Gunshots at MIT

[mtangelsfan]

The weirdest thing about that is how many shots were fired by the cops and the kid isn't dead.

[arch stanton]

It's hard to question them for shooting in that situation since they were acting under the assumption that he may be carrying more explosives.

 Vice President Biden eulogized Sean Collier, the slain Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, and denounced Tsarnaev and his dead brother as “two twisted, perverted, cowardly knockoff jihadis.”

 

 

Just a heartbeat from the presidency.

 

Turns out the terror suspect was unarmed when he was captured in that boat.

That boat must be built like a truck.

Joe's just trying to deflect attention from the genuine jihadi, the guy he works for.  Nice try, Joe.

 

If I ever change my screen name again I might go with "genuine_jihadi."

So like every other story to come out of this, the police using restraint to capture and not kill him was premature.

Suspect is finally read his rights, and immediately stops talking.

What were you expecting?

 

The law is the law.

[gotbeer]

Interesting.  Imagine if he got off because of it.

The brothers were planning a trip to New York City to set off their remaining bombs there, according to law enforcement sources. Mayor Bloomberg has scheduled a news conference this afternoon.

Interesting.  Imagine if he got off because of it.

Why would he? 

[Lhalo]

Why would he? 

I think he meant that if somehow testimony from the FBI interview was not allowed in court and as a result the bomber was not found guilty. Stranger things have happened in our justice system.

Ya, I know what he meant. The point is, they don't need his testimony to make a case against him and, the questioning allowed when under the exception is narrow and limited.

Times Square was the intended target. A pressure cooker and five pipe bombs.

There are reports of some 220 rounds fired at the boat. 

 

Cops need to hit the target range more often.

Hold on a sec..... hasn't Michelle Obama been to Times Square before?

 

Hmmmm.

I had no idea that Nissan made boats.

[RallyMo]

Hold on a sec..... hasn't Michelle Obama been to Times Square before?

 

Hmmmm.

 

...and Michael Bloomberg has more than likely been to the White House before.

 

It's all coming together now.

[nate]

...and Michael Bloomberg has more than likely been to the White House before.

 

It's all coming together now.

 

Especially since Obama is a Muslim from Kenya... we are doomed.

Officials: Bomb suspects' mother was on watch list

[Jay]

The mom is a real gem.  She was up on a shoplifting charge or something and bailed back to Russia or whatever. F'n losers.  Yeah, open the borders!!!!!

[arch stanton]

Yeah. we have enough home grown f*in losers, we don't need the rest of the world giving us theirs.

[jshep]

...and Michael Bloomberg has more than likely been to the White House before.

 

It's all coming together now.

 

And Chechnya is in the Caucasus region, which is where "Caucasian" comes from. Caucasian is commonally used in reference to white people.

 

And you know what else is white? The house Obama lives in!

 

Case cracked!
