Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to be Tried in Civilian Court, Charged with Using Weapons of Mass Destruction Causing Death … Says His Brother Tamerlan was Driving Force Behind Terror Attacks

Suspect #2 Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19 year old who has been taken into custody in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings will not be charged as an enemy combatant. Instead as he lay in his hospital bed after suffering injuries after a shootout with police, Federal prosecutors announced terrorism charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The surviving suspect was charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property. This charge could bring him the death penalty. A grand jury will be convened where other charges will be filed against suspect #2.

The criminal complaint against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, filed in U.S. District Court in Boston, ended a debate over how one of the first successful terrorist attacks on the U.S. homeland since Sept. 11, 2001, should be handled. Some congressional Republicans had insisted that Tsarnaev be designated an “enemy combatant,’’ which would enable the government to charge him under the laws of war in a military commission or to hold him indefinitely.

White House press secretary Jay Carney rejected that approach on Monday, saying that the suspect cannot be tried in a military commission under federal law because he is a U.S. citizen. “We will prosecute this terrorist through our civilian system of justice,’’ Carney said at a White House news briefing.

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be tried in a civil court. Read the Unsealed Complaint and Affidavit – U.S. v Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at Legal Insurrection. As much as many wanted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to be charged as an enemy combatant, under the laws, it really did make no sense. Like it or not, this dirt bag terrorist is a US citizen. Although I would say that they could have held him somewhat longer and interrogated him with out Mirandizing him under the public safety exception.

As reported at CNN, Boston bomb suspect says brother Tamerlan was brains behind attack. Wow, way to throw your terrorist brother under the bus. Then again, I guess that is appropriate as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  drove over his brother trying to escape from police and reportedly killing him as police had Tamerlan on the ground handcuffed. Authorities believe that the two brothers acted alone and had no outside terror help. They are  classifying them as self-radicalized jihadists. Really, this from feds who did not act accordingly when they were informed by Russia that the older brother was a terrorist?  Are we really supposed to believe that all the bombs made, the cool, calm and collective nature of how these two planted the bombs and their actions were not supported by a terror network? Really? Did Tamerlan have a job, how did he sustain his lifestyle? Where did the money come to buy the materials to make the bombs? It is truly amazing just how little the feds understand about how terror networks actually work.

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators his older brother Tamerlan was the driving force behind last week’s attack and that no international terrorist groups were behind them, a U.S. government source said Monday.

Preliminary interviews with Tsarnaev indicate the two brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized jihadists, the source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, has said his brother — who was killed early Friday — wanted to defend Islam from attack, according to the source.

The government source cautioned that the interviews were preliminary, and that Tsarnaev’s account needs to be checked out and followed up on by investigators.

And a federal law enforcement official told CNN that while investigators have seen nothing yet to indicate the suspects were working with anyone else, a lot of work remains before they can say confidently that no others were involved. That official would not comment on any motive or specifics on what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has communicated to officials.

Amazing, Senator Feinstein (D-CA) Says Watertown Citizens Don’t Need “Assault Weapons” During a Time When Killer Terrorists Roamed Their Town

Unbelievable, these liberal Senators who have their own protection tell you that you do not have the right to protect yourself.

Following the Boston Marathon bombings by Islamist terrorists, Senator Feinstein (D-CA) went on FOX News Sunday where she shamefully pushed once again for her failed assault weapons ban. As the city of Boston and surrounding towns were in lock down as two terrorist brothers roamed the streets with explosive devices and unregistered guns, millions of Boston area citizens were in fear as they who were told to stay inside during the door to door man hunt for the Islamist killers. When Chris Wallace asked whether the citizens should have had the right to protect themselves, Feinstein responded by saying … Watertown Citizens Don’t Need “Assault Weapons” .

Because she knows better than you America. How many people who were pinned down in their homes probably wish they had an assault-style weapon to defend themselves and their family? Shouldn’t that be “We the People’s” choice on how to defend ourselves and our right to bare arms and not a government who failed to act in the first place when they were first notified in 2011 by Russia?

“Some may have (wanted to have guns), yes. But if where you’re going is, “Do they need an assault weapon?” I don’t think so… We did away with machine guns because of how they’re used.”

