One Boston terrorist dead and one to go. (UPDATE: Suspect Captured)

I don't know what the insistence on using "Want" is about. I feel like I am talking to a couple of Rainmen.

I guess you have never given any thought to consequences then.

Should I have not desired they have been caught?

Ultimately who I desired to have done this wasn't really going to make a difference. Nor did I post anything on here making assumptions of who did it.
 
The city of Watertown, Mass., has been effectively shut down as a manhunt is underway for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. Police are going door to door in search for the second suspect.
Public transportation has been suspended and authorities told people at closed stops and stations to go home. No vehicle traffic is allowed in Watertown. A no-fly zone is in place over the city.

I am just glad as hell we don't live in a police state. :rolleyes:

On day one there was also speculation that the bomber was a tea party person or a right wing militia member.

My guess as to why no one suspected a Muslim for the mailer is that it doesn't fit the MO of what we have seen in the past. The letter terrorists to date have been white guys domestically (going on memory... don't quote me on this). Thus the mailer is likely being profiled as such. I know profiling is an evil word for many on the left, but since this is profiling white guys we should all be able to agree that it is ok in this case.

Read my link above showing Muslims involved in only five of 23 serious bombings since the late 1800s. The emphasis on their religion is way out of proportion to the so-called Christian bombings.

Darla's right about what's likely to happen now that we know the two were Muslim. A fresh round of hate, bigotry, revenge, etc.

I didn't do that either, so not sure what your point is.

Yeah I'm complaining that you wanted them caught, I was really hoping they'd get away with it. I'm pissed.

Wish you were there with your arsenal. He'd be caught in no time and all would be hunky-dory again.

You were accusing me of something. I'm stating my position.

Jeez, really? Boston is a great town - my fave city after NYC.

Hate the Celtics, but aside from that...

God, I hate Boston. I appreciate the history of the City and that it's a lot like San Francisco in that it's land locked and has real nice neighborhoods, but I hate the people there. I hate their accents and I hate their provincial view that if you aren't born and raised in Boston and one of us then when don't like you. I also hate their sports teams.

You guys are both missing the point. On day one, nobody knew anything but there was immediate speculation the bomber was Muslim and no speculation that the mailer was Muslim. Why so? That's all I want to know, why didn't anyone speculate the mailer was Muslim?

FB has nothing to do with anything because on day one we didn't even have a name, let alone knowledge about FB postings.

Again, the reality is that many Muslims attack people in this way for their God, if such were the case with Christians then that too would have been speculated.

The reality is that there are a great many attacks by Muslims done because they are Muslim and done to glorify their version of God, in the US it is far more rare for a Christian to be bombing people because they are Christians and when it was done because of that it was reported that way (Atlanta Bomber).

While a bomber may be a Christian or not they are rarely bombing people because they say Jesus wanted them to. You still have presented no evidence that the ricin mailer was a Christian, only that he believed in delusions and conspiracies, according to your reports of his Facebook account, which I take at face value, he mailed non-dangerous ricin because he was delusional (and stupid), not because he was Christian.

(BTW - My first speculation was that it would be a Timothy McVeigh type of radical and would be used as an excuse to promote still more dangerous legislation to remove portions of our rights and an attempt to tax them into non-existence. I am glad that what I hoped was untrue turned out to indeed be untrue.)

You spent entirely too much time isolated with Back Bay assholes, of which there are many. I'm not originally from here and hate the sports teams for the most part (Red Sox being the lone exception) but I think you have a distorted view of the city and its people.

I lived there for a few years, and didn't get any of that. I do, however, have a bit of irish in me, so there's that.

Fair enough, I was only there for eight months and worked in a small office with all married people so I spent a lot of time on my own. I enjoyed the City when I visited as a kid but I hated my experience living there.

If you believe this picture as much as the FB page, he's giving a thumb's-up to Christianity. Check out my Faux News link. Eighteen out of 23 major bombings in the US were by non-Muslims.

WTC 93, WTC 2011, USS Cole in 2000, Two US Embassies in 1998... all are very recent

Add in the numerous IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan and this IS what the Islamic terrorists there do.
