired target for some of these groups, but also the fact that it occurred on Tax day makes me wonder, although that could just be coincidental.
I'm no terrorist expert but typically doesn't a foreign terror group usually claim responsibility by now?
-
Maybe it's members of the Texas Nationalist Movement hellbent on raining destruction on the Sodom and Gomorrah along the Charles River.
-
We have the country's biggest fireworks show coming up this Saturday. When weather is good, we often have 800,000 lining the banks of the river. Many are saying they aren't going and will not allow their kids to go. This is unfortunate.
It does get very crowded. I actually prefer colder weather years. If the weather is nice, you cannot move. I don't like feeling I cannot leave, or even make it to a porta-potty. On a chilly year, it would take 10 mins to walk to the bathrooms. On a warm year, you are looking at an hour and a half. Then, we have our Derby marathon coming up and the Derby. Many are now afraid to go. I'm going.

In India and more developing nations, such blast are just like casual wears. More and more innocent peoples get killed without reasons but the difference is in developed countries and having more educated peoples, they tackle the problems and attacks with greater intelligence and courage.(http://mashable.com/2013/04/16/boston-marathon-acts-of-kindness/)

***BREAKING*** Ricin poisoned letter just sent to President Obama intercepted
-
CNN Reporting -- an arrest has been made in the Boston bombings.......
-
CNN now Reporting..... Oops! There has been a 'misunderstanding', no arrest has been made and no one is in custody.
Ugh -- Why am working from home today -- time to switch to the classical music station........
-
Marathon bombing suspect has been arrested and is in custody but has not been arrested and may not exist. Cable news is a cluster fuck.

Shoddy half ass reporting is the new norm it seems . How many times did Walter Cronkite ever have to walk back a story . I'm not saying those were the good old days but it begs the question what is the benefit of living in the information age if its misinformation .
Things like this bother me if you cant tell .

CNN now reporting Obama received rice in the mail.

News collection and dissemination is different in the Digital Age -- if you don't like it why don't you two old women go watch an Antique Roadshow or Duck Dynasty marathon.

Go fuck yourself you gossipy, craggy bitch. You're just upset that you're tardy to the party.

A guy from Tupelo, Mississippi has been arrested (http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130417/NEWS/304170067/FBI-Secret-Service-Tupelo-investigating-ricin-letters) in connection with the two ricin poison letter.
Figures it was someone just 2 hours away from Birmingham.
-
Its a good thing they process mail away from the congress or White House but I sure hope they at least spring for some of those little paper mask for the guy in charge of the poison letter department .
I have been curious about what precautions are in place for the screeners .
-
The letter, received by Wicker’s office on Tuesday, had a Memphis postmark and no return address, Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer wrote in an e-mail to senators and aides. Tupelo’s mail is routed through Memphis.
The ricin was confirmed by preliminary tests on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Obama received a similar letter, and once again, preliminary tests showed there was ricin in it.
An FBI bulletin stated that both letters, postmarked April 8, included the identical phrase: "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."
___________
Color me confused. What wrong did both Obama AND Wicker commit? They are opposites..
Not that a poison-letter vigilante maniac should be rational.
-
Wicker was one of 16 Republicans to vote in favor of beginning the debate on gun control last week. Maybe this moron misread the headlines and thought he voted for gun control, not cloture. Seems logical that a gun nut would do that.
-

I have been curious about what precautions are in place for the screeners .
I was curious about this as well, especially after one of the reports stated that Ricin was detected "in their filters they use to screen the letters" So Im guessing they run all these letters through a machine that runs air across the letters and then the air is sent through a series of detection filters?
-
After the anthrax/9-11 letters they set up facilities for the White House and Capital off-site somewhere. Everything is screened. I'm sure the staff is protected so don't worry your little heads.

fyi, I found that link because it's trending among mainstream news org reporters personal accounts on twitter. In a sparse area like northeast MS I can't imagine that it's not this guy -- how many with the same name can there be. Anyway, it's not "FBI official" or anything yet so take it as you should until then.
o noes -- there's more. SO.MUCH.MOAR
his flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/17358634@N00/6395103769/) shows that he enjoyed being an Elvis impersonator. That is so totally full of redneck win I don't know what to say.
Kevin is also a Birther (https://twitter.com/kevincurtislive/status/266080146124070913)
we the people did not vote him in (nor did we the 1st term) it takes many years (and personal dedication towards TRUTH/JUSTICE)
And here he is on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/elvisguy4u). Seems he's a 1987 graduate from South Natchez High School in Natchez, Mississippi. Maybe Trey sucked him off.

