Magons; some of us, given the source, would say it's "unamuriken" (meant derrogatorily...) ;o)

I despise people like that; have been lucky to knew very few personally, but know OF far too many of them. Living in Afghanistan was wonderful; I was too young to appreciate how well all the nationalities got along, I just "osmosisized" the mentality, then came home to encounter the other kind: the sick "nationalistic" attitude of "America The Great...everyone else sucks" ..Made me sick, still does.

So, I'm a fan of affectionate diminutives; what else would one call an Australian?

The statement is obscure in its meaning.




It wasn't intended to be obscure; it was a straight question.

I've been largely out of touch with news, media, facebook, and any other source since last Monday. New job, and all that entails. Hell, I didn't even hear about the bombing 'til after 7:00pm the day it happened.

I was asking if these suspects were citizens; apparently they were.

As to who to Mirandize, I err on the side of caution, and say Mirandize everyone you arrest. It makes it harder for some "activist judge" to find a technicality with which to throw the case out.

not sure if they were 'amateurs'

One probably killed before

A triple homicide was committed in Waltham, Massachusetts, in the United States, on the evening of 911 in year 2011. Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman, and Raphael Teken were murdered in Mess's apartment. All had their throats slit with such great force that they were nearly decapitated. Thousands of dollars' worth of marijuana and money were left covering their mutilated bodies; in all, $5,000 was left in the apartment.
