Think Progress is a stain on the world of journalism, much like Moveon.org and the Daily Kos. Only brain dead liberals believe the crap they read there.
So it's boxing and pressure cookers fault. My wife just had CNN on and they were warning us all that pressure cookers could be the downfall of the entire nation. If you see one run the other way. How you can go online and find out how to build a bomb with under $100 bucks. Meanwhile DHS has known about the use of pressure cooker bombs for nine years. I just hope no jihad johnny sets of a crock pot bomb. Nacho cheese will be everywhere.
Once again a C-D author has neglected to read the very source material that they based their thread on.
Drs. Robert Cantu and Robert Stern to urge examiners to study his brain for signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the degenerative brain disease found in boxers since the 1920s that has received renewed attention because it was found in the brains of former football players. Though both doctors doubt that CTE caused the behavior that led to the bombings, researchers shouldn’t overlook the chance to study Tsarnaev’s brain...
...Making sure that the autopsy of the older Tsarnaev includes a check for CTE would serve two valuable functions. In death, this man who caused so much harm might be a source of valuable data that could help shape our consensus about CTE and help others avoid brain injury in the future. And looking at the state of his brain as well as his YouTube playlist would serve as a critically important reminder of something we’ve forgotten in recent years: that terrorism can be inspired by many ideologies and grievances, and can spring to life in many kinds of fevered minds.
While it seems obvious, from the information thus far released, that the brothers became religious zealots willing to murder in honor of God, I would not toss out the baby with the bathwater. After all, remember Whitman? (he was the one who went to the tower of the University of Texas and killed many people). He turned out to have a brain tumor.
Again, I doubt it here, but perhaps a brain injury did contribute to a change in the older brother, making him more open to zealotry.
Obviously that would mean we should arrest Mohammed Ali. Brain damaged from boxing and a muslim to boot. Obviously it's only a matter of time before he sets a bomb off.
Can we now assume that this is contagious and it's why his brother was involved?