This has nothing to do with the Boston Explosions Im sure, but West, Texas (WAco) has just had a massive fertilizer plant explode. Schools and nursing homes on fire. My son A firefighter, is responding right now with a crew from Temple, which is 40 miles away, to help out.

It appears mail sent to the home offices of Congressional members is not screened. A staffer for Sen. Levin received a letter at his office in Saginaw. She thought it was suspicious and turned it over to authorities for testing. She is being kept overnight in the hospital, as a precaution. So, it would appear anyone could bypass screening, by just sending to their local offices.

Well duh, Teddy. Do you actually think someone is going to pay taxes to screen mail in various congressional district offices?
-
So hundreds of conservatives are now "sharing" this photo to their timelines on facebook saying it proves that Curtis is a "liberal terrorist" and that the liberal media will hide this:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/4udw6g.jpg)
They seem ignorant of the fact that he's a birther and wanted Ted Nugent to run for President, and that he's obviously mocking this car sticker because I kind of doubt an Elvis impersonator in rural Mississippi is going to own a Lexus.
-
Well duh, Teddy. Do you actually think someone is going to pay taxes to screen mail in various congressional district offices?
Perhaps all mail to local offices should be routed to Washington first, and then sent back to local offices? I realize that would defeat the purpose, as I think many send letters to local offices, thinking it will definitely be read and read more quickly.
On a side note, the comment sections of news sites have not disappointed. Obama orchestrated the bombs and the letters, in order to take guns away. ::)
-
Ted, the goal isn't and never was to protect a singular Senate or House member. It was to protect the thousands of workers, as well as numerous Senate or House members, from exposure when they're in one of the four (I think that's how many there are) Senate /House Office Buildings surrounding the Capital building because an open letter containing anthrax, etc. would spread immediately through the entire system of air ventilation.
If the goal was to protect a singular House member they'd all have Secret Service protection 24/7. You do realize that they don't have that, right?

Ok, you don't have to talk down to me. I do realize only the key leaders get protection. I was just saying would it be such a big deal to route mail to Washington first, since the equipment is already in place. I realize a nut could walk right into a local office, which would be a more likely attack, than mailing some toxic agent. Well, I believe our representative's offices are at the federal building, so you would have to go through metal detectors first. But, that's here in Louisville. I know the offices out in the middle of nowhere are probably in strip malls.

Maybe you should write your local representative about your stellar idea.

This article in the New Yorker on the Saudi Marathon Man makes some good points.
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/04/the-saudi-marathon-man.html
-
From The New Yorker article: “If you want to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil—that’s it. Selflessly. Compassionately. Unafraid,” President Obama said. That was mostly true on Monday; a terrible day, when an eight-year-old boy was killed, his sister maimed, two others dead, and many more in critical condition. And yet, when there was so much to fear that we were so brave about, there was panic about a wounded man barely out of his teens who needed help. We get so close to all that Obama described. What’s missing? Is it humility?
Just sounds like profiling based on ethnicity or national origin. It's not mysterious at all. Human nature. There are reasons various members of any society profile this way, and obviously in this case it was useless, regrettable, waste of time, painful, objectionable.
Don't see what this has to do with humility. It often involves a lack of respect for the persons civil rights and due process.
So people (cops, cia, fbi, jouralists) who don't respect civil rights and due process in order to pursue their wish to profile. Is it because of arrogance? Ok, I can see that interpretation. But humble pie isn't the remedy for these people.
They need to fucking intelligent enough to deal with INDIVIDUALS, not their preconceived ideas about others.. If they are fully convinced that "Saudis" are a threat to national security, well, so be it. But they need a brain that can hold CONTRADICTORY information in it, at the same time, that this particular saudi may well be an affable college student, not a terrorist.
Looking forward to the doc "The Central Park Five" A lot of people were very well served by that catastrophe of profiling... Police, scared citizens, journalists. Bunch of freaking imbeciles.
I feel the "fear of the other" is growing growing growing everywhere these days.
Obama's re-election could have been the opportunity for those who fear him, based on their profiling, to eat crow. Well that didn't happen, did it.
Idiots double down, and get even more arrogant, if you wish.

