Yes it's sad about this kid squandering his life, but much sadder for those poor dead and maimed.   Hopefully catching him alive will allow authorities to determine who else might be involved and prevent future attacks, or to find out that nobody else is involved.

Oh indeed, and I didn't mean to neglect the victims of course....I can't even imagine what those families are dealing with right now, on top of the physical injuries, they may well have much difficulty feeling safe in public. 

Obama said it well tonight, what a sh*t week.   Well, not his exact words, but that's what he probably wanted to say.  It feels like the whole country is breathing a sigh tonight. 

As one Tarantino character would say, I hope they go medieval on him.

Classy...

I wonder if there is any truth in this. A scapegoat is always necessary in these instances but how could the police get it so wrong? I hope these suspects are the real deal and not just set ups as that would solve nothing.

I would think it's natural for any parent to not believe their offspring could do this kind of thing. We'll never know for sure, of course.

For now at least, the people of Boston feel like they can breath again.

Sorry.  We get a little emotional when people kill innocent children and maim a whole bunch of people.  But hey, you send him some flowers while he's in the hospital.  I'm sure that will cheer him up.

"classy" should never be uttered around such a monster- are you joking??

Two losers put bombs in the middle of big crowds killing three people, injuring over a hundred, leaving quite a few of them handicapped for life. I'm not sure a manhunt wasn't warranted.

Yeah, I mean great they did catch him but as KoL said. it was martial law over one person that they actually couldn't find for  almost a whole day, until a regular citizen found him dying in his boat?
The thing is all this is difficult to say because even I see how it was successful and justified, 100% but it's a precedent is all I'll say.


Sorry I gotta agree, the use of classy was perfectly acceptable. Sorry to all the victims, but this mentality is disturbing. My god its like we want mob justice and just skin all these people alive. Let emotion of the moment run everything...Not to be mean but what Evolver is basically saying is he grew up there so it impacts him so harshly.
Sooo if you lived in like LA you wouldn't feel the same?  Anger and hate are not the ways to fight anger and hate I thought we knew this.
Not that we shouldn't feel terrible, how can we not?? Innocent people were killed. Just ya know, at best we get a brief passing comment  about the tragedy in Texas...it wasn't terrorism so who cares they died?

Thing is neither do I or most really.
Well maybe some truly feel for him, but I really hope he rots in jail and lives his life in misery.
I just don't have the feeling of joy over torturing and wanting brutal mob justice. Sorry give me all the philosophical or real life example ya want, I've said my mind and that's that.
And ya know I'm sincere. Not trying to be different or any of that sh*t. Even after we had Bin Laden (which btw I was close to 9/11 and saw all the nightmare from my home) I was appalled by the actual cheering and partying over his death. That's all I repeat, glad it's over and he'll face justice but hate and anger just feed more.

Stone me all ya want
