They just shot him

[Botany]

Fine by me ..... although it would be nice to get some answers he is not worth
a 1/100,000 chance that he could hurt another person.

If he is bleeding out right now give him more time so he is done.

[Logical]

1. ok n-t

[Gravitycollapse]

2. He has the right to proper medical care. Letting him die is wrong.

And we should not be encouraging such behavior.

[Botany]

7. If I was the commander @ the scene I would not risk another man or woman ......

.... to save his life or ease his suffering.

[Gravitycollapse]

10. Good thing you are in none of those positions.

[WinkyDink]

25. Okay, Jack Ruby.

[FarPoint]

12. Well his family tradition ...

is to wear an IED vest... so access is being restrained by the his own choice.

[Gravitycollapse]

13. Obviously I wasn't commenting on any limitations he placed on the situation.

4. they replayed a tape...

[morningfog]

5. No, it was live. Multiple rounds of shots.

[SoCalDem]

8. It's dark there now.. the tape showed daylight

[morningfog]

11. I don't know what you are watching.

Here is what I am watching: http://livewire.wcvb.com/Event/117th_Running_of_Boston_Marathon

It was dark and it was live. Other reporters asked if they were playing a tape, they said, "no, this is live."

[Riftaxe]

14. I think what they are showing is an earlier aerial

picture of the boat if you are referring to the same video some of the cable channels are showing.

I don't think there are many news helicopters hovering anywhere near at the moment.

[SoCalDem]

16. was replying to the "barrage of bullets flying" from, before dark

some were reporting it as currently ongoing, and many media folks kept running it..but after dark it was obvious that is could not be "right now"

[justiceischeap]

6. They're firing flashbangs

I've been listening to the scanner, since they've approached the boat, they've explicitly said not to fire their weapons.

[Marrah_G]

9. No they didn't

[Luminous Animal]

15. " If he is bleeding out right now give him more time so he is done." That is called murder.

[Barack_America]

17. It would seem compassion and morality are not exactly abundant on DU.

To think of people taking pleasure at anyone dying a painful death...

[pintobean]

18. No, it wouldn't be murder

He's suspected to be heavily armed and wearing a suicide explosive device. Who should risk their life to save his? I sure as shit wouldn't.
I hope he surrenders, though.

[Botany]

22. Thank you!

He is not worth the risk to anybody else.

[Botany]

21. R you kidding me?

No murder is what he and his brother are alleged to have done to
3 people watching the marathon and to a campus cop @ M.I.T. along
with blowing the legs off or wounding 150 people ........ sure it would
be nice to get him alive but risking one more man or woman to catch
him alive is simply not worth the risk.

If he dies cold, alone, and scared in some boat in a backyard then it is
100% on him and not on the men and women of law enforcement.
(If he wants to live all he needs to do is put his hands up.)

[WinkyDink]

27. Nothing like not getting any more info.

[xfundy]

19. Killing him would forever conceal his mindset

and prevent us from stopping the next generation of those with that mindset, or a grown one.

I hope he lives so he can talk about what motivated him. to kill him is to silence him and his motives, ensuring they will come back at us again.

Think, folks.

[Marrah_G]

20. no they didn't...

[Lex]

26. Was this a wild guess or something that happened? nt

[Hell Hath No Fury]

28. The Constitution says otherwise.

And I am damned glad it does.

[HappyMe]

29. Okay then.