Been following it since about 11:30 on reddit and
http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon
Local news and tweets/videos/facebook updates are totally scooping all the major news outlets.
-
Yeah, I saw it a couple of hours ago but at that time it seemed like it might not be connected. Seems like a second guy might be in custody now.
-
For all the fumbling and bumbling in the past, it might appear that reddit has really been on top of this situation. People have been filming the firefights (in portrait mode!) and linking to police scanners and local news coverage. I was just reading a post from a guy whose TV was shot out, and saw a photo of a bullet hole in a wall that pierces a calendar and a chair in front of a computer.
If it's not connected with the Marathon bombing, it's beyond coincidence. The suspects were, at one point, in a car chase throwing bombs outside the window at the police.
Its been like something out of an 80s action movie, only real people are dying.
-
No, it's definitely connected. I wrote that two hours ago when I first read of things going on at MIT it didn't seem to be for sure if that was so.
Also, those two names being tossed around on line of the suspects that were taken from the police scanner seems to indicate one suspect is from Bryn Mawr, PA... 12 miles from me. *sigh* (the student that "disappeared" from Brown Univ. a month ago)
-
Just saw a blog post titled Marathon bomber an Ivy Leaguer, radical leftist (http://www.bob-owens.com/2013/04/marathon-bomber-an-ivy-leaguer-radical-leftist/)... expect more of this ::)
Oh, and it's Obama's fault.

Latest news:

The family of Sunil Tripathi, the missing Brown student who Reddit believed was one of the suspects, has taken down the Facebook page dedicated to find him. Here is a cached version of it.

He could be holed up in a Watertown home right now, in custody, or dead.
Somewhere, in my apartment, I still have my Andrew Cunanan WANTED poster from when the guy who killed Gianni Versace, among others, then fled to Atlanta.
I feel a bit ghoulish following this, but am fascinated at all the witnesses, their connection to the world via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and the local stuff.
-
So I wake up with NBC News on air with a special report. Where did you guys leave off? I'm hearing one suspect has been killed and the second still at large. So, they robbed a 7/11? They took the one into custody, but he died at the hospital. An the MIT officer was killed by the suspects. They took someone hostage, but amazingly did not hurt that guy.
Up to speed as of 5am?
Edit: NBC reporting FBI saying neither suspect is the missing Brown student. And, they weren't closing in on them. Apparently, posting their pics publicly yesterday caused them to panic and actually do themselves in.
-
NBC's Lester Holt, Pete Williams and Michael Isikoff report that the bombing suspects have international ties and have been in the U.S. for at least a year.

I worried about a tie to Iran's govt. That would not be good. They are shutting down all mass transit. I hope someone doesn't let their dog out or disobey orders to stay in. This suspect would want to take someone hostage, if he's cornered.

Dzokhar's best friend says he is a "sweet angel" and doesnt know how he could do this. Dzokhars previous wrestling coach says "sweet kid", no way could he ever do this.
When "angels" go bad.

CNN just mentioned that police believe that Dzhokhar has a laptop and is sending out messages on social media threatening. Something else on line that I am following linked to this "new" twitter account that was set up in the last three hours. Seems it's what they're referring to, plus the police requested a Russian translator and at least one tweet is in Russian, the rest in English.
https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_A
... and the only twitter account he is following is the Boston Police Department
There's another account "@Dzhokhar_" this is fake

eww -- I just saw an alleged extremely graphic photo of the corpse of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. You won't be seeing that on CNN.
edit: TMZ says their sources say it's 100% authentic but won't link to it (http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/19/tamerlan-tsarnaev-death-photo-surfaces-boston-marathon-bomber/) and I guess I shouldn't link to it here either, but I saved it to my hard drive 8)

On Wednesday, he retweeted a post from self-proclaimed "Muslim scholar" Mufti Ismail Menk, "Attitude can take away your beauty no matter how good looking you are or it could enhance your beauty, making you adorable."
And the pics of him looking soft and sweet and like a young Bob Dylan really...
Its creeping me out.
Also the live news commentaries on the crowds cheering the police officers. I thought the cheers were moving but the newspeople were spewing really atrocious boiler plate, schmaltz.
Euro news does this thing "no comment" where its just news video and you can just watch it and take a moment to digest what's happening, connect a little bit with the situation, place, people, and make up your own mind...

That guy lay bleeding in that boat for how long, then the boat was riddled with gunfire, and then it seems he tried to off himself by sticking a gun in his mouth, and the bullet ripped through his throat. And THEN ? he climbed out of the boat?

