Can you explain why the people cheered them on?
After the Boston bombing SWAT, FBI, and DHS were searching people's homes without warrants and stomping on their constitutional rights. Then when they catch him they cheer these jerks on and thank them for violating their civil liberties. Then we have a debate on when he gets his right to remain silent as if it were a question rather then something we have to moment we are arrested.
Is it just me or is this evidence that Americans have been conditioned over the years to accept injustice?
I'm shocked by how many of you are defending this? He who trades liberty for security will soon have neither.
BTW....If they broke in my house the man hunt would be over because they broke into the wrong redneck's house.

A "gun fight" with an unarmed man, a pressure cooker defined as a weapon of mass desturction.

As a contest cheerleader, i will how some human beings see it extremely is not. For an occasion if it quite is a school cheer team that doesn't compete it technically isn't a interest. Alot of folk classify a interest as a competiton of who's greater skillfull and greater effectual. i believe opposition cheer is a interest inspite of the undeniable fact that. besides the indisputable fact that it unquestionably relies upon on the guy.

Nobody's Constitutional rights were stomped on or violated.
The Constitution only protects people from unreasonable search and seizure.
There's nothing unreasonable about a manhunt for domestic terrorists who'd bombed an international sporting event, committed armed robbery, fought a bomb & gun battle with police, and had no intentions of stopping their rampage.
Go ask a grown up to explain it to you since you're obviously incapable of comprehending it.

No rights were violated. In the interest of public safety, the police can enter anywhere. However, if they find something unrelated to their search that is illegal, they can't use it, because it then would be a violation of rights. Besides, I haven't heard one case of anyone refusing entry to the police.
Law enforcement doesn't really have to read the Miranda warnings. However, any statements made by the suspect can not be used against him. In this case, they had enough evidence for conviction.

he always had the right not to speak, everyone does. you can't be forced to talk. Miranda is the right to not have what you say used as eveidence in court if you are not given the opportunity to retain and communicate with council.
his rights remained unchanged prior to and after the reading of Miranda. a little speech does not grant or deny a right any more than the first amendment grants free speech rights. both are yours, regardless of citizenship by the nature of your mere existence. "unalienable" and "endowed b ytheir creator", not granted by a silly little note read by a cop or judge.

and if the scum (the terrorist not the police) had broken into your home and held you at gun point, you'd be crying the police didn't do enough to protect you.
Those two terrorist had an additional 5 (or was it 7) bombs and the intent to murder more innocent people, what is your suggestion for the police, wait until more people were dead????
Also what I find interesting is the people actually affected by the searches are NOT complaining and are thankful the police were able to find and arrest the scumbag.

And the alternative would have been the authorities walking up and down the streets in Watertown pleading for the terrorists to please come out. I'm wondering what your complaint would have been if the Tsarnaev brothers had been hiding in *your* house.
Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary responses.
