Do you think they should kill the Boston bomber, or keep him alive when he's caught?
I think that they shouldn't kill him & keep him for questioning. Ask him why he did it? What was his motif? Does anyone else agree, or disagree? Also thoughts on the Boston bomber, anything you'd like to throw in
Orlando shooting, why don t people blame the FBI?
So let me get this straight: The FBI have interviewed this guy twice, had him under surveillance at some point, and now they cannot know how he grabbed an "Assault Rifle" and a Handgun. Give me a F***king break!! You re telling me that the world s most high-tech intelligence agency in the world cannot know whether someone has grabbed an assault rifle? Second of all, how easy is it to buy an assault rifle in the USA? Isn t there one purpose of doing so? A handgun I can understand, as it can be used in times of defence, but an assault rifle is clearly a gun used to kill masses of people. Sorry, I don t believe this story one bit! Just another reason to fuel the hatred and cause sectarian divide in the US, which now includes gay people.
Did police shoot the Boston bombing suspect in the throat before arresting him and without reading him his miranda rights?
He was in a shootout with them. Since when do cops have to read you your rights before returning fire?Miranda rights are not some magical formula that cops must recite before they do anything to you. They are only a formula that must be read to you before they can question you - after taking you into custody.So, no, the cops had no obligation to “read him his Miranda rights” before shooting an armed suspect who had fired at them already and had not surrendered.
Is it true the FBI investigated the suspects involved in the Boston attack several years before the bombing?
Yep. Per CBS News:FBI interviewed dead Boston bombing suspect years agoApril 19, 2013(Excerpts below)The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.As first reported by CBS News correspondent Bob Orr, the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, the elder brother of at-large bombing suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, at the request of a foreign government to see if he had any extremist ties, but failed to find any linkage.Both Tsarnaev brothers were legal permanent residents of the U.S. CBS News correspondent John Miller reports it is likely Russia asked to have the elder Tsarnaev vetted because of suspected ties to Chechen extremists.The FBI is likely to have run a background check, running his name through all the relevant databases, including those of other agencies, checking on his communications and all of his overseas travel. Miller reports that culminated in a sit-down interview where they probably asked him a lot of questions about his life, his contacts, his surroundings. All of this was then written in a report and sent it to the requesting government.This is an issue they've had in the past. They interviewed Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, Ark., before he shot up an Army recruiting station in 2009. They were also looking into Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings.However, the FBI has maintained in those incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law.Although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers' mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.
How to make a bombs like in the movie shooter?
Solidox Bombs Most people are not aware that a volatile, extremely explosive chemical can be bought over the counter: Solidox. Solidox comes in an aluminum can containing 6 grey sticks, and can be bought at Kmart, and various hardware supply shops for around $7.00. Solidox is used in welding applications as an oxidizing agent for the hot flame needed to melt metal. The most active ingredient in Solidox is potassium chlorate, a filler used in many military applications in the WWII era. Since Solidox is literally what the name says: SOLID OXygen, you must have an energy source for an explosion. The most common and readily available energy source is common household sugar, or sucrose. In theory, glucose would be the purest energy source, but it is hard to find a solid supply of glucose. Making the mixture: [1] Open the can of Solidox, and remove all 6 sticks. One by one, grind up each of the sticks (preferably with a mortar and pestle) into the finest powder possible. [2] The ratio for mixing the sugar with the Solidox is 1:1, so weigh the Solidox powder, and grind up the equivalent amount of sugar. [3] Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder, and sugar in a 1:1 ratio. It is just that simple! You now have an extremely powerful substance that can be used in a variety of applications. A word of caution: be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process. Avoid friction, heat, and flame. A few years back, a teenager I knew blew 4 fingers off while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox. You have been warned! SolidOx can no longer be bought in KMart. A plumbing and heating supply store, or even Sears may have small quantities for sale, at about $18.00 for 10 stix.

How did they catch the Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev?
