What he said.
He was most assuredly working at the behest of Islam.
Here’s the funny thing which always confuses me:
Dude has the rights anyway. What’s the big deal about reading them to him?
This is a complete distraction!
Whether they read to him the constitution or not is irrelevant!
Also another thing worth noting...
In the media reports they said he ‘negotiated’ with the FBI for 20 minutes before he gave up.
Kid can’t be that stupid. He must have had the president on the phone and done a deal.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
If this guy talks with or without and we can't use the info against him...so what...we have all other kinds of evidence. It's not like he's going to be released anytime soon.
And all he has to say is "I want an attorney"....and the exception is gone....
Correct. He has the rights either way.
The legal system presumes everyone is an idiot and dictates that you must be made aware of your rights before anything you say can be used against you. Well, we already have enough evidence to put him to death, we don't need to use anything he says to prosecute him.
What encouragement is there for him to talk? Well, I wouldn't pull back from the death penalty.
The reading to him of his rights IS NOT ITSELF in the Constitution.
As a citizen, he should already know his rights and he can exercise them if he wishes.
The Constitution does not give the state the responsibility of educating a citizen of all their individual rights, so Miranda is a mistake. Miranda assumes that it is a state responsibility to educate the citizen.
The Constitution assumes some people will be dumb and stupid. Always has been the case, always will be.
If the state is responsible for educating a citizen of his/her rights, where does it end? Shouldn’t then the whole Bill of Rights - or the whole constitution be read to them?
Your reasoning is neither sound nor logical.
Especially since you are stating that he indeed might be working for a foreign state or group......at which point he is a treasonous citizen...
Islam is evil beyond anything you can imagine:
I disagree that it is irrelevant whether they read him his rights or not. It is a basic principle that guides law enforcement in their treatment of citizens that are arrested. Like it or not, Dzokhar Tsarnaev is a citizen of the United States. If he is not read his rights and is denied access to a lawyer, where does that leave you or me, as conservatives who have been declared a threat by the Obama administration, if hey decide we should be arrested? What if they decide we are a public safety danger and refuse to give us access to the rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution? That’s a slope I would rather stay away from.
The reading of the rights are a distraction.
I would prefer the ACLU to explain to its members why he’s being charged under Federal law rather than MA law.
In my OPINION he should be done under MA law.
Now liberals have to wake up and realize they can seek the death penalty in a state that forbids it and is against it.
Talk about hypocrisy of the highest order.
He may have done the deed of an adult but he's still a naieve 19 year old punk who's going to sing like a bird once he can start talking coherently......
The reading of the rights are just a policy that the goons follow when they arrest you.
It’s not really a big thing.
If he’s educated he knows what rights he has.
I could care less about the goon squad and their policies of whether they’re going to read rights or not.
Far more important to me as a suspect is whether they assert I can charged under Federal law (most of which is unconstitutional) or State law (most of which is fine)
Because the Supreme Court said so - Miranda v. Arizona (384 US 486).
He’s not a combatant unless you think the US is a war zone where the constitution is now suspended.
And it’s not...
combatant’s are in the mountains of Afghanistan with RPG’s not in Boston cooking bombs.
We do not read POW’s their rights.
The Supreme’s are a joke and once said slavery was legal.
I could care less what 5 lawyers in black say.
They’re irrelevant to me.
So, apparently Mr Phipps believes Tsarnaev is a complete idiot, and that the kid doesn’t have a clue that he has the right to remain silent and to ask for an attorney.
Muslim and all things moslim are the enemy, including the president. We live in unique times.
