The second Boston bomber is taken alive...

... and injured.
Two law enforcement officials said that the suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, was found in a boat parked behind a house there....

A police officer at the scene said that the man was covered in blood when he was captured. An ambulance was already there. The Boston Police Department announced on Twitter: “Suspect in custody. Officers sweeping the area.” And Mayor Thomas M. Menino posted, “We got him.”

Its Boston... not Los Angeles or Chicago.

Its why I support McCain and Shumer in Amnesty for illegals and supporting even more immigration. Had there been a million more Muslims in Massachusetts this bombing wouldn't have occurred.

Icepick said...

He should be subject to Federal jurisdiction, so the death penalty is in play. The Obama Administration generally just prefers to blow terrorists (and their families) all to Hell with drones, but they'll probably be forced to actually enforce the law this time, much as it pains them.

No way that will happen.

I like that they will be able to get info but I'm also disappointed that he wasn't killed because the liberal media will probably turn him into a victim and his trial will be a mess and probably a great recruiting tool for the terrorists.

Would you trust your 19 year-old dope-smoking little brother with any "good info"? I think he gets the death penalty because he doesn't have good info.

The elder had the good info.

I read that he will not be mirandized and will be forced to talk under a national security exception. Is that true?

What is that exception and has it ever been held constitional?

Like I said a couple of days ago. If it was an islamic attack you can kiss many of our freedoms good-bye.

If there are more attacks in the near future you can kiss most of our freedoms good-bye.

What else is there to be said. All the police high fives are due to a citizen noticing something not right on his property. It has nothing to do with an entire day of disruption and searching in the wrong place. Oh no! Watching the mayor, the governor, the police chief and now the president crowding in for face time congratulating everyone OTHER than the citizen who actually noticed something wrong.

Poseurs all of them. The ATF strutting in their Koresh immolating togs. The 3 dozen cop cars crouded into the cup due sac. The legions of law enforcement officers tripping over each other. The wounded suspect (who somehow was still able to get outside of the perimeter) but who could not be subdued without additional gunfire.

Outside the perimeter.

Some National Security provision or other that is reauthorized periodically by the congress... the Feds just need to check with a tree judge panel set up to handle these kinds of exceptions.

Wait! Wait! So...I'm confused.

Obama spoke at Al Ahzar. He went there and spoke.

Is anyone here actually trying to suggest that Obama's speech didn't heal the rift between the west and some in Islam?

I can't believe it. I don't believe it.

And as for these two guys in Boston. One of the brothers became an American citizen on September 11.

He had the chance to vote for Obama last election.

It's true that there was a lot of self-congratulations among police and politicians after the DC snipers were captured. I was in DC at the time -- the cops were thoroughly incompetent. But they did not shoot any innocents, so they're one up on the LA cops.

I know Mass. doesn't have a death penalty, but I assume there's a basis to invoke a federal statute that provides for capital punishment in a case like this.

As for the weepers who will claim that this poor 19-year-old child shouldn't be executed, just remind them of the photo showing this guy, his explosive back-pack, and his 8-year-old victim. This was as cold-blooded murder as any I can think of.

Well, what do we do now?

We've had four serious jihadi attacks on American soil in Obama's four years as President, compared to zero during Bush's presidency after 9-11. Two of the attacks on Obama's watch failed and two of them succeeded.

The attacks only killed sixteen Americans so far. That's not many in the big picture. One attack per year, two or three, even. What's the big deal?

Liberals avoid saying it directly, but this is, bottom line, acceptable to them. After all Obama himself said, according to Bob Woodward, that the US could absorb another 9-11 attack.

Since liberals bugged out of the Iraq War, liberals have fought bitterly every aspect of the War on Terror. The Obama administration has even classified the Fort Hood Massacre as "workplace violence" and refused to award survivors their purple hearts.

Liberals may go through the motions of denouncing Islamic extremism when they are forced to, like now, but we know their heart is not in it. They have no interest in this conflict. For them, the real enemy they are motivated to oppose reamins the American Republicans and conservatives.

So it's up to the rest of Americans to decide whether current Obama policies towards dangerous Islamic groups and states are adequate.

I don't think the elder brother intended to get iced, or off himself, either. From the post-mortem photograph of him that I saw (assuming that it's genuine), there didn't seem to be any evidence that the elder brother "blew himself up" as was reported earlier. Just a lot of lividity to the face and a big, scalpel-cut hole in his thorax.

I was wrong about that judge panel.

That three judge panel is something to do with foreign surveillance... wiretaps national security letters.

The Miranda warning has a public safety exception.

