Jihad in Boston: Death Penalty for Bomber?

[Jdsizzleslice]

If I were in Boston, I'd want my gun beside me right now.

(This kinda goes back to the gun laws that they were trying to pass...)

I will be honest, when I entered this thread I expected something a little more toward a "I hope everyone is okay" or "my heart goes out to you guys" etc... Not this crap.. cmon dude, give it a rest.. lol.

Where's Denny Crane when you need him
Denny would sort these fools out before breakfast, and still have time to impregnate three women, and end global warming.
Blowing shit up in HIS city? oh no they didn't.

On a more serious note, what a f*cked up place this world is

[BigBallinStalin]

Police are telling citizens to stay inside for a reason. If they protect themselves in their own homes, that's one thing. But the way scotty is wording it, it certainly gives one the impression he wants the people of Watertown to go around town with guns, which would probably result in some poor soul getting shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah, I agree that PS loves being vague, and his ambiguity helps explain 90% of the reactions ITT.

Over the past 10,000 years, it's been getting better.

Let the police, feds, and others whose job it is, to find this guy. In the meantime, everyone else should follow the police chief's advice and stay inside and lock up the doors and windows.

Not even just the police are saying it - it's the Governor and other state officials of Massachusetts. The entire city is in a lockdown.

Yeah, I want to f*ck this girl too. But I responded first!

TO ARMS! TO ARMS!

I'll hang out with her while Phatscotty goes out and gets himself shot.

[nietzsche]

If you guys stopped pay attention to terrorists, they would stop. You are enabling them. That's what they want, they want that you feel the rage they feel.

(Same with Phatscotty)

[thegreekdog]

Seriously, look at those eyes.

Sorry, babe, we're on lockdown. We're going to have to think of something to do.

Like what, Greekie?

How bout we start with you take them pants off?

Someone from Mexico has input about Terrorists? Please, do continue on how your country is so much better.

Phats, I don't think the rest of the community fully grasps what you're trying to say.

Aaand you're an idiot. Mexican Drug Cartels are about as destructive, if not more so, than terrorists in the Mid East, using similar tactics that terrorists do. Only difference is that they fight for drugs and money while the ones in Iraq and other countries in the Middle East do so for their perverted version of Islam.

[Phatscotty]

i hope he is just saying have a gun or baseball bat next to u while u sit and do whatever u do while ur kids watch sesame street in case someone busts open ur front door

I am not near the manhunt, but have family and friends right there.

(I grew up in Watertown.)

If I were in my house anywhere near there I would certainly wish I had a gun... just in case.

The guy could be hiding in someone's garage or in some wooded area. It's not unreasonable to think he could/will break into a home and try to take a hostage. You are certainly better off in that situation if you have a gun AND know how to use it.

I knew I could count on you, or someone like you, to breathe some common sense into the situation

[Phatscotty]

this, of course....

[Phatscotty]

Just because you have a fire arm and have it ready to use with the safety on does not mean you're running, driving or riding a bicycle around, shooting it at white hats.

Sadly, this is actually what some thoughtless people think...yet I reason they only think that, because they are probably the ones who would go around shooting like that.

I'm about 6 or so miles from Watertown. Not that I have any weapons on me, but there's always campus security...it would be foolish of him to try to hide in a campus, I'd say.

Of course it's foolish for him to try to hide in a campus. But, he may cross the path of a campus, or anything/anyone else when he eventually gets flushed from whatever position he is in.

And I'm glad your campus security can keep everyone safe

[Phatscotty]

I think that's spelled:

"to arms, to arms"

In PhatScottish, I believe:

"TO ARMS! TO ARMS!"

means "go racing out of the front door blasting everything that moves while singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic at the top of your lungs."

NU-UH! What those guys are forgetting, even though I pointed it out twice, is that nobody can go outside. Certainly, I wasn't telling people to go outside!!!!! That's what the morons implied. I can see how that easily happens though when you are speaking from your gut without the aid of the brain. I think I even said 3 times about "Defending yourself" and I have never suggested to go out hunting or something like that. Only a moron could think of something like that

Let me ask you Muythai...

What is the reason the windows and doors should be locked?

Nah, the reactions are based on the responder. For example: you will notice all the dummies think I said to go out hunting, all the gun owners understand that it means lock your doors, load your gun and keep it close, and get your game face on.

We understand, a lot of people are just too soft for reality. I mean, I just put the message out that means to be on alert and ready for anything, and everyone gets mad at me, or tries to make guns political. In reality this is a perfect example of when having a gun in the home comes in handy.

OK, then that's a reasonable suggestion.

However, you'll understand that Google Translate doesn't have a PhatScottish option so a lot of people use YouTube in lieu of it and the first thing that comes up when one enters "TO ARMS! TO ARMS!" in YouTube is this, which translates "TO ARMS! TO ARMS!" with a more offensive - less defensive - meaning.

[Phatscotty]

NU-UH! When Paul Revere called out "to arms", it was not to attack, it was to defend. (Boston analogy here, not Dixie)

The campus security is meaningless around here.

The campus' of most schools border neighborhoods with little or no distinction as to where the campus ends and the rest of the city begins.

You walk two building down and you are now at a private home and you are terrorizing a person who is/was in their home with their kids.

Point of thread:
What do most people think of when someone shouts "TO ARMS! TO ARMS!"

Here's a hint: It's not sitting inside with something to protect yourself with. Think more along the lines of grabbing guns and then going out vigilante style, but in armed groups with people who have had little to no training and think that playing a FPS game will give them all the skills they need. Generally, a completely innocent person will get accused, injured, or even killed because some moron was looking for someone with a white cap.

(Same with Phatscotty)

Many ignore the consequences of US foreign policy, and at times blindly support it. Ignoring the costs while rooting for perceived benefits seems to have enabled US foreign policymakers to become more aggressive.

We shouldn't ignore terrorism, and of course we shouldn't lead ourselves to rage about it. Instead we should deliberate about the causes of terrorism and about the proper response to terrorism. Wait, what am I saying?

We should all be extremely alarmed and emotional.
