In Boston, yes, and by chance. If you are suggesting that "firearms" don't kill people, speak to the families at Sandy Hook Elementary.

You know and everyone else with an IQ over 70 knows that hyperlexis was making a cheap and snarky political statement in a thread that was not political up to that point.

You have some silver tongue logic but we are not that naive.

But just to be clear, I have no problem with the introduction of politics in this thread but don't lie and say politics was not introduced by hyperlexis.

I was careful NOT to say that, since the reference to Congress was political. Only to say that hyperlexis hadn't confused guns with pressure cookers. Guns were part of this story and there is nothing snarky about wondering where the killers got theirs. I wonder myself.

Maybe we'll eventually find out.......

And in the end, who really gives a shit where they got their guns. Maybe they stole them, maybe they purchased them, maybe they received them as birthday presents...!

Send a note to Carolyn and she will put those posts back and the offender will get a slap on the hands and if he/she continues then the spam privilege will be removed from the offender.

So...tell Carolyn...let her handle it. Abuse of the spam button is a big no-no...don't let it slide.

I let 49er know that I checked the list of reported spam posts, and our back up spam reporting and unfortunately I cannot find any posts that were removed from that thread. I will ask our developers tomorrow if they have any ideas. At this point I show no evidence that a member removed them. I am wondering if it was a weird glitch in our system.

If you had a post that you think was removed from this thread, please re-add if you would like to.

Big deal. This is not a court room and the obvious is obvious. "Obvious" you don't earn points for being politically correct on here.

I wasn't pointing out political correctness or lack thereof. I was pointing out factual correctness, and factual correctness is something PST is well known for on this forum and obvious to most members who have read his posts.

However what's really obvious is that you are easily moved by attacks on the left from those on the right ... and what stupid does is stupidly aligning oneself on the right or left and not realizing you are being manipulated by those who have bought the right and the left.

Alleged is the correct term for the "kid's"status, however, according to the person who was carjacked, the brothers confessed to both the bombing and the killing of the officer.

Regardless of that, the post you've quoted mentions killers, but doesn't state that the "kid" or his "dead brother" are killers, so there is really nothing wrong with the statement. Somebody was a killer who shot an officer. Wondering where the killers got theirs is a valid question.

PST wrote: According to Boston Police Chief Edward Deveau, the brothers had both handguns and a rifle. First they shot the MIT police officer, killing him. Then they engaged in a gunfight with police at 1:00 a.m. Friday morning. "We estimate there was over 200 shots fired in a five- to 10-minute period," Chief Deveau said. A second policeman was shot and seriously wounded. Later the surviving brother exchanged gunfire with police again when he was found in the boat. Details are at Police chief: Boston manhunt began with intense firefight in dark street. So someone who wonders where the killers got their guns isn't confused about what a pressure cooker is.
