Boston Marathon explosions

Are they going to surgically attach the subhuman penis to Montel?

That's braver than Katie Couric getting a colonoscopy on live television.

On the other hand, if they've already shut down all the flights in and out of the city itself, how hard is it for everyone else to just skirt around the city? Or maybe they want to have a dozen helicopters in the air looking for him with no interference.

Or they don't want aircraft running into the drones they've got up looking for him and they don't want citizens to see the drones so they told them all to stay indoors. Big Brother is so clever.

[Griff]

They picked up the fuck.

... aaaand didn't shoot any innocent bystanders in the process. Good job, BPD.

Perhaps instead of wasting more money on him they could just revoke his US citizenship and throw him in Gitmo.

Since Dad went back to Russia, and Mom's facing charges in Natick, MA, for stealing nine dresses from Lord & Taylor, his big brother was all he had left.

But big bro was resentful that little bro became a citizen, so the poor lad had to blow up children. That we he would prove to big bro he was still pure and uncorrupted, by the running capitalist dogs that gave him asylum, money, scholarships and other perks native borns can't get.

I mean, what's a fella to do when he doesn't have any friends because he doesn't understand them.

In other news, Boston cops are now considered the sexiest on the planet. One woman said: "They even know how to find a little man in a boat!"

[xoxoxoBruce]

Damnit, you promised you wouldn't bring that up again... I was drunk, it was dark...

[Pete Zicato]

I think the lockdown helped. I wonder if the informant would have noticed the details and would have called the cops if it had been business as usual.

[Lamplighter]

Ummm
... more than likely he would have discovered the kid in his boat,
even without a city-wide lock down...

Dude. You are so screwed. I mean, like, totally. Each day that you wake up, for the rest of your life, you’re going to face the very real possibility that it is only going to get worse. And you’re like nineteen. If they don’t kill you that means you might spend sixty years of a life behind bars. That is a long ass time to be in an orange jumpsuit. If you made those little tick marks on the wall here would be twenty-two thousand of them before you died a very old man in a very small cell.

Do you think Allah had this in mind?

I’m not one for a religious debate here but the people you killed… do you think they were your enemies? You could have done a lot of things to make the world a better place, in the name of your religion but instead you decided to kill people who otherwise might have stopped and listened to what you had to say. But now whatever you say is going to be tainted by the fact what you did was murder. Charles Manson is a lot closer to being your god than Allah is if I know anything about religion and anything about murder.

Much more and well worth reading, at Hickory Headed Hermit.

Well said, HHH.

Heard my first conspiracy theory this morning. About how this was set by the Government and the brothers were set up as mooks. Note how one is dead and the other was "conveniently" shot in the throat.

It was a practice session for martial law, with police and soldiers allowed to enter all houses withiut evidence or warrant, asking all other citizens to remain in their houses, ideally away from windows and/ or lying on the floor.

Note how only three people died - the bomb was made to ensure maximum panic without killing off too much of the labor force. Also American citizens were the perpetratirs, because there isn'sn't another international conflict America wants to start unlike last time,

They think they know who sent those poison envelopes. An Elvis impersonator from Mississippi. Arrested him.

His Flickr page is still up, if you feel like gawking at his pictures from gigs and events. Weird thing is that the page views of the images are so low still. Nobody is looking.

Looks like the crazy Elvis impersonator may have been framed by a crazy former Mississippi House of Representatives candidate.
