Explosions at Boston Marathon (1 Viewer)

Just had this exchange at the supermarket. I arrive at the register in the middle of a conversation between the checker and bagger.

Checker (to bagger): "They killed him. Cops shot him. Unbelievable. They killed the guy."

Me: "Really? I just heard 10 minutes ago they captured him alive."

Checker: "What?"

Me. "The 2nd suspect. They found him hiding in a boat, caught him alive."

Checker: "We're talking about something else."

Me : "Oh." :unsure:
:lmao:
:lmao: :lmao:

 
Now that this is all done, how do the police in a house to house sweep not check a boat that has a cover on it?
Apparently he may have tried to sneak in there after BPD said they were pulling out. On google maps it looks like there is an industrial or commercial area where he could have been hiding and with his condition worsening tried to make a go of it....
.... but when he put the boat in gear, he went nowhere fast.

He must have been following CNN Breaking News

 
Tim brings the festive atmosphere to a screeching halt.
What the Hell did I do? It was just a question.
IT was a legit question. I still can't tell if he was read his miranda rights or not. The way the chick explained it was more a definition of what the safety exemption is. Not that it was used.
The issue that needs to be formalized under the law is that for an individual to become a terrorist, he renounces his US citizenship and thus becomes stateless and does not fall within any laws or constitutional protections. It is sort of like an American who decides to become a French citizen. Once he does that, he no longer has the rights of an American citizen. In the case of an American terrorist, when he renounces his citizenship by taking up arms against the US, he is no longer a citizen and has no constitutional rights.

Treason is an act of disloyalty or betrayal of trust to a person's own government. Examples include assassination of a state figure, fighting against his or her own nation in a war, assisting enemy combatants, or passing vital government information to the enemy. Historically, this crime has been severely punished, because an act of treason can destroy a nation. In the modern day, a conviction is accompanied at a minimum by a long jail sentence and a heavy fine, and may merit the death penalty under certain circumstances.

I'm all for the traitor route. Just would like some explanation so we know whether he can get lawyered up or if he's an enemy combatant.

The issue there is we determine when someone has taken up arms against the US in a trial.
