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

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

I can't believe I have to actually explain this stuff to some folks.

Here is the information in the link you posted

In evidence, the public-safety rule is an exception to the Miranda rule. The public-safety exception allows into evidence an otherwise suppressible statement made by a defendant relating to information that the police needed at the time it was made in order to protect the public. If, a victim tells the police that an assailant had a gun, and upon the suspect's arrest the police find a holster not a gun, then they would be immediately entitled to ask where the gun is. Therefore, under the public-safety exception, the suspect's statement of the gun's location would be admissible

There is not a single word in there about the police NOT having to extend Miranda warning and rights to suspect for 24 hours.

Now can you explain why you made a claim, provided a link which failed to back it up, and in doing so pretended that you did so from some superior position of knowledge when you had nothing to substantiate your actual statement?

We don't know yet how much involvement he had. At the very least, I would think he would be an accessory in commiting an act of terrorism. This will be interesting...Some of those at Gitmo were deported eventually, weren't they?

It's just so awful what the people in Massachusetts just went thru................................

Upon further review, I concede that I acted as much of a hack as others did.

My bad.

Have a glass of Ovaltine. It cures most things later in the evening. Hemlock, not so much.

Oh, I definitely agree. It makes one realize just how suddenly unforseen things can change your life! :eek: Who was it that said something like "live each day as if it's your last, because it might be." We all need to wake up and stop fighting with each other, IMO.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Great job. Ideal ending. Hopefully, important answers are forthcoming.

My fear is, how many sleeper cells just woke up, and what and where is it going to happen next.

Such will be the rest of our days.

He might blow up the dog.

they are expensive, I just had a dog handler testify in a trial yesterday

Or put him in an outdoor enclosure with a Qtip and a package of microwaveable bacon..................................
I don't get it...

Hemlock is the perfect cure. Socrates would attest to that! He never had to worry about anything again... :shock:
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

I bet they'll attempt to try him as an enemy combatant. That'll be a hard slog.

I bet they won't. I bet they try him as an American citizen of which he is. Either way he's screwed so what difference does it make?

True. I do wonder if he had some digestive discomfort right there at the end, though. It would be terrible to go out with a BUUUURP! as your last comment.

The Obama administration has changed the definition of enemy combatant, so it doesn't apply, which is a shame. But, we'll see. In order for such a definition to apply under the previous definition, it seems as though we would have to declare the enemy to be radical Islam, which would be a stretch anyway, although appropriate.

Wonder why they sprung the extra cash for rechargeable batteries in their pressure cooker bombs. Did they think they would get to use them again? Just one of those odd lingering questions.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

My computer is tired. Good night all. Glad they got him. Sleep well, Boston.

There were police at the train stations even here in CT. The whole thing was like a nightmare, it was just awful............................
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Ok, that makes 2

Name a terrorist that killed americans who did not, or is not, facing the death penalty

Though it will probably be some time before they come to an official decision, I'm certain that the Feds will pursue the death penalty for this guy

And right on cue we have someone ready to point a finger back going "Nuh uh! He's on your side".

And people wonder why the political climate in this country is so ****ed up. Because of **** like this. Both sides cherry picking information aiming not to get anywhere near to a rational and realistic discussion on something but simply trying to push the best selection of propaganda to rape the bodies of the dead for their political purposes.

Wonderful to see this sickening mindset goes around to all sides.

Such invididuals are often rooted in political ideology and they do have a side. Bronson is just such a unrealistic hack that he equates every single bad thing that has happened, is happening and will ever happen as leftist. That's just plain idiotic as we all know. I acknowledge the leftist terrorist and I know they are out there. Like the unibomer, ELF and most of those idiot anarchists who always destroy **** when there is some world meeting of some type... all with the mentality that they are protecting things on earth.

Then there are the right-wing ones that most often are tied to religious fundamentalism and can often carry that whole prepper thought process that almost crave the end of the world scenarios so that they can carry out their roll-playing fantasies. These often have the mentality that they are protecting things that are unworldly and in the name of God.

That being said, yes, people are jumping soooo damn fast to label and blame. And it started well before these two asshats got theirs. I was reading all the finger-pointing as accusations in here as whiny preemptive defenses before these two were even known to anyone.

I think the Boston PD did awesome. I wonder how much fed help they got or if they needed any. Database and tracking info and whatnot. I think as soon as the pics were released, it was all over. Power of the people got them.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

But are you surprised he was a Muslim?

No. I just didn't expect them to be Chechens. Maybe Lebanese or even Syrians. Chechens was definitely last on my last.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Dude got shot, and his brother got caught. I hope, if found guilty, that they fry that piece of ****.

Last? Not Guam?

That you want the US police force to torture suspected criminals says a lot about your moral standards.

Sadly that is exactly what is going to happen. The crew that does that ****, has already been called in and he was not read his rights on arrest... so basically he will be treated as those at Gitmo or worse, regardless of the principle... innocent until proven guilty.
