Higher per capita education level as in a highly concentrated population with advanced degrees. Well above the national average PA included. In other words a bastion of
intelligentsia.[/quote]
And here you are on the interwebs trying to prove something to some dumb hillbilly?
You have proven your original point quite thoroughly. Some people in the U.S. really ARE idiots.
Have a nice day in the bastion of intelligentsia.

And you have a nice day in whitetrashistan, dumb hillbilly. [/quote]
No. I told you to have one first.
Now go have a nice day in that giant lemon party that you are so proud of, Damn It!
[/quote]
Lemon party? Was this part of your post recreational drug use therapy? Or, something you did while incarcerated perhaps?[/quote]
No. It’s a very apt analogy to what happens inside the beltway.
Think about it.

Hey, Hansel, Gretel, let’s keep this thread in perspective alright …

Especially for many ignorant/globally retarded Americans who would have a hard time locating the U.S. on a map let alone any other country elsewhere. Willing to bet 95%+ of the U.S. population has never heard of Chechnya until now (even though Chechnya has, on more than a few occasions, been in the forefront of international news for the past decade).
It is unfortunate that it takes events like this to stimulate a tiny morsel of American international/global awareness.

Yep, sad but true. There’s even a recent online article about this embarrassing phenomenon.
You two should go into a Boston bar and espouse your platitudes. My guess is you’d be lucky to make it out alive.

Don’t need to. The Czech Ambassador has already espoused it to the entire world.

I think you missed the subtle emphasis of my post. So, I will spell it out. Your quibbling is disrespectful and misguided.
Go start a thread in PWI if you have some political ax to grind.
One thing seems a bit off to me: we haven’t heard anything from the terrorists themselves about why they did this. Terrorists pretty much always use their atrocities to get publicity for their ‘cause.’ ‘Martyrdom’ videos are a fairly standard thing. It’s hard to believe they were dumb enough to believe that they’d just get away with this… I wonder if we’ll see something released online at some point, or a video arriving at some network like with the V-Tech killer…

Perhaps because they weren’t ‘terrorists’ but run of the mill mass shooters with some loose screws.

The label “Islamic terrorist” does seem to fit these guys pretty well. Sounds like the older one got pretty religious over the past few years, went to Russia, attracted the attention of Russian intelligence for Islamic extremism, and eventually did his thing in the US. Seems natural to me to fit this into some sort of jihad narrative.
Also, the mother sounds like a piece of work. Someone who knows her even suggested she might have had prior knowledge: The Tsarnaevs and me | Salon.com

The suspect is intubated and sedated. Why would there be answers at this point in time?
Deb,
Anyone who shoots up/blows up innocent people is a terrorist regardless of origin.

Chechen groups say they dont want to be associated with these guys, oh I wonder why! lol
So who trained them then? Mickey Mouse? [/quote]
There is a possibility that the older brother’s 6-month Russian excursion could have seen him making trips to any of the several Central Asian Republics where Al Qaeda-affiliated/inspired groups operate more freely than in Russia itself. He could have received training from many different sources independent of any Chechen groups.

How is he any different to Adam Lanza and James Holmes, both of whom killed more people? I asked this very same question in the PWI equivalent thread within the context of Lindsey Graham and John McCain wanting to trial this guy as an “enemy combatant.” Unfortunately, my inquisition wasn’t answered, maybe someone here can provide some insight.

No. The word terrorist has a meaning. It requires political motivation and a larger organization. Using it incorrectly has negative societal consequences.

Adam Lanza and James Holmes were not part of a larger organized agenda, but two guys who were mentally unhinged from reality completely.

And you’re obviously ready to make the assessment that the brothers were part of an unnamed terrorist organization? A link to a Youtube video is hardly concrete evidence…
