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

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

Let's start with IED's, eh?

Then we'll talk about the other stuff.

Um, IED's are already illegal and so is murder...LOL!!!

How about banning bomb recipes on the internet?

Sure. Whatelse are you going to ban, before you remember that there is a such-a-thing as the 1st Amendment? Maybe burn a few books, first?

Oh, wait...I know...let's ban all speech that we don't like and when it doesn't do a damn thing to stop these kinds of incidents, we can back off that and do something else. Wahtcha' think?

EDIT: BTW, Tavarish didn't learn how to build a bomb out of a crock-pot, from the internet.

A FB friend in Cambridge said he heard a shoot out is underway in Watertown.

Besides the obvious First Amendment arguments, you do know the internet isn't controlled by US law, right?

I don't consider making bombs is free speech. Sorry. Oh dear, I hope that doesn't upset the NRA.

New reports of guns shots in Watertown

:lol: Nah...I wish that people didn't feel a need to have that knowledge, but it is free speech.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Breaking news....

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

So, going to war with a nationality justifies wishing death upon their entire people?

Can you imagine the number of innocents who have died at the died to at hands of the US government, who, according to your reasoning, should have that same justification?

We didn't go hunting Chechens they went hunting for us. It WASNT their war. They came of their own accord. And YES I am justified. Just as I imagine there are more then a few people that are very justified to be hunting us. However the Chechens aint one of those.

We can just pass a law that gives the Feds authority to censor the internet, as it sees fit. There's no way that could ever get abused.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Seems as though a shoot out may be under way....Is this it?
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

To kill, arrest and deport hundreds of commies. Probably saved the country from the same fate as Europe.

Do you realize that some 2,000 of the arrest warrants issued by Palmer were subsequently declared as illegal?
Do you realize that only 5% of the people arrested in the Palmer raids were subsequently deported?
Do you realize that Massachusetts District Court Judge George Anderson made a legal ruling that Palmers actions were illegal calling Palmer's agents "a mob" and ordered the release of people still held under the raids and that ruling stood?
Do you realize that the Palmer raids are considered by many including Felix Frankfurter , Foscoe Pound and countless judges, legal professors, attorneys and experts as one of the worst travesties against civil liberties in the last 100 years of American history?

Heh, Moot doesn't understand the nature of the network that is the internet. Any law we pass would only apply to US sites.

Good lordy, I wouldn't go that far. I think that would be one uniting cause for the both the left and the right. But I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI were keeping tabs on anyone who reads those websites with bomb making recipes.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

I want to know how the **** this kid got away on foot? What is this Grand theft Auto?

That's the answer and it's already being done. Has been for some time against the objections from civil rights groups.

Hopefully they got this bastard.

That's exactly why we have the 1st Amendment. Because some people don't understand the difference between instructions on making IED's and actually MAKING an IED.

What you're talking about, will cost lives. HTH and brake fluid, mixed together, make a really awesome firebomb. Don't you think it would be in the interest of the public good, that people have access to that information, so they don't store their pool cleaner and their brake fluid, together?
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

The target is on the rear of a boat. Still moving. They are forming a parameter. Apparently a family in a nearby basement.

Happens all the time. Consider police are slow and cautious to approach such a scene when the firing stops. Especially when bomb and grenade throwing was part of the incident.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

I hope he's still above room temperature, because he could be a wealth of information. If they don't let him lawyer up, that is.
