We pick up yesterday’s story with Watertown and Boston under lockdown, it’s a prison term go figure, while paramilitary police conduct door to door warrantless searches to find an immigrant teen, college wrestler Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, said to be armed and extremely dangerous, who fled from last night’s firefight with the police which left his older brother Tamerlan alive then dead. The two brothers are said by police to be suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, said to have killed an MIT campus officer, said to have lobbed grenades during a car chase, yet law enforcement spokesmen are not saying how 19-yr old Dzhokhar escaped the ten minute shootout. Now they’re treating him like Rambo. What, did he leap away wearing a bandolier loaded with pressure cookers? Won’t somebody cry BULLSHIT!?
Won’t some lawyer please jump on this menacing language coming from the Boston Police, quoted in the Boston Globe:
“This kid is obviously going down fighting,” the official said. “You can rest assured the cops are looking for a fight right now.”
Being raised in the Chechen war zone may give Dzhokhar an edge in evading the militarized joint forces pursuing him, but the profile emerging as reporters hound his relatives and friends hardly describes how and why he could be expected to pose further threat, he didn’t kill the driver whose car they highjacked, he didn’t shoot up the marathon or the 7-11.
Police are now admitting themselves into houses to check for booby-traps as if their evadee is a Johnny Poison-Appleseed with an unlimited cache of ordnance he can draw from like in a video game. At best their scared teen is bleeding to death in some corner, a fate for which Chechnya was excellent training. Otherwise this manhunt is a highly inappropriate pretext for normalizing police state tyranny.
ADDENDUM: THIS
Oh, please, now….. when you talk of ‘bullshit’ here, your own conclusion is the pure unadulterated bs being read on NMT, Eric.
‘Otherwise this manhunt is a highly inappropriate pretext for normalizing police state tyranny.’
And what would you have the police do when bombs are set off in the middle of a group of completely innocent of anything civilians? Sit back and read your befuddled and circular nothings to do nothing, Eric? Even if you had a revolutionary government of the people in place, the supposed ‘revolutionary guards’ would have begun a search for the terrorists in these circumstances. To think otherwise is just BULLSHIT.
They lock down a city and leave a border with Mexico literally wide open. Go figure.
