Will The Quickness Of How Fast These Two Guys Were Caught - Discourage Future Terror Attempts....

[global1]

by others who might be inclined to carry out similar terror bombings?

Given how LE and FBI reacted to this bombing on Monday. Their show of force. The public's involvement with pictures and social media presence. Security cameras that monitor most everything these days.

Will this be enough to discourage future attempts by others or will it encourage them even more to try? Thoughts?

1. I imagine not.

More's the pity.

[treestar]

2. Yes, at least when it comes to those who want to get away with it

The suicide bomber, not so much. If someone is willing to kill themselves, they can kill anyone on the way out.

[jwirr]

3. Certainly more than the two wars after 911 did.

[Island Blue]

5. +1,000

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. I hope so

[tblue37]

6. Nope. They will just try to be more careful. Besides, the

dumbass ones will arrogantly assume they are too clever to get caught, while the fanatical ones either plan to die at the scene or are willing to die for the cause whether at the scene or later.

7. People who are willing to commit suicide for a belief are willing to commit suicide.

8. I saw a show about cameras in London

The reporter said that when he got to where he was doing the interview they
showed him how they could track his movements from when he left his hotel
to his destination and all the stops along the way (including the subway).

It may just change their strategy.

Plus, the two guys in Boston seemed to be on their own.
At least we haven't heard of any group saying they supported the brothers.

9. It should discourage idiot wannabes at least a little

The pros are surely shaking their heads.

[dkf]

10. Only if they want to live and think they can get away with it.

If they are suicide bombers it won't make a difference.

[Egalitarian Thug]

11. No. Do you imagine that people that do these kinds of things will rationally

weigh such factors before reaching the conclusion that killing a bunch of strangers is how to achieve their goal?

[whatchamacallit]

12. Not at all

There will always be an ax to grind, and ways to grind them. People who think more security is the "answer" are needlessly fucking themselves.

13. If you have to ask that question, you need to read about suicide bombers. Can't believe after 9/11

[JackN415]

15. You should go ask Muhammed Atta if he had worried being caught!

[Hoyt]

16. I think surveillance cameras, cell phones, etc., will discourage some crime. Probably not fanatics.

[Yo_Mama]

17. IMO no, because terrorism is not rational

That's just my opinion and it's not like I have any expertise or anything, so my opinion shouldn't mean much.

IMO, quick arrests might dissuade crimes for personal gain, like embezzling, bank robbery, etc, but they do little to discourage crimes like this.

On the other hand, I don't think the effort here will encourage more terrorism. I think they would have continued until they were caught. I can't see any downside at all to catching the RIGHT culprits quickly.

[jeff47]

18. No. People who commit crimes don't think they'll be caught. (nt)

[RC]

19. They can't even think past doing the crime.

What happens afterward is whole another unrelated problem to be dealt with when it happens.