Here's a short but detailed account of how they apprehended the suspect from Slate.com:Police used a robot, flashbangs, and a thermal camera to apprehend second Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Friday night, as Boston police recounted in a press conference shortly afterward. But it was a citizen’s alarming encounter with the suspect that proved to be the key in finding him.As explained at the press conference, Tsarnaev had managed to elude police because he was slightly outside the search perimeter that law enforcement had set up. But all that changed when a local man stepped outside and noticed blood on the boat in his backyard. When he pulled back the tarp covering the boat, the homeowner “saw a man covered in blood” underneath, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.After the local man called 911, officers responded to Franklin Street. Law enforcement also dispatched a helicopter equipped with a thermal camera. Using the camera’s thermal imaging, they were able to confirm that there was a live body inside the boat.As more and more officers swarmed the scene, they sent in a robot to pull off the tarp, to get a better look at the suspect, and perhaps to see if he might still be armed with explosives. With the tarp off, police tried to talk Tsarnaev out of the boat, but he was “uncommunicative,” the commissioner said. After throwing several flashbangs in an effort to stun him, they took the suspect shortly before 8:45 p.m. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said that it was not necessary to give him his Miranda warning immediately upon arrest, as there is a “public safety exemption in cases of national security.”Tsarnaev did not have any explosives on him at the time he was captured, as the commissioner revealed at the press conference Friday night, though he said that “handmade hand grenades” and “improvised explosive devices” were thrown at police during the shootout on Thursday. It was also during that shootout that police believe that the suspect was wounded, and he was taken to the hospital in “serious” condition, the commisioner said.Source: Here’s How They Got the Second Suspect
What was the faker's name seen on TV at the Boston bombing with the supposed legs blown off at the knees? He was actually a vet that lost his legs in an Iraq roadside IED incident.
How dare you. This is the most insensitive question I've ever seen posted, and an insult to the HUNDREDS of people who lost limbs when a pair of cowards blew up 2 bombs in a huge crowd, killing 4 and injuring hundreds more. I hope you never experience such vicious random violence, but don't disparage those who have. Again, how DARE you.
Boston Marathon Terrorist Attacks (April 2013): How did the FBI first identify the Tsarnaev brothers as the primary suspects?
Jeff Bauman, 27 yr old man who lost both of his legs in Boston blast helped FBI in identifying the bombers. As soon as he gained consciousness, he asked for pen & paper and wrote: "Bag, saw the guy, looked right at me." He looked into Tamerlan Tsarnaev's eyes minutes before bomb went off. He went on to give further description of the bomber which helped FBI to close on to suspects from video footage.Source: Bomb victim Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs, helped ID suspects from hospital bed
What kind of life does an FBI field agent like?
I briefly only worked with analysts. Their work is mostly like other jobs in intelligence. In one case during the same time, I was asked to help on a kidnapping. Things were urgent. And I learned a few things in confidence with that current case as well as a major crime that I probably should not get into those details (it made a lot of news) with one agent's past. One potential high-level source might have been to approach the Russians for overhead imagery. That would have required the Director-level approval, and that was apparently the limit (in the end the Russians were not approached; it was a long shot anyway). The Special Agent in Charge (SAC) was basically cool, calm, and paced his actions (he's now retired). They have to be. They have charge. Everyone else was rushing; we knew we were in a race against time. In the end, the kid was found dead. This turns the kidnapping into a murder, and the Bureau bowed out at that point. The SAC is aware of the stats from past crimes. Everyone has to sleep, and so do SACs. The murder to this day is unsolved, so the case is still open.One amusing outcome was an amusing voice mail during the case from the FBI shooting range. You could hear automatic weapon fire in the background. Later, I was able to duplicate something like that out in the Nevada desert. Several things: the Bureau is a bureaucracy. They pirate MS software like everyone else to get work done. It is still at heart a older white boys club. It's populated by guys who want to kick in doors. Just ask women and minorities who work for the Bureau. It's changing slowly. Internet stuff is still looked down upon. Hoover would probably roll over in his grave.SAC private life is just that, private. Some are just normal people. A few others have psychological problems common to the intelligence community.If you want to work for the Bureau, contact them. View their web site on employment. If you have a club or a class in the USA, you can ask their Public Affairs Office for speakers.
Is the FBI lying about their knowledge of Florida School shooter Nikolas Cruz, similar to when an FBI agent was caught with the Garland Texas shooters?
I know of no evidence that the Bureau is lying. More to the point, how could anyone know one way or the other, at this juncture?It was a dropped ball. A fumble. They���re bing upfront about it. What is there to lie about?I mean, what do you suspect? That he was a secret FBI informant, and they let him alone, knowing that he was going to go on a shooting rampage, because the info he was providing was more important than some kids’ lives?
