Discuss new developments here. For instance, I’m told that the Tweet from the suspect’s hacked Twitter account making the rounds is a hoax [potentially]. Also, it seems the brothers were living here as legal immigrants but were not citizens (according to FOX). [update: new report says naturalized citizens]
Meanwhile, as the day goes on, I’ll be haranguing David Sirota on Twitter. I invite you to join me.
Because among other things, Sirota is trying to point out how “the right” is reacting to the Chechen angle in a bigoted racist rage. As is evident in Tweets from individuals you’ve never heard of that he helpfully points to.
— Ignoring or forgiving his own almost orgasmic desires that the terrorists be white, private school lacrosse players from rich families who, though they may not have actually raped that stripper, probably considered it — and so need to be punished as emblems of white privilege.
He’s also pushing the canard that the brave and professional response from first responders in Boston vindicates the progressive thirst for higher confiscatory taxes — as if red states are the ones routinely threatening to cut funding to first responders every time its citizens say no to tax increases, or as if red states don’t themselves have adequate first responders.
What they don’t have is Cowboy Poetry Festivals; nor do they pour our money into studies and grants seeking to determine why lesbians have an outsized (social) propensity toward alcoholism.
And tell me: what the fuck does belonging to a public sector union have to do with your ability to behave professionally and do your job?
Answer: it doesn’t. Sirota is a pseudo-intellectual posing as a political analyst. He’s a poser getting rich off of pretending to champion the people.
Meanwhile, the dude probably spends $80 on a cut and coloring, and another $100 to wax himself monthly.
He’s everything that’s wrong with the leftist mindset rolled up into one carefully polished turd.
Has anyone thought about how this affects the environment? Look at all those police cars and copters driving around.
The killers’ uncle, interviewed on tv in Maryland just now, seemed to have said the two murderers were born in Kyrgyzstan.

The minute that MIT cop died, the “suspect’s” chances of getting through this alive rapidly descended toward zero. My former LE peeps assure me this is probably the prevailing mindset of the pursuers.
Selective perception is a hallmark of bigotry. You see that which reinforces your stereotype, and ignore the inconvenient stuff that doesn’t.
“Also, it seems the brothers were living here as legal immigrants but were not citizens”
And yet were somehow registered to vote, imagine that.

Wow, Jeff is really curb-stomping Sirota this morning.
The last time I was in Boston, they had two very senior state patrol officers playing crossing guard in the ground transportation area. You know, the sort of gig where most airports use a rent-a-cop or just a guy in a vest, if there’s even anyone there at all?

Early this morning, around 7-8am ET, Fox radio was reporting that the cops were surrounding a particular house in which they suspected Little Brother was hunkered down, but then I drifted back to sleep and there’s no mention of that anymore.

I assume Michael never heard of Beslan school hostage crisis. Not on his radar.

That was from a week ago Tuesday, I believe.

How many cops of every stripe does Boston, Massachusetts employ? Are all these fully kitted out guys homegrown or imported? I thought there were a lot of coppers in NYC, but there look to be even more in Boston.

Has Robert Redford started work on a new film about these two misunderstood revolutionaries? I wonder how his “The Company you keep” is going to play now.
leigh, as I understand it they’re bringing in the po-po from lots of outlying burgs to assist.
Which leaves one to wonder, what are the good citizenry whose local PDs have been stripped going to do if certain non-conforming individuals decide to engage in extra-legal activities? Because people defending their own lives, loved ones, or property is so 18th century and regressive.

Ayers and Dohrn too
Last time anyone tried to ask Bill any questions, he called the Man. Like the little bitch he is.
They just showed the interview with the Aunt of the Boston Bombers. She was kind of pissed at the press and thought they were like kids who didn’t know how to think or see obvious things. It was great watching her cut them off and tell them that their questions were the kind that ought to answer themselves to anyone who was paying attention.
She said something like “Why do your questions focus on emotion instead of evidence? That is not how things work! How can you ask me if I feel that they are capable of doing such a thing? They did it! We saw them do it! We know that they did it! So obviously I have to think that they could do it now! “
My prediction is the press reports that Obama himself captured the terrorist himself. My local idiot radio station was already reporting, breathlessly “That Obama was being brief in the situation room and would be responding to the crisis”, like at any moment, he would fly over Boston and use his Xray vision to find the perp.
Hate the press. So much.

