The eventual needle he's going to get is far too lenient. He's only 19, spending the rest of his days in a dark 4 x 6 cell could be a more fitting punishment. They should wallpaper the walls with pictures of his victims.

I know there's been plenty of discussion about the 'bombs' the brothers had built, but do we know anything about what firearms they were using and where they got them??

I have not heard a peep as to the fire arms these two used. I only assume they were hand guns , and the older brother { a naturalized citizen} got them legally , even with MA's tight gun laws requiring permits for handguns.
Evidently Nothing on his record prior to this would deny his ability to purchase legally.
Illegally purchased or traded? Could be. Since they were fully capable and willing to make bombs and kill and maim innocent people, I doubt they were too concerned with violating any gun laws . They violated their contract as human beings.
They willingly resigned from humanity.What Religion or Ideology is worth that?

Oh general population would be ideal. Even more so if some of the other folks milling around the general population were from Boston.
I would bet illegally, it seems it areas where firearms are more restricted they are more available on the illegal market. Supply and demand I guess. As to what kind I would agree they seem to be handguns, long guns would have been mentioned I would think.
No ideal really but I would bet Glock handguns, just based of of numbers and popularity. Same brand the LEOs in Boston carry I believe.
I am happy they might get to find out why they did this and if anybody else was involved. But him bleeding out in that boat would have been nice as well.

I always wonder with these people whether they would 'do it differently' if it was possible to go back in time. If given the option as he slowly bled out on that boat, would he have avoided the life choices that got him there or would he have just tried to do it better and not get caught? It is a truly awful thing to say, but in the deep dark portions of my nature, I hope that he loved his brother. Possibly grief might focus his thinking just a little on the enormity of the crimes.

Apparently The Russian's did contact the FBI about the older Brothers strange behaviour a few years back.

My bad Brad I thought Mass didnt have the death penalty. Whilst he certainly deserves to die for the lives he took I wonder if he would suffer more if he had to spend the rest of his natural inside. Either fine with me to be honest.

I'm up late as you can see :redface2: You're right; they don't have the death possibility. However, when I was driving home after seeing my son, I was listening to CNN and a constitutional lawyer said that he can be tried under both state and federal law (which does have the death penalty) and double jeopardy won't attach if he's tried and convicted under state law.
Hope all is well with you.

Right, I see. Thanks for explaining that Brad. If that is the case then I'm guessing he's doomed. Don't have any sympathy I'm afraid, the grief, mourning, misery he has spread across Boston was a deliberate act of evil with pure intent. He has it coming to him.
All fine here Brad, hope its the same with you mate.

A perfectly observed silence in memory of those kiled in Boston has just been held at start of London marathon. Alot of defiance and anger there today regarding what happened .
Someone quoted an excellent point:
' If you want to try and break human spirit , marathon runners are the wrong people to pick on ' !!{bravo}}

There's an effort to help the boat owner replace his boat but beware of charities at this time.

There are a great many runners in London today supporting the Boston cause and the organizers have announced that for every person crossing the finish line today they will donate two pounds to the fund for victims and families of those killed and injured in Boston. Should be a tidy amount of cash!{bravo}}

Latest report I have heard says that these two scumbags were on welfare! Just unbelievable!The US lets them in AND supports their existence here.
The media has gotten so much wrong about this case, it's hard to know what is true. I do wonder why none of the family members apparently came forward when the photos were released. I would think that anyone who knew these guys would have recognized them from those pictures. The older guy was even married. Didn't his own wife recognize him? It might have saved the life of the cop if someone had tipped them off earlier. It would be interesting to know when the authorities got the first leads on who these guys were. Or did they have nothing until the car jacking that night?
