    This isn't some gangbanger who is killing other dirtbags and probably couldn't care less about Joe Schmo the Plumber...this is a person who has made it very clear that they are intentionally in the business of killing and maiming civilians.

    People were justifiably worried that this person posed a serious threat to their own safety and while having your house searched is certainly stressful, it beats walking out on your lawn and finding an improvised explosive sitting there with your name on it.

    I get the "police state" angle, but based upon the spontaneous reaction Law Enforcement received in Watertown after the capture, I'm going to hazard a guess and say that they were pretty understanding of what happened at their own expense.

    For those who may find this interesting, this the twitter page of the bomber who's currently alive.

    It's a bit... I suppose unnerving is the word, from reading that he didn't seem like a deranged lunatic, or sociopath, simply a normal teenager.

Believe me, there were lots of violent Buddhists around during Vietnam.
    Right on the money. we frequently hear the noise of how all Muslims are bad and should be deported. Just remember the frontpage "news" from NYPOST this week and you can see how some groups really like to stereotype certain groups. regardless if it was based on facts or not ( which it wasnt since they where wrong on pretty much everything they reported)

    They can declare him a Russian citizen as they please, rightfully so even.

    I am pretty much 100% sure he will forfeit his US citizenship when all is said and done. since the immigration laws have those provisions in them for naturalized citizens

    I don't think we need to deport all muslims.

    I beleve we need to deport any immigrant/legal resident/ naturalized citizen who commits violent crimes while here.

    I also believe that we need to be more discriminating with who we are letting in. I think we should eliminate immigration from any country who sponsers/finances/supports terrorism.

    No school

    No tourism

    No nothing.

    Because both are illegal? Why, are you into entrapment? Or would you look the other way and break the law? You don't want to be a criminal I assume.

    I'm about as far from being a criminal as you can get...unless your a extreme leftist, than you might have a problem with what i do for a living.


    Anyway, nope just saying if he got off on a technicality......why not let him free somewhere that may be hazardous to his health.

    My bad than wildtree.

    I know i usually don't agree with ya, but we may be seeing a little closer on this issue.
    lol it's okay....
    As for the handling of immigrants. Your requests here are actually pretty well in the works.
    At least the criminal portion.. We residents or any other legal immigrant have to pass background checks. And the INS is a touchy bunch.
    While some things take time to complete, one better makes sure not to fall into the radar of even rather trivial things like forgetting a drivers license and such.
    A simple traffic issue can be the immigrants downfall in regard of his/her current or future immigration status.
    A clean record is really a must have. I hope that pleases you to hear. But my lawyer was in my ears with such stuff times and again. lol

    As for the discriminatory part...
    The problem at hand is the same for the USA as it is for Europe's countries.
    The people you'd like to restrict from entering are usually here as refugees. Just like our two bombers in this case, they enter the country on the refugee program.
    And this is where it gets tricky. Whom to grant asylum and whom not to grant asylum..
    Our countries just take the risk for the benefit of the thousands rescued that way.

    So entrapment then. You want to get him killed. Don't see why you're tip toeing around that.

    Boston doesn't have any Ghettos. No seriously.

    Not saying Boston is populated by clean freaks but Boston's version of The 'Hood (which would be more appropriate to use to describe Boston's inner city) can be compared to its "Rich Neighbor" equivelant of Beverly Hills (in this case Hyde Park) where the Mayor lives. NO ONE'S afraid of the 'Hood.

    The Waterfont at night's a different story. If you wanted him to disappear in Boston, drop him off at the waterfront after dark. The scary-ass thing is there doesn't even need to be any people nearby to fuck with him. Literally people just disappear from time to time and in his case I doubt the Coast Guard would bother combing the water for his corpse, or what's left of it.
    ...Ok, time to change the ol' Sig ^_^

    I was referring to the point that US immigration won't revoke his citizenship. If he chooses to, so what he is spending the rest of his life in cell in orange jamies.

    Sure, he can lose his citizenship after a trial. That's been my point all along. You implied above that it can be "taken away" before trial. The law you're quoting agrees with me that losing your citizenship requires a trial.

    (I snipped Section 2384 Title 18, since it has no bearing on the loss of citizenship.)

    If you agree that, while the suspect can lose his citizenship if found guilty, he cannot lose it without a trial, then we're just arguing past each other and can stop throwing law quotes back and forth.
