The biggest losers in the Boston bombing story...
One suspect dead, the other in custody, and hurting.
(Hey, he was shot and wounded.)
But the biggest losers from this entire week?
The right-wing media noise machine.
Glenn Beck and Alex Jones making up wild accusations that make them look just plain stupid.
The NY Post looking like the not-fit-for-a-birdcage-liner it is.
Nothing from Rush the Fathead yet, since he was off this week.

No idiot the biggest losers this week are the dead and the wounded, and as usual you DUmmies are just plain losers on any give day.
The way you idiots have politicized this is beyond disgusting. All week you were praying to your spirit guides or your toasters that the bombers would be tea baggers. When you found it they were Muslims you didn't have the decency to admit you were wrong.
Ohh and another thing moron, Rush was there most of the week, and he said that Bill Ayers got his start doing similar things.

25. Exactly. The parents who lost their children. The people who lost their limbs. I think they're ..
hurting a little more than any right wingers.
The only way us right wingers are hurting over this, is the grief over what happened to the victims.

18. As if no DUers had their own wildly false speculations...
Someone who "knew" it wasn't a muslim, or were willing to bet the farm it was a RW teabagger. All the obsessive speculation over what race, ethnicity, or skin color the bomber(s) were.
This OP is a little bit hypocritical.
I'd say stupid not hypocritical, but that's just me.

The DUmpmonkeys are busier than a dozen kittens in a sandbox.

The Quantess primitive hit one out of the ballpark.

I'd say we, the average citizen, are the biggest losers. There is now a precedent to shut down all commerce and activity, and basically hide in your home until mommy makes the bad man go away.
This was two people shutting down an entire city, imagine the chaos when coordinated attacks occur in multiple cities. The fact that Bostonians are celebrating like it's VE day makes it all the more humiliating.

You know, I'm kind of having difficulty understanding why we're not seeing any;
LIHOP!!!!!11!!
MIHOP!!!!1!!
Over at the DUmp? Can anyone explain that to me??

You make an excellent point, I often say something is hypocritical when it is just downright stupid. It is a habit I need to break.

Uh huh.
We should be angry, not celebratory.
It's discouraging this country's fallen to such depths, but I remain confident it'll change.

Hold on a minute. The city was locked down for one day. ONE DAY.
Everyone worked together to bring these bastards to the surface. That is one hell of a message to send the SOBs who are planning the next attack.
When Sweet Caroline is played at Yankee Stadium? Dude, your attempt at divide and conquer is dead on arrival.

I'm not attempting to divide and conquer anything, just expressing my thoughts. I may be wrong, as I frequently am, but I just don't see this as a victory. I see it as a an entire city brought to it's knees by the actions of two half-assed jihadis. The message to the SOBs who are planning the next attack is that we are sheep.

I don't think so. Not with both caught so rapidly, and no hesitation in killing the first one.

You was directed to terrorists.
Really? What should have been done when a MIT cop killed, another cop down (cause the cops werent in Watertown people at that time), bombs thrown out window, dead suspect with suicide belt on, other suspect disappears with God know what?
Boston stayed put and 23 hrs later its over.
Yeah how embarrassing for us. Meanwhile over in shithole anywhere else, citizens embrace terrorism as a way of life. Not here, I'll keep baaaahing thanks just the same.
-
15 cops were taken to hospital injured from the bombs tossed at them by the way.
Rambo here only needed two shots to take them out though... Truly unbelievable.
-

Your not the only one who feels that way. The talking heads on the news last night were discussing just that. Even jihadi experts were bringing this up as a possible new front on terrorism here.
I'm not in the camp of letting the officials off the hook. I see this massacre in Boston as being preventable. The FBI was warned about this guy in 2011 by another country worried about his radical ties. We have thrown billions of dollars at the war on terrorism and supposedly we have all these great ways of cross checking which didn't work because of PC garbage. There is going to be a lot more to this story as time goes on. We still don't know if there are others involved in actively plotting similar events.

