I'd say it has something to do with being tired of the crap....best to not be involved in something that gets you nowhere. I am just guessing....we have never discussed it on fb.

No matter what Skippy said, the usual subjects would instantly jump down his throat. He was never allowed to have his say on anything. That's the trouble with the lefties here - to them there is only one side of an argument - theirs. And they are so offensive in putting forth their argument. That's why I laugh at Garfield ... he goes out of his way to give it back in spades and as offensively as he can. And they cannot see it and get so aggro.
Anyway, just look at the behaviour of the lefties here and and that's why the righties have left in droves and will continue to do so and why the board languishes from lack of interest when one side gangs up and forcibly pushes their own agenda.

Is this the suspect? Moroccan-American, Salah Barhoun 17, denies it was him. Has attended a police station for questioning and appears to be no longer a suspect. He is a high school athlete and wanted to run in the marathon but for some reason he couldn't - or wasn't allowed - so went to the marathon to watch instead. No reasons given as to why he couldn't run.

This is another possible suspect. Whilst everyone else instinctively cowers, the man dressed in black and highlighted appears to run away at speed from the scene in the opposite direction to everyone else who was caught up in the blast.

No, they are all cowering except him. As though he expected the blast and was getting out of there. If you saw all the rest of the pics in sequence you would see why the FBI are interested.
I expect a lot of images are going to released over the coming days.

It appears that the suspects in the above news report are the two people police are seeking in relation to the bombing at the marathon earlier this week.

It seems that one of the suspects is dead....no way of interrogating him now.

ONE suspect is dead and police are hunting another armed man in Boston, as police confirm the unfolding events are linked to the Marathon bombings.
9.50PM AEST:
A law enforcement intelligence bulletin obtained by the The Associated Press identified the surviving bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old who had been living in Cambridge, just outside Boston, and said he ``may be armed and dangerous.''
Two law enforcement officials told the AP that Tsarnaev and the other suspect, who was not immediately identified, had been living legally in the U.S. for at least one year.
9.30PM AEST: The New York Times has quoted a law enforcement official as saying that the suspect who was killed is Tamerlan Tsarnaev and that his surviving brother, who remains on the run, is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.
There are conflicting reports about the deceased man's age.
9PM AEST:
The Associated Press is now reporting that both suspects are brothers from Chechnya, Russia.
Suspect number two is allegedly a 19-year-old male who was given a $2,500 scholarship for high school students by City of Cambridge in 2011.

From the Los Angeles Times....Alex Jones has a sick theory about the Boston Marathon bombingsBy DAVID HORSEY | 5:00AM - Friday, April 19, 2013USUALLY, it would be best to ignore conspiracy-mongers such as Alex Jones and not reward him and his angry gaggle of paranoiac followers with any sort of attention. But, in a week when thoughts of the dead and maimed victims of the Boston Marathon bombings weigh heavy on the hearts and minds of most Americans, it is worth pointing out what a worthless waste of skin and bones Jones and his minions happen to be.
Nearly as soon as I heard about the bombings on Monday, I was certain that somewhere in the nutty right-wing blogosphere someone was already concocting a storyline that would blame the crime on President Obama and the federal government. Alex Jones came through with impressive rapidity.
Jones runs a radio show from Austin, Texas. He describes himself as a libertarian and an “aggressive constitutionalist.” The Southern Poverty Law Center says he has stirred up racial animus “to appeal to the fears of the antigovernment Patriot movement.” He certainly appeals to fear. Jones asserts that both the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11th terrorist attacks were perpetrated by the U.S. government as part of a scheme to promote a New World Order through “exploitable hysteria.”
So it is no surprise that he is now pushing the idea that the Boston bombings were the nefarious handiwork of federal agents. At Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s press briefing just a few hours after the explosions, one of Jones’ minions, Dan Biondi, was on hand to ask the governor if this was a "staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote homeland security while sticking their hands down our pants on the streets?"
"No," Patrick replied tersely. "Next question."
Meanwhile, Jones was on the air, on Twitter and on the Internet pushing his claim that the FBI engineered the bombings under the “false flag” of a terrorist group as a pretense for expanding the power of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. He warned of TSA groping teams at sporting events “coming soon.”
Jones is asking Americans to believe that their own government is responsible for all of the worst terrorist attacks in the country’s history and that the motivation for the latest one is a desire to grope sports fans. All of this is, of course, total ping-pong-balls-for-brains nonsense. It would be laughable if it were not for the fact that this conspiracy kook claims 2 million radio listeners and more online followers than Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh combined.
Jones is a purveyor of the neo-Confederate brand of “patriotism” that has gained currency on the far starboard side of American politics. I do not think he should shut up or be shut down; he has the same 1st Amendment rights as I do. But he deserves to be exposed for what he is: a delusional, self-promoting bully who is slandering the very people who are right now doing the truly patriotic work of bringing the Boston bombers to justice.www.latimes.com/news/politics/topoftheticket/la-na-tt-alex-jones-20130418,0,1322244.story

