Liberal professor Ruth O’Brien 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. O’Brien, who’s 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?
If I were mayor of NYC (God forbid!) I’d make darned sure this woman got to handle the hostage negotiations the very next time there was a terrorist attack and one was cornered.
I think you’re right.
Good point. I was thinking that the police searched, too.
Understand, I only watched a little TV on this, on Friday night.
I do not believe the news anymore. It’s pointless to watch these fools, and the politicians are worthless readers of their money men’s talking points.
I’ve become truly cold toward them all.
She's a liberal.
I dont honestly think that the dead Moslim was killed by the other one.
I think that in this country for some reason, our government does not want to be seen as a killer of Moslims. Instead of taking credit for the kill they are blaming the brother.
Wierd. We go out of our way not to get blamed for Moslim deaths. Except for OBL.
Hmmm. This loon respects human rights doctrine, but supports those trashing the constitution.
I am way too concerned that you are totally correct.
Liberals have gone so far over the edge of reason and sanity that they have become suicidal. They promote things that will eventually kill themselves and they seem to be fine with that.
She has never had anyone shooting at her.
Ruthie sounds like she could use a little deprogramming.
I may not mean this in the dame way the liberal professor means it, but it seems to me their was this huge demonstration of a militarized police force, way more than was necessary to get two guys.
It’s almost like this was a PR move to get people softened to see and accept military-style police everywhere. To make the way ready for Obama’s goons.
Something about it was disturbing to me.
dame=same
I kind of agree with her but not in the way she means.
It would have taken very little force to not let their family immigrate to our country. Until we as a nation figure out that people don’t “deserve” to come here because they live in a hell hole things will continue to get worse.
they are so deluded
Laz, I couldn’t have said it any better than you did.
But Laz, (only since I’ve been here since 1998 can I say this) would you ‘hit’ it?
But... but he is having a wild party with his 72 virgins right now.
Probably one of Bill Ayers Friends!