I'm sorry...Were you describing Glen Beck or Democratic Underground?
Because from what I saw, there were endless threads by your fellow Dolts making wild accusations that it was right wing extremists, and lamenting the fact that it might turn out to be a non-white guy who did it.

All of the fictional spirit-guides that have to work with the Dummies have a saying. It goes like this…
You can lead a horse to water, but DUmmies are the most idiotic, clueless, politicizing, uncaring, indecent, vile pieces of parasitic shit to ever exist on this planet.

Hey DUmbasses, the biggest losers in all this are you. In fact anytime anything happens you DUmbasses will always be the biggest losers because that's what you are, the biggest losers on planet Earth.

What more could be done though? Im just wondering. Our FBI is limited by the law and rightly so. Beyond a certain point they can't do anything to someone who has not done anything yet. As much as these bastards disgust us, it is truly a gray area legally, until they killed. If this were changed then we can bet it would be used against any number of us for our views before it would be used on them. So no, I don't hold the FBI at fault here unless I am missing something. Did they commit some crime that was not followed up on? At any rate I agree with you that more info will come out.

I was quite shocked people actually listened to the police and stayed indoors under their blankies too. I highly doubt our company would have closed its doors because of two people on the loose. Really just one, because didn't the older brother die the night before? If we had to stay locked up because ONE bad guy was on the loose, our city would be on "lock down" almost every single day. Are we suppose to stay in our homes when an armed robber gets away and just stay holed up until the police find him?

The biggest losers in the Boston bombing story...
Obama and Democrats for not taking the terrorism threat seriously?
Leftist ideology, who are so afraid of the tea party, that everytime an incident happens they blame it on the right then it turns out to be 1 of their own?
The American people who through their vote, stupidity and overall ignorance made these events possible by enabling the top 2 I listed?

They dropped IEDs all over multiple cities. This isn't an armed thug of the projects, this was a terrorist and they had no idea what he strapped to his body and what he had on him to toss (grenades being one of the items).
I am more than sure you would have stayed home also and if your employer opened then they would be assholes.

My thoughts on this are, this event has shown just how far we have sunk as a civilization. We have a government that is doing everything they can do to disarm us and make it so that we need to hide in our dark houses anytime there is a bad guy out there. Maybe if they spent more time looking at what immigrants from terrorist hotbeds are doing, instead of worrying how many rounds we have in a single magazine this shit wouldn't happen as much. Maybe instead of frisking granny and autistic 8 year olds at the airport, we should focus on people who fit the description of your "typical terrorist" at the airport. I know the left will howl about racial profiling and their normal nonsense, but we need to stand up to those freaks of nature and actually allow the TSA, the FBI, CIA, and so forth to focus on actual terrorists. You know what we used to call common sense back when our country had at least a little bit of sense.

I agree.
I'm also curious about why it seems that you rarely hear about these terrorist type attacks in areas where there is less gun control. I'm talking about in areas where you would be more likely to hear something along the lines of:
Operator: 911. How may I help you?
Private Citizen: Yeah, I need you to send the police to the corner of Oak and Main Streets. I just popped a cap in the ass of some idiot trying to kill people.

Boston did what they had to do so law enforcement could sweep the streets to clear the IEDs and bring the POS to the surface. They were calm, cooperative and helpful to requests made of them:
One consoling thought is the admirable behavior of the citizens of greater Boston and its law enforcers. The point may seem banal, but it's no small matter that the public largely heeded the government's orders to stay off the streets and take the day off so police could track down the younger brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar, who was captured Friday night after a day-long manhunt.
Bostonians have endured enormous disruption this week, but the city has shown a remarkable civility and calm throughout it all. Many lives were saved because of the rapid triage work by volunteers at the bomb scene. Bloomberg News reports that one of the marathon bombing's victims also helped the FBI identify a suspect after he awoke from surgery at the hospital. The suspect had dropped a bag at Jeff Bauman's feet and looked him in the eye minutes before it exploded. Mr. Bauman lost both legs below the knee but got his man.