Two brothers from Southern Russia. I wonder what their particular "beef" was? Pair of nutters. Not "nutters" but radicalised musso jihardists. Can't you EVER get that right!

Have you actually interviewed them and know them personally?
The FBI would love to hear from you.

The FBI are doing fine. Anything I've written is already known by them - I am merely the messenger here, idiot. This is some of the stuff that's now out there. Pity it didn't set off alarm bells ... but we're a tolerant lot. Unfortunately.
The jihardist had become radicalised in recent months and had stated "I will dedicate my life to jihad."
But increasingly his posts refer to the fact he's growing a beard, his love of Islam and the fact he wants to leave America. He also posts to deny 9-11 and wishes American soldiers dead.
On April 21 2012 he wrote in Russian: 'I will perish young' while last month he tweeted 'Never underestimate the rebel with a cause'
These are the typical grateful refugees that have been given a new life in the U.S. and then become murderous Islamic scum. Why do we take these scumbags in??
I suppose I have a personal interest in Boston and am just so sorry for the people who were killed and maimed. So many family historians have been so helpful to me in finding the family of my grandfather's younger brother who migrated to Boston very early last century - I've spoken about this before. These people in Boston went out of their way to travel long distances to the state library to look up death notices and other info for me - I didn't even have to ask, they just said they would do it and I am so grateful to them. They were unstinting in sending me masses of info from their censuses. They traced my great uncle's family and found the two second cousins of mine who I am now in contact with and who have expressed the wish that we will all meet up in the near future. And I am ever so grateful that my 2nd cousins didn't go to watch that Marathon ...

