So, am I the only one who is shaking my head?

Terrorists explode bombs in American sporting event.

Sweep has been done of area where bombs explode and no bombs found.

Terrorists have lived on welfare in the US.

Terrorist is not on watch list because his name is misspelled.

Terrorists carjack a car to drive to NY to explode another bomb, but car runs out of gas and they can't make the trip.

An MIT policeman is mysteriously murdered in the night sitting in his car.

Terrorist 1 runs over terrorist 2 killing him.

Terrorists' mother claims the bombing was 'staged' by the US.

Terrorists' father is going to come to US to cooperate with the investigation.

Terrorists' parents can no longer be located.

Terrorst 1 gets medical care in same hospital as his victims, who are anxiety ridden because he is there.

Terrorist 1 finally gets moved out of hospital where his victims are being care for.


OK, I would call this a comedy of errors. But it is actually a tragedy. How many levels of stupid are going on here? So many that I really have trouble identifying them all.

I'm busying myself trying to find a thing that authorities did correctly. Will return with an answer in a few weeks.

 

[clownboy]

A stunningly inaccurate summation of events designed to I suppose make the police and the FBI look bad? Let's hope you don't write computer algorithms for anything vital.

 

[ThePlayDrive]

Yeah, it's one of those situations where if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.

A lot of things seemingly went wrong prior to the attack and after the attack. I'm not sure that I find fault with the government's actions (barring the misspelling) because I'm thinking that any surveillance they would have done on the dead bomber would have been encroaching on civil liberties.

As far as the bomber's comedy of errors, it sounds like two young, immature dudes who didn't have a plan. It's kind of amazing how two people can perform such an adult act with such juvenile brains and behavior.

What is the point of this thread? Is it to bash government for not reading the terrorists minds? Does the OP want the US to go war on Chechnya because thety're harboring the mother of American terrorists? Or is she pissed the father of the terrorist is coming back to the US to speak to the FBI? Is she angry because terrorist #2 didn't get his own private hospital? Or medical treatment before he could talk? Or does she think our American justice system is stupid because they didn't detain an American citizen long enough before reading him his rights? What? What is it exactly is the OP trying to say? It's a mystery.

The mother is clearly out of her mind. When asked if she had seen any of the evidence or victims, she just ticked and went into ~"something is wrong! I want to know what happened!" Yeah, something is wrong, lady - with you.

Although I will say, someone so capable of inventing reality does explain, to some extent, how she managed to raise two completely ****ed up kids.

An appalling list of erroneous falsehoods and misrepresentations masquerading as reportage. Your media sucks. I think it was CBS who had three reporters on camera at the scene, hunched over their blackberries trying to find out what was happening on Twitter.

 

[APACHERAT]

How many levels of stupid are going on here?

What we have been experiencing the past 4 years and 4 months is the most incompetent President and administration in America's history.

Every member of Obama's Secretary Cabinet members are second rate. Especially Secretary Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security and the Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder. Didn't Obama say back in 2008 that if he was elected to judge him by the people he surrounds himself with ? Yes he did.

During the past 4 years and 4 months the only competent members of Obama's administration were Gates and Panetta and they are gone.

The only comedy I wittnessed which crossed the line of stupidity was that the worse President in America's history was reelected.

and it was CNN that was reporting constantly that it had nothing to report.

A couple of stupid kids set off a bomb and killed and wounded several people. A heinous crime.
Then, they hijacked a car, but they had to stop for gas and let the car's owner get away.
The owner of the car that they hijacked called 911 and so the two criminals were caught, one killed and one arrested.

So, by their own stupidity, the would be terrorists were stopped from setting off more bombs.

The remaining criminal will never again see the light of day, which is as it should be.

End of story. Not really all that exciting, kind of sad really, but it leaves us wondering, why?

Meanwhile, Mom exposes herself as a total nutcase, thus shedding some light on possible reasons why.

The "Black Berry."

Damn the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Defense and ARPA, the profits made by the military industrial complex during the Vietnam War that were directed to developing the internet and what followed.

If the U.S. military knew that America was going to be dumbed down by the internet would they have abandoned developing the internet ? I doubt it, it was all about winning the Cold War.

And those in the world who go to their computer's and start pounding away on their PC or lap top key boards or pick up and make a call on their cell phone or are what is being twittered on their smart phones should remember that 2.6 million American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen served "in-country" and there are 58,000 names on that "wall" who paid the ultimate sacefice so you could twitter.

It's amazing how many current technologies have their origins in government funded R&D. Almost everything to do with communications for a start. Apple wouldn't exist.

Oh, I think it's stranger than fiction in a lot of places.

As of last reading, and I only read mainstream news, mom and dad are nowhere to be found.

Did you miss the part about Mom saying that the whole thing was a setup, and all the blood was really red paint?

Terrorists have lived on welfare in the US.

Terrorst 1 gets medical care in same hospital as his victims, who are anxiety ridden because he is there.

As for the first, they were children and they were legal residents. Are you saying we should stop giving out welfare to children because they might someday become terrorists?

And gee, they were taken to the same hospital as the victims, what a shock here!

Welcome to the world of triage, where injured people are taken to the closest hospital that can take care of them. It all has to do with where they are when they are injured, they do not look and go "Gee, this guy is a Muslim, we have better not take them to Beth-Israel Medical Center!"

:doh

And Lee Harvey Oswald died in the same hospital that JFK died in. Once again, that just happened to be the closest one that could deal with that kind of severe injury. So I absolutely fail to see where you are going with most of this.

I don't recall hearing that JFK had a lot of anxiety over it.

As to triage, I am fairly sure I know more about it than you do. Patients are not always taken to the nearest facility. Many times they are taken to a specialty facility because the nearest facility is not equipped for their problem. There are various levels of trauma care. Trauma center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As to the welfare, perhaps you should read further. They were on it as adults. And the older one had his wife and family on it as well. Now that they have terrorized our nation, I think they should be billed for restitution, not only of the damage to the city and the victims, but also for the welfare.

Wait a minute, am I crazy? let me check to see what I said again.

Welcome to the world of triage, where injured people are taken to the closest hospital that can take care of them.

Yea, that's what I thought I said. I did not say "closest hospital", I said "closest hospital that can take care of them". This is why for example President Reagan when he was shot was taken to a hospital that was further away, but had one of the best trauma centers in the country.

And do not be to sure of knowing more about triage then I do. My spouse of over 25 years is a nurse, and I am stationed in a Hospital unit. SO needless to say, I am not an idiot on what triage is and how it works.

And I could not care less about somebody having "anxiety over it". THat is not my freaking concern, keeping individuals alive however is my concern. If somebody has anxiety over this and feels butt-hurt, then I say they need to go talk to Dr. R. Lee Ermey.
