The sad thing is that there is a poll on that site and 42% say that moron's statement aren't beyond the pale. I would seriously like to see somebody just pound the **** out of that guy.

The comments section on any newspaper website are a hive of stupidity and craziness. What is surprising is that it does not seem to matter match if the paper is a respected one like the LA Times,the WAPO, or the NEw York Times, or a tabloid.

I've been known to troll comment sections. It's fun!!! :)
 
Getting so sick of these "he was a really good guy" comments. He was a "really good guy" in the same vein that Chris Benoit was a "really good father".

<snipped interesting commentary>

Currently most, if not all, active rebel or outright terrorist groups are of Islamist character. Chechnya is currently relatively peaceful although it is still a poor, corrupt, backwards ****hole run by a tyrant. Most terrorist activity is actually in Dagestan which is right besides Chechnya.

I overheard (while reading here) on one of the cable networks that the father of the suspects left the U.S. and currently resides in Dagestan. I think that the uncle mentioned it during his interview. I'll see if I can find a link, but Arcade's note about the location of terrorism got my attention. I'll ETA if I find anything.

btw--a talking head on MSNBC just supported what Arcade pointed out about Dagestan.

ETA LA times story about father believing sons were set up. Father is living in Dagestan according to report.

"He was such a nice quiet guy" for every psychotic killer that comes along has been going on for a long time. Back in 1987,the Arnold Schwarznegger movie "The Running Man" poked fun at it.

Why not? Mohammad Atta's father still thinks his son was a patsy and 9/11 was done by the Jews.

I take it police scanners are not illegal in the US, like they are in the UK?

I'm not aware that they are here. I may be misinformed, but I believe that there is nothing illegal about listening, but it is illegal to act upon anything you hear. Of course, I suspect they're digital here now as well.
 
I thought this piece was noticeable since it might demonstrate how fast people can become radicalized terrorists, although it might not be true in this case:

In the video he shot inside his hut in the mountains of Dagestan last winter, William Plotnikov narrated as he panned from the black flag of jihad to three bearded rebels and their assault rifles.

Then he turned the camera on himself.

“I ask Allah that the next season he’ll give us the opportunity to kill as many kafirs [non-believers] as we can, just to shred them to pieces,” William said. “Allah is almighty.”

...

What seemed to amaze Mr. Plotnikov most was how fast it all happened. His son only became interested in Islam in 2009, he said. Within a year, he had left Canada and by July he was dead. He had gone from convert to martyr in less than three years.
