Never stated these terroristic events represent all Muslims. People are human, not robots. But people have a right to be angry and upset about what has transpired over the last 5 days. It is being reported that the 2 had ties to radical Islam and also reported no one associated to them saw this coming from them. With the growing Muslim population in this country, my point was that if people look at Muslims and their religion with a little more caution and concern, so be it. People are human. BTW, Sioux-cia made reference in posts awhile back she is starting to feel less comfortable and safe in large crowds. Why??? That's a normal response and frankly understandable. But again, why?

Nothing to own. 9/11...ring a bell? And now this. Let's agree to disagree. You think I'm a racist. I think you're a _______. (But I'll pass on the public accusations) Let's call it even. Least the brother's father sees things clearly and claims his boys were framed.

You seem to be of that ilk to throw out the "racist" card when it fits your ideology. I'm kind of in the same boat as Fetch...I don't like Muslims that don't like us (USA). If that makes me a racist, well... If you want to have a big group hug and believe that will make everything better, knock yourself out.

Privy to what every other person in this country has...cell phone and TV. Just going by what is being reported by our unbiased, straight shooting media is putting out there.

Pretty ballzy in light of this Boston situation to say a posted "comment" on this site puts "zero value on life" when 3 are dead and 170+ injured. And you wanna talk about "zero value on life"!!! Everyone is very tolerant and loves duckies, bunnies, unicorns and rainbows...until they get their legs blown off! "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

I see your point but the problem is it was "those people"...again. This Boston situation was an Islamic Jihadist terroristic act...it's not the first and won't be the last but let's not water down the significane that this was another radical Islamic attack on this country. If this makes people take a different look at the Muslim community as a whole in this country, well...

So are we gonna now ask for a ban on pressure cookers?

One more dangerous than the other when used as they should be...for cooking and not bomb making. Seriously...

Will that order include crock pots?

We are a society of convenience!

Nay, nay...just bad guys WITH guns!

Where in this thread has anyone called the rounding up of all Muslims? And how is this scenario in Boston at this point in time anywhere near the OKC bombings? I guess I struggle to see the correlation with what you have posted above.

An uncle of the brothers that was interviewed called them "losers" and that the family was "ashamed".

So he won't be getting a second date with Eddie then???

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and sounds like at duck, it's a duck. This disaster had foreign terrorism written all over it from the get go.

Reports now are potentially linking the 2 brothers the the Islamic Jihad Union of south Asia.

The one killed was reportedly run over by a police car during the initial gunfight. Waiting for someone...3...2...1...to cry out that's an inhumane way of killing of a terrorist.

Yup. Take #2 "out" and get answers later. Brothers from Chechnya it's being reported by AP.

Pretty sure I know the agent if it was in the oil patch.

My bad...I'll try again. Really? I thought at our age most had had enough of Family Ties reruns.

Classic! But not surprising.

Really? You must have a wife more willing than mine!!!

You control what you can and prepare and then let the rest go...and pray.

Thanks

For a good portion of those under state medical assistance and/or federal medical assistance under the age of 50, the ER has become their PCP. They abuse it the most and it's not even debatable.
