Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83,846]

Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

But not Muslims...huh?
It is universal, independent of the type of religion. Read Altemeyer.

Actually, they're both Chechen Muslims.

Actually:

For bombing suspects, question may be who led whom

Dzhokhar became naturalized last September, federal officials told the AP. His older brother had a green card but may have been thwarted in his quest for U.S. citizenship by an assault charge, his father told The New York Times.

He should be charged under treason laws.

That is a tendency of Right Wing Authoritarians.

I doubt, in his defense, PeteEU is a right wing authoritarian.

Anyone who opposes left wing craziness is considered right wing though, even the vast majority in the middle.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]


Right! And supported by left wingers!!

Good one!

I remember saying at one time, shortly after the Berlin Wall fell, that Communists would soon be known as 'right wingers', just as Nazis and Fascists before them. I've since seen it a couple of times but not often yet. But I must give you some credit in claiming, the first time I've seen it, that Islamic terrorists ("Not all Muslims are terrorists!") are supported by the right.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

But, they weren't born here...right? That's what I thought.

I don't think treason applies, here.

I think it applies if the goal is to wage war on the US government while a US citizen. The C isn't all that clear on who falls under it anyways:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

But, we're not sure that treason is the case, here.

Besides, Obama will never allow a treason charge be levyed, because that would mean that his padnah Bill Ayers could be tried for treason, since there's no statute of limitations on treason.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Consider that foreign source, none of that has been verified by any FBI here. There has been far too much false info already.

It's the FBI that suspects an operational cell.

Where's the official FBI statement about that then?

Not to mention GW Bush.

Religious fundamentalists are right wing groups by definition. Not all right wingers support all right wing groups though. Evangelists are right wing supporters that are welcomed by the GOP.

I guess you've never heard of Jim Jones.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

He didn't kill any americans

Once again you are horribly wrong....

"John Phillip Walker Lindh (born February 9, 1981) is a United States citizen who was captured as an enemy combatant during the United States' 2001 invasion of Afghanistan in November 2001. He was captured and detained at Qala-i-Jangi, used as a prison. He took part in the Battle of Qala-i-Jangi, a violent uprising of the Taliban prisoners, during which the Central Intelligence Agency officer Johnny "Mike" Spann was killed, together with all but 86 of the estimated 300-500 prisoners. Brought to trial in United States federal court in February 2002, Lindh accepted a plea bargain; he pleaded guilty to two charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole."

Your quote does not say that he killed, or took part in any killing, of americans
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

And again, completely wrong....From the same link....

"On February 5, 2002, Lindh was indicted by a federal grand jury on ten charges:[33]
Conspiracy to murder US citizens or US nationals"


Stop while your behind.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

He should be charged under treason laws.

I like to see him charged for murder of his brother when he ran over him.
