  • Another quick question - What was the political agenda being carried out by the brothers?

    I keep hearing "terrorism" but am having trouble seeing how this fits the definition...

    • I haven't heard anything about where they got their guns or explosives... probably just bought everything legally. I wonder why Obama hasn't jumped all over this.

      Also, haven't heard a single talking face on cable news ask the question either.
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        Other than the nebulous claim of jihadism (supported by his brother's online footprint), I don't believe anyone knows for sure yet. Interrogations are still ongoing iirc.

        • Maybe watching people run in terror for ****s and giggles? I have no clue either. I think the thought process must have been something along the lines of
          1. blow up marathon
          2. ???
          3. profit!
          or something of that nature.

              Police in nearby New Bedford, where the younger brother may have lived in the past, could not confirm on Sunday whether they had issued Dzhokhar Tsarnaev a firearms ID card.
              also, how long a drive is it to new hampshire? they are all freedomy about such things

              • The guns were illegal but the explosives you can get at home depot, if it's black powder like I've heard. Well, you can get the ingredients at home depot, and it's not too challenging to mix them. Saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal is all you need.

                  Yeah, it is nebulous but the event is almost universally referred to as a terrorist act. Violence w/o the political aspect is just violence.

                  • Wezil, "just violence" doesn't get more funding for DHS.

                          Just violence doesn't attract the attention of foreign governments.

                            Were you using charcoal briquettes for your grill? Those don't work.

                              It's amazing how the USA view of Russia/Chechnya issues changes after 9/11.