Someone sent me a victim pic, blindly. The man is in a wheel chair. Some people are holding tourniquets around both legs. The meat is gone, but bone is still there. I thought the Kevin Ware/Louisville injury was gruesome. This made me nauseous. His skin looks gray, almost like someone dressed in zombie makeup.
This same man is being used by conspiracy theorists. They claim he was already an amputee from the war. It made no fucking sense. How do they explain the bones sticking out. Amputees have those removed. Geez.
-
Interesting, most bios and testimonies say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was very smart in H.S.
But he failed most of his first year college courses.
Why did they come up with such a lame-brained plan? Or lack thereof.

Boston Marathon suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev investigated in 2011 slayings (http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/boston-marathon-suspect-homicide-investigation-90459.html)
If this were to pan out it seems Tamerlan was just plain psycho -- three murders two years ago? This would be before the timeline of his sudden "religious radicalization" I think, not to mention it might be drug related.
-
And Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a pothead by all accounts.
But zealot brother was publicly no drugs or alcohol. But why not, a dealer. Or maybe he was pissed off at his friends' dealing and decadence.
Will be interesting to discover how those two supported themselves, plus Tamerlan's wife and kid, and bought all the weapons to boot.. Dzhokhar had no job prospects. Dad was a car mechanic in the USA, but is supposedly a lawyer, and the family is supposed to be exiled Chechnyan intelligentsia... To use rather antiquated vocabulary. Mom was a living room cosmetologist, Lord & Taylor shoplifter, and 9/11 truther.

Interesting point of view about how we react to terrorism vs gun violence. MSNBC host, Chris Hayes used a graphic to show we've had 900,000 gun deaths vs 3,000 terror deaths, since 1980. Of course, not all gun deaths are murders. In fact, I remember a recent study saying half of gun deaths were suicides.

I was listening to NPR today and they were interviewing a retired Boston cop , he thinks that there may be a need to look at how and on what authority the Boston police department took over 20 blocks of homes and searched each one without warrants .
It does have implications when you do things like this and when defendants go on trial .

If I read the article correctly it sounds like he was missing and probably dead long before the Boston Bombing. Sounds like you are saying he was photographed in Boston at the Marathon....??

OK I answered my own question. He was never in Boston. Never near the bomb. It was all speculation by online sleuthers...

I questioned this too, (I think MissP called me Rand Paul). I couldnt believe they were going through so many houses without warrants...and what would happen if a resident refused entry. OR what would happen if the polic saw a bag of cocaine on the table during one of the searches. But I read later that the searches were really only "voluntary", and that a resident could in fact refuse it. Although I dont think anyone did of course.

There was no "marshal law". The shelter in place request was voluntary - you could see folks walking about Boston on TV throughout. At least outside the crime scenes on Boyleston St. And in areas of Watertown..
The residents of greater Boston, were happy to help out, and allow the police to capture the bad guys. Monday morning quarterbacking from1,000 miles away seems a bit unnecessary. Everyone I have spoken with from the area are filled with praise for law enforcement.

Wasn't there a recent court case about letting police into your home without a warrant and the police finding something illegal??? I suppose I will have to google it. I remember some case like that.

Well -- once I hear a complaint from one of the citizens involved, vs. an arm chair monday morning quarterback, I'll start to give this a little thought. Millions and millions of people were watching the whole thing unfold -- including, I would guess, folks from orgs. like the Civil Liberties Union -- if there were any legal questions, I think they would have made front page news everywhere. There will always be some folks with axes to grind against the gov't who will see evil no matter what it does.
I wonder if this self-reported "retired' Boston cop is, at all related to the suspects mother?? You know this was all a set-up by the gov't.

