One last thing about the Boston lockdown…

Leave a comment

Even if it turned out that the two suspects had nothing to do with the bombing of the Boston Marathon, the 2nd suspect is still going to get harsh punishment anyway. 1) Resisting arrest 2) having explosives 3) firing at officers and killing one of them 4) hiding from the law and maybe other charges. Just because he was trying to escape and get away with it, doesn’t mean he was responsible for the bombings. The bombings could have been responsible by anyone. Yet, people who are young and who are from a different country always get the blame. Why would this kid resist and try to hide when he could have just turned himself in to prove his innocence? Well, he could possibly have an Islamic/Muslim background and those are the type of people who could be dangerous. Still doesn’t mean he could be responsible for the bombing, though.

Law enforcement would need hard evidence to prove that these two would be responsible. They’ll need to look at the evidence around that crime scene, DNA samples, and other things. I’m not saying he was framed, and not defending him but trying to prove the fact that criminals are “innocent until proven guilty” in the court of law — unfortunately, the media has made it the other way around. I remember when there was a time where a trial and jury decides who’s innocent or guilty. Not the people like us or the damn news media.

Boston lockdown thoughts…

12 Comments

So I was watching some of the coverage of the Boston lockdown on CNN. Social media brought up the fact that two young kids from a different country could possibly be the, “suspects”. They were walking around the streets of Boston with suspicious looking backpacks on, just before the bombing happened. One suspect already died by a police shootout and the other suspect whose name is, Jahar, is still on the run.

Am I seeing all this correctly? Wait… time out —

Whether you agree with it or not, these two young kids are innocent until proven guilty, but of course, in this day and age it seems to be the other way around. So, a couple of kids walking around the streets of Boston — who could possibly have an Islamic/Muslim background — with backpacks on makes them immediately guilty? It seems that when something terrible happens, the blame is almost always on a foreign person. Someone who is not from the United States. The other suspect escaped and is out in hiding. I don’t want to speculate or jump to conclusions (and you shouldn’t, either) but just imagine how it would make us look like if these two didn’t turn out to be the bombers after all? What if they weren’t responsible? From the sounds of things, they don’t sound like they were responsible. They seemed like they were good kids according to their friends and family members.

Why would two kids would want to do something, big and risky as this? If they were really the bombers, why would they show themselves in public? When people commit bombings, they almost always stay on the down low. They wouldn’t show themselves publicly. Most bombs are usually planted when there is no one around. You have to be really smart committing a crime like this. I just can’t see two young kids doing something risky as this.

If they did turn out to be the bombers after all — if they were proven it — then they had to have some other help. Other intelligent criminals who knew a lot about bombs. You get the picture here? I’m not defending these two. Just being realistic.

If these two turned out innocent, once again, you have to look at how that would make us. After all the lockdowns. The police raids in every home and all the law enforcement work. All that stuff over nothing. The police killed an innocent kid over nothing. That would make us look bad more than the terrorists who did this. See what I’m saying?

On top of this, the news media covering the lockdown is shit. CNN, WNYT, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, etc. They’re all garbage. Stick microphones in peoples faces and harassing the suspects family. It’s crazy — ALL OF IT! Peoples homes in Boston are unfairly being invaded, not giving them much privacy — which is disrespectful, in my opinion. I was watching the coverage of the lockdown and I had to turn it off ’cause the news was making me sick.

Somebody obviously did the bombings but I don’t think it was these two. This is why I don’t watch the news anymore ’cause they’re simply shit. Garbage. The news media should take their microphones and cameras, stick ’em up their asses.

Rant: Are we going to have bomb control now???

I was gonna post more on this blog but since the events at Boston earlier today, I wanted to hold off on the blogging a little bit. While the events at Boston for the Marathon race was horrible and it was tragic; My heart goes out to the people of Boston, it just shows how hypocritical our government can be. This proves my exact point that no matter how you make the gun laws tougher, and no matter how you change them, people will always find their way around violence. Quite honestly, I think who ever did this, wanted to respond to all the gun control nonsense. I’m sure this wasn’t Al-Qaeda related (at least, I hope it isn’t, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it is), it is probably some lunatic gun fanatic responding to 2nd Amendment rights. So the Obama administration makes gun laws tougher, and now this happens. See what’s wrong with the picture on gun control? Are we going to get bomb control now? Yes, bombs are already illegal, but see how this makes the government a bunch of hypocrites?

It’s a shame what happened today, but today’s tragic events is just further proof that America is fucked. People in social networking sites are going, “How could people do this?”. Well, that’s why criminals do these things. They do it to upset people. 3 bombs were blown in that area with possibly even more bombs all over the place around Boston.

Violence is not gonna stop people. No matter how hard the government tries to make us safe. There are dangerous and evil people everywhere. America is not a friendly and lovable happy go lucky country everyone wants it to believe.

How are they going to stop people from making or bringing bombs into this country? YOU CAN’T. There’s no way you can stop ’em. Just like you’ll never stop gun violence, even if you do take guns away from us. People will always find their way around violence, no matter how tough the laws get.

We’re gonna have to get used to all these tragedies if our government doesn’t get fixed up. Even criminals are upset at our government, not just us.

Prayers do go out to the people of Boston, though. It is heart breakin’, don’t get me wrong.