50/50 he gives up or blows his own brains out.
If he wanted to go out in a blaze he’s already had his chances.
Hey, he’s just bombing the footraces Americans won’t bomb.
ThomasD, is that wound on the side a resuscitation effort of some sort? EMS had him at one point since he has contact points taped all over him.
If you want to damage the U.S. economy, you don’t have to bring down the World Trade Center any more.
You just have to let youself get caught on camera carrying a backpack bomb and then elude the subsequent drag net for a day or two.
In fairness, the bomb went off, and they did throw down with the police, so….
Yeah, that big wound looks surgical, probably went in trying to clamp off bleeding.
“They all say “Monsanto bad! GMOs bad!””
I’ve never quite figured out why it’s okay to do any genetic experiment whatsoever with human embryos, but not with, say, corn.
It’s too big for a chest tube. Maybe they tried that and had to do heart massage? They already had him cracked from the side, so I wouldn’t open the chest from the front too.
The thing that I noticed last night from his photo on TV was that he might have had a bit of a cauliflower ear. This photo is much clearer, and does not appear to show that.

Beats me. The same reason it’s okay to eat beef cattle and foie gras but no way! no how! can you eat a horsie. We just passed some legislation to make horse slaughter for meat legal in OK. Our legislators who wrote the bill have been getting death threats from the Animal Rights jagoffs—who reside out of state, natch.
Maybe the pictures were inverted? That happens all the time with our crack new reporters.

Don’t those people get that horses “eat like horses”? Ever since horse meat was ruled off-limits there have been more reports of starved and neglected horses (with fewer legal ways to unload them), especially with our wonderful “new normal” economy.
I’ve been suspicious the shrapnel found in him might have been from Monday. And I shake my head when I hear “too many bullet holes to count.” Too many to estimate, maybe, but any inventory auditor could get you a damned accurate count.
Mr. Ed is off limits because, not being raised specifically as food, they may have received horse drugs that are not safe for humans to consume (phenylbutazone, aka ‘bute.’)
Depends on the bullet wounds, one of the guys from the infamous 1980’s Miami FBI shootout was a dead man walking from the first bullets that struck him. Didn’t stop him from killing a few people before he finally keeled over.
And given the crude nature of their ‘big’ bombs his explosive vest may not have been all that powerful.
Also, that photo is pre-autopsy. Autopsy leaves the great big Y across the entire chest, and they will count every projectile entrance and exit wound.
I only see a couple for sure, and a couple more maybe.
I heard the ‘shrapnel’ from Monday line too this morning on the radio- that’s just confused meaning/terminology. Probably referring to similar kinds,/i> of objects. No way he stayed ambulatory for four days with shrapnel from the first blast in him.
Too many, McGehee, or enough to make sure he wasn’t moving, er, I mean, “a threat”.
So, if we ever get invaded by humanitarian* aliens, the safest thing to do is to takes lots of drugs so they will be afraid to eat you.
*if you have to explain the joke. . .
“they may have received horse drugs that are not safe for humans to consume (phenylbutazone, aka ‘bute.’)”
This is true, though there’s no reason horses couldn’t be raised without that stuff.
Horse meat was sold in Pike Place Market in Seattle in WWII. I’ve seen an old picture of the signs. The big selling point was that it was unrationed.
Interesting to know, I don’t understand what the tie in to illegal immigration is at the end.
they may have received horse drugs that are not safe for humans to consume (phenylbutazone, aka ‘bute.’)
Bute = horse aspirin. The concerns of many over wormers being badbadbad for people are overstated, as well. The same wormers are used in swine raised for food. If were to slug down ‘bute or a wormer for animals it would probably make you pretty sick. After it is metabolized by Trigger it isn’t a problem.
Absolutely true SBP, same goes for Europe. Horse meat being quite popular among some of the older generations.
“humanitarian”
I prefer the term androphagous.
Ever notice how, despite refusing to eat pork, more than a few Muslims end their lives as swine? Very odd, that.

