Liberal professor Ruth OBrien from The City University of New York thinks we may have been a little too tough on the Boston Marathon Bomber who was killed by the police. OBrien, whos the author of the forthcoming book, Out of Many, One: Obama and the Third American Political Tradition, chided the Boston police for using too much force when they killed, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Sure, he may have killed a lot of people and their lives may have been at risk apprehending him, but they should have been a little kinder and gentler, darn it (Maybe his brother, who ran over him in a car escaping a shootout with police, should have given up instead of making him into a speed bump).
Now we have captured the two terrorists from Chechnya who come from the troubled region that is Muslim, but we cannot understand their motives, not yet. And Obama encourages us to refrain.Yeah, instead of calling for justice, we should be calling for inclusivity .or something.
This said, the mortuary pictures of the older brother of the two are extremely disturbing, raising questions as to whether the Boston Police Department captured him with too much force.
Boston has great resonance for terrorists. Selecting the Boston Marathon has great impact and it is going to be felt among the upper middle class: healthy, white, high-income earners who are non-smokers and non-drinkers (though maybe pancake-and-syrup eaters) those who attend the Boston Marathon or watch it.
I do hope we all watch the cleanup or the damage control and hear the words Obama uttered we should be careful not just to bracket the motives of these terrorists but also make sure to remember that we are an immigrant nation.
The United States that I love hunts down terrorists AND follows human rights during capture.
We accept difference, as a nation, and we should champion our greatest strength inclusivity at these extreme moments if we want the character of the United States not to be judged harshly by the global community.
What is wrong with this woman?
Is it wrong for me to almost hope the professor gets mugged?
This bat needs to keep up. Bro killed his elder when he tried to take him for a scrape down the street.
“Liberal professor Ruth OBrien from The City University of New York.”
There’s that city again.
Give NYC to the Palistinins.
They like us better.
F-NYC
Methinks there is a lot of that going around these days.........
The little Muzzie Bro. ran over his “leader” and killed him. Didn’t see ANY virgins in the autopsy pic though.
Scraping him into a Hefty garbage bag with a stick and a spoon is too much force???
Yes, it is wrong. You need to remove the word 'almost'.
Can’t write what I wanted to say.
I’d rather no go through being (temporarily) banned from FR again.
Hey Ruth, words fail me.
You should have volunteered to approach these two killers and ask them to give up peacefully, you’re persuasive, what could have gone wrong?
Idiot!
The police didn’t kill the guy. The police were trying to handcuff terrorist #1 when his “cute kid” brother, terrorist #2, ran his ass over with a stolen SUV. Too much force? I don’t think so. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. They shouldn’t install them into liberal “professors”.
That’s what your body looks like when your panicky little brother runs over you with a car.
Tell you what you stupid bitch, the next bunch, and there will be more of them, that maybe shoots up a shopping mall or maybe a college campus, you go out there sweetheart and tell them it’s ok, we know you come from a troubled area of the world and it’s all Americas fault, but no one is going to hurt you ok? Just put the guns down, take off the bomb vest and everything is going to ok. You do that ya feckin’ ejit!
If this man actually said this, he should have been arrested immediately.
See RummyChick’s link to a youtube video of the house to house search. It’s in another post a little farther down the page. The police used too much force...but on ordinary citizens...NOT the perp.
THAT was funny raht thar, I don’t care WHO y’are.

There’s the image we have of a policeman.
And then there’s the para-military that were in Boston.
The look of the empty streets and militaristic police there reminded me of Warsaw, as depicted in “The Pianist.” Empty streets. Armed force.
I was surprised we didn’t see flame throwers.
Going door to door without warrants is a direct violation of the Constitution, and people were fine with it.
