Boston Bombing Suspects - MIT Shooting - Manhunt

[adrynalyne]

I was listening to CBS news AM 1080, and they clearly did mention it. I really do personally agree with cbs news though, martial law could help expedite finding the suspect. I dont believe its the same martial law that was like back in the 1800s that we all picture! It could be the only option, if all else fails!

Did I miss something? I didn't know there were different types of martial law.

love how parents always just right to "my kid was framed".... looks like their dad called the police to call them "cowards" and called the media to say they where set up by someone

Martial law is martial law, however it could be declared just for the Watertown area, not the entire state! It would help get the suspect ALOT faster!

Oh yeah?

Guantanamo Bay.

Oh yeah?

Guantanamo Bay.

so many things wrong with your analogy..... 1) enemy combatants 2) seized in a foreign land 3) not arrested in the US territory

4. Illegal 5. against international law and human rights 6. hasn't resulted in any usable information just wasted taxpayer money.

Guantanamo Bay.

Yeah, for US citizens.

And why question that in a thread about the manhunt?

[FloatingFatMan]

Yeah, for US citizens.

He's not a US citizen, he's Chechnian. If he's got a green card, that can easily get cancelled.

From the webster dictionary!

Martial Law

": the law administered by military forces that is invoked by a government in an emergency when the civilian law enforcement agencies are unable to maintain public order and safety"

This is definitely an emergency because there is a terrorist on the loose, additionally civilian law enforcement agencies are unable to maintain order and safety, because they still have been unable to catch the suspect yet!

This may be a plausible option, if they fail to still catch him! They could just declare in Watertown, MA, not the entire state. It would arguably help expedite the process of catching him!

Then he is subject to the protection of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. My mistake - http://www.uscis.gov...000082ca60aRCRD

Why make this political? Is that what you dream of doing on Neowin? Especially hawkman and his constant anti US rants. :rolleyes:

All units were just told to call in, mean something's going down or...?

I'm not being political, I just know how the US tends to deal with terrorists. IF he's taken alive (which I doubt), I expect him to receive similar treatment. One thing he won't get is a fair trial.

UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters reported over Watertown & Cambridge. Must be the National Guard.

Wonder when they'll deploy the Apaches?

UH-60

honestly, does anyone ever get a fair trial? if you are tried in an area that covered your case in the media, more then likely there is someone either biased because of that, biased because they know you, or a number of other ways biased... you almost have to try every case in an area where you and the case is unknown to get a "fair" trial

oooo... they fly those over my town a few times a year as part of a ROTC drill... those things are loud!

While I agree he likely wont be taken alive, I think the history of terrorist treatment is generally historical to non-citizens/foreign nationals

and generally those captured off US soil...

Blowing up a bomb was an act of war. He is an enemy, and should be treated as such.

It's not more an act of war than someone taking a gun and killing 10 persons in a mass shooting. As long as they did not have a political motivation it's an act by two crazy men.
