Seems like that “shooting self in the throat, but still alive” issue is very convenient.

If he can’t speak, then he is useless. Kill the bastard.

Shouldn’t Mumbles be in the Hospital himself?

What is the story on that guy? On tv he looked senile, barely able to function?

The hole in his neck gives him the the right to remain silent.

I wondered why they call him Mumbles, until I finally saw him interviewed. The term is perfect.

The same mayor who declared with certitude this morning that they “acted alone.” Are there any Mass. pols who aren’t total idiots?

Can he write? Type? Mouth words? Then he will have to do those things to tell us what we want to know.

Speaking is not the only way to communicate. Menino should know that...no one has been able to understand a word he’s spoken for decades.

Maybe the headline should read:

“Boston mayor HOPES authorities may never question bomb suspect”

Being a good communist, Menino, would not want to have the Muslim Terror Cells in his city exposed.

If the bomber dies, then someone did not want him to talk.
Someone or several someones in authority.

I’ll bet he sure as hell can write. There are many ways to communicate, as long as his brain is not damaged.

U.S. Senator Dan Coats, a member of the Intelligence Committee, said it was questionable whether Tsarnaev would be able to talk again.

“The information that we have is that there was a shot to the throat,” Coats told the ABC program.

“It doesn’t mean he can’t communicate, but right now I think he’s in a condition where we can’t get any information from him at all,” said Coats, an Indiana Republican.

***********

If and when he’s able, pen/paper or nods of yes/no can get many responses.

That they can silence this guy is the only hope the liberals have now. If they believed in God that is what they would pray for.

So the Bocops missed their chance, my question is why is he in hospital sucking up oxygen in stead of in a garbage bag on the way to the dump?