The tie-in to illegal immigration is that we can’t enforce the existing immigration laws adequately, even as the pertain to legal immigrants, and now we’re going to place another 12 million people under bureaucratic oversight? That’s going to end well.

Mark Steyn was saying on Rush’s show that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was out of the country for 6 months in 2012 (?) — which is the kind of thing that screws with your right to stay here — at least it’s supposed to.
Well, you can’t just rush your training.
From all of the first person reports of the good people of Boston, the PD is doing its level best to wing some of them. Umpteen people with bullet holes in their apartments, through their doors, pinging off their sidewalks, zinging through their cars, etc.
You know, the usual.
That’s why we have to leave gun ownership to the professionals. Can you imagine what it would be like if the average citizen had a gun they could use? Mayhem.
It would be especially bad since the average individual would be held accountable for every bullet fired, while the police can apparently throw lead around with impunity.
Way back when after 9/11 I used to read Dan Darling’s sadly defunct blog and Jason Burke about AQ, and the Chechen Wars. I was fascinated about this tiny spot on the continent and how relatively close these savages were. This led me to the Nagorno-Karabakh war, the Bosnian war, and how this assortment of jihadis were getting on the job training against the European. I read about the Pankisi Gorge and how it pierced Georgia like a hypodermic and virtually injected its virus of Salafists. The received wisdom then was that Shamil Basayev was a wholly owned subsidiary of the GRU, and as long as he was playing soccer with Georgian heads, Moscow was happy that Georgia looked east instead of north to South Ossetia. The Battle of Grozny seemed have passed most of the west by, apart of course for those at staff colleges who were determined not to repeat Russian mistakes in urban warfare. Witness the Second Battle of Falluajah. Who would have guessed back then that Chechnya would come again to remind us of savagery on a different continent entirely.
Late to the party, but how pretty is your town Leigh?? There are lovely parts of Watertown. Some parts are even terrorist-free!

I’m wondering what the audience for this “terrorism” is supposed to be. It can’t be the world’s endomorphic jogging community, can it be? Seems as if the “terrorisms” is actually the melee of news Fubars, and the intended audience for it is the alphabet-soup-networks’ viewers.
Just read at Drudge that Bostonians are huddling scared in their homes because of the media/police alarms. Could it be they are terrorism-ed by the alarms, and they would be perfectly safe in the corner starbucks or at the ).

Diary of a Snow Shoveler
December 8: 6:00 P.M.
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat by the window for hours watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!!!
December 9:
We woke up to a beautiful landscape of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a little boy again. What a perfect life.
December 12:
The sun had melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible, Bob is such a nice man. I’m glad he’s our neighbor.
December 14:
Snow, lovely snow! 8″ last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life!! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling., but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.
December 15:
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and purchased a 4×4 Blazer. Bought snow tire’s for the wife’s car and two extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all.
December 16:
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17:
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for five hours. I had to pile blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but won’t admit it to her. God I hate when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20:
Electricity’s back on, but had another 14″ of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day, goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying.Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snowblower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying…..
The rest
I should just sell all my ammo* and get a “coexist” bumper sticker for the pickup.
*at the bottom of the lake, must have own salvage equipment
I love that joke, Blake. Once you’ve lived it (10 years in PA) it’s actually funny again when you don’t have to dig the damned car out twice a day.
Anyway, we don’t actually live in town. We live out in the sticks where the landmarks are the guy with the two mules over yonder and that big oak tree.
Leigh, I lived in MN for over 20 years, so, yeah, I can relate.
You know you are in a small town when the guy giving you directions says “turn left where the barn used to be.” (true story)
Yep. I get that here occasionally.
Bgbear? I’m a thinking that we should get scuba training. At least that way I could get my firearms that weren’t lost in the tragic barn fire back.

