White Hat Suspect #2 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist, even without his Miranda Rights being read to him, immediately. He would be WISE to tell about ANY and ALL other bombs and IMMEDIATELY THREATS to other Americans he has knowledge of before the Miranda's Rights are read to him but White Hat Suspect #2 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist has every right not to open his mouth without a lawyer present.

What's sad and upsetting indeed is that White Hat Suspect #2 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist failed to open his mouth and call the darn police officials when either his brother -- Black Hat Suspect #1 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist -- the dead sibling and/or himself plotted to drop bombs (allegedly) near the Boston Marathon Finish Line. If White Hat Suspect #2 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist would have open his darn mouth to have the words, "My Brother is planning to commit a terrorist action on April 15th in Boston" out to Law Enforcement officials, three people at the race would have lived on, 170+ people would not have been injured, a police officer at MIT would still be alive and Watertown, Mass. would not have been on lock-down status all day, yesterday.

So, White Hat Suspect #2 - The Suspected Mass Murder Terrorist can keep remaining silent if he so wish because so far, I see enough evidence he's more likely than is indeed one of the perpetrators of these crimes, without his mouth opening up and words coming out of it.

I certainly hope so. Someone has to, otherwise the system is a fraud. enough Apr 2013 #1