In contrast, I think there will be a lot of discussion about the lockdown, when people have time to discuss it cooly. Think longish, intellectual articles. The discussion is hardly limited to legal or constitutional issues.
Its a startling new development in the US's "war on terror". Other countries have not, to date, responded in this way. Theres been some media chatter already comparing the lockdown to how Israel, France, and English have dealt with terror.
Here's an article about the French way, from a year ago:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/sunday-review/the-french-way-of-fighting-homegrown-terrorism.html?pagewanted=all
I've heard arguments that the Israeli's will examine the crime scene, clean up the blood, and go back to normal quickly, and without excessive drama in the response. There are those who say, perhaps the US can sometimes overreact to terrorism, which, they argue, feeds the terrorist troll - who's objective is to provoke mayhem and reaction.
These two trolls got a LOT of bang for their acts.
-
On the other hand, if I had been in Boston I would have appreciated the city officially giving me leave to stay at home, and keep my kids at home. If there are mysterious deadly maniacs running around, its only human.
Also, it is a combination of citizen observation and massive police attention, that found Jahar. If the lockdown had stayed in effect, the homeowner wouldn't have found him, and he may well have died in the boat. No answers. Or rallied and gone on a rampage. But, the police were close already, and could move quickly I suppose in part because of the freed up public space...
-
Does anyone else not believe the story the Government is feeding us in regards to how this incident took place from start to finish?
-
I suppose I'm in the minority because I applaud people like that cop in Boston who said what a great job the police dept did but also raised some questions .
I wish people would have asked questions of the Bush administration before he sent us to a war in Iraq and I hope with all my heart we begin to ask questions about the Drone program .
And Remy ... From what I see so far the government inst or shouldn't be on trial here , this was the acts of two really fucked up young men , period .
-
I think that's healthy skepticism, Remy. As long as it does not veer off into loony conspiracies. One of reasons the story isn't cohesive is that the story isn't known yet, so there simply a lot of speculation by police, government, FBI, the media, and the blogosphere.
For example - a one hour shoot out was reported to get Jahar. There was the dramatic "artists rendering" of him shooting out of the boat. Hundred of bullets fired his way. Now its reported, he was unarmed. So, the story is incomplete.
Every citizen needs some critical skills as to public information - media, government, etc.
Remember the bogus Jessica Lynch heroic story.

You nalled it. What is remarkable is the ever increasing inability of the US and Americans to consider nuanced reasoning, where seemingly contradictory observations may have value. People seem to want black and white binaries... I believe Senators are fleeing government because of this..
-
Actually, I take that back.
I guess most cultures are filled with people who like the black and white answers. Obviously its not just Americans.
Maybe its that these decades, Americans are asking A LOT of questions, and facing some stark challenges (and not always badly... ::)) so its part of the process that people grumble about the lack of clear answers, and pine for them.

Yes Farrakhan sniffed that out years ago and he's STILL going on about it.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/04/farrakhan-accuses-u-s-govt-of-plot-to-kill-billions-using-eugenics-planned-parenthood-and-the-aids-virus-it-was-concentrated-in-the-black-community/
________
“Under Kissinger a plan was hatched that two to three billion people on our planet would have to be [killed],” Farrakhan proclaimed in his weekly address. ”But the people that Kissinger — and the U.S. government agreed with Mr. Kissinger — these people who would be killed would be in the Third World. But since this culling has many third world people in industrialized countries, in would start as well in the industrialized countries.”
From there, Farrakhan became more specific, asking some odd questions and waging pointed accusations at the U.S. government:
“Could this be why, in Africa, AIDS is slaughtering black men and women by the tens of thousands, particularly in those areas where the mineral resources of that area is necessary to keep America in power in this 21st century? Could it be that this is why black women in America are said to be the number one carrier of the [AIDS] virus? Could this be that 30 years ago when the birthrate of blacks was outstripping the birthrate of whites — so much so that demographers said by 2050 blacks would either be equal to the population of whites or greater than their population — and they didn’t stand still on those figures? They went to work with eugenics and Planned Parenthood and pills that aborted children. And it was concentrated in the black community. At that time, the Hispanics were not the ones that were the majority of the minority populations. It was the blacks.”

I think the US government invented AIDS and spread it around the world on purpose.
I believe that wholeheartedly. They also flooded the inner cities with crack cocaine so that Black and Latino minorities could be destroyed.

And now the news are saying that the mother of these guys had been added to a guvmint terror database 18 moths ago. What the heck's going on with this story?

I knew a guy who was a medic during the Vietnam conflict who claimed that the CIA were stuffing body bags headed back to the US with Asian heroin - to flood the inner cities with heroin so that Black and Latino communities could be destroyed. (RIP Buddy)

How very sad that less than 2 weeks after the bombings, this thread has turned into a strike on the gov't and law enforcement, rather than the bombers or remembering the victims.
I suppose we would we talking about the inept gov't if they hadn't caught them. Either way some folks here would be putting on their tinfoil and calling it "nuanced thinking".

I think people can remember and honor the victims of this tragedy and still voice skepticism of our government. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Im all for flag waving just as long as it doesn't distract us from where we are going .

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) says that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the Obama administration and frankly I must agree! Between that and the fact that al Queda has set up camps with the drug cartels in Mexico I'm simply beside myself.

You read it here first folks Miss P has split in half and is now two Miss P's . That could be more dangerous than al Queda .

