Watch movies much?

funny you say that, when you already thought this:

Maybe the terrorists have decided painting a bullseye on their chest by claiming responsibility was a dumb idea after all their comrades have holes in their heads?

terrorists don't want to hide, they want to be known. If the "purpose" of the attack was not proclaimed, then there would be no reason to attack.

I'm guessing it's some anti-government nutter.
 
Read history much?

Ted Kaczynski
Timothy McVeigh
Eric Rupert Rudolph
Bruce Edwards Ivins

Do you?

They have turned up in past bombing plots by Islamic extremists in the West, including a plan by a U.S. soldier to blow up a restaurant frequented by fellow soldiers outside Fort Hood, in Texas. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, according to a joint FBI and Homeland Security intelligence report issued in July 2010.

Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen gave a detailed description on how to make a pressure cooker bomb in the 2010 first issue of "Inspire," its magazine that only appears online, in a chapter titled "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom."

Funny you say that. In your own link it says it's one soldier using it against others. Want to know something interesting about those names I mentioned? Three of the four were either former military or contracted by them.
 
How many people have been killed by guns since the bombing?

How many by drunk drivers?

How many by preventable medical accidents and leack of health insurance?

It's funny how we assign media coverage.

Uncommon occurrences get more media coverage than common occurrences... who would've thought!? Someone better alert the media... about the media! 😱

That's one factor - which hardly justifies continuous hours 2 days in a row now when there's really little to say. Those other killings aren't 'common' for the people involved.

I read many of that stuff on local media... there is just not enough media time/airings to cover the all above stuff you stated happening in just So. Calif alone...

Anyhow I think you are lost... this is not P&N...
 
Oh thats awesome. Just yesterday the bleeding hearts on IMGUR were posting all kinds "stop assuming its muslim arabs" stuff. Would be funny if thats who it actually turned out to be.
 
yeah..that would be..."funny."

😕

The bomb has already come and gone. Nothing I can do about that even if I drove to Boston right now.

Now is the time to make fun of all the PC idiots who've been running their mouths the last two days.

My VFW post put together a care package for the victims, does that make you feel better.

you are a fucking moron.
 
yep and:



oh wow, that is the improperly accused Saudi student, no? How about that. way to go, internet, crucify away. fear fear fear....



...exactly 😉

here's the thing--there is clearly some value in having more eyes look at photographs, but the problem with mob justice is that you are at the mercy of idiots, bigots, and agenda-driven paranoids.

an earlier poster said it best in referencing the internet investigation as successfully identifying the next Richard Jewel.

granted, the FBI did investigate this man's apartment early on and such is expected, but he was never identified in any type of report--it was only the work of charlatans like Fox news and the Post that subjected him to the public sphere and here, in this thread, his image has been posted several times already, again again, and imagine that effect across internet forums, everywhere.

Don't you know me better than this? :'(

You do know that the image you posted and the Saudi student in your link are two different people, right? Or do all brown skinned people look the same to you?

You I expect it from. You are the target.

I was agreeing with you--though it appears that you using that example, and I supporting it, was equally as hasty as those making the same conclusions from falsely linking uncorrolated events and images.
 
You sure? How?

If you read both the article that you linked and the one posted earlier from the New Yorker ("Saudi Marathon Man"), the Saudi in question was injured by shrapnel and seen fleeing the scene....much like everyone else. He was detained and questioned while being treated int the hospital.

The dude in that pic appears to not be injured in any way, and he is also not fleeing from anything.
 
Ahahaha, all the "experts" going through pics on the Internet thinking they identified the bomber. LOOK!!! A BULGE IN A BACKPACK!!! Hahahaha LOL, so fucking what?

Reminds me of the tools doing "research" to prove it was a conspiracy like Sandy Hook. What a joke.

i really would love to find out what makes people do this stupid shit.

As a thought experiement, consider this:

Imagine there's a big red button, which if you push it blows up the planet.

Now, it doesn't get much worse than that.

But ask yourself, if everyone had the chance to push, it would anyone? Why?
 
Shortylickens would like to comment for his hurtful, offensive comments earlier.

It was never my intention to disparage any muslims, arabs, or IMGURians in this thread. My comment was a general one about all the folks on the rest of the internet jumping to conclusions.


Thank you.

mod spank?
 
1. Yes they are. The 1st suspect will get his life ruined by the media.
2. Why you mad?

I don't know why you bother with these morons, Tommy. The guys here are just jerks. You have NASA written all over you and you waste your time with these inbred monkeys. I have to admire your spirit.
