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

Reading on a couple of football sites that they are reporting the suspect is down. Any confirmations?
 
actually, people on this board have many times used him as an example of the horrible, murderous Christians on the loose in our great secular nation.......just a couple days ago some idiot here tried to claim McVeigh was a Christian terrorist......

You guys are so thick today. It's real simple. The media does not refer to any terrorist by religion unless it's Muslim. I'm not talking about JPP posters, your next-door neighbor or the families of McVeigh's victims. I'm saying that a dark-skinned person was seen running from the blast, and immediately it's all over the media that a Muslim Saudi is the person of interest. Dozens of people ran from the blast but only the Saudi is targeted... now why on earth would that make me think of profiling and reflexive bigotry?

Don't bother answering, it was a rhetorical question.
 
your argument might stand if you ignore the fact that most people have grown up hearing about Muslim bombers in Israel, Muslim bombers in Lebanon, Muslim bombers in Irag, Muslim bombers in Afghanistan AND Muslim bombers in the US......in-arguably, Muslims have cornered the market on blowing up things and people because of their religion.......

My argument stands because 80% of the major bombings in American were done by Americans, not foreigners, not Muslims.
 
So no one is actually watching this thing? WTF? Is this dude pinned on a boat or what?

You know you're getting awfully demanding Cawacko. I suppose you'd like me to give you a John King "we got em" type of report?

I am watching it but I can't answer you because no one knows yet. I mean, I can give you an "exclusive" and say yeah they got him pinned on a boat alright, and he was heard to say "i'm gonna need a bigger boat". Does seem like something big is going on but no one on tv knows shit, so they are all babbling like hyenas.

That's what she said.

I'm stuck in this office an hour and 15 minutes away from home (if i'm lucky) with no TV and no alcohol. This is darn near inhumane treatment on a Friday afternoon. Considering the circumstances I believe I am well behaved.

Oh okay, I will let you know if they report anything with any certainty then.
 
i have an image of the dead body of the older brother if anyone wants a link. he is fuccccccccked up. I wont post it on the board though.
 
lol, right...because nobody on the left has ever argued that the Tea Party is made up solely of the religious right.......

You, Damo and the others can try your hardest to take this argument in a separate direction but you're all failing miserably. Let me dumb it down as much as I can. Where has the media publicized all these killers as Christian?

Ted Bundy, serial killer. James Holmes, mass murderer. Jared Loughner, attempted assassin and murderer. Ted Kaczynski, unabomer. Paul Curtis, ricin mailer. Eric Rudolph, Olympic Park bomber. Mark David Chapman, Lennon murderer. Seung-Hui Cho, Virginia Tech killer. Adam Lanza, Newtown murderer.
 
I am flat giving you an example of Christian Bomber. I refer to my memory as you referred to yours, put it in clear context and with an explanation of why I remember it, and then point out that his religion was a large part of what was reported. Comprehension isn't an issue of mine, the issue is your willing and purposeful memory regression where you conveniently "remember" what you want rather than what was.

When talking about an attack of this type the motivation will always be part of the description. Even if you don't like it, it still will be. So, if you don't want to mention their religion, you should get them to use other criteria as motivation for their attacks.

I mentioned Rudolph before you even posted on the thread. I know he was Christian and anti-choice, but his crimes weren't blamed on the religion. Feel free to show me anything where it was. With the marathon bombers, immediately we got hit with BS about the religion of peace and killing for Islam, first with the innocent Saudi kid and then with the Chechen brothers. In fact, you yourself said the older kid wrote on FB that he did this because of his religion. So far you're the only person who said that; I haven't found it anywhere else and when I looked at the younger kid's page, it was 90% Chechen and unreadable to me.

Here's a sampling of headlines about Rudolph. The word "Christian" isn't mentioned in any of them. The crimes weren't blamed on his religion. If you have something to disprove this, I'll be happy to take a look.
