So, I guess you have to have a license to have a gun in Massachusetts, but the two loser brothers who did the Boston Marathon bombing did not have a license for the guns they used on their shootout with cops. They were running around shooting at people with guns that Massachusetts very clearly said was illegal for them to have. It’s like, come on, guys we’re a nation of laws; if you’re going to be murderous criminals, at least legally posses your guns first, you know. What’s wrong with you.
So anyway, I wonder what the government is going to do with the two brothers? Charge them on not having a firearm license, I’m guessing — which I assume means a heavy fine — and probably also question them. They didn’t read the two brothers their Miranda rights, though — they didn’t to one, because he’s dead and he’s going to remain silent whether he has a right to or not. But they didn’t to the other because… I don’t really get that. If Miranda rights are a right, then you always have them whether someone reads them to you or not. I mean, if you beat the guy with a phonebook to get him to talk, I’m pretty sure that’s inadmissible whether you read him the Miranda rights or not. But they have plenty of evidence on the surviving loser so they don’t really need his confession anyway. So get a phonebook and whack away.
Oh man, I was just thinking how phonebooks are falling out of usage now. How in the future are we going to get suspects to talk?
Anyway, of concern is how much the brothers’ Muslim-ness is involved in the attack. I guess it’s possible for someone to be a Muslim and bomb people for a completely different reason than their religion, but there does seem to be a blowing stuff up problem in the Muslim community. I mean, it’s a tiny tiny fraction of Muslims who want to blow people — especially in America — but it’s just a much much much larger percentage of people than for any other religion. This problem would be best to be handled from in the Muslim community — like a pamphlet titled “Why Being Muslim Means You Shouldn’t Blow Up People.” Whatever the effort it, they should put that Uncle Ruslan in charge of it. Now there is a Muslim who does not put up with that nonsense.
And really, if you can’t be Muslim and not blow people up, then I think you should lose your being Muslim privilege. You’ll have to find a different religion.
How in the future are we going to get suspects to talk? May I suggest the tried and true…rubber hose?

Just use a print out of the iTunes Terms of Usage Agreement.
Derka derka Mohammed jihad….?
What other religion options do mad bombers have? I don’t even think the Church of Satan would put up with that nonsense.
Maybe some ancient religion, before people got all civilized?
Followers of Ra, Amun, and Isis did some odd stuff, but they never blew people up.
Zoroastrians (that’s ancient Iran, right?) opposed chaos, which conflicts with bombings.
Jainism had a swastika but was peaceful.
What’s a mad bomber to do?
@DamnCat
…or a copy of Obamacare, or the new Amnesty bill.
DamnCat,
I give you cookie for that one.
I just hope they find out which idiot neglected to put of the “Bomb Free Zone” signs in the first place.
Anyone who’s ever watched TV knows what their “rights” are, what is this obsession they have with reading them? They know all about their “right” to welfare and section 8 housing, I bet nobody ever had to read them that one.
Just so people know, marshal law was great, there was like…no traffic and no lines at the bank or supermarket since they were both closed. 5 or 6 miles away seems like a safe perimeter…you never know.
Marshal Law? Is that the new show featuring the characters Mary Shannon and Arnie Becker?
I was going to suggest beating suspects with a printed-out copy of Obamacare, but I see someone already beat me to it. Curse my poor timing!
Humbly offered for future reference:
Martial, adj., …3. of the army, navy, or military life.
Martial Law, temporary rule by military authorities over the civilian populace, as in an area of military operations in time of war, or when civil authority has broken down.
Frank, if you give a cat a cookie, he will want some milk. If you give a cat some milk, he will develop a taste for human blolod. If he develops a taste for human blood he will turn into a vampire. If he turns into a vampire then he will have to make some followers. If he makes some followers, They will have to feed. Then the whole world will be in Chaos. Thats why we had to do Frank, He was going to give the cat a cookie.
I get Cookie? The Burmese that lives down the block? [purrrrr]
I had to change out my busted garbage disposal under the kitchen sink last week. I was reading some Howto’s on the web and one said to stack phonebooks up to support the weight of the disposal. I Lol’d and was like, “whats these phone books you speak of??”
Thanks to Uncle Ruslan, the stereotype that all Chechens use AOL will be perpetuated. Just as damaging to the ethnicity.
come to think of it, I don’t think they had valid bomb-making licenses either. Boy, they’re REALLY going to be in trouble!
marshal,martial, whatever. I have PTSD, I demand compensation!
Not only do Chechens love them some AOL, and are all hot about the Netscape browser but they’re really blowing up that MySpace thing. They also really seem to be into Pong played on a black and white TV set and eight-track tapes.
18: if you have ptsd and demand compensation they have the right (according to them) and will take all your guns
