Did Boston bomber murder his 'only American friend' in horrific triple killing in 2011?

Brendan Mess had throat slit alongside two other men in unsolved murder

Boston bomb suspect didn't attend funeral despite them being best friends

Former associates at the gym where he trained now believe it is a clue

"The friend, who gave his name only as Ray, told BuzzFeed Politics: 'At the time, none of us would have thought it was Tam.
'It was just so emotional and we thought we had someone else who had done it.'
"But since Tamerlan was identified as the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured 180, Ray believes his sudden disappearance after Mess's death may be a clue."

Hey, I read it on the internet and they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. As Reagan would say, trust but verify.

Boston Marathon Bombings: Turn to Religion Split Bomb Suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Home  
" "You know how Islam has changed me," his mother, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in Makhachkala, Dagestan, says he told her.

"The changes drove a wedge through the Tsarnaev home at 410 Norfolk St., in Cambridge, Mass."....

Dr. Gosnell: The Price of Utopia

Ricochet  " "This is a targeted, elitist and racist prosecution of a doctor who's done nothing but give (back) to the poor and the people of West Philadelphia," announced defense attorney Jack McMahon in his opening salvo before reaching his anti-climactic climax, "It's a prosecutorial lynching of Dr. Kermit Gosnell."  The prescription of racism having thus been written, most of the media took their meds and went dutifully to sleep.  The only thing missing were a few New Black Panthers to stand guard at the courthouse and Eric Holder could have short-circuited the legal process altogether.  But something's gone amiss here as the dark side of utopia slowly comes into the light."

The Lives of the Boston Bombers: What We Do and Don’t Know

Legal Insurrection  "A comprehensive primer on the bombers, their families, and their histories.

 

"After a nation watched in suspense as events unfolded this week surrounding the Boston Marathon bombings and the ensuing manhunt for the suspects, we now await the details in our quest to understand “why.”

"Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed Friday in a confrontation with police in the early morning hours. Younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fled, prompting a manhunt that finally ended Saturday after “suspect #2” was found injured and hiding in a boat behind a residence in Watertown, Massachusetts.  Dzhokhar remains in a hospital while the nation awaits what is expected to be an arrest.

"The week proved to be a difficult one for collecting information, as coverage was frequently erroneous, a problem only exacerbated by the viral nature of social media.  What remains in the wake of that coverage is a sea of assorted facts and fictions, mistaken identities, misquotes and bad news decisions, and even the remnants of hoaxes.

"In trying to parse through to the facts, what do we know about the suspected Boston bombers?"  More...

 

President speaks on capture of last marathon bombing suspect, oddly, no one cares what he has to say

Conservative Daily News  "President Obama made a wandering and odd speech on the capture of the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing on Friday. Stranger still, no one really cared what he had to say.

cagle.com

"The President spent his political capital on gun control. A wasted effort to get Americans to agree that allowing the government to have more rights than the people was reasonable. Again, no one really cared what he had to say.

"Gun rights and the Boston bomber are both incredibly important issues that most Americans have paid close attention to.  The difference is that Obama has next to no credibility on either of these issues/stories so no one really wants to hear from him on either of  them.

"President Obama hit the rose garden with a speech he obviously felt would raise the spirits of everyone in Boston. What he failed to realize is that Boston was strong before he ever got elected and they don’t need him to feel safe."

"I know the Boston bombers" .... deeply religious family

Atlas Shrugs  "Here is an infidel who knew the family for years. She describes a deeply religious family. The daughters suffered forced marriages and in one case, the unhappy union was accompanied by the requisite beatings prescribed in that culture. The writer describes the Boston jihadis' mother this way, "The hijab shouldn’t have surprised me so much, because she had become increasingly religious while I was in college. She often mentioned Allah, and the lessons of the Koran. “Allah will reward him."

"The mother thought 9-11 was purposefully created by the American government to make America hate Muslims. “It’s real,” she said, “My son knows all about it.""

 

Politically correct epistemic closure counterattacks Boston Marathon bombing reality

Legal Insurrection   "Once again, the “reality-based community” can’t handle reality

"Beginning Monday there had been a non-stop attempt to pin the blame for the Boston Marathon on “right-wing” and Tea Party supporters." 

...".Now the emerging narrative is that these killers were not part of a vast foreign conspiracy but isolated “lone wolves” who became disenchanted with American society, who were not fully integrated into society, who were unhappy with their lives here and thus became radicalized."....

Where Did Your Tax Dollar Go?

Heritage   "It takes taxpayers 6.1 billion hours—or 51 hours per household—to complete all the required filings. That’s more than six full eight-hour working days per household!

"The compliance burden comes on top of the direct financial cost of $3.5 trillion in federal spending. In 2012, Washington collected $20,000 in taxes for every household in America. But Washington spent nearly $30,000 per household."

NPR: Hitler's Birthday Might Have Motivated Right to Bomb Boston Marathon   "The thinking, as we have been reporting, is that this is a domestic, extremist attack and officials are leaning that way largely because of the timing of the attack. April is a big month for anti-government and right-wing individuals. There's the Columbine anniversary, there's Hitler's birthday[.]"
They can always retract the comment or continue with updated info later; the words are out there into the minds of people who like believing that sort of thing. TD

Viewers Abandon MSNBC During Boston Bomb Coverage   "The Monday cable news ratings are in and as expected, the events in Boston made viewership surge as Americans were hungry for the latest information on the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. However, as the Hollywood Reporter notes, the numbers mostly surged for CNN and Fox News while MSNBC was left in the dust:"

Were you wondering what the left had to say about events of the last two days?

The Left's Spin on Boston Marathon's Chechen Terrorists
"So, Chechnya is a breeding ground for Muslim youth who "know only conflict" and are merely acting out their heretofore suppressed hostilities. That doesn't make the Brothers Tsarnaev much different from inner-city youth in Chicago, Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis, and many other Democrat-dominated snake pits -- sorry: cities -- who "know only conflict."

Apparently, the attack on the Boston Marathon is due to global warming; says Governor Cuomo.

How would the left deny this point that Rush makes? 

"If it turns out that a Muslim bombed the Boston marathon, everyone in the media will circle the wagons and say, 'This is not because of Islam. This is a lone bad actor, lone wolf,' and remind us the vast majority of Muslims denounce this kind of terror.  However, if it turns out that whoever did this has either a real or imagined connection to conservatism, everyone in the media will unite to denounce the whole group. There will not be the same treatment."

If you live in the Boston area and feel you need a firearm, forget it

This all came to mind while thinking of people in the Boston area afraid of carjacking and home hostage situations. Think of the security the bomber must feel there is not much chance of encountering a person who is carrying a weapon.

Boston Globe  "In 1998, Massachusetts passed what was hailed as the toughest gun-control legislation in the country. Among other stringencies, it banned semiautomatic “assault” weapons, imposed strict new licensing rules, prohibited anyone convicted of a violent crime or drug trafficking from ever carrying or owning a gun, and enacted severe penalties for storing guns unlocked."
....

"But the law that was so tough on law-abiding gun owners had quite a different impact on criminals.

"Since 1998, gun crime in Massachusetts has gotten worse, not better. In 2011, Massachusetts recorded 122 murders committed with firearms, the Globe reported this month — “a striking increase from the 65 in 1998.” Other crimes rose too. Between 1998 and 2011, robbery with firearms climbed 20.7 percent. Aggravated assaults jumped 26.7 percent."