The Miranda rule is not, however, absolute. An exception exists in cases of "public safety". This limited and case-specific exception allows certain unadvised statements (given without Miranda warnings) to be admissible into evidence at trial when they were elicited in circumstances where there was great danger to public safety.

The Godfather said...

And just one other thing, inspired by seeing Pres. Obama's statement this evening.

Right after the explosions, the President went on the tube to pledge that whoever did this terrible act would be brought to justice. And by gosh it looks like they have been!

The Pres. made the same pledge, in pretty much the same words, after American diplomatic personnel were murdered in Benghazi. But so far, there's no apparent progress on that front. So how about we put the Boston Police to work on the Benghazi case?

Dante said...

I doubt there will be anything interesting. All this attack does is piss people off, and stiffen the backbone of Americans.

In fact, if it weren't for the press, maybe this will help people to question what it means to be an American. Is it some international border less state, or is it on account that people actually have some common values?

I suspect this will put the kabash on Obama and his gun control ideas, and perhaps even the amnesty bill floating around.

Almost everyone wants the border shut down, but our politicians keep it open. So much for Democracy, eh, Ann?

Creeley23 - Since liberals bugged out of the Iraq War, liberals have fought bitterly every aspect of the War on Terror. The Obama administration has even classified the Fort Hood Massacre as "workplace violence" and refused to award survivors their purple hearts.

That's not Obama. Thats the Pentagon and to some extent, backed by WH collusion going back decades.
None of the Marines killed or wounded in Beruit got PHs because Reagan politics denied it was a military mission...it was a "Peacekeeping mission" and the Marines were "Peacekeepers".

Then Bush and the Pentagon classified SGT Akbars attack on fellow soldiers as "workplace violence" and no PHs were awarded. Of course, that was after the Neocon's doltish puppet President with Pentagon agreement that "The Heroes Who Serve" deserved full military honors - gave 2 million dollars and PHs to all military "terror victims" aboard the 4 flights, at the WTC, or Pentagon from 9/11.

Based on that, it was easy to see why they followed the SGT Akbar precendent.

As for the Constitution. Its a "living constitution" and can be read to support anything from Racial Segregation to affirmative action to sodomy to interning Japanese-american citizens.

==================
1. There is no reason to think that equal treatment under the Constitution must assume racial mixing. Before the blacks, there was Separate but equal for Native Americans..at the insistance of Native Americans that did not want forced assimilation and whites living amongst them...but Reservations instead.
And to this day, many people of various races LIKE what Carter and others call "ethnic purity". Except for blacks, where the higher the black population the more violent and dysfunctional it is...the more you go towards 100% white, Asian, hispanic communities - the more stable, low crime and trusting of one another the people become.

2. You swallow the liberal meme of interning Jap-Americans wholesale. Most, 65% and up to 93% of adults, were not American citizens, they were enemy alien nationals. The J-As were enemy alien's underage kids that went with relocation because their parents were not keen on the idea of separation and having the little J-As living with temporary adoption black and white couples...or worst of all...Chinese and Filipino foster parents.
They are the ones that demanded the J-As go with them/

Nor is that racist when you know that all the interned Germans, Austrians, Romanians, and Italians had their US citizen kids interned with them. Many had their US citizen spouses voluntarily go to internment with them.

==================
The "cowards" bit has always been stupid to lay on the enemy if they bravely fight, but don't mind killing kids in the process. Apaches did that, and were not cowards.
Nor were US bomber crews, amongst the bravest serving with the highest risk of dying of all US forces...."cowards!!" because they put bombs in enemy living areas hoping to napalm burn, blast and kill and maim whole families in the tens of thousands aimed at terrorizing Japs and Germans.

Generally, the enemy gets it right - someone who risks life and loses that bet, or goes on a mission knowing they will die is a martyr and someone brave. Someone who "took one for the team" and not a "coward".
We even get past that stupid taunt when we hand out medals for AF "baby killer cowards", or give out MOH for grenade floppers while denouncing far braver suicide bombers and Kamikaze pilots as "cowards".

Looking at the photograph of the elder brother's corpse again, I don't think the purple on the face, neck and upper chest are livor mortis after all. It looks more like some sort of massive hematoma or hemorrhage, possibly caused by being shot in the face/head and/or getting run over by little bro. The large thoracic wound was definitely a surgical/medical procedure, note the sharp angles of the cuts and the yellow staining from PVPI antiseptic.

What?

The reservation system was created by Thomas Jefferson to help them learn the ways of the white man.

It was policed by the US Army under the Indian Intercourse Acts. Indians did not want to live on reservations.

