Thoughts on Boston...

When it comes to last week, there's just a few things i want to add that haven't been said a million times already.

First off, i'm really creeped out that i know so many people who, upon hearing of the Boston bombing, have the exact same response they did upon hearing of the Sandy Hook massacre.

"It's a setup. The government did it. Why? Umm... control. Government did it."

And you can talk to these people, and tell them all about Occam's Razor, and why, in the absence of any major discrepancies or compelling new evidence, it does appear that it is possible for weirdos just to snap and decide to kill people for no good reason. And more often then not, they'll just say "Yeah, but i saw this video online where this guy said, like, someone saw some other guy. There was a guy on the roof? Yeah. Government did it."

Second... there is this weird tendency people have to worry that, no matter what happens, that the terrorists "won." Specifically, they have this suspicion that no matter what happens to Djarkovich Tsardinicus, he will be sitting in his prison cell, grinning like the Joker, and reveling in what he was able to accomplish with no regrets. He'd do it all over again.

No way, man.

This goofball and his fuckface wife-beating brother clearly thought they were clever enough to get away. They reportedly wanted to go to New York and plant more bombs and eventually end up as big bad men back in Chechnya. Think of how wrong things went for him, so fast. Imagine the panic he felt when after three days of silent gloating, he saw his picture on the news. Imagine how he felt when his brother -- who apparently convinced him that what they were doing was awesome and told him all the reasons why it would totally work out -- was shredded by shrapnel from one of his own bombs, and run over by Djingleberry himself. The dude ran over his own brother. Then he had 12 hours of hellish flight in which he must have thought that there was some sliver of a chance that he might get away. But he ended up cowering in a boat, and tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the mouth, and now... he's locked in a hospital, in incredible pain, with a fucked-up face, a dead brother, his family under uncomfortable spotlights, and all his future plans turned to puddles of shit at his feet.

He probably might still want to kill himself. But they won't let him. His wrists are probably zip-tied to the bed and a nurse is wiping his ass. All he has to look forward to now is sorrow for his brother, months of interrogations at the hands of the Americans he so despises, and a lifetime in prison.  He didn't win. At all. He's trapped in a living hell right now. Whatever infamy or fame he won amongst Chechnyan terrorists will be fleeting, and of no help to him now. And yet, i'll read that he's somehow laughing at us, like the Joker, all his dreams fulfilled.

I disagree. I know very well what it's like to be a stupid young man who thinks they can get away with anything, only to find that the world is smarter and faster than you thought. It's not a good feeling. If i was a goddish sort, i would look at this situation and declare it evidence of some sort of moral law in action. Instant karma's gonna get ya.

Third thing?

Teabaggers are idiots.

All this time, they've been huddling in their nests of filth, trying to use this "new 9-11" to discredit the President, and saying asinine things like...

"Shutting down the entire city of Boston because: one lone hat-backwards teenager was ludicrous. But that exercise did prove to anyone noticing how easily modern Americans are cowed and herded at whim. This ain’t American anymore, folks. ‘Cower’ may be a bit strong a term to describe many Citizens’ compliance with Government Authoriteh after it was ‘suggested’ that they cower in their homes. A better word choice for non-recusants might be ‘complacent’, ‘acquiescent’, ‘controllable’, ‘obedient’, or my favorite, ‘docile’."

Awww. Ain't that cute? This idiot thinks that when the authorities told people to stay off the streets so they could catch the terrorist, the proper American response would be to march around having drunken redneck parades or something. While firing their guns into the air? Maybe, maybe.
Little butthurt, i think. They're a little butthurt because a blue state is successfully battling terrorism while a red state suffered a massive and tragic explosion resulting from capitalist corner-cutting. Also, gold prices collapsed this week, and they've all been buying gold because Glenn Beck and Mark Levin have been repeating for years that, if that Obama gets reelected, a wheelbarrow of paper money won't be able to buy a loaf of bread, while those with stashes of gold will be the new community pillars, you know, after the Collapse.

Butthurt.
