Boston marathon bombing

[mantra]

The boys' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, speaking to Russia's Interfax news agency, expressed doubt over his sons' alleged involvement in the marathon bombings.

He said his children "were set up by the secret services because they are practicing Muslims."

This is a possibility.

Dzhokhar, a baby-faced 19-year-old who was captured late Friday, was an all-star high school wrestler and a student at the University of Massachusetts whose Twitter feed resembles that of an average American teenager.

Neighbours and friends interviewed by US television networks described him as hardworking and kind, expressing shock at his alleged involvement in Monday's bombings that killed three people and wounded over 180.

He was a lovely, lovely kid

You get people that say, 'Oh, I know him. He's not capable of this.' That's what I'm saying to you. I am just one of those people.
Larry Aaronson, talking about Dzhokhar

"He was a lovely, lovely kid," Larry Aaronson, a neighbour, told CNN when asked about Dzhokhar.

"You get people that say, 'Oh, I know him. He's not capable of this.' That's what I'm saying to you. I am just one of those people."

Another extract from Boxy's link. If these boys were "terrorists" - surely the father would be proud of his sons' alleged involvement? The FBI has got it wrong before.

Why would a lovely kid and his brother be armed, killing police and stealing cars etc, etc, etc....?

Big hole blown in your argument there mantra.

Nah. Somehow they've became estranged from their parents. Doesn't sound like he'd have a clue what they've been doing

The lefts war on intelligence vs the war on terrorism:

Islamist: We will rape your women, kill all homosexuals, cut the throats of animals, kick your dog and blow up Americans and drive Isreal into the seas

Lefty scum: Youse guyz are great YEAH! Stand up to the corpocracy of the US and the meeja joooos. What was that first thing you said, I didn't quite hear it...ah doesn't matter, youse guys will help us bring down the murdochracy. Yay for us- can we be fwiends?

Islamist: Sure, sure infidel. Just keep up the undermining of your sovereignty and helping us slip into the countries undetected and make excuses for us that it was someone else. When we attack, we will make sure that we don't blow you up and when we establish the caliphate you will be well rewarded.

Lefty scum: You mean more national parks, saving the whales, gay marriage and free money?

Islamist: Decapitation and 72 virgins.

I guess even terrorists who make bombs, steal cars and shoot at and kill police have people who think they are 'lovely'. It takes a 'speshal' kind of person to believe it just because they read it though

Well, exactly. It's what makes the quotes in the article pretty much a stereotype of the profile of "the lone gunman" type of nutcase. There are always interviews with their neighbours, saying "I can't believe it's so." Most humans are good at masking their anti-social tendencies.

It'll be interesting to find out what the older brother was questioned by the FBI about, years earlier.

Wasn't he done for bashing his woman?