And Now for the Shock of the Day: Massachusetts Police Say Boston Marathon Bombing Suspects Didn’t Have Gun Permit to Carry Firearms

Hey Barack Obama, you can lash out all you want, this is why your ridiculous bill did not pass …

Here comes the shocker of the say for liberals, President Barack Obama, Sens. Feinstein and Chuck Schumer, and the other gun grabbing, gun registering, background check, anti-Second Amendment folks … the Boston Marathon bombing suspects didn’t have gun permits to carry firearms. Imagine that, the two terrorist bombers who shot and killed MIT Patrol Officer Sean A. Collier, 26, of Somerville, Mass. did not have a permit nor would they ever have contemplated getting one. How difficult was this for the AP and Reuters to report the facts that these killers did not have gun permits,  further proving the liberal agenda of wanting to take guns and Second Amendment rights away from law abiding citizens. When will liberals ever admit that the laws they are putting forward do nothing to stop crime? What better example do they need that the gun fire exchanged between the two terrorist brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and police HERE and HERE.

Imagine that Libs, MSM and Barack Obama, these two killers did not have permits to carry guns, so what background law would have prevented this?

Massachusetts police official say the brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon before having shootouts with authorities didn’t have gun permits.

Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday that neither Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) nor his brother Dzhokhar had permission to carry firearms.

He says it’s unclear whether either ever applied and the applications aren’t considered public records.

What’s this world coming to when an Islamist terrorist does not have a registered gun, does not adhere to the laws and pass background check? Oh the humanity. Next thing we will learn that the pressure cookers were unregistered as well as well as the explosives that the brothers used to throw at the police and used in the bombs at the Boston Marathon that killed 3 people and injured over 170. Is it any wonder why the Democrats anti-gun legislation failed and Obama’s knee jerk reaction to take advantage of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting went down in flames. The bill was then pulled by Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid because he did not want any debate on said bill, go figure.

EXIT QUESTION … HOW COME THE LEFT, OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE AS MUCH FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS THEY DO FOR DZOKHAR TSARNAEV’S MIRANDA RIGHTS? 

God Bless the Brits … Runners in Sunday’s London Marathon Show Support For the City of Boston, the Victims of the Bombing at the Boston Marathon

A special shout out to our friend across The Pond. God bless the Brits and their much appreciated remembrance and support honoring of the city of Boston, the victims of the Boston bombing and the Boston Marathon. The London Marathon took place Sunday without incident, thank God. As reported at the NY Times, 6 days and 3,300 miles from the bombings in Boston, the London Marathon was held Sunday, but it was obvious there was a connection between the two events as the people of London paid respect to those affected and the victims in the Boston marathon bombings. It is a blessing how sports can bring people and countries together. If the terrorists ever thought they would alter our lives and make us live in fear, they could never have been more wrong. You have only made us stronger.

A special shout out back to the Brits for the kindness and support you showed the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings

At the start of the race, the runner at the London Marathon paid tribute to victims of the Boston Marathon attack by observing a 30-second moment if silence before the elite men’s race and mass start. As one individual tweeted, over 37,000 runners and all of the spectators bowed their heads in collective absolute silence (see video here) as they paid respect to the victims and Boston. Simply breathtaking and respectful. The London Marathon officials also pledged to donate £2 for every finisher to The One Fund Boston, a charity set up to help victims of the Boston marathon bombings. By race end this will probably amount to about £70,000 – over $100,000, that will be raised.

London Marathon Pays respect to the Victims of the Boston Marathon Bombings 

Geoff Wightman, the event commentator, announced over loudspeakers before the half-minute silence:

“Marathon-running is a global sport. It unites runners and supporters on every continent in pursuit of a common challenge and in the spirit of friendship and fellowship.

“This week the world marathon family was shocked and saddened by the events at the Boston Marathon. In a few moments a whistle will sound and we will join together in silence to remember our friends and colleagues for whom a day of joy turned into a day of sadness.

“Let us now show our respect and support for the victims of the tragedy in Boston.”

Our favorite for obvious reasons … fellow UK Monkeys telling terrorist exactly what they can do

More from Buzz Feed, many of the runners in the London Marathon dedicated their race to the victims of the Boston bombing attack and showed that they were “British Strong” in coming out for the London Marathon and do our bit and show a bit of solidarity and also show that we’re not going to cower with fear to terrorism.

