Two pioneering researchers of brain disease among athletes in violent sports recommended Saturday that investigators conduct special autopsy tests on amateur boxer Tamerlan Tsarnaev to determine whether the Boston Marathon bombing suspect could have been affected by boxing-related brain damage.

Here I’m trying to be series and you can’t contain yourself from making tasteless jokes.

[Know et al]

An apology for not taking you series.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! It took a while to sink in. Good one.

[wideminded]

If their suspicions were even close to correct, why hasn’t Muhammad Ali been dropping pressure cooking bombs?

The fact that Ali has brain damage that causes Parkinson's-like symptoms does not preclude the possibility that damage to a different area of the brain would incline someone towards violence.

“Researchers urge brain autopsy of bombing suspect....”

I on the other hand, urge an immediate autopsy of the Researchers to determine IF they even have a brain.

[faithhopecharity]

yes, I would have to object to this proposal ...
it sounds like a likely “slippery slope”... when they don’t discover a special little defect in the brain of the first Islamic anti-Christian, anti-American they dissect, they will want to cut into all the millions of other Islamics anti-Christian anti-Americans to find their postulated brain defect. (

all in the name of science, of course....

the landscape could begin to look like a Philadelphia abortion clinic

(hint: other boxers have suffered various injuries without blowing up Boston... indeed, all of them have somehow not blown up Boston before....)

hint number 2: the problem is therefore likely not the brains themselves, but the hateful sh*tty view of “religion” that is put INTO their brains. Note that O’s pals in Saudi are funding a couple thousand madrases (Muslim religious training schools and/or camps) including in USA... and all around the world...turning out many more nice young men like we invited to live with us in Boston)

the problem is not the hardware, its the software... and nobody seems willing to confront or rewrite the bad software

[elkfersupper]

They're looking for the "Which God is right?" node.

Good luck with that.

Back when I boxed, I got hit in the head any number of times, and...and...what was the question again?

[Labyrinthos]

Good grief, read my initial post very slowly.

mmmm- yes, let’s come to a conclusio nthat htis was just antoehr ‘workplace violence’ issue or that he ‘had a mental condition’
that ‘made him do this’ or that his childhood was so bad that ‘he had no chouice but to lash out’ and let’s just ignore that he WANTED to murder Americans and even TRAINED to do just that- all willingly and without coersion

PLEASE...TELL...ME...THAT...THIS...IS...A...JOKE!

Boxing causes one to turn Muslim....look at what happened to Cassius Clay.

No,the prospect of him being drafted and sent to SE Asia as an 11 Bravo is what caused him to turn moslem.

[ASA Vet]

I'd like to talk to George, he'd be interesting.
Cassius Clay? No thanks, I don't talk to slime.

If Ali would have agreed and stepped up instead of taking jail, he would never have been sent into real combat situations but rather as somebody akin to the Joe Louis of WWII. Who or what was it that moved Ali to do what he did? It wasn’t all about his having nothing against the Vietnamese or Viet Cong...he was anti-American but he sure made a whole lot of money and still lives comfortably in Berrien Springs, MI...Sorry, hero of mine but you ain’t no Al Kaline!
