Boston Explosions.

Sigh. Here we go again. Even before these suspects were identified, Muslims were already being attacked:

Bangladeshi man attacked:

Boston Marathon Bombing Fallout: Bangladeshi Man Beaten In Bronx For Being An â€˜Arabâ€™

(^I don't know why it's particularly dangerous for Sikhs, though, and not the Muslims who are attacked....unless they're saying that the attacks are sort of justified on Muslims)

Muslim woman attacked when she was with her baby:

Heba Abolaban, a Palestinian doctor who immigrated to the United States from Syria, says she was punched in the shoulder in Malden, Mass., on Wednesday by a man who shouted "F*** you Muslims!" and "You are involved in the Boston explosions," according to the Malden Patch.

Now that it's come out that they're white Muslims, I imagine an increase on hate crimes against Muslims.

Much as I dislike Islam itself, there is no justification for vigilante "justice" against innocent Muslims, and I hope you are OK.

Sigh....victim complex, much?
Attacks against muslims because other muslims did something like this, is reprehensible. I just wish muslims would remember this, regarding the Jews who often suffer from attacks by muslims, due to the conflict in the Middle East.
But that's probably TOTALLY different, since it isn't muslims who are the victims, right?

Thanks, I would say the same for you had you been in my position even though I don't like Christianity.

No, it's totally the same. But two wrongs don't make a right and pointing out that we need to clean up our own back yard before tackling the injustices in the rest of the world is not wrong. It is not a "victim complex" to point out that people are being unfairly targeted for something they had no involvement in.

I knew it was Muslims. Before they kill any more of us, we should repeal the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 that let them in.

Details are unclear on what caused the attack. Of course, everyone is assuming it is terrorism related.

i haven't seen evidence that it is.

Apprehending the younger brother may shed some light on their motives.

Ready to through the baby out with the bathwater, eh?

What evidence is there against the two bomber suspects?

Apparently, you don't know the term "victim complex" very well. It is funny how those who falsely cry persecution are the first to deny legitimate crimes.

Other than the fact that there's only one bomber suspect now because the other was killed while chucking bombs at the police?

What evidence is there that they did the above, and what evidence prompted them to be seen as suspects in the first place? Where's the evidence of any of it?

All I can tell you is to read through the news reports. The evidence that they were in a shootout with police is that ONE OF THEM WAS SHOT AND BLOWN UP BY HIS OWN BOMB.

Where is the evidence of any of it? News reports are not evidence. Why were they suspected in the first place?

The sweep is happening right in my neighborhood. If they don't find the guy soon, I'll be expecting a visit from the cops.

brinny · Apr 19, 2013

Sweep? Does that mean they're searching homes?

And this isn't a court of law where evidence is presented. The two were wanted for questioning, and they responded with lethal force.

Where's the evidence that they did or that they should've been suspected in the first place? Why were they wanted for questioning?
