And then one aged faster than another and they ended up 19 and 26?

How in hell did this kid escape from a car (SUV) when dozens of law enforcement had him surrounded and exchanged gunfire with him?

"The suspects threw explosives from the car and exchanged gunfire with police who were in pursuit as it headed into Watertown, according to the district attorney's news release. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was shot several times in the gunfight and pronounced dead late Thursday at an area hospital. But his younger brother escaped, and continued to elude authorities, who were going door-to-door all morning in Watertown."

Allow minimal immigration from Muslim lands? Don't grant refugee status to everyone and anyone in the 4 corners of the globe.

I find it odd that now the Left us saying no laws could have prevented this certainly hasn't stopped them in the gun debate.

This Salon article doesn't even come close.

All of that was perpetrated by Democrats.

Republicans were the primary opponents of the racist Democrats.

Yea, you're the real victim in all this.

According to the uncle, they came over 10 years ago -- so the 26 year old would have been 16. His views could have already been shaped, and then influenced his younger brother.

I think it's clear the Left's ideology is bankrupt across the board time for the Right to engage vigorously and not be deterred by cries of bigotry.

I don't see right-wingers willing to agree to both immigration control and gun control. Heck, right-wingers are the ones who are fighting for farm visas - of course only as long as they get to pay the farmworkers slave wages.

Give up the political angle, EdwardA - moral bankruptcy doesn't play well in public.