World’s. Dumbest. Enemies.By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist | 5:28PM - Tuesday, April 23, 2013“Our research shows that, while many Americans would like nothing more than to make sweeping, insensitive generalizations about these two individuals based purely on their ethnic identity, this process is largely impeded by the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans truly know next to nothing about Chechnya, including even the very barest details of what or where Chechnya is.” — The OnionCHECHNYA! Of course! Chechnya wants America dead because they hate our freedoms, our shopping malls and our shiny perfect Jesus. Right? Because we have invaded their homeland and destroyed their culture with Burger King and Walmart and…um, wait, what? We haven’t? They don’t? The Boston bombers, while originally ethnic Chechens, are largely “self-radicalized?” And the younger one, Dzhokhar, is an American citizen? And they acted alone? And they’re basically dumb as logs? Oh.
It’s all so… confusing. So frustrating. How are we supposed to handle this? Who are we supposed to hate upon? The idiot Tsarnaev brothers don’t fit our beloved terrorist stereotypes, do not play the role we wanted them to play. Damn them!
Sure they’re Muslims, sort of, but they aren’t your classic, scarf-wearing fundamentalist sociopaths we love to hate. Sure they’re would-be terrorists, sort of, but it appears they’re also exactly just as hapless, ignorant, dopey, unrealistic, muddled, amateurish, moronic, foolish, gullible and downright stupid as nearly all terrorists the world over. Sure they’re from a violent and war-torn region, mostly (though Chechnya is quite stable now), but it’s also a part of the world almost no one knows or cares anything about, and never really will.
How utterly… deflating. For a country like America that defines itself by its enemies, that must have them lest the hawks and warmongers of the right sigh themselves to sleep every night, we just don’t know where to turn, where to direct all our intolerance and bile. All we have is one skinny, naive-looking 19-year-old kid named Dzhokhar who’s lying in a hospital bed, riddled with bullets, barely alive, his throat torn out and his world surrounded by cops and ignominy and death, whispering that he has no clue what the hell is going on.Muddled idiots or hapless morons?This shall not do. No wonder he haters and the finger-pointers feel so gypped. No wonder hothead GOP numbskulls like Lindsay Graham and John McCain wanted Dzhokhar tried as an “enemy combatant,” mostly because they like saying the words “enemy combatant” on Fox News with a sneer and a total disregard for American law. If there’s one thing the GOP loves, it’s finding someone to despise and combat. Besides Obama, of course.
What a strange moment in American history. No clearly defined enemy, Islamophobia at a (relatively) low ebb, gay marriage foregone and obvious, the Red Scare of yore now a pale footnote, even our normal modalities of racism and sexism lacking the same bitter tang now that Obama won a second term and all the nasty old white guys who used to control everything have become less relevant and/or are dying off en masse.
Truly, to much of America — but especially the pundits of the right — the Tsarnaev brothers and their insipid act of violence have been a major disappointment. Can’t blame Obama, can’t blame Islam, can’t blame the lefties or vegans or immigrants, can’t hate upon Mexico or Europe or Iran — all our normal machinery of bias and intolerance left with nothing to gnaw upon. What’s a enemy-loving populace to do?
How about eating a little of itself? Note how the shrill blogosphere is in momentary turmoil about being so stupidly, wildly wrong about the bombers, spreading lies and misinformation so quickly on the night of the attack (first via Reddit, then Twitter, then all the rest) it was sort of terrifying, particularly for those who were incorrectly, unjustly, even violently accused.Lone wolves: Not amused!For shame. It was nasty vigilantism and witch-hunting at its worst, with Reddit in particular revealed to be an ugly and irresponsible tool/community indeed, with no fix in sight. At least when CNN gets it wrong, they’re just an embarrassment. When social media gets it wrong, someone could get killed. You’d almost think Twitter et al have far too much unruly power and decentralized influence, to the point where a single bogus tweet could crash the U.S. economy in an instant. Nah.
This is the problem with globalization and the new high-tech melting pot; everyone is interbreeding, sects are blurred, no one knows where to turn for accurate, authentic information about who we’re supposed to hate anymore. Social media? Failed horribly. Old media? Mixed. Meanwhile, do you know what the worst job in America is right now? That’s right: “newspaper reporter”. So much for the future of credibility.
This much we do know: the enemy is definitely not well-funded, expertly trained clans of wild-eyed terrorists from foreign lands. The truth is, most terrorist attacks since 9/11 have been of the lone wolf variety, which, given the general idiocy, ignorance and ineptitude of most who attempt these plots, is a direct insult to wolves.
We are nonplussed, we are dissatisfied. It will likely be revealed that the Tsarnaev brothers bombed Boston for no other reason than they are slightly radicalized idiots born of awful parents, with no affiliation to any group, terrorist or otherwise.
It will likely be revealed that we will learn nothing new about terrorism or human nature, except that those who are desperate to find enemies will look harder than ever and bottom-feeding conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones will eat their own eyeballs for an uptick in click-throughs.
It will likely be revealed that, lacking the proper ingredients for a typical American blame-fest, this brutal and tragic attack will fade quickly in the national memory, joining a long list of dark, one-off events that scar the nation but don’t really do much to inspire it toward anything, except maybe the shocking realization that most people are far kinder, more helpful, and more willing to take care of each other in times of pain and crisis than our loud-mouthed, enemy-seeking punditry will ever be.
Not such a bad realization after all, really.• • Mark Morford on Twitter and Facebook.blog.sfgate.com/morford/2013/04/23/worlds-dumbest-enemies

Of course they are but there are too many lefties who decry that position. They waffle on about "most" muslims being "moderate," whatever that means and therefore they are considered wonderful, contributing law abiding members of society. But that isn't true. "Moderate" muslims must take control of their own religion. The "mad mullahs" is an apt description of these clerics, scholars and imams so many of whom are quite fundamental in their beliefs and it doesn't take much to tip them into radical extremism.
