Suspect ARRESTED... this is breaking fast.

Dixie said:
Again.... IF we could go back in time, and IF we had captured a terrorist in a foreign country, and IF we knew they had information regarding some kind of upcoming terror attack... would it not be worth waterboarding, if it prevented the tragedy in Boston? A simple yes or no will do.

When it comes to preventing terrorist attacks which kill and injure many people, I am very much an 'ends justifies means' kind of guy, I am sorry if that offends you. I don't consider waterboarding "torture" because it is "interrogation" and I don't believe it should ever be used by local law enforcement on US soil and US citizens, or as a form of punishment for any crime.

this is how I know you only give lip service in support of the constitution.

Yes, but this is separate from that. I mean that we all know this is was a man. We know nothing else, but we know this. And it will turn out that we were right. It's a man.

There is a high probability it is a man, but there is no guarantee. People like Kathy Boudin, Judith Bissell, and Jane Alpert exist. Women kill, some even use bombs, like the aforementioned Judith and Jane.

The reality is, yes, it is very likely to have been a man but assuming that we "know" this is just as foolish as hoping "he's" white.

I really don't know what to make of a lot of what you post.

One thing has zero to do with the other, and no, it's not.
 
It's a good thing I spent my afternoon drinking blood orange martinis with a gorgeous, funny, man, because this board could really make you dislike them. I often have to leave here to check in with men around me so that I shake off my unpleasant feelings.

Just my opinion. If I am permitted that. Thanks!

It wasn't a comparison of things that are the "same" or "have something to do with each other"... It was a simple analogy of something foolish somebody "hoped" and something some claim to "know". Both are foolish and about this particular attack, those are the only connections.

My point was, no... we don't "know" that it was a man, you have simply judged what we "know" based on a quirk of language where we use a generic "he" when we don't know an identity.

No idea what you're babbling about, so what is it the kids say? Cool story bro?

So anyway, yep, definitely a man (men).

Way back, President Obama's good friend, Professor Bill Ayers's fellow Weatherman girlfriend blew herself up making a bomb, so women can be dastardly at times.
 
Yeah sometimes a woman meets a man, thinks, hey that's a nice piece of ass, and then ff five years she realizes if she has to hear one more minute of some effing mansplaining she will kill herself so she waits till he goes to sleep and cuts his penis off.

So anyway, I wonder when we will find out which man (men) bombed Boston?

Boy...I'll tell you....you guys are a bunch of baby ducks. I hopped on the USMB this morning and they were blathering on about the same damned thing....so who got all you duckies in a row this time? Which right wing talking head brought you guys to a lather over shit that happened 50 years ago?

I have my money on Limbaugh.
 
It looks like I am going to end up having been wrong about this being a domestic incident. That is very bad. I saw Damo, who is mostly a right wing reactionary fool these days, blather on about how it was foolish to hope it was a white guy. The thing is, you reactionaries see things very simplistically. You think "the left" is hoping for that so we can "Take your guns" and demonize right wing militias and whatever else you freaks think. I don't speak for "the left", I am just Darla, and that is such horseshit. Those thoughts never crossed my mind. And who is responsible is a seperate issue from the bombings themselves. Nothing will ever erase the pain I feel in my heart when I picture a little 8 yo boy, probably very much like my nephew, who excitedly ran to greet his father when he crossed the finish line, and then got exploded. To think that anyone would believe that I would be sitting around thinking, oh I hope we can get the white dudes for this and take their guns, just really shows the poison in your own heart.

It cannot be denied that when it is domestic, they get the guy who did it, and we execute him. And then that is that. This looks like it's going to be international, and that means a complete national freak out. That means that Muslims, and anyone who looks Musllim to people who don't know shit from shineola, will face anger, and some will experience violence. That means that our government will start making new laws ala the patriot act. That means screams for "justice" by way of bombing another country, nearly any country will do, will begin. That means that children will need to be burned to death so that we can feel better about this. I dread this. I dread all of this.

Well it turns out that it was Chechen terrorist. WTF? What did we ever do to Chechnya?

Who knows. I was watching television this morning and they were already speculating on whether or not some nation is actually involved. It's freaking crazy. It was also reported that the dead guy had on some social media profile that he didn't have even one american friend and doesn't understand us. I don't know if that's true.

Not Chechen terrorists. They lived in the Boston area for years. The younger brother went to high school here.

Also, too, apparently they have him surrounded. Watching on TV.

I stand corrected. They are Chechyn immigrants. Still a lot to learn about how and why they did what they did.
