Be warned this happened in the 3 or 400s. There was just some old guy caught out after the curfew they imposed and he was supposedly "acting suspiciously". So they sent in bomb disposal robots to strip search him, probably as gently caress you for not staying inside. At last count there were 4 robots on him.
And thusly my username was born.

All the partying in the streets reminds me of when Osama was taken out. But this is a little more surreal considering what happened in that very town earlier today.

Also the true cover-up here was making a 700 page thread vanish without a trace :ninja:

It's in Comedy Purgatory until the mods decide what to do with it.

I agree that it's similar to the Osama partying, but in much better taste because they're celebrating an arrest and not a death.

This is stupid. It's great to feel relieved that the immediate danger is over, but people got blown up and more people got shot and an entire city was locked down for a full day. I think a little more respect or somberness or something might be in order, myself, and less wooting and flag-waving.

No loving way.

I don't live in Boston, I'm about 20 miles south. The atmosphere here was pure terror, nevermind for people who were actually trapped in their homes all day wondering if the guy was going to sneak into their back yard. They deserve to celebrate because at least for tonight they no longer have to be scared shitless.

That being said, video of a police officer getting cheered and the anthem being sung in Boston:

I think he might have been calling out the New York Post and other news media that seized on Reddit posts and spread them as "news", rather than necessarily referring to Reddit itself.

How is it "hosed up"? You know you are supposed to be aware of your own rights? Being Mirandized is supposed to be a reminder. It's not like nobody knows these rights until the police tell them.

It's the law, dude. It's not always supposed to be a reminder. There's a reason why it's told to everyone that is about to be questioned. The whole reason why Miranda is issued is BECAUSE people don't always know.

quote:

The next step in this information flow is the trickiest one. Here’s what I know. At 2:42am, Greg Hughes, who had been following the Tripathi speculation, tweeted, “This is the Internet’s test of ‘be right, not first’ with the reporting of this story. So far, people are doing a great job. #Watertown” Then, at 2:43am, he tweeted, “BPD has identified the names: Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta. Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi.”
The only problem is that there is no mention of Sunil Tripathi in the audio preceding Hughes’ tweet. I’ve listened to it a dozen times and there’s nothing there even remotely resembling Tripathi’s name. I’ve embedded the audio from 2:35 to 2:45 am for your own inspection. Multiple groups of people have been crowdsourcing logs of the police scanner chatter and none of them have found a reference to Tripathi, either. It’s just not there.

I am aware of this, yes, but if they are holding him under an exemption then it's pretty clear that they intend to question him.

Why would they be holding him under this mythical exemption? What a stupid loving proposition.

A Miranda warning is required when there is custody + interrogation. If law enforcement doesn't intend to interrogate, Miranda doesn't apply. For example, if a suspect is in custody and receiving medical treatment, rather than being questioned, there is no reason to read him his Miranda rights.

If they do intend to interrogate, they will read him his Miranda rights. They can do it now, or later, or a month from now. As long as it is done prior to questioning.

Thank you Obama for pointing out that we have investigations and courts, and we shouldn't jump to conclusions. This guy might be a piece of poo poo that blew up a bomb in a crowd, but he's a piece of poo poo who deserves a trial based on facts and evidence and not the court of public opinion. What we think we know about this based on cable news doesn't matter compared to what the police, lawyers, judges, and juries know. Several senators said we shouldn't have this guy go through civilian court and that's bullshit. We deserve to see this guy get his day so his guilt can be proven and judged, we don't deserve for him to be whisked away to some magic military base so we never hear about him again.

I sincerely wish they'd follow up on the "no Miranda rights" ordeal. I love it when we make laws to grant rights but make fun loopholes to take them away when we feel like it.

It doesn't matter, they only have to read him his rights before an interrogation, they don't need to do it at arrest. Regardless even if they did read him his rights at arrest it's highly doubtful given that he was likely half conscious due to blood loss that he would have given a confirmation that he understands his rights, so it would have been pointless to do so anyway.
