Topic: Boston Marathon Blasts Kill 2, Police Say

[Shiroi Koumori]

Authorities have not identified the suspect(s) and no one is claiming responsibility. They said that it is hard to sift through all the camera photos and videos.

One bomb was stuffed inside a pressure cooker. Other objects like nails, ball bearings were also inside the pressure cooker.

A story on the victims:

Not often do you hear about a nutcase whom decides to use a fragmentation explosive over the standard one.

It's more effective. The shrapnel is scattered on a large perimeter, hurting whoever wasn't hurt by the explosion. Terrorists often used it during the intifada.

It is a tragedy that such violence happens, but such is our world. Odd that nobody takes responsibility. Perhaps it means the terrorist did not belong to an organized group. Terrorist organizations would take responsibility immediately; Some of them take responsibility even for attacks they did not carry out.

"Stay home and don't go anywhere", they said.
"Close your windows and lock your doors", they said.
"If you're in a hotel, get back to your room and do nothing", they said..


...so people are forbidden to go to places and forced to pay for THEIR imcompetence?!?!
FUCK NO!!! If those motherfuckers are pretty sure the city is in danger, so why don't they give a crap for their job and just do the city a favor and do something against that? It's their job, it's not people's fault if tragedies like these happen.
I bet a minimum sense of justice and struggle in there could somehow show the people who died that they're not gone in vain..

One of the suspects is dead, shot and run over.

The other has been cornered and a negotiator has been sent in.

Uncle gave a statement saying the suspects have shamed their family and they are losers- uncle is awesome.  Father apparently made some sort of vague threat if the other suspect is killed- father is a douche.

Well, if we follow the law he should first go to the prison and then be executed. Its unfair if they kill it first, he needs to be traited like a lady in the prison first after receiving the fury of all prisoners.

He'll probably be incarcerated at a maximum security prison considering he's a terrorist.  Means solitary cells and constant surveillance.  He MIGHT be put in a close security prison but I rather doubt it.

[Inccubus]

Don't forget that terrorists are now treated under military law because of 9/11. He may not even get a trial. Which would be completely wrong. Terrorist or not, he's a criminal, not a foreign soldier and should be treated as such.

I sucked at Geography, but even I know where Chechnya is. *facepalm*

If it comes out the brothers did this for Muslim reasons, then I would suspect they were coerced into saying that. Ultimately, if I went off what that guy's article said about the brothers, I'd say it's more likely they were trying to get better jobs and got rejected, so they bombed the Marathon. Or they just did it for shits and giggles; they thought it'd be a blast. Hell, I used to make explosives when I was in high school. I knew a couple guys in college that did it. My chem professor's assistant worked on formulas to make meth during lab. Some people just take things too far (I limited myself to fireworks, not bombs, for the record).

Oh well, I don't really even follow the story. Sure there are a bunch of maimed people and a few dead ones, but as far as bombings go that was pretty lame.

[Gunlord]

I cant believe people confuse Chechnya with Czechs. ~_~ Granted, its a lot of Cs, but still...

Okay... That was fucking stupid...
