An Open Letter to the Department of Justice

Gary Schafer, 19 April 2013

First, let me say to the Boston PD, Watertown PD, Cambridge PD, FBI, ATF, and the other law enforcement agencies, "Well done!" You captured one of at least two people responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings from just four days ago. As I was perusing various web sites, I came across this tweet from Senator Lindsey Graham stating, "If captured, I hope Administration will at least consider holding the Boston suspect as enemy combatant for intelligence gathering purposes."

Here's my recommendation: Don't. Just don't. No "enemy combatant". No rendition. No shipping to Gitmo. Put him in the federal courthouse in Boston. Let Boston deal with him. Give him the treatment he so richly deserves, that of a nothing-little punk. A scrawny, cowardly bitch. I'm willing to bet large sums you can still find 12 upstanding citizens and true to serve on a jury. Let Boston continue to show him and the world, "We took what you gave us, and we're about to give it back. Bitch."

If that's not a good incentive to the world not to fuck with Boston, I don't know what is.

Here's a Random Fact...
