One was a boxer who liked Russian rap videos and once said, “I don’t have a single American friend.”
The other, an all-star high school wrestler, listed “Islam” as his worldview on a Russian social-media page and was described by a neighbor as a “very photogenic kid” who had “a heart of gold.”
As a picture has begun to emerge of the two brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who are suspected of carrying out the bombings at the Boston Marathon, it was difficult to distinguish them from millions of other young people who come to the United States to forge a future. The authorities are scrambling to determine how they might have evolved into terrorists who would plant powerful bombs in a crowd of innocent people.
The Tsarnaevs are believed to be of Chechen heritage and to have emigrated from Kyrgyzstan or another country in the region with their family to the United States in 2002 after living for some time in Makhachkala, capital of Dagestan in Russia.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger, graduated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in 2011, where he was listed as a Greater Boston League Winter All-Star wrestler. That year, he won a $2,500 scholarship awarded to 35 to 45 promising students by the City of Cambridge.

Ingrate.
Deport the rest of the family pronto.
His uncle has said that the older brother was a loser not fit to live in this world.
It was only a matter of time. These damned liberals will continue to apologize for the animals and then, when the animals turn on them, expect us to save them.
I’m amazed that she actually used the I-word.
To them, everyone is a victim, except angry white patriotic American males.
Here we go. The Liberal, leftist apologists come riding in to create moral confusion through spurious moral equivalency.
Sickening, but very predictable.
The meme continues to develop. Brian what’s-his-name, the anchor on NBC, asks a reporter what “weaponized” these young men. So, the media excuses for their behavior are to this point:
1) They were radicalized by some imam
2) They were weaponized by radicals
3) They were Chechens, and because of the invasion by the Russians, all Chechens have justification to do whatever horrible things come into their minds.
4) They didn’t have any friends
Their war-torn homeland has nothing to do with their terroristic actions, just like the peaceful suburban homelands of the Columbine killers and Adam Lanza had nothing to do with their terroristic actions.
Kill the 2 terrorists and ship all their relatives and friends back as undesirables.
They have to learn that if they don’t raise their kids properly, then it is their own fault and we don’t want them here.
Didn’t take long for the mouthpiece of the left to start showing their deep and abiding love for people who hate this country.
Pretty soon they will figure some angle to blame their radicalization on the US.
Here’s what will happen with the moral equivalency: the “lone wolf” theory will compare him to Adam Lanza, and conservatives have to answer the same question of such equivalency, after all, we cry “crazy loon” when people like Lanza go off. The Chechnyan was just a crazy loon. There will come a day, wherein all ideologies that could possibly cause “violence” in some way shape or form, will be outlawed, in other words, since people have lost the ability to make distinctions, ALL religions will be outlawed ( a throwing out the baby with the bath water scenario which the stupid public will agree to, after this type of PC brainwashing beginning to bear major fruit for the Libtards). Backpacks will be outlawed too, I guess. I predict it to happen in the next 20 years.
Yes, obviously, he had a "heart of gold" which led him to blow up a bomb to kill and maim people.
There is nothing more disgusting than a liberal piece of $hit bending over backwards to bow down and give a verbal bj to the formerly bearded savages.
My, my , my ...how fast the media is to learn so much about two Russian kids no one knew a few days ago - yet, they still seem to know so little about the background and associations of our president.
So the NY Slimes bookends the week by starting off with 1) a puff piece on a lying islamic terrorist on hunger strike at gitmo and end with 2) this apologist trash for islamix Chechen terrorists who set off bombs that killed and maimed people at the Boston marathon.
The brazeness of their lying agenda is breathtaking.
This is a bridge too far for the MSM.
Post this article next to the pictures of the children with missing legs. I’m hoping the American People have had enough of this PC nonsense.
I would like to make them fit into a small box, does that count?
