The Aftermath

So, I guess you have to have a license to have a gun in Massachusetts, but the two loser brothers who did the Boston Marathon bombing did not have a license for the guns they used on their shootout with cops. They were running around shooting at people with guns that Massachusetts very clearly said was illegal for them to have. It’s like, come on, guys we’re a nation of laws; if you’re going to be murderous criminals, at least legally posses your guns first, you know. What’s wrong with you.
So anyway, I wonder what the government is going to do with the two brothers? Charge them on not having a firearm license, I’m guessing — which I assume means a heavy fine — and probably also question them. They didn’t read the two brothers their Miranda rights, though — they didn’t to one, because he’s dead and he’s going to remain silent whether he has a right to or not. But they didn’t to the other because… I don’t really get that. If Miranda rights are a right, then you always have them whether someone reads them to you or not. I mean, if you beat the guy with a phonebook to get him to talk, I’m pretty sure that’s inadmissible whether you read him the Miranda rights or not. But they have plenty of evidence on the surviving loser so they don’t really need his confession anyway. So get a phonebook and whack away.
Oh man, I was just thinking how phonebooks are falling out of usage now. How in the future are we going to get suspects to talk?
Anyway, of concern is how much the brothers’ Muslim-ness is involved in the attack. I guess it’s possible for someone to be a Muslim and bomb people for a completely different reason than their religion, but there does seem to be a blowing stuff up problem in the Muslim community. I mean, it’s a tiny tiny fraction of Muslims who want to blow people — especially in America — but it’s just a much much much larger percentage of people than for any other religion. This problem would be best to be handled from in the Muslim community — like a pamphlet titled “Why Being Muslim Means You Shouldn’t Blow Up People.” Whatever the effort it, they should put that Uncle Ruslan in charge of it. Now there is a Muslim who does not put up with that nonsense.
And really, if you can’t be Muslim and not blow people up, then I think you should lose your being Muslim privilege. You’ll have to find a different religion.