Also? I said in the first thread that these were Muzzies…But I still believe that this was NOT let through by accident.
There were bomb sniffing dogs and National Guard all over the train station here in Framingham…Training my ass.
Gunshots again, great. Copters, sirens and booms. Send lawyers, guns, and money please.
One reporterette says her source says Dzh is down.
BOMBER DOWN… BREAKING: SHOTS FIRED IN WATERTOWN – Shots Fired – Was Hiding In Boat
Dude is not dead. He’s hunkered in the boat surrounded by coppers.
I think at this point the cops are here for his protection. There’s an angry crowd gathering on Mt. Auburn street.
With his flippy floppies.
That was last week.
Only not so pretty, what with all the downed trees and poles and power and cable lines
The inch of ice before the snow may have had something to do with it.

Governor Christie Wants More Gun Control
Mostly Swedes and Norwegians and Danes. Oh, an Icelander or two, the occassional Finn. Germans of course.
Lutherans and Catholics abound, yes?
Presbyterians and Methodists too.

And snowmobiles in the ditch that afternoon.
“The inch of ice before the snow ”
that’s what happens when the global warming says hi
No. That’s what happens when you get either an early fall or a late spring snow storm.
But I have heard people attempt to blame it on global warming.
Got that backwards,
late fall or early spring.
Got ’em alive.
I look forward to the advent Dzhokhar’s academic career at an elite American University in 20 years.

Look. Hicklicker sent me a form letter today to answer my email sent to him over a month ago:
Office of Governor John W. Hickenlooper do-not-reply-gov-office@state.co.us
Dear Gary:
Thank you for writing to share your thoughts and concerns on the gun legislation recently signed into law. We appreciate the time you took to contact us.
On March 20, we signed into law three pieces of legislation that we believe will help curb gun violence:
• HB 13-1229 requires criminal background checks at federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) for all gun sales and transfers regardless of how the guns are acquired, with reasonable exceptions such as transfers between family members. FFLs may charge a reasonable fee for running background checks for private sales.
• HB 13-1228 requires the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to collect a fee for performing an instant background check prior to the transfer of a firearm.
• HB 13-1224 makes illegal any magazine manufactured or purchased after July 1, 2013, that is capable of accepting, or is designed to be readily converted to accept, more that 15 rounds of ammunition, limits the capacity of shotguns, and allows the continued use of any existing firearm or magazine owned prior to July 1, 2013.
We have directed the Colorado Department of Public Safety to consult with the Office of the Attorney General and others with respect to the interpretation of HB13-1224’s large-capacity magazine ban, and then to draft and issue, to law enforcement agencies in Colorado, technical guidance on how the law should be interpreted and enforced. This work should be done by July 1, 2013, the law’s effective date.
These laws, coupled with our efforts to improve the state’s mental health service system, will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and make our state a safer place. It is important to underscore that these laws do not ban the safe ownership and use of guns to eligible individuals, and thereby respects Second Amendment rights. By taking these important steps, Colorado has proved that we can use common sense ideas to make our communities safer and at the same time respect the Constitution.
Once again, we thank you for your input, and for taking the time to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Office of Governor John W. Hickenlooper
Have fun, boys:

Good. He shouldn’t be too hard to break.
– 2nd perp in custody. Being transported to local hospital. No info on his condition.
did someone take a hickenlooper?
“the-insanity-of-blaming-islam”
i think camel urine cures that
– Enormous crowd gathering in Watertown.
– Probably lucky for him they’re getting him out of the area.
– Area still being combed for any additional evidence or explosives.
– Police spokesman – “White hat guy has been captured alive. Being transported to unknown area hospital.”
What I see on the television sort of reminds me of the end of Blues Brothers.
– The idiot press has announced the hospital, just to be sure the mob knows where to find him.
Three more arrests in a New Bedford apartment complex where one of these guys lived.
This is a photo of the car the brothers carjacked last night. See if you can see what I see:
http://heartiste.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/biozjmlcqaeogvi-jpg-large.jpeg?w=500&h=375
– Mt. Auburn if anyone wants to join the party.

