Let's limit it to the savages in arms, okay?

Actually I would advocate to make it future law that the male relatives of savages who perpetrate attacks such as the Boston bombings are also put to death, or at least prevented from reproducing the alleles of the savage that they are presumably have; not applicable to the relatives of the current perpetrators of course.

Looking at Watertown, it strikes me that, once again, a couple of guys have brought a city to its knees, though with fewer casualties this time.

Is there no better way to deal with this than to lock down everything and call in every gun around?

The cost of lost business alone must be immense, providing incentive for such attacks.

IWYW,

The alternatives really were not much better. The authorities know he had bombs and at least one gun. Do you let the mall open so he can blow himself up in the food court at lunch time? Or does he do it on the subway at rush hour? Maybe he's got aticket for the Red Sox or Bruins tonight...

Mm. On the other hand this does provide hundreds of millions of people with a lengthy amusement 'reality' show, and that is worth a lot of money as well. Though in my opinion the 9/11 show and even that OJ Simpson guy suspected from murdering his wife, driving on the freeway and trailed by colonnes of police cars were better television.

Your remarks regards 9/11 could only come from a fuckwit such as yourself, considering the thread topic..

Come on Aswad. You know better than that.

Please excuse my cynicism but it was a perfect scenario for the modern surveillance State, the one that has trashed so many of our rights in order to protect those rights, to show in real time just how it is all for our own good ......

Was any one else astonished at the speed with which a major American city was militarized and turned into a virtual battleground populated only by armed units of the State ? It's not like these are the first two "armed and dangerous" thugs US Authorities have had to face.

Some people here have expressed concern at the purchase of APCs by Homeland Security. I am beginning to see what they are worried about.

so they were just common armed & dangerous thugs wit no prospect of creating another disaster area & tha state was just doing it for a pr exercise in militaristic control of civil areas?

yeah... that.

I'd rather have my freedom. I'd rather have a constitution with rights that both parties honor. I can live with the occasional nutjob doing something bad. I can't live with a police state... especially not one armed with modern tools of surveillance which make Orwell's nightmare seem like a children's story.

what specific rights were breached by tha search for tha suspects & if there were violations how do they contribute to yr fears tha US is becoming a police state?

Where were all these badass armed manly self sufficient Americans locally while all of this was going on, anyway?

If you're not joking, then welcome to my thoughts circa 2001, and enjoy the bumpy ride ahead. It's mostly downhill.

I wonder what the gun laws are like in Massachusetts; it's one of the more liberal states...

Also, even us gun-toting manly men are law abiding, and not wanting to get in the pros way.
