Explosions at Boston Marathon

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm surprised they caught/killed/apprehended the guys so quickly.

Is that normal?

Your police aren't that incompetent.

I'm surprised they caught/killed/apprehended the guys so quickly.

Is that normal?

Yes. Especially for alleged cop killers. Police don't fuck around when it comes to people who hurt one of their own.

Yes. He surrendered after a stand off and they hit him with flash bangs.

Sweetness. Hopefully we can get some info out of him.

I agree with Ashmoria on that:

he's 19. the likelihood is that he will tell everything he knows to the first person who says something nice to him.

With such a difference in age between the two brothers, it's pretty obvious which one was the ringleader. Now that guy isn't around ...

Is that normal?

Technically not MY police.

MY police are the Puerto Rican police, and while the American police are far, far, far better, I find it hard to believe they managed to chase leads down that quickly. It's only been a few days.

I didn't know the bombers hurt officers in the bombings.

And yeah, I've heard that. Not that I approve of giving priority or exemptions to the police simply because of the fact they're police...

But I have to admit, the police are under-appreciated as it is.

They were so incompetent in escaping, I don't think they expected to.

Puerto Rico's part of the United States, so I still deem myself right here.

Miranda Rights don't have to be read the moment they slap cuffs on you. That's just an invention of cop dramas. They can do it in the station during questioning.

I think Invarel meant in the context of the bombers being regarded as terrorists.

I don't want to read what's in the link. I just know it'll be stupid.

... Are the bombers going to be tried as terrorists?

How disappointing. You know what we should do? Task the Congress with making movies and cable series, and let Hollywood write the laws.

The article is irrelevant because they don't have to read him his rights yet.

You'd be surprised what the combined man power of all of those agencies together can do.

Surely, we stand on a slippery slope, and soon they'll be using the same exemption on all of us.*

*Sarcasm. A form of humor. Not meant seriously.

It's a rant in favor of caring about Miranda rights. I didn't read it all.

He's in the hospital and in no condition to be interrogated. They'll read him his rights before they question him. If he even lives that long.

I'm surprised NOW. >.<

Now, if only they did that more often, I would actually be impressed and praiseful.

Do you REALLY want to see the movies that would come out of Congress? By the time they finally settled on a script, it would be a horribly long and boring compromise with a number of scenes included that have no bearing on the main plot set in various congressional districts.

the article discusses the public safety exception in the miranda and is, like i said, interesting. it's totally cool if you don't want to read it, but why comment if you haven't?

authorities have announced that they're holding off on reading his rights under the public safety exception. they're planning to interrogate/question him without reading the miranda rights.

Yeah but think of the laws hollywood would pass!

Just the idea of the mandated fake breasts is giving me the vapors.

That would require a few things.

A: Curing American Apathy^tm
B: Having all their cases as public as humanly possible to allow the public to act as their eyes and ears. They have the full capacity to do this, but it's the lack of public help that makes things take more time.

The space program would gain a massive boost in funding. As would environmental regulation. Have you seen The Day After Tomorrow.

[The Cookish States]

What kind of insane terrorist person would do such a thing?!? Forget about a death penalty, just let me 10 minutes alone with this guy. After that let him go to jail (and a therapist) for a few years, maybe 10. That should help change him.

And you? How many years are you willing to spend in jail for the selfish pleasure of taking revenge in person? Two? Five?

The guy in question is a hardened Chechen terrorist. I hate to laud the enemy, but if he was locked in a room with you Utopialand, he would just have another murder to add to his charges.


People keep thinking bad guys are wimps. I mean, "give me ten minutes with Osama" makes me think of said person trying to fight a guy that's nearly 7 foot tall.

We have cops and soldiers for a reason, guys, you aren't Rambo.