Correction: where his girlfriend reportedly lived.
Can we blame Islamists, or is that guilting Islam by association?
– Police presser tentatively due shortly at Watertown mall.
So when do they back down the police presence and let people get on with their lives?
Like hell I’d stay in my house. Boston is the “Cradle of Liberty”? Ha!
– Cops pushing the crowd back at the hospital with guns drawn.
Time to celebrate with a massive game of Zombie Tag!
David Sorota’s going to need more lotion and a fresh box of kleenex.
– Father of perps told 2nd son captured. Now tells his son to tell officials everything. “Be honest”. He believes his sons were set up by someone.
The fact that we don’t have a single report yet that these guys were regulars at a local gay bar convinces me that we don’t have a functioning intelligence apparatus in this country.
You’d perpetrate homophobic hoax just for national security reasons?
What kind of suck fick are you?!?!?
The jihadis are already making their youtube tributes and propaganda and we’re broadcasting their fucking sobbing parents instead of how their closest friends suspected incest in the family.
(I know you’re being facetious, Ernst, btw.)
– Change of plans. Heading for Mass general. Probably easier to secure.
– Aside from the irony of having him at the same hospital as the MTI cop he wounded.
Fly him to Gitmo. After all, Cuba is famous for the excellence of its health care.
– Presser starting. Mayor speaking.
– Guy reminds me of Colin Powell.
Deval Patrick wishes he was Colin Powell. Mainly so’s he could wear all those medals.
Will Media Report: Suspected Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Appears to Be Obama Fan
– No. Instead they’ll run articles saying he’s rumored to be a distant cousin of Bush.
Oh, dear. The Unwise Latina herself, Carmen Ortiz, is going to be running the case.
Protip: Unwise Latinas make better strippers than prosecutors. That is all.
Of course, you don’t think that Teh One would put a competent attorney on this one, do you??
Now that it is well known that these are Islamists.
Set up or put up? I’ll take the latter. Dad should ask his jihadi friends.