At least not until they found they could use casinos to scalp the white man in the one place it really hurt.

Where do you get your information?

Actually, you've got it backwards (surprise!).

About 5 out of every 8 were US citizens. And they were interned to weed out the infiltators among them. Once that was done, many AJAs (and that's the correct term - Americans of Japanese Ancestry) served in WWII - not only the 442nd Infantry and the 100th Infantry Battalion, but many individuals serving in such units as Merrill's Marauders.

Here's a quick guide to the breakdown of generations.

My Twitter feed is filled with pressure cooker jokes and I have refrained from joining them. People think they're clever but they are ignoring what was inside the pressure cookers, which I believe--but do not know--was gunpowder.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, I believe we'll see a discussion of tightening controls of gunpowder and other nitrate derivatives and a link to the Administration's failed gun and ammunition control efforts.

BTW, I think POTUS gave an appropriate post-capture live press conference. His remarks about tweets and blogs cut both ways.

But I agree, sexualization of these events should be--if at all--abstract and not a fingering pointing salivation.

William -- I told my wife, again, that while we all sit here and talk about how heinous this is (and Ocean fits it into a nativist prism, and C-Fudd a hilarious racist prism), there's a few dudes out there watching all this, and thinking it's cool, and pondering how they could do the same thing, but different.

Blood drying time depends upon several factors: size and depth of the blood spot or pool, humidity, temperature, the nature of the surface upon which the blood is found. A single drop of blood can dry in as little as an hour.

So, some of the blood is definitely dry.

The worst part about the present act of terrorism is that, as far as we know (which may not be far enough at this time), it was relatively unsophisticated, pulled off with little funding and limited organization by two seemingly average dopes. And it was a great success, assuming that terrorism and the continued erosion of both liberty and security was the goal. Compare this operation to 9/11/2001, a (relatively) sophisticated, well-planned and expensive act.

The terrible thing is that there is no way of preventing these types of operations without serious further damage to our already thread-bare notion of a free society. And yet we will choose that path, again and again, until there is no escape from totalitarianism, and little memory of what life was like before it.

Palladian nicely summarizes what terrorism is all about--there is simply no way you can secure a nation of 350 million people from a determined terrorist. Contra our political leadership Al Queda is not dead--It continues to operate and will continue to inflict death and destruction. And then there is the issue of the mentally unbalanced like the Newtown shooter, columbine shooters and many more. Then there are the sociopaths like Dahmer, Bundy and McVeigh.

If terrorists force us to give up our freedoms, they have won.

And Palladian makes the case much more elegantly than do I

I followed on the scanner channels and I don't think it's at all hypocritical or strange to simultaneously wish for the former and abhor the latter. These perps deserved capture and ultimately, justice; the Boston P.D. and the FBI did an amazing bit of police work; and it's horrible that our police have become so militarized and that they, our so-called "leaders" and the general public have become so casual about committing and accepting probable violations of our Constitutionally-protected natural rights.

I am optimistic. I don't see 9/11 here. I see a story that unfolded quite a but like the story of the DC sniper and his sad, deluded sidekick, with shades of Andrew Cunanan.

The guy who did this (mainly the dead, older brother) is one of those standard, enraged, alienated loons.

Nothing but a combination of principles, fear, strategic calculation and good sense has stopped douchebags like him from bombing masses of people prior to this Monday.

I am not horrified by the police presence. I am happy we have that shit and that capability, and happier still that we have the good sense to limit its use to times like last night.

It's all about perspective. For instance, while thousands of law enforcement personnel were pursuing two young men in grand old Boston and environs on Thursday, a suicide bomber detonated in a Baghdad café, killing at least 32 people and wounding many more. At least 8 people were shot in the Chicago area, in related and separate incidents.

The Boston PD did not impress. First, they had the guy, he drives away and the BPD lose him. Huge screw up.

Then the BPD locks down the whole city of Boston. Why not lock down the immediate area rather than the whole city?

Finally, the BPD didn't find the perp through excellent sleuthing, they had his location handed to them by a neighbor tipster. Nothing wrong with that but it wasn't brilliant work, it was just a tip.

chickelit said...

These two guys shut down Boston because of bombs, not guns. Somebody--I think it was bagoh20--compared the immobilized lethality of bombs vs. guns. Bomb squads still rely on clunky robots or fearless human defusers. Technology suggests drones are better tools but still, maybe against a backyard target but not in a crowd.

On the other hand, bombs are old school domestic terror weapons- Bill Ayers, Karleton Armstrong, Timothy McVeigh. What's new here is the audacity of targeting ordinary civilians and children.

chickelit said...

