He's out of Beth Israel Hospital and into Fort Devins federal prison. So there's that, which is nice. Despite his having admitted that the pair had a religious basis for mounting their attack, the lamestream media are now busily searching for what may have motivated them. They must be terribly disappointed to find that it wasn't a TEA party plot, timed to observe Hitler's birthday. Some are considering whether the older one's infatuation with boxing is responsible in some way; others are blaming the Internet and American wars.
Like man-made global worming, it must be America's fault.
Authorities have released the body of the older brother involved in the Boston bombing, but local Muslims have declined an uncle's request for a funeral and burial. Apparently following through on a statement made earlier this week, the Imam of a Boston-area mosque refused to open it to hold a funeral for the guy.
Earlier this week, Imam Talal Eid of the Islamic Institute of Boston told The Huffington Post: “I would not be willing to do a funeral for him. This is a person who deliberately killed people. There is no room for him as a Muslim.”
It is both unexpected and to some degree gratifying to see such leadership from a sect most commonly associated with homicide and mayhem.
That's what Katherine Russel Tsarnaev claims through her mouthpiece, at this point. She says that Suspect #1, her husband, was supposed to be watching their toddler daughter when he was out planting bombs. It appears that she works; he did not.
Well, what's the point of watching a daughter, anyway? She'll just grow up to become a worthless woman, after all....
The guy who was carjacked by the Boston Muslims says they told him that they wouldn't kill him because he's not an American. So, there's that. Such good Muslim boys.
And the idiots have begun
crawling out from behind the molding, claiming that the surviving Muzzie, "Jahar", is innocent. There are several active sites, but the highest concentration appears to be on a site called "Twitter". The drool and slobber is thick, there, replete with illustrations of the superior intellect of the participants.
Amusingly, the Twitter hashtags are already getting trolled; it appears that a number of folks are in disagreement with the whole innocence meme being promulgated.
Meanwhile, much to the relief of supporters, Jarha has been Mirandized. He apparently gets a public defender, which seems a little odd: after all, the lads had enough cash to send the older one back home for six months; that can't have been cheap. And they had cash for guns, ammunition, and pressure-cookers. Since there's one brother who doesn't need defense representation due to the fact that he's assumed ambient temperature, you might imagine that Jarha and his family could scrape together enough cash to pay for one.
Looks as though Li'l Kimmy Un's going to have to hire a good PR company to get his name back in the news; here in the USA, anyway, it's all about Boston and the bombers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. There's some interesting stuff coming out about the lads from the police, for example: the Watertown Chief says that older of the brothers started walking toward his officers, blasting away at them. Unfortunately, he must not have been very good at counting, as he ran out of bullets. This allowed one of the officers to tackle him, according to the Chief but as three officers surrounded and cuffed him, the younger brother hopped back into a stolen car and tried to run the cops down.
Sadly, the cops got out of the way, and he ended up running over his own brother. According to the Chief, that's what killed the perp.
As well, reports indicate that the younger brother, now handcuffed to a hospital bed, has a throat injury which may limit his ability to answer police questions. Oddly, that didn't seem to bother him much during the ambulance ride, as it's been reported that the lad was cussing a blue streak all the way to the hospital - which, ironically, is Beth Israel. That's really got to perturb his delicate Muzzie sensibilities.
Anyway, now that it turns out that the perps aren't white right-wingers, the Lefties are crawling out from behind the molding to lecture us all about blaming a group for the actions of one or two, blathering on about how these guys had lives, and families, and loved music, and yadda yadda. Apparently, they prefer not to notice that these things aren't being done by Jews or Christians or Hindus or Buddhists or atheists or animists. In fact, they prefer to ignore that common thread: Islam - the most violent and arrogant ideology on the planet.
But for what it's worth, the Mirror claims that the FBI thinks the duo were part of a twelve-member "sleeper cell" of terrorists (though how they arrived at that number is unclear), and that they were specially trained to carry out the attacks. Be that as it may, the pair certainly seemed to behave, for the most part, more like military agents than like your standard, garden-variety street thug.
Obviously, if only stronger gun bans laws were in place, these guys could never have carried out such mayhem. Oh, wait - Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Nevermind.
As the hunt for those responsible for the Boston bombings was underway, many in the media - particularly in the so-called "progressive" media, made clear their hope that the perp or perps would be angry white male conservatives. Their worst fear was that the perps would turn out to be exactly who they were: Muslims.
As the chairman of the House subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence calls for increased surveillance of Muzzies, and as four Congresscritters - including, of all people, John McCain - call for Obummer to treat the surviving guy as an enemy combatant rather than as a common criminal, the media spin cycle has already begun:
The Brothers Tsarnaev grew up in an environment of conflict and bloody violence, and are, therefore, victims. They are traumatized, not terrorists -- at least, not terrorists who are motivated by their Muslim faith, even if that seems apparent. Even if it's proven that they have links to Middle Eastern or other Muslim terrorist groups.
As a blogger at American Thinker predicted, that's exactly the line peddled by The New York Times.
Meanwhile, after taking credit for the capture of the survivor, president Barky urged us all not to rush to judgement against groups of people. Of course, that was last night. Two days previously, it was a different matter entirely, as Barky was not only calling people liars for daring to kill his gun control bill, he was encouraging Americans to rush to judgement against a group of people. Different day, different spin.