I don’t care what you say – nobody can be pried out of bed and bothered to trudge through a perfunctory address over a matter of intense personal interest to Americans like Prezzy Obizzy.
aholes got the rop narrative to defend
The time has come for America to begin the healing process, and the Council on American Islamic-Relations is first out of the gate with an appeal for moderation and restraint, weighing in against those who might think ill of American Muslims:
– Yeh. The idea of “peace loving Muslims” is reinforced almost every day.
Won’t be much good intel gleaned from this kid. The dead one would’ve been the prize. This one will provide a show, but little satisfaction. Because, backwards cap tells me these things.
“I thought they were piñatas!”
LEAD DEFENSE ATTORNEY: “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this child was led astray by his disaffected brother, who immersed him in a culture that was foreign to our American values; a culture that caused his temporary insanity. We cannot but be reminded of another American youth senselessly taken from us by wrong-thinking right wingers. You have a chance to right a grievous wrong: FREE TRAYVON MARTIN!”
Obama: “Why did young men who grew up and studied here … resort to such violence?”
I suppose he could ask his own personal friends.
Carmen Ortiz is in charge. She’s awesome if you need to harass a mild-mannered computer geek into suicide, or bully a motel owner.
On a real case? Not so much.
bh: Yes, maybe a blue-ribbon faculty panel with Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, Eleanor Raskin, and Kathy Boudin could answer this question.
This also comes to mind.
Obama: “We Can’t Rush To Judgement About These Individuals Or Groups Of People”
– Hey. You gotta wait ’til the body count climbs at least past a million before you start bad mouthing my homeboys
Unless they voted against my theater piece of a gun control bill. Then they’re bastard people. But people who killed innocent Americans who were minding their own business? You should scratch your chin until you forget about that.
I’ll bet Marco Rubio just wishes this whole incident would go away.
roobs is praying for a recovery summer all his own
good luck with that
These were confused and misguided kids, culturally adrift, no social resources —like midnight basketball leauges— to fall back on. For all we know, they were decieved and/or brainwashed into taking up anti-Islamic activism and participating in this tragic man-caused disaster.
But the sonsofbitches who voted against the President’s sane, reasonable, responsible, common sense, balanced approach to ending gun violence while respecting the rights of gun owners?
Evil bastards, everyone last one of them.
oh criminy in all the excitement I missed hitler’s birthday
There’s always Lenin’s birthday this coming Monday.
Huh? Monday is Earth Day, don’t you know!
And May 1st is Democrat’s Day, formerly known as Mayday.
oh. did you guys not see this?
that explains about the hitler’s birthday
They’re back to that again, eh? For a while there, I thought we’d successfully pushed back (thanks to Goldberg’s first book and whatnot) that Hitler was only ‘right wing’ in the sense of viable German politics of the ’30s. (“You can have any flavor of socialism you want, national or international. We’ve got both kinds!“)
‘Cause there’s next to no overlap between Hitler and American Conservatives of the last 50 years, except perhaps a smidge of Judenhass among the paleocons. But I haven’t actually heard Pat Buchanan arguing in favor of railroad cars and ‘showers’, so even that’s kinda forced.
For a while there, the Left had actually dialed down on the “you rightwingers, you’re like Hitler… from hell!” comparisons, when we had that long list of things Hitler did or wanted to do that American Progressives have been jizzing over since FDR’s time.
Eternal vigilance is called for, I guess.
Every day is ‘crisis day’ and ‘eat your peas’ day. The whole country smells of Chicago now.
NAZI -> nickname for NSDAP
NSDAP -> Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
In English: The National Socialist German Worker’s Party.
Collectivist. Authoritarian. Utopian. Progressive. Just like Leftism. Allied with Socialism and enthusiastically supported by American Socialists until the breaking of the Pact of Iron.
History shows us who the fucking liars are.
Unfortunately they don’t teach history in schools any more, or if they do it’s Howard Zinn’s version.
I had to follow all the news while I was working last night .
I had to explain to a lot of my fellow waitstaff what had occurred, and “what” Chechnya was.
Whatever. I’m glad to spread the word.
Will the liberty loving residents of the town of Waterford notice that their virtual lock-down under a quasi police state yesterday didn’t result in the ostensible object of their discomfort (finding the bad guy), but that the casual effort of observation by a single man, knowledgeable of his own very local circumstances, i.e., his own backyard and property, resulted in the intelligence necessary to locate the perpetrator? That top down worked hardly at all, whereas bottom up worked almost instantly? Let’s hope so, and that the application of the micro-lesson dawns on their consciousness.
Apologies Watertown. I should follow the coffee first guide to commentary.
i think it was a lady who noticed sumthing
Regardless of the sex of the individual as reported (thinking it irrelevant to the question), we might ask whether the fact of “noticing” might have taken place much earlier in the day had the people of Watertown been at liberty to traverse their property and environs (and therefore the perpetrator been caught much earlier in the day — therefore likewise saving the thousands of similarly situated cooped up people in Watertown the waste of the day), or whether being cooped up in the house like a chicken in a pen was necessary to allow the “noticing” to have taken place when it did take place — in which case we may have to celebrate the quasi police state condition rather than denigrate it as ineffectual in the discovery of the whereabouts of the criminal?
Speaking of history, I think the casting of Hitler as a left-wing kook is fairly misplaced. Hitler was only Socialist in name, not in deed. Hitler decided he needed the initial support of the workingman to gain power, and “socialist worker’s party” was the way to get it.
I’m open to disagreement on this, but it’d be good to hear what actual socialist policies were enacted by the German government at the time.
I’m not going to argue counter to the socialist/totalitarian connection, because although the correlation between those two things is strong, you don’t need socialism for totalitarianism.

