    Edit: I guess the MIT thread is now the preferred thread to discuss this.

    Much like the lefties on this board when pictures showed them with a white complexion and suddenly it was right-wing, gun-toting NRA Tea Party terrorists mad about taxes.

    Your facts and timeline are way off. Confederate Son was the only one speculating that these were Tea Party folks, and he was doing so long before the images of the suspects were released. :shrug:

    I'm pretty sure Black Dove and ConfedrateSon were the only people suggesting ethnicity based on political biases.

    Posts #115 and #216 seem awfully speculative

    Riddle me this.....so how does bombing the Boston Marathon help your separate Chechnya from Russia cause? Not seeing the connection at all.

    Where did I say anything about "ethnicity based on political biases"?

    Also supposedly these two brothers are US citizens who have been in the US since 2000 or 2001 when one of them was aged 7.

    You posted 8-10 posts directly inferring (and giving your reasons for doing so) that these were probably right wing domestic terrorists who has chosen April 15th because it was related to the day taxes are due and some other nonsense.

    That was almost as bad as Garamet suggesting the bombings were to "kill Kenyans" (Kenyans typically winning the marathon).

    It's important to note that we still don't know their motives. Yes, they were born in a different country, but they've spent most of their lives living in the United States.

    Dayton: I repeatedly said that we don't know but there are two groups which are likely suspects and detailed reasons why so you need to stop lying. You've already repeatedly made the claim about jumping to conclusions quoting posts by me saying we can't reach any definitive conclusions so you're a known liar who has been caught red handed.

    They're probably jihadists rather than Chechen nationalists.

    This is the CS posting style.

    Eight lines of comments about why the bombers are probably right wingers mad at the government.

    One brief line saying "we can't be for sure".

    A short qualification comment doesn't negate all the others you typed before.

    We still don't know much about them other than they were born in Russia and moved to the US as children.

    I would say the Boston Marathon was chosen simply due to convenient location.

    High profile event very close to the suspects.

    Agreed. They apparently lived in Cambridge for most of their time in the US, so they were probably very familiar with the marathon.

    Two twitchy white boys with heads full of nonsense.

    And they've been here since they were single digits in age, so...kinda close.

    We still don't know what motivated them. All we know is they were born in Russia and spent most of their lives in the US where they were legal immigrants.

    Yeah.

    I'm almost certain that young Chechyans are motivated by anti tax zealotry and anger at President Obama..........

    "Young Chechyans" who were US Citizens, went to US schools, grew up in the US, and probably don't speak either Russian or Chechyan? Those sort of Chechyans?

    "Young Chechyans" who grew up in the US, were completely educated in the US, were US citizens, and who probably don't even speak either Russian or Chechyan? Those sort of "Chechyans"?
