Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
They dont yet know whether it was the act of another mentally ill individual or whether it was nation/state sponsored terrorism, but if its the latter, I think we have to respond in some fashion, once we isolate the perps. U.S. Citizens are not military combatants and thus should be protected from these rogue acts of desperation from some global group who feels slighted.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
You have ZERO idea who did it, but your first response is more death? Why would you even suggest that it is a foreign group?

You're right.
It must have been the Amish, or the Quakers...

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
Yea, you're right. There have never been homegrown terrorists in the US. Not on April 19th. Not in Oklahoma. Not in Texas. Especially not on tax day AND Patriot day.
This is pretty funny, huh?

Obamas Initial Response
quote:
WASHINGTONPresident Barack Obama, responding to the explosions at the Boston Marathon, says the United States does not know "who did this or why" but vowed that whoever is responsible "will feel the full weight of justice."
He said: "We will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable."
Im just saying that if it is discovered who did this, I agree with Obama. We simply cannot ignore such hubris.

Re: Obamas Initial Response
What HE said is the equivalent of "if you kill someone, you will go to jail".
Wait a minute Obama...you mean if you catch them you won't just release them? What kind of asshat leader are you?? /s
What YOU said was the equivalent of "I'm not saying it was dark skinned people, but if it was dark skinned arabic people, we should bomb their country".
A bomb goes off in America and you rush to blame "them" with "them" being foreigners because your idiot box has you brainwashed into believing that terrorists live in the desert in the middle east, pray to allah and have brown skin.

Its either that or a disturbed domestic individual. Im not suggesting anything yet...we shall see. And what would be your response, were you a national leader? Turn the other cheek?

So if they're brown, they are terrorists, but if they are White Americans, they are "disturbed domestic individuals"? What the fuck?
Im not suggesting anything yet...we shall see.
No, you are actually suggesting it. "I'm not racist, but.... (here's something racist as fuck)"
And what would be your response, were you a national leader? Turn the other cheek?
Do not put words in my mouth. Secondly, since you are so keen on an entire group of people taking the fall for the fringe sector, you should have NO problem when I ascribe creationist tendencies to you and liken you to the WBC.

Re: Calculated terror or Domestic Insanity?
You just like to argue!
Do not put words in my mouth.
Why not? You seem to enjoy putting racist motives in mine.
The fact is that this was an act of violence.
If the perpetrator (of any ethnicity or color..it doesn't matter) is mentally ill, give them justice.
If the perpetrator or perpetrators--of any ethnicity or color--were aware of what they were doing, I agree with Obama. Bring them to justice!!

So you are saying the people who did this should be punished.

Well I think it was domestic, because a Muslim would have had the bomb attached to him for the extra helping of virgins.
Given which, I think it was a lone nut, because the target was simply as many people as possible. Domestic terrorists with an actual cause would have attacked something symbolic (what exactly would depend on their ideology and what they're upset about. But very few people can be upset at marathon runners or ideologically opposed to them).
Therefore, I think it's some guy from Boston who just hates everyone and wants to feel important.

Looks domestic to me, like the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. Organised terrorists generally claims "credit" for their acts.
