I doubt that handgun or even rifle bullets can go through bricks. Judging by the pics those weren't high caliber.
Hollywood has fooled you. Rifle rounds are designed to go through brick.

Regular car doors, brick walls, and doors are not going to stop bullets, despite what all the Die Hard movies may have shown you.
 
Islam is highly decentralized. It's the exact opposite of how the major Christian religions organize themselves. There is no hierarchy to promote or repress any dogma. It is literally the most 'of the people' / democratic of the Abrahamic religions.

While this is still true in name, the de facto situation has somewhat changed in the past half-century, ever since Saudi oil money funded particular fundamentalist (Salafist) strains of Islamic education, preaching and ideology and spread these in many regions and areas which had more localized, more tolerant versions of Islam. Bangladesh, which is the case I'm most personally familiar with, is a great example of this.

The amount of money they bring to bear on the issue means they may have significant doctrinal control in fact, if not in the letter of the Book.
 
Man, Fox has it covered. Keep playing to the lowest common demoninator. You know we'll watch it.
 
All you're doing is hoping that people won't notice the facts if we don't talk about them.

People aren't idiots.


People won't stop focusing on a relevant fact just because it makes you unhappy.

Radical Islam has fueled a ludicrous number of terrorist attacks over the world over the past two to three decades, not because of magical coincidence, but because of an ideology dedicated to the same. The fact that they are Muslims is not an irrelevant sideshow that we just ignore because someone's political agenda demands it.

Did you not read what I said? This isn't an issue that is seen as Islam v "Radical" Islam beyond the columns of broadsheet opinion pieces. This is simplified as just plainly "Muslims". There are people who attack women wearing a Hijab just because she is a Muslim. Who did she hurt? I'm talking about people who propagate lies to stir up trouble. I'm talking about people who openly advocate for the genocide of Muslims, so of course I'm going to be fucking "unhappy" about irresponsible language fed by the mass media. I'm not even talking about radical Islam - what I'm telling you is most do not give two shits to see a distinction
 
Say what you want about Fox, they have the best breaking news coverage. Giving good details and not dumb opinions like CNN and MSNBC. Props.
 
What the hell is going on on the scanner? Whatever the unit is with the k9 units their transmitter sucks

Someone's calling for EOD.
 
If we get to see this fucker hauled away in handcuffs my faith in humanity will be restored.

I don't think he'll be going to regular jail.

I'd settle for pound-me-in-the-ass prison. But like others informed me, it would be prosecuted federally and he'd probably get the death penalty.
 
Went to bed with them still chasing this guy.

Wake up to the entire city Boston under lockdown.

HOLY SHIT
