51. What do you care how he was paying the bills?

So what if he was supported financially? Do you seriously believe that there are no people in this country that aren't financially supported that are of an age where they could be gainfully employed? Geez, I went to school with tons of wealthy kids that were financially supported most of their lives by their families just because they were lazy, felt entitled, or couldn't get a job that kept them in the same standards they were accustomed to while growing up, so their families STILL supported them... and some are STILL supported by their wealthy families even now and despite being married with their own families.

Why in the world does being financially supported mean that the people doing so must somehow be involved in their criminal activies especially when these homemade bombs likely didn't cost a fraction of what their rent, food, cars, school, and all their other bills cost? What a ridiculous notion. Would you think the same of some kid in college that was having their bills paid for by their parents and was caught selling drugs that their parents must have been dope dealing conspirators along with their kid just because they foot their kid's bills??? Of course not. So why in the world do you assume that these guys who may or may not have been financially supported by family have even known about their bombing brewing terrorist good times much less been actually involved in it themselves? And just how the hell does this tie into the younger brother's Miranda rights???
