Terror at Boston Marathon Finish Line; Several Dead

Not Bill Walton>all cable news media.

completely agree...

So they have him but it sounds like he is going to be put through our civilian court system. That is an interesting call considering everyone has been calling this an act of terror not a domestic crime.

AFTER we get him to tell us everything he knows. Actually death is too good for him. He needs to rot away his entire life in a cell and be some thug or thugs' butt buddy. But first, he should have to have a couple limbs amputated like many of his victims.

I find this appropriate after last night's events in Boston.

Just read that the neck wound he has is actually an exit wound. Speculation is that he put a gun in his mouth and tried to end it. He probably was thinking about the butt buddy thing.

Or maybe he was trying to stop seeing Tyler Durden.

Here is something from across the pond. I generally like what he has to say.

Are you serious? Does he generally espouse the same opinion that he shares in this piece?

Gee, I never really considered the strategic attacks of our military on known terrorists and killers to be terrorism itself. Maybe because it's ridiculous to think that. I don't remember any reports of our military using homemade pressure cooker bombs to kill and mame random citizens on a sidewalk, much less with no known strategic target on said sidewalk.

We do use drones. How many have died in Iraq that had nothing to do with aiming a gun or weapon or really in any way doing anything except living in Iraq that died? Same for Afghanistan. That is just two countries.

The three (and I would think it will be higher soon given pics and reports I have read) did not deserve to die in Boston. You don't think some of our actions as a country have not done the same in other countries, and I am thinking just in the last decade.

I think their point is that we're not targeting the innocent. But yes, there have been civilians who've suffered from our attacks. Unfortunately, our targets tend to surround themselves with those they know we're trying to avoid striking.

I am not so sure we can say that we are not targeting innocents given the numbers of innocent death is what it is. It is much more than a few here or there. And even if the ones we are going after (justified or not) are surrounding themselves with innocent people and we still decide to go after out targets KNOWING it will kill innocent people, then we have killed innocent people. Calling it "collateral damage" doesn't make it any less tragic if you are on the side of the deaths and the anger I doubt would be any less. The mere fact we have that euphemism should tell us maybe the very action is not moral and worthy.

Must have been all those innocent people killed by US drone strikes in Chechnya that prompted this evil from these two nut cases.

No, but the fringe Muslims do seem to feed off things international that tends to affect Muslim majority countries. It is not the US's fault the Russians have done to Chechnya what has been done there, but that might have been an excuse the older brother needed. Not fair to use of course.

We need to have our actions governed by what is right and wrong. There are things that are wrong that we do that make others mad. We should not do those things. There are things we do that are right that makes others mad. We should continue to do those things. What we do as a country need not be filtered through the desires of other countries as long as what we do is morally right. Killing innocent people is wrong. Period. We should not be doing that. Period. If you think we are not doing that in large numbers and have never done that in many other places around the world you are extremely naive about all our operations around the world.

We do have a lot of surrogates that do our bidding for us, so it is not an American always pulling the trigger. Central America comes to mind in this case, and how the School of Americas has operated.
