Sad Day in Boston

[Structo]

Is there any end to man depravity?

What a horrific day.
What did an 8 year old boy do to deserve that and the scores of others dead or gravely wounded?

Yes, the violence perpetrated yesterday in Boston was evil, horrific, and depraved. It's getting a LOT of media attention right now (mostly drivel from well manicured plastic media types with nothing intelligent to say, but hours of broadcast time to fill/sell). What happens on our southern border every, single day rivals Boston ..... and the media is mostly silent on that scourge.

It's all a matter of priorities and perspective ...... and rating points.

Nice cruise missile Tom! Now, where do you aim it? Yup we got AQ and all their pals. Also "the enemy within" which could be one or a couple people and who knows where they are - maybe next door, or in the apartment upstairs or down, and who knows what color or stripe they are. The refrigerator-white All-American veteran Tim McVeigh did a number on OK city didn't he. SO - I'm in agreement, whoever did it deserves a good stompin', and I wouldn't waste something as expensive as a cruise missile unless it was really necessary. But let's find out WHO first. So far, not much in the way of clues. Stay tuned...

Say didn't tsutt warn us last week "things are about to get - interesting."(':roll:')

Let's ask him!

I wish it could bring back my friend who was in the top floor of that tower and never found.

Some people are fucked up.

LG, I immediately thought about this yesterday based on the events.

No paranoia i just see things for what they really are. Things are going to get interesting real soon. Have a good day all.

Find them, interrogate them as roughly as necessary, if they are citizens strip them of their citizenship and summarily execute them.

One hundred years ago in the Philippines, there were a number of terrorist attacks on US forces there by Muslim extremists. General "Black Jack" Pershing had fifty terrorists captured and bound to posts for execution. He had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the terrorists. His soldiers then dipped their ammunition in the pigs' blood and summarily executed forty nine of them. His men dumped the bodies in a pit and covered them with the remains of the two pigs. They released the fiftieth terrorist unharmed.

For the next 42 years there were no Muslim terrorist attacks anywhere.

I no a girl that ran in the marathon.My wife was tellin me bout it right after iit happened.I guess it went off right after she crossed the line.They are all ok though.

I don't no what to make of things anymore nothin makes much sense to me. Lord please help us.

Ah the good old days. Gen. Pershing knew EXACTLY where to get 'em. But we're so "politically correct" now that any soldier or officer that undertook such a method would wind up in Ft. Leavenworth making gravel the old fashioned way. Wise of the General to leave one alive to tell the story - there's another twist that's repeated over history.

Col. David Hackworth also: "You gotta out G the G" was his watchword. G being guerilla. Another version of "to catch a thief you gotta think like a thief." Hack was one of the rare field officers who really did their best to prevail in Viet Nam.

As for brutal interrogation, it doesn't work so well. Better cooperation can be gotten by treating the suspect with respect, and even offering treats. Coffee, cigarette, chocolate, food etc. And an occasional blood-curdling scream from down the hall plus a reminder that the good times aren't going to last. They're hardened for torture, both theirs and ours. But nobody's looking forward to having their situation go from relatively comfortable to much much worse.

There's all that, and at this point still could be "the enemy within." And what do you do with that?

If it's outside terrorists, then I am guessing we will start another war against a country that had nothing to do with the terrorists themselves. I am pretty sure DPRK had something to do with it. Let's get em.

If it's the enemy within, then we will have to enact bomb control laws in addition to more gun control laws.

Hopefully the current administration is smart enough to avoid mis-assigning punishment. That mistake has been made once and cost the USA plenty - thousands of lives, tens or hundreds of thousands casualties, plus trillions of dollars wasted. One possible clue is the "pressure cooker" bomb has been popular in places from Pakistan to Bhutan so somewhere along the Himalayas maybe somebody don't like us. But then again anybody could build anything. The "enemy within" sure would be happy to have it taken as a "false flag" attack and thereby divert USA attention & reaction.

Laws schmaws, we have zillions of laws. They cover just about everything. We have damn little enforcement plus all too often "intelligence" that isn't. Even the CIA has turned itself into the 6th armed force (via drones) rather than concentrate as they should on intel gathering & analysis.

I view drones as the evolution of war. They are a cost effective substitute to some cockamamie, protracted (and unwinnable) ground war or large scale/permanent occupations.

For every terrorist you kill, two more start swinging from the monkey bars to replace that one. Drones are the remote scalpel that cuts out the cancer where it starts, and hopefully before it spreads. Neat and clean. Yes, there is ALWAYS collateral damage. Such is the price when humans insist on killing each other tit for tat, over what? F*cking religious dogma and/or some stupid, psychotic ideal that is always about control and oppression of others.

Escalation is the price of 7 billion people all trying to fit where 1 billion should be.

People...we're such odd and confusing creatures. Take out the cancer with drones, but don't hurt the woodpeckers.

Woodpeckers don't fly planes into buildings or maim people at the finish line of a race.

Humans are the self-appointed apex predator, deciding who/what lives or dies at a whim, yet the least fit of the world's species in terms of survival. That is what is paradoxical to me.

[Reeltarded]

There is a way to communicate where everyone will live in peace but you have to first kill about 70% of humanity to start the conversation.

There is a reason for a Fermi Paradox. I am ok with that. I am not likely to be a spectator to the end of time.
