Given that both of these guys came to the US 10 or more years ago I really doubt they had any training overseas. Unless of course they had any trips in that time.
 
Boyfriend ended up going to work, seem like none of his coworkers are staying home/havent even heard of last nights events. It's about about 20 minutes from waterfront, so maybe I'm overreacting. Also worried for him because he's Russian with a temporary greencard. :/
 
I go to sleep for 2 hours and I miss a ton of stuff. Looks like things are coming to an end though. P.S. Here's a little advice for the father, you can probably forego the line "My son is a true angel" when talking about the murderer of an 8 year old child.

NBC just interviewed journalist Robin Wright, whose kids went to the same high school as he did, and described the kid as being a “beautiful boy.” She says that get kid had no idea and are “devastated.” She says that he was a loving kid. She says get kid just texted Dzhokhar about going to the Superbowl together.

Sounds like no one could have expected this.
 
So you are demanding conversations conform to your standards for what you consider appropriate references to Islam or Muslims based entirely on your personal anecdotal experiences? That is fairly ridiculous. Why should your personal experiences, or even the random unequal bigotry or violence exhibited towards muslims dictate how in-context and factually relevant usage and references to muslims or Islam are used, or even if they are allowed within polite conversations at all?




No, what referencing their apparent religion does is give the most assumably relevant reason for the apparent terrorist actions they have taken. Given the real and current lack of information, and certainly lack of any other legitimate reasons for their resorting to terrorism, we can infer certain things about specific attackers and attacks based on the apparent religion of attackers and the large history of Islamic terror attacks. That you want to disallow references to that to resolve old problems or supposedly fix future ones is intellectually disingenuous, and illegitimate in a relatively open and free society founded on the ideal of free and open speech.

I don't want to offend you by simply ignoring your response. I've read it and I'll come back to it later. Forgive me, but I'm not in the mood to debate semantics at the moment but you've misunderstood my point. I'll elaborate and PM you to notify you of my reply
 
can we just stop posting stuff from twitter full stop?

There's so much nonsense in this thread it's hard to follow at times.

They went back and forth between countries, definitely possibly this was planned for a while.
 
I want to know how these people got their weapons, this should be the last straw for weapons being so freely available

You mean like pressure cookers? This really isnt about an AWB or gun control. Wanting to turn it into something like that would be like blaming all Muslims because they were (supposedly) Muslims.
 
Lol what in the hell, CNN is already calling them self radicalized Muslims motivated by other terrorist attacks. Do we know enough to say anything like they?

Very wild assumptions based on the Chechen information. Chechens are predominately muslim.
 
Once your pic gets released to the public, it is over.
They should of stocked up on 4-6 months worth of food/water and got out of boston the day the explosions happened.

They could of been in the mountains with no leads. But thankfully criminals are stupid and hopefully they catch this asshole real soon and if a bullet accidentally hits him in the head i won't be sad. Maybe they wanted to get caught? Who knows.
 
someone so young could have done so much with their life. it's really fucked up someone would go down this path

How is that in relation to what you said? Describing the suspect as "hot" and how youre turned on by him? Why do you think thats appropriate in this thread?
 
Man, I hope everyone posting the picture and trying to make a connection between the bombers and the MISSING KID feel the stupid idiots they are. That guy has a family and I hope they never see the stupid shit posted on the internet about their kid.

wat - I thought you lived on the 3rd floor?

Me? I hope I didn't say that earlier in this thread haha. I live on the first floor of a dorm building at Northeastern. I'm not that close to where everything is going on currently..I was just trying to say that the lockdown in Boston isn't as locked down as people may think..just some positivity out of here I suppose. I'm sure Allston/Cambridge/Watertown, etc are totally locked down, though.