I am wondering how many splodeydope terroristy types have noticed the lessons of LA and Boston that if you shoot a couple of cops the remaining police go nuts enough that you can bring an entire major city to a standstill.
I then wonder if the cops realize the implications of this.
I then wonder if the cops realize the implications of this.
Would you maybe expand that Bmoe?
my thinking ain’t worth nada
when David Henneberry noticed something odd in his backyard — an untied tarp flapping in the wind:
“statists” is good enough for me. “left wing” or “right wing” means nothing, you either favor liberty or tyranny.
i’m with de bear. it is like arguing which fork in the statist road takes you to hell faster.
Shooting cops is a good way to create havoc and paralyze cities, if that is your goal.
my sirota chimes in
David Sirota says conservatives shouldn’t show sympathy for Boston Marathon bombing victims
Bombing Innocent People at a Marathon: one more in the long list of jobs Americans just won’t do…..
That rather narrows than expands Bmoe, though it’s clear enough where that one aspect of the implication leads. That wedge between the security forces of a society and the society itself has long been a motive in terrorist theory, using the security forces and measures in response to terroist acts as a ju-jitsu against the society the terrorist wishes to attack.
But it seems like there are other implications as well, things to which the police themselves may want to pay heed — such as the friction between the publicly or legally granted powers of policing and the (de facto) assumed powers the police act upon when threatened at the death of a member of their kind (clan? tribe? class? category?) and where they seek to make an example of the wrongdoer for the edification of potential future lawman-killers. As appears in the police shooting up the innocent newspaper delivery women near Los Angeles, for instance, along with the seeming lightness with which that incident was handled after the fact. These other implications, I had thought, don’t depend on terrorist attacks as such, but upon the behavior of the police in the conduct of their vengeance of their loss.
The behavior of the police often gets scant attention, especially when there is any sort of positive ending.
Consider the denouement of this episode. There are multiple reports of an exchange of gunfire – upwards of 20-30 rounds per Fox news last night- upon the discovery of the shitbag. Yet today’s information on his capture does not seem to indicate that the shitbag had threatened or engaged anyone.
Why the need for those shots? What kind of rounds were they? Where were they aimed.? How the hell do you miss a guy trapped in a fiberglass boat? Where did those rounds end up?
At some point, your attempts to defend the populace can instead threaten the populace. Such events deserve as much scrutiny as the security system that did not prevent the bombing. But I doubt this specific example will get much attention.

Exactly.
Exactly. The police appear to be to the point that in events such as these the only safe thing to do is to lock down the city to protect the populace from the police, who then feel free to shoot on sight.
Which means they are actually putting big targets on their own backs for folks that want to disrupt society as much as possible, or it seems that way to me.
Yet in the midst of this day-long loss of freedom of movement, or at the end of it, rather, many of the video images we saw last night from Watertown and surrounding areas were of people widely celebrating the procession of the police down the avenues in triumph, cheering their saviors along, without the slightest evident concern for the darker meaning of the latitude granted (and taken by) the police with vengeance on their minds. The salient thing being, people seemed in the balance to have been happy to part with their liberty on this occasion.
Perhaps the better part of a day isn’t a sufficient length of time to penetrate the general run of folks’ sense of irritation when under control, stirring them to backlash, or perhaps any sense of irritation they may have experienced is merely outweighed by their own urge for vengeance accomplished (even if only effected by the police and not by themselves)? And if the police fired errant shots into homes and property, well, it was someone else’s property, so nothing to be all that immediately concerned about, so far do the police find themselves from having targets on their backs?
How the hell do you miss a guy trapped in a fiberglass boat?
Indeed.
Replace ‘mother’, ‘mama’ with ‘government’ and you’ll have your answer ‘why’.
Ever caught a fish without first baiting the hook?
“I’m open to disagreement on this, but it’d be good to hear what actual socialist policies were enacted by the German government at the time.”
If you listen to socialists they will say roughly the same thing about any socialist project failure you care to name. And the Reds essentially shut down all unions but those who allied with them and then they consolidated and purged those.
– The object is always maximum chaos. somewhere upwards of 9000+ of America’s finest readily obliged.
– At one point the biggest danger was the protectors shooting each other. The mass of law enforcement did not even achieve the singular goal of keeping a badly wounded teen inside the “perimeter”.

“Putting the Socialism Back Into National Socialism:”
But, ‘no true scotsman’ and all that.
Socialism does not scale beyond the level of a family or very small community. It just doesn’t.
Most families are more or less socialist (with, of course, various degrees of totalitarianism involved). Religious communities can work that way too (monasteries and whatnot).
Once the group grows so large that people don’t know each other on a personal level, it not only doesn’t work, it can’t work.
In humorous form:

Man on the street is cool with this and thanks the almighty for the courageous cops who caught the e-vil bomber and kept their city safe!
Are we the only ones who see what’s going on here?
… but could you imagine the hue and cry if a Republican President sent the FBI to Boston and shutdown the city ?
Michael Moore was about the only Democrat to stay in character yesterday, when he started whining about two teenagers shutting down the city of Boston.