and echoing what freeper just said:
This means surveilling foreign student groups in the U.S., certain immigrant communities that have produced jihadists, and, yes, even mosques and other Muslim venues. The key is to be familiar enough with these communities, to know and be trusted enough by their leaders, so those man and women will alert law enforcers when someone appears to have become radicalized.
This offends some civil libertarians, and the Associated Press excoriated the NYPD for the practice in a series of stories in 2011. In the wake of Boston, this looks notably misguided. New York's police say they've kept at it, under appropriate legal safeguards, and we hope they will continue.
The U.S. government watches right-wing extremist groups because we know they are dangerous. The police shouldn't refrain from doing the same to Muslim or immigrant groups merely because that is deemed less politically correct. As the week's events in Boston show, the costs of doing otherwise are too high.

They hit large urban cities where entrance/exit is easily done (Canada is not far away), where there is a large, diverse population of college students, and where they can easily get lost if needed (NYC is hours away).
They hit Texas, they are still driving 12 hours later to get the hell out of Texas, and they would stick out like a sore thumb.

Criminals and terrorists hate competition. They want to be the only one in the room with a gun.

Hi5!!!!
They have stopped several terrorist threats. Many of them through entrapment. But this Admin seems to want to ignore what's right under their nose so as not to offend Muslims who don't have our best interests. I have read where upwards of 10% of Muslims are or believe in radical Islam.
They were warned by another country about this guy. He didn't show up on any of their data reports so they closed the door on him. Why? Did they bother to tell the Boston police or the MA AJ what they had learned? Why wasn't there a red flag going up when he went to Russia for six months? Why wasn't there a red flag when he was arrested for beating up his girlfriend or posting dozens of jihad videos to youtube?
What really makes me crazy is that they had this video of him and his brother that they determined were the bombers, yet they had to put their pictures out to the public to find out who they were. As far as I see it, they had already interviewed him in 2011 and had his name and where he lived. He should have been at the top of their list.

Round these part the cops would have probably told the population: "If you see him, PLEASE call the police instead of shooting him!" :tongue: :tongue:

I agree with you there. I blame Obozo and Nappy the most. They should have deported their asses the minute he got that beating conviction.

Id say the biggest losers are the victims and their friends and loved ones, asshat- but you go on and label the right wing as such... :whatever:

No, I would not have. I'm not going to let ONE person hold me hostage in my house all day. I don't see how my employer would have been "assholes" for doing business. Dunkin' Donuts was open all day during the standoff/lock down yesterday in Boston to feed the cops... seems they (employees of DD) were okay. I don't live my life in fear of one person. If there was a very large group of terrorists in my city throwing bombs out of car windows, shooting at police, etc. then I would have stayed indoors by choice.

You claim this from how many states away? You wouldn't have left your house if you were here, was fully aware of what was happening, and understood the danger of going out.

The DDs that opened - no idea who staffed them, but no one else was on the street and the staff had plenty of police protection getting to and from work.
-
You claim this from how many states away? You wouldn't have left your house if you were here, was fully aware of what was happening, and understood the danger of going out.
Yes I would have left my house. I would have left my house in our gun friendly state. Again, there is no way in hell I would have let ONE person on the loose keep me locked up in my house all day. I guess if you live in Boston where most of the residents have NO way of protecting themselves, even while in their own homes, then I might have stayed home and grabbed a pair of scissors or a pen or a baseball bat....
But seriously, who cares? If you want to comply with Marshall Law, then do it. I have a life to live here and one lunatic isn't going to keep us all locked up in our homes or offices. I'd be coming and going as I do every single day. That one person could not be in every single part of the city at one time.
I saw a picture of a police officer bringing milk to a family who ran out during the lock down. Where did he get that milk from? Must have been from a place that had people out while the lock down as going on. I guess every single one of those people were stupid and their employers were "assholes" for opening their doors for business too.
