Good on him and all that joined in. Criminals deserve a good ass kicking, glad to see someone was there to administer it. But I am sure someone will whine about their "rights"...

Funny, it sure sounded like it! Wow, really? Pray tell, give us insight as to how in the hell they were suppose to prevent such an act? That's the problem with you journos, you seem to have the answer to everything after the fact. If your lot is as insightful as you claim to be, you should have known about it as well and report it; but as usual all your brilliance seems to show up a day late and a dollar short. Some more than others; but I can pretty much guarantee that there will be a very strong case built on the surviving member of this attack, thanks in part to the work of the FBI. I never said they are spotless, but I challenge you to tell me who could do better. And I honestly don't give a fuck about this asshole's rights, he attacked the very country that offered him shelter from the shithole he grew up in. I spent 25 years in service to that country and fucktard liberals don't give a rat's ass about my rights; but they will jump through hoops to defend his. Fuck them and all like them!

Be an asshole to everyone, and no one particular person can get offended!

Not uncommon. I get border operations updates every week plus numerous other LE reports, it's shocking (and pretty scary) what goes on out there!

Bad call, you are using prescription drugs that were not prescribed for you; which is illegal and pretty much kills your chances for an Air Force career especially if you are over 18. If you lie about it and the USAF finds out, you'll be in even bigger trouble. I would forget about a military career and follow the advice guineapigfury gave above. It is the much safer/smarter option...

In this country, it's not against the law to be a supporter of radical Islam. Plus, it appears they responded appropriately... Since the Tsarnaev brothers hadn't committed any major crimes at that point, or even prior to the bombings, what do you actually expect the FBI to have arrested them for? They don't have a "Pre-Crimes" unit or any "precogs" to predict what they were going to do. Plus, as everybody on here keeps hyping, they had "rights." Lastly, considering how quickly they were identified and brought to justice, I think the FBI did a pretty good job. I'd like to hear how you think they could have done better given the circumstances...

I was at O'Malley's last public appearance, where he was the guest speaker at an AFA dinner at Mountain Home AFB, the same day he was killed. to Maj Gen Brown.

Allegedly the two lived in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan and Makhachkala, Dagestan in Russia before the family immigrated to the US in 2002. Tamerlan traveled to Russia in January 2012 and visited the North Caucasus, including Dagestan and Chechnya. Their mother claims the two were under FBI surveillance for several years...

Don't worry, the FBI will ensure the case against this individual will be clean; I've worked with them before, they know their shit.

Finally watched MiB III on DVD and was quite pleased. It was just as good as the first two, maybe even a little better in some regards...

Looks like something is going down in Watertown!

From the Facebook page of Jerry Patterson, Texas Lieutenant Governor...

No worries, it's not like it was its own thread or anything. The mere fact that video made the news tells me the person who took it--and more importantly, the child(ren) in the vehicle with him--survived!

Really? And your expertise in civilian criminal court matters stem from what? Quit talking out your ass, he would have stood the same chance of being acquitted (the correct term) in a civilian court as he did before a courts martial. Any more comments such as these and I will have to assume you are deliberately trolling, at which point I will take appropriate action. Understand?

Just be happy you're actually fucking commissioning...

Already posted in the Boston Marathon thread...

That's nothing compared to the explosion of a fertilizer plant in West, Texas (20 miles north of Waco) that killed up to 15 people and injured over 150 this morning... And for you conspiracy nuts...

Beaver, I'm not even an AR guy and I like that! On a separate note, with the Senate voting down the Gun Control Bill (54-56), I gotta plug this AK morale patch but even more so as I am its creator! NameTags4U has 'em available for only $3.50/each plus shipping.... 1"x2" AK-47 morale patch Cheers! M2

OK genius, then explain exactly what "Anti government militia mad over taxes, gun control, conspiracy theories of goveremment (sic) takeover and distrust President" actually means! You've got three events on the same day over 20 years. Not quite the conspiracy you're making it out to be!

Just a hint guys, from someone who's been retired for over seven years now (my how time flies!), in the old days everyone that was an NCO was called 'sergeant' until such time as they pinned on Chief, at which point they were called 'Chief.' Anyone who was enlisted and not an NCO was called 'airman.' It was simple and it worked...

Smokin', that's what I read as well. If Franklin does get screwed because of this, he will be remembered as being a man of integrity and that should mean more than a fourth star! And if that does happen, he still should remain as a case study in how real leadership works. I don't know the man but I have great respect for him after reading that letter. I don't care what rank he is, it showed a dedication to values that many just pay lip service to. It has restored my faith a little as well, but I also expect to see him pay a price for doing the right thing...

Continuing issue here in San Antonio. Should come with a mandatory life sentence, if you ask me. Just keep it in mind if you're in the Alamo City (or any other major metro area) on a weekend evening, stay to the far right as much as possible as most wrong-way drunk drivers will be in the far left lane (thinking it is the right lane in the opposite direction). My condolences to the family, friends and squadron.

Consider the source...

But not as fucked as he was. Still, it's not right.