A number of athletes dedicated their races to those affected by the Boston attack. American wheelchair racer Tatyana McFadden was in her hotel room after winning the women’s race when the two bombs went off on the finish line.

“I’ll be carrying them in my heart as I am running through the course in London,” she said. “It’s important as an elite runner with a disability to be a role model for those who are newly injured and it’s important for me to be an advocate for those. I’ve lived with many challenges in my life, every single day and so I know something of what it’s like.”

Another competitor was former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss, who said he wanted to represent the people of Boston and prove that “terrorism doesn’t work”. He told the BBC:

“It’s a horrendous tragedy and I think this is an opportunity for all of us that are involved in the London Marathon to come out and do our bit and show a bit of solidarity and also show that we’re not going to cower with fear.”

Feds Rearrest Two Men ‘Who Were Friends with Boston Bombing Suspect for Immigration Violation’ … Owners of BMW with Vanity Plate ‘Terrorista #1′

Two men who were previously taken into custody and questioned in connection with the Boston bombing suspects, have been rearrested by authorities. One of their girlfriends was also arrested on Friday.  The three were subsequently released on Friday night before Saturday’s arrest of the two men.  As reported at the UK Daily Mail, two men who own a BMW with the license plate ‘Terrorista #1’ and who are said to be friends with the younger Boston bombing suspect were taken into custody again on Saturday. The arrestes are said to be due to immigration violations. A pic of Federal agents removing a man named Diaz, in gray hoodie, from his home in New Beford, Mass can be found at the NY Daily News.  The two men were hauled out of their New Bedford apartment in handcuffs about 3:50 p.m. as the raid was carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The two men who own a BMW with the license plate ‘Terrorista #1’ and who are said to be friends with the younger Boston bombing suspect were taken into custody again on Saturday.

This time the two foreign nationals were arrested over alleged immigration violations in the Massachusetts town, New Bedford, where police say the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, may have once lived.

The students, named by neighbours by their first names Azmat and Diaz, drive a black BMW 330XI with the personalised plate and a sticker on the back which reads: ‘F*** you, you f****** f****’.

I wonder how the LEFT would be reacting had the BMW had a Tea Party vanity plate?

Sadly, it would appear that the LEFT has never heard of hiding in plain sight. It would appear its OK for the Left to create conspiracy theories and put the blame on the Tea Party and right wing extremists when it behooves them. But when it is individuals who are associated with known terrorist, they are supposed to get a pass. Who knew that the LEFT had the play book on terrorists were supposed to act and conduct themselves? Guess what, I to am of Italian heritage and am very well aware of the “MAFIA STAFF CAR” bumper stickers you speak of. I also tend to think you are a bit misguided to compare terrorism to the Mafia. To do so makes me think you do not understand the history or purpose of either. I do not remember the mob having a Caliphate. Guess what, I have come across my fair share of “Joeys” who actually did have connections and their families to the mob and they flaunted it. Sorry, but everyone whether they be in the mob or terrorists does not believe in never letting people outside the family know their business.

The folks at Powerline provide a profound commentary on terrorism, its effects on causing damage and chaos in the United States, Obama’s drones-over-Afghanistan strategy, and policy, whether more realistic immigration measures should be taken to limit the risk posed by home grown (or, as in this case, transplanted) terrorists?

That being the case, it is reasonable to ask whether the question of their association with a larger terrorist group, while entirely appropriate, is nevertheless overrated. It strikes me that the main lesson we should take away from the Boston Marathon massacre is the destructive potential of jihadist ideology in itself, apart from its manifestation in relatively large and well-organized groups like, most notably, al Qaeda. Doesn’t the fact that two guys like the Tsarnaev brothers can cause such destruction, and paralyze an entire metropolitan area, regardless of whether they had any direct association with al Qaeda or other terrorist organizations, call into question the adequacy of a drones-over-Afghanistan strategy? And shouldn’t we at least consider, in the midst of a wide-ranging debate over immigration policy, whether more realistic immigration measures should be taken to limit the risk posed by home grown (or, as in this case, transplanted) terrorists?
