None of those countries go around poking the beehive.

All those countries believe - live and let live.
I seem to remember a Madrid...something or another...oh yes, subway bombing.

Yep, I called the profile on the terrorist at first reaction to the events details.

Meanwhile, 10 people I talked to said they thought it was a "white radical extremist"

Statistics > media (especially when its serious issue)

Being right is sometimes a tough job.

Tamerlan on the walked to the targeted area with seem firm determination while his younger brother lagged behind, standing next to each other the older brother looks far more confident and self assured and his younger brother with that sort of what am I doing here and just plain goofy expression and hat turned backwards. So I won't be surprised that it was the older brother by seven years who talked his younger sibling into this or who was the one who tried to stand his ground with the Boston PD. One adult loser (as described by his uncle, and too admiring younger brother). Frankly at the end of the day, I suspect that damaged personalities had more to do with this than their religion (of course that could be argued about almost anyone who perpetrates such acts of violence).

Time for a commercial break.
I was thinking the same thing. The younger one seemed to have friends and no one has said any thing bad about him.

Muslim extremists, hard right conservatives are pretty much the same thing.

I don't believe you. I live in the Christian, RED, heartland and I've never seen anything even remotely like anyone whatsoever screaming at Muslims at Wal-Mart, the grocery store, or anywhere.

Supervision of children and adult children is very important- it does not stop when the kid is 18. I know from experience whether my adult kids like it or not....I am watching over them. It seems that these two young men did not have an over seer .

Modern Americans have this notion that kids are supposed to be independent and tossed from the nest for their own good- Yes they should be independent BUT - it is the duty of the wise older adult managed them to a degree. Young men in their twenties especially need some distant supervision...they are full of vigor and prone to mischief and worse. Like I said - and I am not coming across as some warm and fuzzy bleeding heart liberal- but I feel sorry for everyone involved. This should not have happened.
You're right. I have 5 boys, and the truth is that kids need your guidance and involvement as a parent just as much or more when they're teens than they did when they were small. The focus just changes--at that age you have to give them plenty of room to grow and move, but step in to make corrections and provide guidance when they start to run off course or get in over their heads. And you're right on the rest--the whole thing is tragic.

The boy does look harmless. But obviously he isn't. He placed that bomb there and arms and legs were blown off many people .Can't tell by looks ,it is deceiving .
