Man, I don't think I've ever experienced a manhunt quite such as the one taking place in Boston right now...
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

It's fucking mental!
Now imagine if they put as much effort into sorting the economy...

Not that I'm an expert on Boston law enforcement, but there can't be many "reserve forces" left in the city, police-vice that is.
Hopefully no one start looting or something... though you probably wouldn't with SWAT-forces patroling the streets.

It's crazy. For the sake of the hunted, I hope he isn't innocent. Well, that sounds strange to say, but you know what I mean.
(I'm not really very updated on the situation, maybe it's certain he's guilty of those bombings, I don't know) |

The two main suspects are brothers. Brother one died because of injuries sustained when his suicide vest went off. Brother two was wounded in the firefight in which brother 1 blew himself up. The wound was how he was found (bled all over the boat he was hiding in). Their last names are Tsaranaev. Ethnic Chechens, from Russia.

Unfotunately, many stupid people in USA are mixing Chechnia with Czech Republic (shortened Czechia) and are posting hate on us everywhere.

Even if it were Czechia, why would we hate you or your people, that makes absolutely no sense.
People who do that, must think very illogical. So if one Chinese guy kills an American, for example, they'd hate the whole of China?  (if they don't, already)
And you know what, I love Chez-o-Slovakia/Czech Republic. If only for this reason:
In the Czech Republic, too, we love pork. You ever had our sausages?
Know where that's from?

Sopranos,right? 
I think it is pretty normal in USA to jump the bandwagon and hate the whole country, even when you have no idea where it is, or even on which continent. Of course not everybody is stupid, but they can google it at least,before saying that nonsense.

I am not telling anybody to try "drugs" but saying that it can only kill you is just plain wrong, it is the abuse of said drugs that can kill you, be it alcohol or MDMA. I wont lie to anyone here and openly tell you that I have tried many types of drugs and have done so this week, I know many people or are productive, functional members of society who do the same, I also know people who have had bad experiences and not done so well but that was from the abuse of the substances not just trying them. It can be a lottery but I would rather take a tab of LSD once and a while than get completely drunk or smoke tabacco. The drugs are out there and the myth surrounding them is huge, its the illegality of it that draws a lot of people in and that can be dangerous, if we preached harm minimisation than a zero tolerance approach then we would see the rates of drug abuse fall.

@strydz
Same has been tried with smoking and alcohol and that hardly reduces abuse of them. Although it is people (usually) rather than the substance that are the problem

Besides being Chechens, they're apparently Muslim extremists too.
Before, USA had been terrorized by either Muslim extremists from "outside", or by White Supremacists from "inside".
Now it's... Muslim extremists from "inside". Let's hope it's not the beginning of a new trend.
Apparently they acted on their own, so that should limit the terror or fear aspect in this story. |

Anyone who does that is an idiot.
People should know what the Onion is. Jeez.
Glad their caught. Apperently they had more bombs with them during the firefight. Could have struck again.
The younger one is in custody I believe while recovering from his wounds at a hospital. |

Mean while Sichuan provence, China, has been devastated by a major Earthquake. 6.6 richter (which is a terrible scale by the way)
More details are coming out about the damage and death of the Iran quake from earlier in the week.
Both of these stories have been relegated by Boston (obviously), the London Marathon preparations, someone on Twitter and a potential change to planning laws.... Fucking hell

Unfortunately, death and murders are business objects these days and one sold better than another. It is fault of all of us, that we pay for and want such a news in media. Stop watching and following them and spread it to others, they will not broadcast it to empty seats...

Good that there is one more person able to speak about it. I never made my drugs experiments much of a secret, as i dont see anything bad on it.
I would never try hard drugs though, it ruins everything you know and yourself too (judged from people i know, not from stupid movies and series, who are not able to speak openly and truly about differences in substances)...

There's also this:
You can only feed the masses one story at the time. Two is already risky, 3 is just out there. Don't think the masses can handle that.  |

Experimenting is stupid. Why not just try it once until you en up addicted. No reason to risk that imo.

Agree there. I always wonder, those people who smoke sometimes say: I didn't like my first cigarette. Then why the hell did you ever take a second? |

Usually Peer Pressure. Thats what happened to me (well and i was drunk first time so it wasn't bad). Yes i used to smoke, but not majorly (1 or two a day) for about a year.
Drugs is very different, as it is supposed to make you feel something (happy, energetic, relaxed etc.). That feeling is often good so you want it again. Then again. and so on until you need that feeling.
If you do not go back for that third or more try, and do it in a correct (yes there is a correct way to do drugs) way then there is very little danger with many drugs.
