Boston update (Page 6)

Good call......that's a piece that'll be interesting to hear.

As opposed to them only hearing one side in the classroom? Seems a little close minded to the very thing you're encouraging. Sorry, I couldn't just let that sit out there. End of my involvement on that topic in this thread.

Couldn't find a particularly odd Segway but I did find a Ferrari.

Perhaps you meant "segue" ?

LB?

Just trying to lighten things up.

300mph and the battery lasts 30 seconds

To continue with a little levity.  Apparently the room mate/friend of one of the bombers has this license plate on her car.  Probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but now she's one of the three that's being held in custody and investigated.  Obviously I have no clue if she's involved or not, but I'm thinking this plate isn't helping her cause.

Here's a link to the whole story:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312123/Boston-latest-Terrorista-1-license-plate-friends-Boston-bomber-arrested-female.html

I wish I didn't have to see their stupid faces every time I log onto my computer.  Maybe I need to switch off yahoo as my homepage.

Another thought I had was how hard it would be to be one of the doctors or nurses who have to provide care for the captive.

The license plate is not so funny right about now.

There's a special place in heaven for people who care for their enemies (literally) like that.

Agreed.  ...and there's a likely a hotter special place due south of there for people who urinate on enemy corpses.

I just read the older brother had apparently shouted at an imam in a Cambridge mosque about 3 months ago.  He was kicked out of the prayer service that day, apparently for being upset the imam held up MLK as a person to emulate.  I just wish folks at the mosque could have intervened somehow.  Then again, I can imagine myself in a church seeing some big jerk do something similar...and I doubt I'd intervene.  Ugh.  

That's the thing. At what point do you know someone is just saying things versus when they'll do something. If we locked up everyone who says something incendiary, what good is the first amendment?

I don't think the solution is to lock up every Muslim, Christian, Atheist who says something nasty about our country. Lutherans on the other hand...

Exactly, hence my "ugh."  It's so difficult.  So much gray area.

This seems so true Mad-dog.  I like the saying that the line between good and bad goes right down the center of everyone of us - sigh.

Also, just for the record, I don't think the young man was kicked out of the mosque but the members spoke with him and calmed him down.

According to the Chief of Watertown PD.....

During the gunfight in Watertown, after about 10 minutes....#1 got out of cover and was approaching a Sgt, firing his weapon, when he ran out of ammo.  The sgt, TACKLED him before #1 could reload.  Two other officers assisted in trying to handcuff #1.  Meanwhile, #2 got in the SUV and tried to run over the 3 officers.  The officers dove out of the way, barely, yet #2 ran over #1.  Dragging him for about 30 feet.  The speculation is this is what killed #1 (he was still alive being handcuffed) as #2 was just trying to get away.

got it- thank you.

Makes me even more surprised he was taken alive
