Doesn't Boston Event Seem Odd?

[ripley16]

All this for one scared $hitless 19 year old kid?

No. All this for one murderous, heartless killer who uses explosives to kill and dismember scores of people. Any possible future events had to be factored into the reaction too. A difference that should be obvious.

Why haven't they used this strategy to get the hundreds of murderers in Chicago?

19 year old "kids" are a big part of our armed forces.
The fertilizer plant in Waco, killed far more people, but didn't get much coverage.
I found a "tin foil" hat pic of that event. It's a frame from the video a father and son were taking of the plant burning. Someone slowed the video down and caught something interesting. What is that object that is outlined in red? Some say it's an incoming missile. Plus while all this was going on, the House passed the CISPA act, which pretty much strips us of what little privacy we had left on the internet. Nor that one should think anything going over the internet or email is "private". It's all logged and backed up somewhere.
I don't know what it is, but sure looks out of place, and like it's incoming, and not something being shot out from an explosion.

OK, what?

Where the hell is Spenser and Hawk when you need um????....This will no doubt be the biggest manhunt of a criminal since criminals were invented....

My thoughts are the FBI and all other Federal Law Enforcement agencies have a shoot to kill on sight order....We now know they are/were "muslim" extremists AKA/terrorists which has caused Obummer to have to use the words Islamic and terrorist in the same sentence which surely causes him great pains and mighty gastric upset so he doesn't want this kid to say squat because anything he says will only hurt the "Great One's" platform on immigration and terrorism and make the administration look bad and we all know how highly BO thinks of himself and his legacy...

I want them to catch the a-hole and waterboard the little bastard until he sings like a canary about what this was about and who else was involved but me thinks suspect 2 will be room temperature soon....Too bad, the good people at that parade who will need prosthetic legs the rest of their life and the families of the dead, especially the 8 year olds dad should each get some time with junior in the octagon cage armed with a claw hammer and channel lock pliers....

This is the one Thing barry did't want to see!
He wanted a right wing american borne gun nut to have done this!
NOW all bets are off the table... poooor Barry! not a good week lost the gun bill and now this.:7:

Completely agree that this mutt killed 3 innocents, injured 170, killed a cop, gravely injured another and caused an entire city to be shut down. I was not giving him a pass in any sense of the word. I suppose I should have explained my mindset at the beginning.

By all accounts this kid's brother was the one who was radicalized. Nothing in any of this kid's background indicates any malice. I believe it will come out that he was following his brother. Doesn't make it right, it makes him guilty. My scared $hitless 19 YO description came because he suddenly was left holding the bag 100% and under the most intense manhunt in US history. Yes, many 19YO kids are being shot at in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Apologies to anyone I offended with my comments. It was merely to describe what I still think was the scene. I do not diminish the efforts of all the LE and First Responders. Great job by all. But it sure seemed like overkill X10.

I'll bet you wouldn't have considered it overkill if it happened in your neighborhood to your loved ones. And I'll bet that you wouldn't have considered it overkill if they had escaped because they didn't respond with enough forces. How many more would you like to have seen these "kids" kill and maim. Support your local police is more than just a slogan to me and I don't see a government conspiracy under every rock.

Take your meds Muggsy.

Now if this was a well planned/organized terrorist attack the kid would be in a safe house awaiting transportation/instructions

No, the pair of them would either be gone, or dead. Gone if they had further usefulness. Dead by their own handlers, if their usefulness was depleted.

Pearl Harbor- We were warned and Washington delayed the message
Gulf Of Tonkin- one of the biggest lies in US Naval history! Result maybe an additional 50000 names on the Wall in Washington.
False Flags go back a long way in the government.
These thought provocative posts members make, just keep the forum interesting, certainly nothing to blow a head gasket over... Just sayin'
