"I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine?"

Cue, cheering, backslapping tweets from the stereotypical banjo playing, single toothed clampetts of the minor legislative state with very little political clout.

Four hours later after a political backside thrashing from the big boys in the Republican party he posts...

"I would like to apologize to the people of Boston & Massachusetts for the poor timing of my tweet earlier this morning. As a staunch and unwavering supporter of the individual right to self defense, I expressed my point of view without thinking of its effect on those still in time of crisis. In hindsight, given the ongoing tragedy that is still unfolding, I regret the poor choice of timing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers were with the people of Boston overnight and will continue as they recover from this tragedy."

So he's a muppet and an idiot, but he's also a jobsworth coward who has buckled under pressure, sold his supporters down the river and does not even have the courage of his own convictions. He'll go far in politics :mad:

Sorry for delayed response BG.
I was listening to the Boston police radio transmissions last night, as were many thousands of others. The city was under martial law - curfew, house searches and 'stop and search' of anyone on the streets. It was an interesting insight into how martial law is implemented.

A year ago the New York Times exposed the F.B.I. as 'terrorist facilitators'.
It is looking increasingly likely that Boston bombing was in this category, but I have not yet finished websearching for opinions about it. One particular viewpoint was provided by a retired senior army officer - video below.

extract -
"But all these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested. "

The guy whose boat he was hiding in must have been the only guy in Boston without a gun or I reckon the perp' would be dead already.

Why kill him :confused: - that would rob people of justice and surely part of them being able to deal with what he's done is to hopefully see him in court and hear the why's and wherefore's! I'm sure you'd feel worse off if those who blew off your leg we're just shot dead and thus not made to account to justice!
