Poor little bomber

[Conan The Librarian]

Are you getting the sense of growing sympathy for the surviving alleged Boston bomber? The poor little kid was manipulated by his big, bad brother. His evil mother was becoming more extreme in her religious views. He's cooperating with the cops. He wasn't involved with a larger group of terrorists. He's only 19. So sayeth the news.

Oh yeah, that's the storyline the left will push, even with the older brother.
 
Don't know how many times I've heard MSM refer to them as "boys" or "youths" - 26 yrs old with a wife and kid, still a "youth"(?)!  The 19 yr old was "led astray" by his older brother, etc, etc.
 
How many members of our military are 19 yrs old or younger - are they still "youths"??

CNN referred to the younger brother as a "teen" and had a discussion about whether he was just some kind of misguided youth and if he really knew what was in the backpack...  
Should be an easy answer, they found all sorts of bomb making supplies, fingerprints should clear this one up pretty quickly wouldn't you think?

The clinton news network, interviewed his kingergarten teacher yesterday and she reported he may be suffering from Posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD.  From his being in chechnya during the uprising there. I'm telling you, he prolly wont get convicted, and may end up with his own TV talkshow. He and Lindsay Lohan will be bffs.    Heck he may end up being a baby daddy for a Kardashian. OR barrys liason person for chechnyaian foreign relations. Yea thats it, Our ambassadoor to chechnya.

And why do they keep using a photo from when he was like 15 or 16?

Shades of the Trayvon Martin case? We have to make the aggressor look as helpless and as innocent as possible since he is a member of one of the favored victim classes.
