No information about what happened is out and yet you've all already jumped to the conclusion that he was executed, because you know, anyone police/military/government is a bad bad person.[/QUOTE]
I don't think you know what liberal means because it's completely irrelevant to this discussion.
Starpluck making a big deal out of nothing close to what happened
I am shocked
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40743609]you mean the article that has "FBI Agent Kills Man After Questioning Him About the Boston Marathon Bombing" as the title and
"The FBI only said that an agent "encountered the suspect while conducting official duties." as one of the taglines
the article is just as petrifying[/QUOTE]
The article is more than a title and tagline, there's more stuff on it you can read, you know?
Just another random act of greed/negligence. This story never to be heard about again. Just another day in the land of freedom.
Facepunch is a hivemind because everyone always latches on to the most popular opinion

okay have you read the entire article in the OP?
because the ENTIRE article paints it as an extra-judicial killing with no reason.

Yes I have
you wont ask me about my day?
[QUOTE=gnisasas;40743708]Yes I have

why are you questioning why people thought it was just an execution then because that is exactly the impression the entire article gives

[quote]The suspect's friend says they are both Muslim, but not radical, and says Todashev does not own a gun. Jon Williams of the BBC reported that the FBI agent conducting the interview shot Todashev, because he felt threatened.[/quote]
At the bottom of the article.
If felt threatened is all the defense he needs to kill someone I don't like that
And I don't like how it's "wrong" to question an official story that's so vague
[QUOTE=gnisasas;40743744]At the bottom of the article.[/QUOTE]
I'd be interested to know if that was in the original article because starpluck edited that in after he made the OP
if it wasn't in the original, I think people can be forgiven for flipping shit/missing one sentence at the end of the article if it was there when the OP was made

Well that I don't know, this is the article linked in the OP as 'source' by which I'm going [url]http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-agent-kills-man-questioning-him-boston-marathon-114808069.html[/url]
Recommended Title Change: FBI Kills Boston Bomber's Friend in Self-defense
Goddamn it, Starpluck, you are a moderator for chrissakes.
In my opinion, "promptly" in the thread title implies extrajudicial killing.
Promptly-[I]adv[/I]. carried out without delay.
As a whole the thread title implies the agent calmly shot the suspect after an interrogation without any provocation.
This is why it is very important to have clear thread titles, most people just copy the title straight from the source. Starpluck chose not too, and now we see what has happened.
[QUOTE=redBadger;40739181]this type of action should get the FBI agent detained and tried, and hopefully arrested.[/QUOTE]
(laugh)
that title, are you fucking kidding me
from a mod too
This is like heavy rain when jaden shoots that religious guy spooky

we're not the only place on earth where bad shit happens, it's not like when we go outside we have a high chance of getting hit by a stray bullet
[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;40740016]This forum follows a very predictable pattern. I cannot be the only one here who has noticed this.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, there are only about four different SH threads with various things replaced to make it look different. Especially the argument threads, since they're not at all about the subject matter and really are just endless namecalling.
This thread is the pinnacle of sensationalist headlines. Did no one even read the article or any other news sources for clarification? No, I guess everyone just threw on their tinfoil hats.

So let's see. According to several sources, the FBI agent shot the dude because he felt threatened. This was after the guy lunged at him. Doesn't matter if he had a knife or a gun or a goddam Predator shoulder cannon, he lunged at an armed dude that is trained to shoot people.
There still isn't a clear story yet, so saying that the FBI agent was "greedy evil corrupt pig cop," or that the guy who was shot was "evil knife-weilding maniac" is stupid. What do we do now? Wait until new news surfaces, hopefully not in a thread with an awful title followed by stupid kneejerk reactions.
What the actual fuck...

[quote]Two members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit died Friday while practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the FBI announced Monday in a statement.
The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw, other than to say the helicopter encountered unspecified difficulties and the agents fell a “significant distance.”
Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. And in February, it rescued a 5-year-old boy held hostage for six days in an underground bunker in Alabama.[/quote]
poor guys, gotta watch out for those helicopter drops.

Sounds like either 1) a cover-up conspiracy, 2) a one man assassin targeting people with a political agenda, or 3) both. I see no other possibitilies.

I'm assuming you know all about how our days go here in the United States, if your flagdog works (unlike mine), Mr. Canada.
There's no need to speak so foolishly.
