No, simply because it is the right thing to do. However, this case is in a gray area because Dzhokhar apparently was unconscious when taken into custody.

- willurd 14y agoI was answering the question as to whether he/she should care. If they don't already care, it's clear they have no regard for anyone else but themselves. I was giving them the selfish reason.
- cinquemb 14y agoAh, The Right Thing To Do™ I was expecting an invocation of a god or the State™ whims, but an appeal to some kind of morality not mentioned in relation to works just as well. /sarc
- willurd 14y agoIn this case you could make the argument that it's the right thing to do because it's (I'm assuming) what you would want done to yourself.
- cinquemb 14y agoYes, i'd gladly bend over and lubricate my own orifices for sacrifice to the State™ to tort its own laws in the hopes that in the future it will set a precedent for future generations to cope with more of the same :D /sarc
- willurd 14y agoYour sarcasm is duly noted, sir.
- cema 14y agoYou know, whatever works. If we agree it's a moral thing to do, the origin of the morality is less important. Philosophy can be debated... in a different thread.
- willurd 14y agoMorality is such a loaded word, which is why I didn't use it. But yes, another day, another thread.
- cinquemb 14y ago"whatever works." Well if the State™ has to circumvent it's own laws to achieve some ends (which i doubt are really ends since incidents like this will continue to happen), one could argue that grounds for morality are null and void. After all, that's what Terrorists™ do.
- glhaynes 14y agoJust FYI - the little ™ thing doesn't help your arguments be heard. Just the opposite. See also, people who write "Micro$oft".
- cinquemb 14y agoI recognize that, but i also recognize that people who are devout in their beliefs have little reason to think otherwise (it is a belief after all), so in the end i do it anyway for my own laughs :P
- ori_b 14y ago"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will not hear his Miranda rights before the FBI questions him Friday night.". Unless they're questioning an unconcious person, there is no gray area.
- cema 14y agoHeh, a good catch. :-)
