"Read him his rights?
Listen, you stupid Cracker
our ONLY goal,
since it is too late to weaponize him,
is to get him off."
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....
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...
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......
We do not read POW’s their rights.
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.
"Read him his rights?

Tsarnaev is a Foreigner, and an adherent to militant islam who was naturalized as an American Citizen and committed a major act of TERRORISM against the American people.
That is a more complete statement of fact other than what the author wrote.
Have to say, from the get-go I've been against the "Patriot Act" for a number of reasons, one of which is the "Enemy Combatant" declaration that can be used against any American Citizen - natural or naturalized.
This specific case though really makes me re-consider my position. Far as I'm concerned Tsarnaev belongs down in Gitmo being water-boarded endlessly until we have every bit of information there is from him.
Then again once the Federal Government violates the Constitional Rights of a naturalized citizen, it's not a big leap to do that to the rest of us (and this Government HAS and DOES violate/attempt to violate our Constitutional Rights frequently!)
Still wrestling with this one ...
If he wants to squeal about another hit or co-conspirators......fine.
Will this incident invoke NDAA? Set a first precedent?
The Constitution and laws are only effective if they are metered in justice and are consistent for all with NO exceptions. Those same exceptions we cry for today may and can be used against us tomorrow.
I am so mad. I don’t give too hoots about this kid. However, why are the liberals not jumping on this? I know you don’t have to read him his rights because they are his already. HOWEVER, if Bush was President, those liberals would be shouting on every TV how unfair this is to the idiot kid. I am really getting to the point where I HATE all liberals and not just find them intolerable.
Here is how I would read them to the scum bomber.
You have the right to remain silent. Forever, After a speedy trial.
I know what I’m about to write will not sit well with most here but I agree with this article! He IS NOT an enemy combatant. To be so, you must first declare war on someone or some country or entity! As a “true” conservative I believe in limited government just as most of you and that includes limiting our government (Congress/Presidency) from simply giving the authorization for the use of force that gets us into open ended wars with no end in sight! This has ultimately led to the political correctness in our military institutions! This is a blatant dereliction of duty on behalf of Congress! We Conservatives should be arguing for the return of constitutionality which means that when you say you’re at war with someone (War on “Terror”) then the President must ask Congress for that declaration! Is it no wonder that we’re all in the mess we’re in-financially, morally, and politically??
Official: Boston bombing suspect ‘sedated’
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/20/us/boston-attack/index.html?iid=article_sidebar
The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings suffered an injury to his throat and may not be able to talk, a federal official told CNN on Saturday, possibly hindering attempts by authorities to question him about a motive in the attack.
