    I've never once heard anyone say that apart from people quoting that movie or using it to insinuate that people who express love for this country are all alike in some crazy way. I know my Mexican mother doesn't sound like that when she says how proud she is to be an American, but I digress...

    It's the way which certain patriotism is expressed, which I think was the issue. Personally, I feel using internet memes originally created to mock America and its freedoms is not the way to go about it. Patriotism should reflect a country's best attributes, those reasons we pride our country, its values, and the opportunities that it has given people over two centuries as an example to rest of the world. Showing a picture of an overly obese person in a handicap scooter with his guns and flags saying "America, Fuck yeah" is insulting at worst, embarrassing at best.

    Conspiracy theories are nothing more than the stupid trying to convince themselves they're smarter that everyone else.

    Any word on the Boston Bomber's condition? Is he alive or dead?

    I think he's still alive. From what I heard, they have a rule that prevents them from killing a criminal once they've taken him into custody.

    alive still in serious condition.
    they are not sure if he will ever be able to talk again (so he hasn't said anything to authorities)
    apparently he was shot through the back of the neck (I imagine at the first big shootout)
    there is a picture out there of him getting arrested and it looks like he is on his back and an officer is holding his throat.
    Being as that he was probably injured at the first shootout he's been bleeding a while

    haha.. really? Are you even aware of what history has proven. Besides, theories are just that. However, let's just deal with facts.

    Speaking of facts, where is the footage of the kids putting there backpacks down? I haven't spent the time to look into why these are suspects.

    And has anyone seen and heard the news from Russia of the kids family? Controlled media is a shame and we all deal with it.

    The general public will never see that footage. It would be too traumatizing to the families. Especially that of the eight year old boy whom the bag was placed right next too. If it goes to trial, no doubt the jury will see it. And the uncle, aunt, wife, mother and father of the perpetrators have all been interviewed on television.

    I wonder if they'll stop playing I'm Shipping Up to Boston at hockey games and stuff now. Wouldn't it be kind of insensitive since it's about a guy missing a leg?

    That would be over-sensitive. I see such things as a small victory for the "bad guys".

    Good effort repeatedly trying to discredit there ability by referring to them as kids. The older brother was 26 years old. If 26 year olds are not capable of doing anything don't tell Mark Zuckerberg or like hella other people.

    In terms of what? "History" is such a broad topic. And its also a channel.

    Crap. Now he can't tell us if they were acting alone.

    Someone give him a whiteboard and a marker when he wakes up.

    yeah, I didn't mean "kids".. I'm not trying to discredit anyone. I'm was curious why these guys became suspects. What made them get to the point of shoot out.

    They said they were the bombers, they were at the marathon with backpacks that match the exploded bags, their place of residence was found with more explosives, the list goes on.

    Lets not forgot that during the first Firefight on Thursday Night/ Friday Morning in Watertown, the 26 year old threw another pressure cooker bomb at police- the only reason more cops weren't killed was that the lid of the pressure cooker came off when it was thrown -No Lid, no Pressure, no massive amounts of shrapnel. You can hear it on the police scanner - the boom, and officers yelling, Giant explosion, Giant Explosion!

    There's also a pending story about the 3 people that were arrested that went to college with Bomber #2 at Umass Dartmouth. 2 Females and 1 male. This is just my theory- but I believe they were arrested for giving "material support" to the bomber. This bit of info not so much evidence- but make your own call-- One of the females arrested, she has a custom vanity plate for her car that reads " Terrorista#1"

    As far as Junior getting shot in the throat..... Where's Shockwave when you need him...
