That's the Yahoo report about it, I find her suspicions quite stupid as the two men got into TWO gunfights with the police and actually tried to run instead of giving up. What's more obvious than that?

Apparently two light-skinned suspects hijacked a car and got in a shootout with the police. One is dead, the other is a 19 year old kid from Kergistan (sp?) who legally became a citizen with his brother (the dead guy) and went to community college in the northeast.
According to the hostage in the car the two brothers admitted to being the Marathon Bombers and had explosives strapped to their chest.

I don't understand, why this event? Do you guys believe this was domestic terrorism or foreign? Most people seem to believe the former. However the person of suspicion was supposedly here on a student visa.
Personally, I think America has a glaring problem when it comes to immigration. Too many people that hate America are able to get in. They simply want to abuse the mechanics of anchor generations or cause mayhem in the forms of terrorism, protesting and the like.
I think America has a bigger problem with domestic terrorism to be honest. Immigration controls are never going to provide a safety net to stop 100% of people who want to cause harm to the country, so you can't really blame immigration controls alone. According to wiki, 250/335 terrorism incidents in the US have been domestic. I can't think of a single country in the western world where domestic terrorism is that significant a problem (maybe the Uk with the IRA).
Then you've got homegrown terrorism, and that's a whole other ball game.

Unfortunately, The Onion has done the best job reporting on this side of things: http://www.theonion.com/articles/author ... uld,32071/
Right now, my biggest fear is the initial profiling the police used and told the public to use. Between the Saudi kids and the description of a suspect they told people to look out for (darker skinned, possibly black, male, with a possible foreign accent) my worry is that a new wave of racism is going to hit.

Well look at captain buzzkill here...
Captain buzzkill is trying to start a buzz, not kill it.
Monk's the one trying to kill it, since the last time Archbishop pulled this kinda thing, it was a lot of (negative) activity.
Now we are just trying to start something.

I just meant the whole "10 posts a day" quip. I fully support stupidity. When's the last time I've posted something really meaningful here? Most of my posts are either mafia or some nonsense I spammed the board with.
Now it looks like the 10 people who post each day are trying to start fights over posts.

Please discuss anything that isn't how well our political leaders are handling things. Criticize their decisions, not them. Sure, it wasn't the most stellar news conference, but a) the reporters did an amazingly horrible job of asking questions and not a word has been said about them here, and b) if you're expecting a 'good' news conference over a sudden tragedy like this, I'm just not sure what to tell you.
Also note that how well isn't how. Think Obama messed up by not promising to seek eternal vengeance? Did Boehner do a bad thing by not having his own press conference? Great. Explain why. Criticize the action, not the person.
