    it is true by heart & soul that when you terrorize citizens of whatever country you are from or wherever you live, if you bomb/terrorize & maim & kill others you have just signed over your rights, you have just denounced yourself & you are up a fucking creek without a boat or paddle

    these assholes denounced not only themselves but all the people they hurt & killed, all the families involved, their own family & friends, every citizen of boston & the surrounding area as well as all of America & the rest of the world.

    happens all the time across the globe.

    these two pricks took full advantage of being a American citizen. they had nice clothes, attended schools, had jobs, had a home, had cars. they could have stayed in their corner of the world. who knows, maybe they had plans planned out for them since day one of fucking up boston one day.

    terror cells work at their agendas for decades at a time
    Hmm, arriving ten years ago, so at 16 yrs old and 9 yrs old respectively , they coeirced their parents to flee their wartorn homeland in order to come here and do all this mayhem?

    Cmon, dude.

    I for one am interested to learn what the motivation was for these acts.

    I agree ... its in everyone's best interest to know what the motive was.

    I stand alone without beliefs

    thank you,
    I was just asking for a collective deep breath, ya know?

    Most certainly this act(s) was abhorant. As for the human beings behind this? Man, I really would like a fuller picture of who they are and what motivated them.

    Perhaps , getting hauled in at the request of the Russian gov( so its been reported, whatever thats worth) is what set him on this kind of path.

    In times like these, I feel, we MUST rise above and allow the systems we have in place that make this such a supposedly great country do what it is they do.

    The Constitution and the ideals that America espouse either ARE the way to go, or we should just shut the fuck up about them, if we cant attempt to rise up to those ideals. We cant have it both ways.

    yikes. so what should they have done to catch him in your eyes?

    I'll ask again.......

    I asked as well. He doesn't have an answer because there is no better solution than the one that played out. He simply hates Obama and looks for any reason possible to sling mud at him. A few posts back he basically called everybody stupid and said he was leaving this thread because of that. Then he came back after doing some thinking to post some more rhetoric.

    I'm done with this thread. Too many of you need a lesson in Constitutional law.

    Peace.

    Nothing unconstitutional about it.
    It's just the whacko conspiracy theorists that want to make something out of nothing.

    It stems from a 1984 U.S. Supreme Court case (New York v. Quarles) involving a Queens man charged with criminal gun possession. A witness told police the man raped her and had a gun. When they found him at an A&P supermarket, he had an empty shoulder holster. An officer, after handcuffing him, asked him where the gun was. The man gestured toward a stack of liquid-soap cartons, where police found a loaded revolver.

    That applies when there is a threat of another immediate attack. The police have already declared this crisis over, therefore there is no reason to violate his rights. Of course they already know that, the threat being over that is.

    Id settle for unsung to explain which constitutional rights were violated. Because I haven't read or seen anything that would suggest they were

    Edit: except for the home searches. I can only guess and say that the homeowners gave permission for the cops to search their home. If they forced themselves in the homes, then yes, that's a problem.

    if i was a home owner i would even pay the authorities to let them arrest that piece of shit and take hi away of my property

    i guess unsung when he says his constitutional rights were violated,he means they didnt treat him as they treat people like 2002 at that hotel and vacation destination ..

    There is no constitutional rights issue yet. If they abuse the Public Safety Exemption which they likely will, then there needs to be a discussion. But who even knows if he will refuse to talk at this point. It's all speculation.

    I don't have a problem with asking him about other plans or other participants or other explosives without Mirandizing him.

    I do disagree with the Republican rhetoric going on now about classifying him as an enemy combatant. He is an American citizen, and he deserves the same rights as the rest of us. He didn't attack the the military or the government. He attacked other citizens. In my opinion, he is no different than a mass shooter or a serial killer or those types of scumbags.

    This might be a case of semantics as you have rightfully referred to him as a scumbag, but I would venture to say he doesn't deserve the same rights as the rest of you. He's going to receive them and I understand why, but he deserves shit sandwiches and daily beatings. If not these... then death.
