Hopefully they're able to do some "data mining" on that piece of shit with a car battery and jumper cables to find out if any other Chechens are involved.
....In Watertown!Hiding in a boat, on dry land...
He was wounded, could possibly not make it out of the hospital. Hopefully they're able to do some "data mining" on that piece of shit with a car battery and jumper cables to find out if any other Chechens are involved.
Boston and its suburbs already gave up their 4th amendment rights to get this guy. Ironically a private citizen found him shortly after they were allowed out again.I hope he gets treated like any other piece of criminal scum should be in this country. Interrogated in the presence of a lawyer, evidence collected against him, and tried by a jury of his peers. We have to be careful about what rights we give up during this interminable "War onTerror." You might have need of some of them later.
Imagine calling your insurance company and trying to file a claim for damage to your boat after a firefight erupts with the bomber hiding in it???

I can image the different gov't agencies trying to absolve themselves of culpability by saying it wasn't their bullets....
Of course if it was federal LEOs who caused the damage, they won't be able to repair the boat due to sequestration; it's not mission essential!!
I think the suspect has a few holes in him, including one through the neck.What I find amazing is not that the boat is full of bullet holes, but that the 'suspect' is not full of holes!?!?
Listen to the gunfire in the below video that goes on for 10 seconds from a number of different weapons. Impossible to tell how many rounds were fired.

Lots of agreement here. And why not. Who doesn't want to preserve our civil rights? But what are we agreeing with? I don't agree that he should be treated just like a common criminal (scum or not). He didn't steal a car or sell an oz. of pot. The implication here, based on the link, is that our civil liberties have been dangerously eroded. I disagree. The linked article bemoans the questioning of terror suspects before Mirandizing. Is that really such an erosion of civil rights? Notwithstanding the "public safety exception" the Supremes have carved out of Miranda, there are many times people are questioned without Miranda being read to them. Happens every day. But to go back to terror suspects and the public safety exception, there is NO threat to the suspect’s rights. The DOJ memo concerning questions under the exception states:I hope he gets treated like any other piece of criminal scum should be in this country. Interrogated in the presence of a lawyer, evidence collected against him, and tried by a jury of his peers. We have to be careful about what rights we give up during this interminable "War onTerror."

How so? Sea lawyer are ye (imagine parrot on my shoulder)? The text of the Fourth reads: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Warrant-less searches have been found constitutional in a number of cases over decades. They typically involve exigent circumstances, emergency situations, hot pursuit, public safety, etc. Any of those exceptions could apply to Boston/Watertown. Clearly people can disagree about what is unreasonable or an emergency situation. In this case, I think you will find very very few residence of Boston or Watertown who were affected by the searches claiming constitutional abuse. You would probably not find a judge who would find an abuse. On the off chance you found that judge and the case of the marathon bomber searches got to the Supreme Court, based on tons of precedent, you wouldn't see them agreeing these searches were unconstitutional.Boston and its suburbs already gave up their 4th amendment rights to get this guy. Ironically a private citizen found him shortly after they were allowed out again.