After the war, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) took unwanted dangerous Serbs (including POWs and recent kidnaps) to a Yellow House harvested their organs, killed them and sold the organs on the black market. So I'm remembering the Symbionese Liberation Army and Patty Hearst and "homegrown" terrorism of the 60's and 70's.
I fully agree that Al Qaeda is implicated in organ harvesting and has a sleeper program to produce sleeper agents, Americanized children who will become doctors and nurses in America and use American bodies for their true value - meat.... First, organ harvesting, hush hush, but eventually the master plan is revealed. Al Qaeda will be secretly in charge of the medical/defense conglomerate that has the contract for organ harvesting in American prisons. (A venture capital investment by Mid-East monarchies, cause they know Peak Oil is true and they will need revenue.) Johar switched his major to Nursing, recently..

I feel sorry for anyone who tries to harvest my organs , mine probably look like the organ grinder has had his way with me .

Republican Everett Dutschke was just arrested (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mississippi-man-suspected-in-ricin-case-has-been-arrested-fbi-says/2013/04/27/e5954196-af50-11e2-8bf6-e70cb6ae066e_story.html?hpid=z1) today by the FBI in connection with those ricin letters.

I tried to concentrate when I watched the innocent Paul Kevin Curtis's celebratory press conference but it was so odd -- it was like Robert Preston in Music Man odd. http://www.thedailybeast.com/videos/2013/04/23/freed-ricin-suspect-offers-lawyer-footrub.html
So a bitter freud about Mensa between the two gents, turns one of them into a homicidal maniac.

The NYTimes had articles on each brother yesterday. Not very interesting. A better and shorter one was in Gawker about the father's history and speculations on the father-son dynamics.
As I picked up in one report a few days ago, dad was indeed a lawyer. In fact he was a prosecutor for the Russians, so hated by his countrymen, but then the country was on-again off-again...
His sister was married to an American CIA guy's daughter. Coincidence, it seems.
http://gawker.com/ex-cia-agent-denies-rumors-of-ties-to-ruslan-tsarnaev-483787629
The Times report gave a hint at the true miserable life course of the dad, as he was repairing cars in Boston in an unheated space (actually, right outside??), off licence. (I remember immigrant operations like that in the South End in Bridgeport. My uncle told me half the parts are stolen...) Ironically the family was finally safe, but it was not successful exile for the mom, dad, and the older brother. So I guess the uncle was spot on explaining the why simply as them being losers.

I thought the most intriguing end of week "reporting" wasn't about the criminals and their family. It was just part of a joke by Bill Maher - they were talking about the "police state" and the "military state" and he showed pictures of the Boston Police, their gear, and their vehicles. It was the scariest swat team equipment you'd ever seen. It looked straight out of your worst dystopian nightmare - and completely military. I wondered if the stuff was from National Security and elsewhere, and if perhaps they just stuck "Boston Police" stickers on it for this operation. Chilling..

Sounds like someone is going to be locked up for a long time (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/04/damning-evidence-against-ricin-suspect-dutschke.html).

I like the related story headline ..... New Ricin Suspect Weirder Than Old Ricin Suspect . That just about says it all .

The AP is reporting 3 more arrest have been made in the Boston Bombing case .

And that people don't want the dead brother buried in the USA.

The paper spoke to one girl who said she planned to get one of Dzhokhar's tweets -- "If you have the knowledge and the inspiration, all that’s left is to take action" -- tattooed on her upper arm.
Another girl -- who tweeted last month "Yes i like Justin Bieber and i like Jahar but that has nothing to do with why i support him. I know hes innocent, he is far too beautiful" -- told the paper she feels "like he’s my brother."

Re---- FBI and Ricin suspect

one off the more improbable collection off words although thinking about it what a pitch for a film.

Just read this in NY Times. I've read reports about the FBI (not online), and I have to admit, I'm suspicious of their actions. While I'm sure their job is tough I'm not convinced they're totally ethical.

3 different law enforcement groups interviewing a suspect known to be dangerous, and who just admitted a triple murder, and yet he had a knife?
Its not very clear where this interrogation was taking place? Wouldn't he have been searched for weapons???
So we have a confession, but its not signed, and he's dead now. Confession further indicts the older brother as an evil doer. I don't know, but I do wonder, who benefits from this development?
This whole story is filled with surprises.
Conspiracy theories aside, the chechnyan hoods do seem like an especially fucked up pathological lot.

As I suspected, the guy was unarmed.... Not that anyone seems to be following this story anymore.
I don't really believe in conspiracies... Its surely just the disappointing reality that police work is human, iffy, mistake prone.

Still, don't understand how they riddled that boat with what sounded like 1000s of shots. And the brother was unarmed. And why was it weeks before the news about the confession scrawled on the walls of the boat?