City of Boston gave “subsidy” to Boston Marathon jihadists’ mosque
Mitt Romney on Thursday said his former presidential rival gave a “superb” speech at a memorial service honoring the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
“I must admit I was also very impressed with the words of the mayor, Mayor Menino, with our governor, Gov. Deval Patrick, and with the president,” Romney said, speaking on CNN’s “The Situation Room” several hours after the interfaith memorial service at which those leaders spoke. “I thought the president gave a superb address to the people of this city and the state and the nation. It was inspiring day.”

Noodling for catfish requires no bait. Just large quantities of stupidity.
Well, we all know Oklahoma has a surfeit of stupidity, don’t we?
Certainly parts of it. There are some enterprising fellows who have made a tourist thing of it, though. City slickers who pay large amounts of money to stick their arms into craggy holes in the river banks in hopes of dragging out the grand-daddy of all catfish.
Catfish doesn’t even taste good, so I don’t see the point. One of my neighbors sets traps for them and just waits for them to swim in and get caught. Sort of the way people trap lobster and crab. She checks the traps every two days or so and hauls them up on her dock.
I’m kidding, of course. I love Oklahoma, especially the places they used for location filming in True Grit (either version). If I ever won the lottery, I’d move there in a heatbeat.
It’s cheap to live here. It’s just that we’re short on the j-o-b-s, just like everywhere else.
I knew you were kidding, ya dockel.
hooray jeans pair #2 fit ready for catfishing

After Four Days of Speculatively Blaming the Right and Anticipating What Poltical Solutions We Might Need To Address Their Growing Menace, Left Declares That the Time for Speculation and Political Wargaming Has Passed
Couple of thoughts after watching the weekend evening news:
Watching people who just spent the day sheltering in place celebrate the capture of a semi-conscious 19 year old who’d just spent the day slowly bleeding out underneath a tarpaulin in the back of a fishing boat like it was V-J Day, or at least Bin Ladin is dead and barking in hell Day, is, well, awkward.
Secondly, these two guys should by all rights have been an American immigrant success story: good schools, great extra-curriculars, etc. These guys shouldn’t have been isolated, alienated, disaffected losers (and I’m not saying here that that’s what they were or believed themselves to be —because I don’t know what was going on in their heads). So when the public displays of chin-stroking and thumbsucking and navel-gazing get going in earnest, the question we have to ask is the question we won’t ask, because the thumbsucking, chin-stroking navel-gazers fear to know the answer. And that question is: who taught these two to hate the country that took them in?
Because it wasn’t the mosque or Imam, or the websites and chatboards, or the Chechen/Islamist militant group(s) we’ll sooner or later learn about—at least not entirely. Those entities only taught them how to channel the hate they’d previously learned, and the ends to which it could be employed.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312470/Tamerlan-Tsarnaev-Boston-bomber-thrown-mosque-raged-filled-rant-Martin-Luther-King.html
Clearly, Tamerlan was a ‘crazy” Muslim … but he deserved to be run over by Dzhokhar, who obviously had come to his senses, for bad mouthing an outstanding brother, who happens to have a federal holiday named after him.
Conflicting reports now about whether or not Tamerlan was run over by Dzhokhar or shot to death by police. The death picture of Tamerlan sure looks more by death by gunfire. He was not intubated (all that stuff is left on the body after death) so it appears he was DOA.
Why would Dzhokhar abandon an SUV to flee on foot particularly if he were wounded? There is the whiff of bullshit about too much of this story.
the lockdown made it for so everyone was part of a common narrative Mr. Ernst
New Yorkers we’ve learned are passive unthinking sheep-like creatures at heart what fucking LOVE to be part of a common narrative – hardcore real-world brothers in the war against transfats type shit