One thing seems abundantly clear, however: despite sympathetic portrayals in the media, these two perps - as the four Congresscritters note - much more than mere criminals; they weren't out for financial gain, and they didn't use their bombs to try to blow up a bank vault. They set out to kill and maim Americans, and they had acquired the skill-sets necessary to construct not only shrapnel-filled bombs, but even grenades - which they lobbed at police during a chase which ensued following their decision to murder a seated officer in cold blood. These aren't the acts of common criminals, and the survivor should not be treated as such.
It's unfortunate that the survivor was actually caught; it seems that had he been left alone for a few more hours, he might have assumed ambient temperature, thereby saving taxpayers from any further expenditure of resources:
In a photo of authorities apprehending Dzhokhar released Friday, a SWAT team medic can be seen administering an "ambu" resuscitation bag to assist him in his breathing. Another photo shows Dzhokhar climbing out of the boat under his own power, following the commands of the HRT (Hostage Rescue Team), and Miller said it is clear from the images that, "this is a guy who was very weak at this point and probably -- had he not been discovered -- he might not have lived."
On the one hand, taking him alive gave Boston residents reason to let off steam in celebration, and it gave Barky another opportunity to claim credit for himself. But on the other, we have to pay for his treatment and subsequent trial, which seems a needless additional burden. Especially in view of the fact that it costs next to nothing to dig a hole in the ground.
Muslims in Burma aren't sawing off peoples' heads or stoning them to death or blowing things up. They have neither the time nor the resources for any of that. That'll happen when you tick off the wrong people. It appears that Muslims were blamed for setting a Buddhist monk on fire; he died Wednesday. Since then gangs of Buddhists, including monks, have been cleansing the area by fire. Several homes and mosques have been torched, some two dozen Muslims have been killed and set on fire, and the military's been mobilized to move into town; apparently to contain events before they spiral into a repeat of last years' Muslim/Buddhist battles, which killed at least 200 and displaced thousands.

The head of the Colorado prison system answered his front door at around 8:30 last night, and was immediately shot to death.
Tom Clements, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Corrections was shot and killed at his Monument home when he opened the door Tuesday night at approximately 8:30 p.m., according to police.
Authorities are reporting the gunman is on the loose. They are searching for a late-model, two-door, “boxy” style vehicle, similar to a 1990s-era Lincoln. The car was described by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office as dark and shiny in color.
A K-9 unit sent to the crime scene has not been able to turn up anything, leading some to consider the possibility that the murder was a professional hit.
Last week, Clements turned down the request for transfer of convicted rapist Homaidan al-Turki to Saudi Arabia. In 2006, al-Turki was convicted of repeatedly raping an Indonesian maid that he kept as a virtual slave in his basement in Aurora for four years.
In addition to his sex crimes, al-Turki has been tied to al-Qaeda member Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike for his role in the planning of numerous terrorist attacks against the United States. Al-Turki’s publishing company owned the rights to a number of Awlaki’s jihadist sermons and he was reportedly in contact with the now deceased terrorist.
If returned to Saudi Arabia, Turki would likely have been set free, as under Saudi law, four eyewitnesses are required in order to convict a man of rape. Saudi King Abdullah opposed prosecution of Turki, and the Saudi government reportedly paid for his defense.
Turki seems to be really important to the Saudis. Possibly important enough to murder the 58-year-old man who denied his release.
h/t DANEgerous, who notes that this will not be reported in lamestream media. A local FOX affiliate, however, noted:
A source familiar with the investigation who refused to be identified by name because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said the Al-Turki connection right now is the main working theory behind Clements death.
Meanwhile, Colorado Governor Chickenpooper signed "gun control" measures into law.
The so-called "Palestinians" have never actually had a "homeland"; historically, they've been landless migrants, wandering about from place to place, settling briefly wherever they could find better conditions for subsistence. Jews have been accused of displacing "Palestinians" (who considered themselves to be "Arab people", not "Palestinians") when in fact Jews never completely left their ancestral Holy Land - though many were driven out during various occupations.
Their present country was divided up in the 1920's accords, and nearly 80% of the area was given over to Arabs. The nation of Jordan is composed in its entirety of former Jewish homeland.
The so-called "Palestinians" of today have historically been bands of roving connivers, and though they've been permitted to settle in Gaza - Israel went so far as to destroy Jewish settlements there - they continue to rain hatred (and bombs and rockets) into Israel. Barky, who will soon deign to visit the country, claims that the Israelis aren't interested in peace.
Yet they're so interested in peace that they closed all entrances between Gaza and Israel in order to limit access by terrorists. As a result, the "Palestinians" have dug dozens of tunnels into neighboring Egypt in order to bring in supplies of food, clothing, and weapons.
But even the good old boys of the Muslim Brotherhood don't like the palestinians, and so they're blowing up the tunnels wherever they find them - or flooding them with sewage. And like rats, the poor palestinians keep digging more. It really says something about a populace when even their fellow Muslim Arabs despise them.
All views are welcome here, but there are a few rules that most understand intuitively. If you're stupid, you need them spelled out. So this note's for you:
1) You don't get to call people names (referred to in general parlance as an "ad-hominem attack").
2) You don't get to hijack discussion threads. This means that you confine your comments to the the post, and/or to comments related to the post.
3) You don't get to spit, drool, crap on the carpets, nor employ expletives - even if you believe that doing so showcases your vast intellectual capabilities.
4) If you happen to be stupid enough to be unable to comply with the above rules, you will receive one (1) warning - after which your subsequent comments may be removed, and your comment privileges revoked.
