Thread: GunFight At MIT

You guys are a bit behind the ball...

They already confessed to the crimes, (the bombing and shooting the MIT cop) they both actually did when they jacked the guy's car and let him live.. Guilt is not in question hasn't been since that guy gave his statements..

The only question now is how the live one is charged

In Federal court they have 48 hours to question him under the public safety staute
as an enemy combatant they have over 30 days..

Either way he will end up in Federal court, the difference is that time period and possible appeal problems later down the road...


The pic of the live one standing behind that now dead 8 yo kid, after he placed the bomb and the smirk on his face, will get him the death penalty, of that there is no doubt...

i just saw that picture last night , with the boy , his sister ( who lost a limb ) and the backpack , and the guy walking behind him !! the mother was also injured badly and i had saw she had emergency brain surgery from shrapnel but i cant find it anywhere !

The slimeball who bought it in the gunfight got off easy IMO. There is no punishment our society can deliver that is harsh enough to cover what those guys did (or any terrorist for that matter).

I also feel for the people in Texas. Had this Boston bombing not dominated the news this week, their explosion (which was many orders of magnitude bigger and deadlier, though apparently accidental), would have garnered much more attention (though I don't know that that would have helped them any, to be honest). I don't think the media feeding frenzy ever does anybody much good, unless it brings in charitable aid, Red Cross donations, etc.

My heart goes out to these poor folks who were victims of this tragedy. God willing the mother of the slain boy will recover without brain damage. Even so, she will never get over the loss of the young man. How many lives have been seriously damaged by these two miscreants ?

Still, it is lucky they weren't more up on their game. On April 7 a suicide bomber killed 26 and injured many more in Iraq. We see these reports and they have become so routine we don't even take notice anymore. So many dead or maimed over the years since 9-11. Terrible state of affairs.

Turns out (from what I just Read) that the older brother was alive and cuffed on the ground,He was killed when his bro ran over him,twice.

No doubt, death penalty? Don't be so confident.

Now the real work begins. They need to find out if this was an isolated event or a conspiracy and who else might be involved and what else might be coming. if this guy lives and agrees to spill the beans on others maybe preventing more they could give him a deal with life imprisonment. We don't know. Time will tell.

other then the 2 guys 1 / girl they brought in to ? from where the one alive lived they also took 3 people in from Maryland but it wasnt reported what for or if they were under arrest !!
besides if he gets the death penalty chances are after all the appeals he will live longer then most of us !

Death penalty will not happen to a 19 yr old kid,even under the feds,Jump to the future,He was brainwashed bye his bro that learned to make bombs etc his attorney will say,He sustained massive blood loss which in turn caused Nuerological damage,you cannot execute a brain damaged child.
Granted his crimes were the worst of the worst and I am very sad for his victims,But,he has no priors,he is loved by his friends who have nary a bad thing to say about him. he was raised in a war torn country for half his life,his bro was the perp that he followed.
I would bet he will spend the rest of his life in a mental institution,or at the very least be deported.
His attorneys will have a hay day with this,they will become famous win or lose,think O.J Simpson.Life is not always fair or just.

I heard reports about three, a woman and two men, who lived in his off campus dorm, being taken in for questioning, but nothing since.

i just saw a debate on FOX ( i think ) where a lot of this was brought up .. the debate basically claimed the same you mentioned above , and the other argument was that Timothy McVeigh's defense was gonna try to use some of the same for his defense( about not being right in the skull , and brainwashed from book readings , pamphlets ect. ) but since he was linked to White Supremacist , anti- government , white , and right wing he didnt stand a chance and there was no sympathy for him from the start , where as in this case sympathy has already been granted before he was even captured .. the closing argument was unless he has good info to deliver the prosecutors will show the pics of the injury's , blood soaked ground , and finally the picture Glen and I had mentioned earlier about the bomber with his grin as he dropped the bag near the young boy who lost his life to seal the deal for a death penalty prosecution !!
