By god the U.S media are pathetic, they just can't let go of their White bashing for a second, either that or they're just plain stupid...or blind, or both.
Just now I was listening to All Things Considered on the radio and the presenter, Robert Siegel was making puzzled noises over those FBI photos and saying that the suspects appear to be "two White men in their mid twenties".
Now do those guys look White? Or do they look like West Asians, my guess would be Afghans or Pakistanis. Middle class Jewish liberal Robert Siegel is unlikely to have met a West Asian man in person so here are some shots to compare so we can all laugh at silly Robert from NPR

This is a White man in his mid twenties:

cstelle,

I do not resile from any of my statements. Those are the facts and no-one, least of all you, can dispel what is fact. As usual I will disregard your verballing and ad hominens.

Any system that makes the names and addresses of licensed firearms owners universally and routinely available to anyone in the police without gates and real monitoring -a robust, controlled and monitored access, at least a good reason being shown- is open to abuse. The registry and the computer have put all personal details of all licensed persons in the one place. It is as simple to find out an individual's details as doing a drivers licence check, where the other information is automatically shown.

In a recent truly idiotic move to place at a media concerned about OMG random shootings as a result of territory disputes over drug territory, the NSW government has required the law-abiding licensed persons to provide all personal particulars and gun ownership details when purchasing ammunition. So every employee in the gun shops have access to that confidential information on paper. So much for the Police Commissioner's judgement and any concern to protect the confidentiality of such information.

But then I don't suppose your relative told you about that either. LOL

Going back once again to the OP, there is no evidence whatsoever to support speculation that the bombing terrorism has anything to do with gun laws. Honestly, what was that commentator smoking?

Third para above should be, "In a recent truly idiotic move to placate a media concerned about OMG random shootings..."

Runner, what I truly and honestly think.
Is that you are no servant to the God I once followed.
That you unlike he, love to hate sections of humanity.
You will not agree, and even re reading your own posts will not convince you.
But it is an honestly held view, you do a disservice to Christianity.
We all can jump to conclusions about not just this, an awful tragic event, but others too, an hour ago not far away from this scene a police man was shot, on University grounds.
Near an hourly event in America.
We however while condemning who ever did this, other actions in the news.
If claiming to be informed, not overlook such murderers come from both extremes in that country.
And some claiming to be acting for God, murder in his name, right to life murders are a true reminder it is so.

G'day to all you good people...

One of our contributors herein queried if the commentator (Dr Michael Savage) was attempting to link the events of the Bombing, to the tough new gun laws recently enacted in MA. in some way ? I can't really say ?

Essentially, my quarrel with Dr Savage is simply this. I believe Dr Savage, as a public 'entertainer' has acted quite recklessly and injudiciously, by publicly, almost challenging the government to try and take away his firearms. All the while asserting both his moral and legal right to possess and use those firearms pursuant to the provisions of the 2nd Amendment.

I don't know about the US, but here in Oz, it may well amount to a criminal offence ? To 'incite' a person to commit an unlawful act, in itself, could be argued as a inchoate offence to that of 'sedition' ? I'd need to dust off my old law tomes to have a look at the criminal proofs. Incitement being the antecedent to that of 'Sedition' - I'm not altogether sure, it might well belong within the aegis of the 'Federallies' (the AFP) ?

In any event, it's my opinion that Dr Savage has both a moral as well as a public duty to act responsibly. There's enough horror in America at the moment, without some of these Shock Jocks stirring the pot and adding to it, by making some of these precipitous and rash statements. There again, anything for a buck !

Many thanks to all of you marvellous people who've kindly added, both manifestly and intellectually to this topic. I really do appreciate it. And to many of those who I've not yet responded,individually, I hope to very soon.

Cheers...Sung Wu.

Dr Savage is probably playing for the other side while posing as a redneck gun owner.

Complicated, but hey, that can be a result of all of that herbalism and alternative therapies he is into.

Maybe if he had a few lamb chops and did a bit of real work.

He is just another serial pest.
