They also violate the Constitution, putting the word out that this country is a big fat hypocrite when it comes to adhering to its own rule of law. I suggest that since you are vocally in favor of protecting part of the Constitution, you should be in favor of protecting all of it.

Military tribunals legitimise criminals and turns their acts of criminality into acts of war. By doing so you raise their cause to a level it does not deserve. Murder is a criminal act and these people are criminals. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I'll take some of your drugs for sure. The older brother was out of the country for 6 months last year. You're deluded if you believe this is not part of jihad... Again thats speculation on your part, for all you know this was about Chechen separatism or Maralyn Manson fan club, who the hell knows? At this point no one apart from the bombers.

Maybe you haven't heard about what the Russians did to the Chechen civilians. It was a horror show. http://www.christusrex.org/www1/icons/russ-atrocities.html What the Russians did in Chechnya was nothing short of genocide. Treat people as inhuman and that is what they will become. hence my statement in another thread human nature has remained unchanged over the 200 years (or 2 millenia)... so-called 'civilization' is nowhere near as ingrained around the world as liberals like to think it is.

One of the links from aphid's column leads to another young canadian boxer killed in russia as a jihadist and tells how he went from converting to islam to joining the movement to dead in just over a year. All these people saying they don't believe it just hadn't seen him in a while. One of the traits is that converts withdraw from previous relationships as they surround themselves with similar jihadist followers and orthodoxy... What makes you so sure about this person you never met? How do you know that the people who knew them hadn't seen them for years? Maybe the news in the USA is playing different stories to those outside of the USA.

Criminal, why legitimise murder in any way shape or form? There is evidence gathering opportunity and a framework for prosecuting murderers. America is in the spotlight and it will be interesting to see if the US Government is feeling secure enough to classify this man as the criminal he may well prove to be.

When somebody who has military experience, lots and lots of guns, and a pathological obsession with discussing gun politics with extreme stridency acts out his anger at being expelled from an online forum by creating repeatedly sock puppets, spoofing the names of real people, some of whom are now deceased, and using them to issue veiled threats. I'd say: yeah, that person has tipped. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

First 'Hero' now 'terrorist' I think it might be changing its meaning, maybe its time to redefine exactly what a terrorist is in this century post 9/11. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

In which case are these two Boston guys Terrorists? After all no one knows why they did it, were they Chechen separatists? Islamist terrorists or just had it in mind to create a bomb and devastation for the hell of it? No one knows and without knowing they can't coerce people into doing what they want because they haven't told us what they want. Therefore until we know are they not just criminals? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Well looking at the definition you posted they fail on point one because no one knows why they did it or what for so therefore no coercion can be effected. Point three (I'll come back to point two) in this case does not apply as it was not a government target in any shap or form. Point two however does apply, as Boston and across America to some extent a state of fear existed after the bomb went off, but the interesting thing is that the submission has occurred due to a lockdown of Boston itself, declared by the authorities, which begs the question that if life had gone on as normal would the impact of their actions as terrorists not be greatly reduced? A city in lockdown for a 17 year old on the run seems like a serious overkill especially as they still haven't caught him. Really is he anymore dangerous than a 17 year old gang banger common criminal? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I'd assume their motivation was due to a misapplication or fanatical view of their faith. Based on newscasts I've seen. Faith doesn't have a nationality, so I'm assuming that isn't a substantial tie-in other than how it affected them in their formative years to gravitate to extremism later in life. Maybe but there again maybe they had no more reason than a school shooter... Maybe it was just for shit and giggles.

I'm not talking about the old 'One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter' line here. It used to be that terrorists belonged to a group of some kind, were organised and trained. In today's information age its easy to obtain information to make IEDs, to conduct recconosance via satellite imagery, obtain weapons. Individuals can for any number of reasons take to detonating devices, hijacking aircraft etc.. But are they terrorists or simply criminals? What is the difference between two kids living in America who for no apparent reason make a couple of bombs and blow away innocents and two kids living in the USA who go into a school and blow away a load of innocents with firearms? Is the type of weapon important in the distinction? The cause? What if there is no cause? The two suspects in the Boston bomb may have been Muslim but no more so than your average Christian is a Christian by the sounds of it. They went to parties and danced, had girlfriends, were described as leading a secular lifestyle. This wasn't a ploy their entire families and friends have attested to thier way of life and beliefs. In fact the weird thing about this is that everyone seemed to have nothing but good to say of them. So if they didn't do this for Chechnya or for religion are they still terrorists or just murderers using a bomb? In todays world what differentiates a criminal mass murder and a terrorist? and are the school shooters and theatre shooter any less terrorists than these two Boston bomb suspects? What is a Terrorist today? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

To ban small game shooting with .22LR is stupid, however .17HMR may be smaller but is more powerful. If you double the size of a bullet you double the energy but if you double the velocity you quadruple the energy. Look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSIp22uaWrQ Ahhh... Just read you post further down, now I understand why you said its crazy, overkill not bullet size. Yes you are right it will make a mess alright.

Latest: "@mediccat tweeted that the kid was thrown 6ft and suffered cuts to her head an body but was otherwise OK. Underwent a CAT scan but that's all she knows. From her tone she seemed to suggest the kid was going to fine after healing" If those are the facts then its to early to say if the child will be alright or not, blast injuries can destroy lungs in a couple of days which appear normal right after the event.
