All I got to say is:

I think our LE did a great job in this.

What is inhumane about it?

I think that's exactly what he deserves. If only we could replace every death penalty sentence with that, I'd be happy.

Put them all in one of those Supermax cells with a picture of their victims on the wall. I think that'd be a great punishment.

Another thought may be the fact that the older brother wanted to box for the US olympic team, but that dream was shattered when he was denied citizenship.

I think there is a difference between Protective Custody and Solitary Confinement. It also depends on who charges him, the Feds or State. Massachusetts (I have read) has the death penalty for cop killers, whether the college campus cop meets that criteria or not I don't know for that state.

On the FSB, they knew since years about the fundamentalist background of the older brother, and thus had set their eyes on him and is family. No Putinistic conspiracy is needed to explain the FSB's interest, then.

And they tipped the FBI on its shoulder and told them to better watch them. Cooperation between intel services like this is nothing spectacular, but common practice - even between states not having the closest of ties.

It's amazing how desperately everybody and the media try to ignore and hide the role that Islam once again played in motivating these Muslim terrorists. The Chechnya wars always have been a confrontation not only for territorial sovereignity, but also about a religiously motivated confrontation. Which in Islam in the end is the same.

Uh Oh looks like this thread might have to be merged with the Gun Control super thread. It appears our bombing suspects didn't bother to get a licensee for their firearms.

Oh dear, you mean Terrorists don't obey the laws? What is the world coming to? :haha:

I don't think anyone's been trying to ignore it or hide it. Certainly over here the news keeps harping on the fact that the dead one went over to Russia and had ties with extremists. It's hard to do anything more than wildly speculate at motives when up till now, there's been no statements or answers from the perpetrators.

I think what he really means is that the media isn't running "ITS THE MUSLIMS" as every second line in every broadcast during the ever repeating 24 hour news cycle.

Indeed. Far from ignoring it you would be hard pushed to find any news outlets which are not reporting it.

The article seems to suggest that the new legislation would have stopped them from getting, or keeping the guns. Hello, they didn't have a license to make bombs either! :dead:

Precisely :har:

And yes they sure did :rock:

But if you buy fertilizer used in making bombs in any sort of large quantity, you'll get a visit from Mr. FBI: http://abcnews.go.com/US/page?id=12992118

But nope, we can't keep track of gun sales. That'd be un-American. :doh:

Useless comparison. The fertilizer sales are strictly voluntary reporting to the FBI according to your link.

No surprises here then:

No, it's a great comparison. Track every sale, require ID and send the FBI their way if they're buying "large quantity of pesticides, combustibles, or fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate out of season or with cash."

But if you're on the terrorist watch list? Heck, buy all the guns you want. The NRA made sure that was legal.

And if that same notice went out in regards to guns instead of fertilizer? You can bet the NRA's collective heads would explode.
