Well obviously I know that will never happen but still, they are supporting terrorism.

For the most part they're supporting someone they actually believe to be innocent, and not a terrorist. How they came to that ######ed conclusion is beyond me, but they're just supporting someone they think is being framed.

Being socially ######ed is not a crime, its a social statement and we see it all the time. Why do you think so many convicted serial killers get tonnes of love letters and marriage proposals.

If girls have one blind spot its their bad boy fantasies.

Mrs. Cowperson's first words on seeing a picture of the young Tsarnaev on television: "Hmmm.... that's too bad. He's so good looking."

Mrs Cow, villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good looks are well-camouflaged.

Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found hiding in a boat days after the blasts, left a handwritten message describing the attack as retribution for U.S. wars in Muslim countries, CBS News reported on Thursday.

The CBS News report, citing anonymous sources, said that Tsarnaev used a pen to write the message on an interior wall of the boat, where police found him bleeding from gunshot wounds four days after the April 15 bombing.

The CBS News report said Tsarnaev, 19, described his older brother and fellow suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who died in a gunbattle with police, as "a martyr."

"Basically, the note says ... the bombings were retribution for the U.S. crimes against Muslims in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and that the victims of the Boston bombing were 'collateral damage,' the same way innocent victims have been collateral damage in U.S. wars around the world," said CBS News reporter John Miller, who is a former spokesman for the FBI.

So his reasoning was that the answer to killing innocent civilians was to kill more?

Logic = brilliant.

Separately, at a news conference in Moscow, the father of a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter who was killed during FBI questioning accused agents of being “bandits” who executed his son.
Abdul-Baki Todashev showed journalists 16 photographs that he said were of his son, Ibragim, in a Florida morgue. He said his son had six gunshot wounds to his torso and one to the back of his head and the pictures were taken by his son’s friend, Khusen Taramov.
It was not immediately possible to authenticate the photographs.

Manhunt—Boston Bombers

Which technologies worked—and which didn't—in the race to track down the men behind the marathon attack? Aired May 29, 2013 on PBS

At 2:50 pm on April 15, two bomb blasts turned the Boston Marathon finish line from a scene of triumph to tragedy, leaving three dead, hundreds injured, and a city gripped by heartbreak and terror. Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology—combined with old-fashioned detective work—played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the suspects in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery, and crowdsourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked—and which didn't—and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

An immigration judge has ordered a potential witness in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a Chechen man by an FBI agent last month to leave the United States no later than July 1, and to remain in jail until she departs, raising an outcry from a civil rights group seeking a full accounting of the man’s death.

Between $125,000 and $948,300 for non-permanent injuries? I'd take a piece of shrapnel for that. Course knowing the US healthcare system that would probably just barely cover their hospital stay

Oooooooof course he does. And here I thought he was SO proud of his attacks on the "evil" American people and now he doesn't even want to admit he did them?
What an unbelievable loser. I can't wait to hear what his awesome Uncle Ruslan thinks.

I think your wrong, this isn't about him not being proud of his attacks. this is all about him getting a soap box to spout his hateful ideology.

This trial is going to be a gong show.

The only fortunate thing is that the death penalty won't be on the table. However a 6x3 cell which has a small hinged slot on the door and a window the size of a paper back awaits.
