In reply to the discussion: No Miranda rights for now for bombing suspect [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)thing about right wing extremists? He grew up in America and is an American citizen. Under the Constitution, American citizens have rights. I do believe there were kids killed in th Middle East and kids killed from drone attacks. That is what gets me. Do you use that language when those kids are killed also?
To tell you where I'm coming from, injustice is done every day in the world and it want be the last. I don't think any body's life should be cheapened more than another person's life based on skin color, sex or religion. I just wonder also who is being placed into this label of Jihad and is there any distinctions? Especially when the assumed killers were American citizens and their parents came from Chechnya.
As far as the President's reasoning for not giving the defendant his miranda rights for 48 hrs, I think the reasons are warranted in this case. He has valuable information. Especially if he can verify or dispel some of the theories people are throwing around. Like if there really is a connection to a Terrorist group or them acting on their own because they were upset with U.S. Policies in other places. There are a number of groups, even people in the United States been trying to affect our Foreign Policy in favor of one direction or the other. Like arming or getting into Syria. Violence is just part of this environment. I just don't fall for the sympathy buttons on one side or the other. All unjustified killing is heinous, especially of children on all sides.