Bill Ayers, Karleton Armstrong, Timothy McVeigh

So odd to see those names strung together. Considering intent alone, all three were cold blooded killers. Armstrong was a reckless "accidental" killer. But based on deeds, Ayers is celebrated, Armstrong is forgiven, and McVeigh was executed.

I remain haunted by the warning I heard more than 15 years ago by a colleague.

He warned that the belief that "we all want the same things" is false and dangerous .

That there are people in our country who act like any other neighbor, going to work and worrying about their kids and planning for the future.

But they are not Americans, no matter how long they live here. They believe something alien, and destructive to America.

We let them in, arrogantly thinking they would assimilate, or stupidly thinking all humans wanted the same things.

We reap what we have sown.

I have worn Dansko clogs for years, though the last pair I bought were made by Sanita, because Dansko switched manufacture to China. They are indeed great and comfortable, but (in my experience) only as around the house or in the studio/workshop/classroom wear. I can't wear them for extensive, outdoor walking, because the top of them chafes my foot and they make me more likely to fall. I had a Danish friend in graduate school who recommended them as "working and standing shoes", and indeed they're excellent for hours in the wood-shop or painting.

For walking I still use New Balance 991s.

Then someone comes along who actually *knows* the story and he is exposed for the lying POS he is. Like his profile, claiming to have two daughters - once he talked about his *son* to make some point. The reality of course is he has never had sex with a woman he didn't have to pay for. If even that.

One of my childhood friends became the #2 Klan militia leader in the Southeast during the eighties and ended up serving ten years for conspiracy. He came from a picture-perfect American home. He was handsome, smart, sociable, and high-functioning -- an Eagle Scout in high school; a Green Beret, and a licensed pilot in his twenties.

If he had problems, I couldn't see them. He did what he did because he believed in his cause.

In 2007 Muslim terrorists attacked the Glasgow Airport and London Hospital with car bombs. Five of those involved were practicing medical doctors.

Insufficiently Sensitive said...

The sobering thought is, that after a day-long lockdown of a big area where the lawmen searched house-to-house, that massive search failed. Only after the proles were allowed outside their homes did an adult citizen observe the disturbance of his boat cover, and find blood, then the fugitive, inside it.

The citizen was lucky. The wounded fugitive had spent many hours lying still, and as hunters would know, had probably stiffened up enough to hinder any attempt to shoot the owner. Calling The Man to come get him was simple, and one might be allowed to think that all the subsequent shooting by the boys in blue was more a dramatic production than a necessary tactic in rounding up Dzokar Tsarnaev.

Hmm, so apparently the older brother had become radicalized Two years earlier, at least. And the FBI had been warned about him, and even interviewed him, but dismissed him without further follow-up.
When The Bush administration had a memo that said al Qaeda was determined to attack us, the left went on a jumpi had about how Bush KNEW! So, what does that say about the Obama administration? They had warnings and even interviewed the guy. And yet he still carried out the attack. Shouldn't the left hold the Obama administration accountable?

He also thought that 9/11 was an inside job. When we talk about radicalization, lets not forget that saying 9/11 was an inside job is also radicalization. Was it just Islam that colored his views, or was it lefty paranoid delusions about the evil Bush Amerikkka that cause him to hate America.
See how there's a crossover between lefty radicalism and Islamic jihad? The weget was the same.
The older brother hated America because he believed, in part, the lefts libel about Bushs's America.

If you think 9/11 was an inside job, then you think fundametnally that Bush was in league with Al Qaeda, or that Bush did it and framed Muslims for it. All to get Haliburton richer, or for some mythic pipeline. Or to start a war.
But fundamental to the argument is that Muslims are being scapegoated.

Now take a Muslim living in this country who has been radicalized with THIS notion. THat his religion is being targeted by evil America. Why wouldn't you take arms against such an evil America.

Birthers may be crazy (but there is some recent evidence that in fact the birth cert is in fact a fake), but what is the implication of Obama's crime? Namely that he forged a document and got a job that he wasn't qualified for.
What is the implication for thinking that 9/11 was an inside job?
That the govt should be overthrown and that Bush is the most evil perosn on the face of the earth, involved in the deliberate killing on thousands just to enrich himself.

The left is as much responsible for the world view of jihadis as Wahabism is. And I know plenty of my friends, people who seem like reasonable people otherwise, telling me how the Pentagaon wasn't hit by a plane, or that 9/11 was an inside job.People who I've known for ages who seemed, while liberal, to not be bat shit crazy.
