Hindsight is 20/20. I'm just glad the boston police didn't shoot any civilians like the LAPD likes to do.

There's a large psychological difference between terror attacks and simple murders. Because simple murders always happen to other people, like drug dealers and husbands of battered wives. Terror attacks, though... that could happen to YOU!

It's almost like the people who carry out these crimes are doing it to try and send a message outside of killing a bunch of people and by treating it like any other crime we deprive them of that effect. Nah why would we want to do that, time for the breathless 24/7 news coverage and old white guys up on capitol hill wisely intoning about how we must remain vigilant against the islamic terror threat and by the way please give me ten gajillion dollars for a completely worthless federal anti-terrorism something or other in my district. At least this time the assholes were incompetent enough that we didn't feel the need to start a completely pointless 12 years long and counting war in a worthless country in response to the attack. edit - Good point, here's a picture of the last time the navy thought building a bunch of really fast small unarmored ships was a good idea (click for huge): iyaayas01 fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Jul 19, 2013 |

By that logic manslaughter is the same as murder, as the results are the same. Arguing on the internet is stupid; at least we should post a military picture with every one of our retarded posts.

manslaughter is an entirely different crime than murder; notice that i said murder is murder. having motive play into enforcement results in ridiculous things like hate crime legislation. our justice system was set up just fine prior to 9/11 to deal with terrorism; we didn't need any changes, and we'd be far better off returning to those days. instead it's cool, we'll just continue down the police state path, no big deal. <- my mil pic is my av, a true warrior

I don't agree with him that we should have the same response to coordinated bombings that we have to a drive by, but his argument that 'terrorism' is a silly concept that is incredibly hard to actually define is correct. Look up any definition for it and tell me it couldn't be made to apply to pretty much any governmental use of force. It's not really worth making GBS threads up this thread any more about it thought so I'll shut up about it after this. Here's some old documentary footage of tanks shooting a hill

Not if you lived in NYS or CT. Also I think one difference with Boston was the use of explosives vs firearms.

I know I'm splitting hairs but you are wrong according to your own source, he was shot during the manhunt. I'd even go so far as to say that the manhunt began when they started hunting Black Hat and White Hat; what was before Officer Collier was shot. I'm still astounded that the police didn't kill anyone; but my experience hails from LA and Vancouver where LAPD and RCMP do just love to kill people accidentally. The LAPD and RCMP give police a bad reputation. The Boston police and the entire response to the bombings was a wonderful example of policework and fully competent emergency services.
