Boston Bombing

[Nukes]

...it sounds like a fatal outcome in these times. "We thought he had a gun."

A friend sent me this compilation:

“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in
the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s
annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an
entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have ... I
don’t listen to Washington very much, which is something they’re not
thrillled about."

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg
said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have
to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.
“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr.
Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a
complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security
greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws
and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”
“Clearly the Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have
different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to
and reasonable gun laws …

The deep disappointment coming from the White House, gun control
advocates and the parents of Newtown, Conn., at the demise of the
Manchin-Toomey Senate compromise gun bill is understandable. But some of
the rhetoric following the amendment’s defeat has been over the top.
Supporters of stricter gun control have called those who voted against
the measure “cowards,” a strange label for senators who voted contrary
to what 85 percent of the country, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and
virtually all in the media wanted. Is it courageous to follow national
public opinion and most of TV’s talking heads or to vote against them?

Polls can be slanted by carefully worded questions to achieve any
desired outcome. It is a fact that most people do not know what [gun
control] laws currently exist; thus, it is meaningless to assert that
people favor "stricter" laws when they do not know how "strict" the laws
are in the first place ... Unbiased, scientific polls have consistently
shown that most people:

Oppose costly registration of firearms.
Oppose giving police power to decide who should own guns.
Do not believe that stricter gun laws would prevent criminals from
illegally obtaining guns.

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. 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.

Shocking footage has emerged from Friday’s lockdown in Boston, where
police, federal agents, national guard troops and SWAT teams enforced
door to door searches of everyone’s home within twenty blocks as the
entire city was placed under orders to stay off the streets. The video,
shot by a resident from their own house across the street, shows police
barking orders at men and women as they order them at gunpoint to
identify themselves, put their hands on their heads, and get out of
their own home ... The story floated in the mainstream media that the
door to door searches were conducted with the voluntary consent of the
residents of Watertown is clearly false.

"I do think we need more cameras," Republican Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.,
said the day after the Boston Marathon bombing. "We have to stay ahead
of the terrorists." "We Need More Cameras, and We Need Them Now," blared
the headline at Slate magazine. As with every terrorist attack and
high-profile killing, the Boston bombing has prompted calls for
Americans to give up civil liberties for the sake of security. Rather
than gun control or airport pat-downs, this time the call is for a Big
Brother-like network of police cameras allowing authorities to more
closely monitor people who move about the streets.

CBS’s Lesley Stahl: Can we go back to what Bob [Woodward] had mentioned
about privacy? Because, yes, we have something brilliant happened here,
but it happened because the tools that they are using are the tools that
deprive us of any kind of anonymity in our own lives. We will never be
able to go anywhere ... We're all going to end up wearing burqas [to
hide our faces]. I’m telling you, we are.
