Ask the three dead victims and the 180+ Injured if they think Dzhokhar is a "Nice Kid"
You have to be kidding me!
DO YOU have two arms and two legs?
Right now, there are 30 people in boston hospitals that dont.
Idiot.
Ask anyone the kid hang out with before this, and I bet they'll say he was a nice kid. He made a terrible decision, and hurt tons of people. That doesn't mean he used to be a bad kid. A lot of people on his twitter that he knew are still defending him. He could've been a good kid before this, you don't know.

First, lets stop using the word "Kid".
As another poster already mentioned, my state, and I think most others, 18 is the cutoff into adult hood.
Second, let me again refer you to my post.
You are obviously brainwashed by the MSM's use of the picture of this TERRORIST when he was 14 years old. Everywhere you turn, the MSM is using a 5 year old picture. Why? To gain sympathy and to brain wash you into believing what you believe.
If he was a "nice little boy" then he would have run, instead of putting down backpack and pulling the trigger.
Regardless of what he was, a "good kid before this" doesn't nullify the fact that on April 15th he was a bloody vicious terrorist wanting to mame and torture humans. Damn man, he was so smart, he got scholarships! So you cant say he was naive either.
KILLER.
Okay, we can stop referring to him as a kid. Agreed.
I believe about 10% of the little bit of what I see on MSM. I try not to watch it because the majority of their reports are ridiculously wrong, it's not worth the time to sit and listen. Read my post again.
I mentioned his twitter, correct?
Yeah, I'm judging him mainly on how he acted on his twitter, he interacted with different people, and some of those people were quick to defend him when it his picture was first shown. I'd say he was at least a decent kid, but turned out to be a terrible adult.

I cannot answer your question per se about TPTB sticking their necks out because I'm not entirely positive what I believe, but I do think the establishment is incredibly arrogant and they have a system set up to protect them. The media does a very good job at this and they also hide behind the "incompetence" excuse.
I think they've (whoever we may surmise they are) done some pretty risky things in the past, like flying 3 airliners into well known American landmarks.
And I have to disagree with your argument that those who consider Dzhokhar a kid or adult runs along political ideology lines, because I am a conservative libertarian (though socially liberal, in the traditional John F. Kennedy sense) and tend to think of him as a kid. I know by legal terms he is an adult and I have no qualms with that. He should be tried as an adult in court. Having said that, I remember being 19 years old and I still know many 19 year olds and I without a doubt consider them kids in my eyes, part of that may be based on the fact I am simply older than them but a large part of it is the fact that most 19 year olds I know are still incredibly immature even though they have children and families and find themselves in "adult" situations.edit on 26-4-2013 by PatriotGames2 because: (no reason given)

Show me one shred of EVIDENCE that has been shown, that clearly shows either suspect committing a crime, or being directly involved with the bombings. Please. Because I have searched tirelessly. I'm not saying they didn't do it, but there is no EVIDENCE that would hold up as grounds to prosecute in terms of what the public has seen.
I'm sorry but if I was totally removed from the situation and had no idea what happened, and they put me in a court room as juror and showed me what I have seen so far, I wouldn't be able to say without a doubt that these two are the culprits. If you picked EVERY other person out that went to the marathon that day with a bookbag on, I'm sure at least one of them would have characteristics or a history that could be just as easily adapted to being a radical or terrorist.
Again, I'm not saying these guys are innocent.. I'm saying the whole "evidence" line is bull.. The "evidence" the public has seen places them at the marathon and at least one of them running from police.. (There are no images or videos that clearly display these individuals the night of the MIT shooting). The eyewitness videos are all too dark and grainy to verify the identities of anyone..
