HAHAHAHAHAHA.....not funny.

At least this cartoon's consistent - a Chip off the old Bok if you will. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Also not funny.

Happy Fucking Friday, Reasonoids.

  It's no worse than the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoon.
2. Mike M. 12 years ago
  
  It's hilarious, because it's exactly the way these guys think.

    It's hilarious,...
    
    I think you mean frightening and embarrassing.
    1. Mike M. 12 years ago
      
      OK, I will admit that it's kind of weird that Boris Karloff is standing next to Obama. Other than that, I love it.

Chechens aren't lobbing crock pots at cops in bloody car chases and firefights in night time Boston, are they?
1. JeremyR 12 years ago
  
  Only because they've been radicalized by David Duke.
  
  (Seriously, I heard that from a leftie desperate to somehow blame Republicans for this)
2. Austrian Anarchy 12 years ago
  
  Just wait until they discover a college connection. I wonder how likely that is in the Boston area ...

There is simply no reason a private citizen needs a pressure cooker larger than 1 quart.
1. Austrian Anarchy 12 years ago
  
  Of course, ethnic Chechens have many cultural dishes that require greater than one quart capacity. In a show of solidarity with the Chechen community, I call for a capacity exception for them.

So, odds that the living bombing suspect will allow himself to be taken alive?

Andy Rooney is about to interrupt with a 'Did you ever wonder why the president's ears are so large? They look like the African continent, too.'

The bears who like to get high: Russian animals are so addicted to aviation fuel they sniff it until they pass out
1. db 12 years ago
  
  They're Russian, dude. That's like +3 to intoxication resistance so they have to get the strong stuff.
2. sarcasmic 12 years ago
  
  I posted that on the Morning Links like a month ago.
  1. Longtorso 12 years ago
    
    I was too busy huffing aviation fuel to see it.
    1. sarcasmic 12 years ago
      
      You're a bear?

Fluffy 12 years ago

I don't understand why they didn't just drive the Mercedes straight out of town.
1. db 12 years ago
  
  Who knows. Why call attention to themselves at all by robbing a store unless they are prpviding a distraction for something else--higher ups trying to escape, or another bombing, god forbid.
  1. Ted S. 12 years ago
    
    Or they were supsects, but not actually guilty.
    1. db 12 years ago
      
      So the best course for an innocent man suspected of a major crime is to rob a 7/11? I think they may have been.involved but I fear they are leading law enforcement away from something else.
      
      Pf couslrse the simple explanation is that they are not very smart people, they panicked when their photos got posted everywhere in the world, and decided to bug out with no money and no plan.
    2. Copernicus 12 years ago
      
      I agree.
      I think they confused this guy with the IED strapped to his chest and the bad guy with the IED strapped to his chest.

        The guy in the SUV is out looking for the real bombers.
2. benji 12 years ago
  
  Other than the cop chase?
  
  Of course I followed it live so I don't know the story now. But anyway, here's the shootout that ended the first dude:

  1. AlmightyJB 12 years ago
    
    Sounded like a gun range. That was quite a volley at the end.
Vince aut Morire 12 years ago

This guy has the jocular acuity of Bok Choy.
John Galt 12 years ago

That line was pretty much worn out within 12 hours of the Boston Marathon bombing, but, this time it's illustrated for the win.
Copernicus 12 years ago

I read another story about this somewhere. There was a fairly significant shootout and then one of the Bro's jumped back into the SUV and drove away. I would think SOP would be to have some portion of law enforcement take this opportunity (the shoot out) to disable the vehicle (shoot out the tires, at the very least)
1. benji 12 years ago
  
  Until it gets taken down I'll keep posting this shootout video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo1Ad6spkY
sarcasmic 12 years ago

It's a good thing that Massachusetts has such restrictive gun laws to keep people safe from criminals who carry guns despite what the laws say.
1. John Galt 12 years ago
  
  Are you being sarcastic again?
  1. JeremyR 12 years ago
    
    Well, clearly if police SWATs can't catch this guy, obviously no civilian could.
    1. John Galt 12 years ago
      
      More strict guns laws would have certainly resulted in a peaceful resolution to this senseless conflict over the tragedy in Boston that resulted in three people passing away.
      1. sarcasmic 12 years ago
        
        I'm just saying that the owners of the Merc that was carjacked are much safer being that they were prohibited from carrying weapons for self defense.
        
        Same with the residents of Watertown where the second bomber is at large.
        
        They are so much safer having to depend upon the police for protection than being allowed to defend themselves.
        
        Counterfly 12 years ago
        
        Look, those murderers don't want to hurt anyone. They just want to escape. Adding more guns to the situation is not going to help.
        
        The family gave up their car and it all ended peacefully. If they'd have fought back, especially with assault guns with combat grip magazines, it would have ended very differently.
        
        John Galt 12 years ago
        
        Man, nothing exciting ever happens around here where's everyone is armed to the teeth.
        
        Austrian Anarchy 12 years ago
        
        Did you see the noses on those Chechens?
  2. sarcasmic 12 years ago
    
    Me? Never.
2. Auric Demonocles 12 years ago
  
  My first thought when I got in my car and heard about the shootout being about 3 miles from my house was "I wish I could have easily brought my shotgun here when I moved down here."
  
  My second was "did they just say high capacity magazine? Fuck."
Underzog 12 years ago

When is Hit And Run going to do a story on the Muslim terrorist who did the Marathon bombing going to be written. I would have liked to post my article there.

Imagine that Muslim terrorists blowing up my Boston Marathon. I'm shocked I tell you. SHOCKED!

Maybe this is a good time for my "buddies" MNG and Fluffy to call me a Jewish racist. Maybe my best buddy here Ukbold can do another of his fine parodies of me (my nephew loves them), showing me as a bigoted, ignorant buffoon just as Muslim terrorists blow up America in order to construct their world wide caliphate.

"There's no need to fear. Underzog is here!"

"And thou shalt call him Ishmael and he will be a wildman. His hand against everyman and everyman's hand against him."

Genesis 16:22

"Rights are not involved in those primative societies.They make a deal with us. They want to bring us in to develop their oil and then they try to exploit and literally murder us by means of that oil. That is an unforgivable crime."

Ayn Rand's last appearance on the Phil Donahue show.
1. Mike M. 12 years ago
  
  They're just doing the terrorist bombings that Americans will no longer do.
2. Counterfly 12 years ago
  
  Come on, Underzog, think of all the cocktail parties they'd miss if they published something like that.
  
  Priorities, man. Priorities.
3. Fluffy 12 years ago
  
  Actually, Ishmael was the ancestor of the Arabs.
  
  Chechens are about as close to Arabs ethnically as Chinamen are.
  
  But I guess it's too much for me to expect you to understand your fucking baby talk Holy Book gibberish.
  
  BTW, in our last dispute, the issue was whether the person questioned at the hospital was suspicious because he was Saudi and had run (with everyone else) from the bombing.
  
  It turns out that guy actually was not suspicious after all, since the guys who did it were long-term local resident Chechens who strolled away from the bombing without a care in the world.
  1. sgs 12 years ago
    
    "Actually, Ishmael was the ancestor of the Arabs.
    
    Chechens are about as close to Arabs ethnically as Chinamen are."
    
    That's great, and I can see that it bother you that you made a fool of yourself, but he didn't mention Arabs in his post.
    
    So, either you can't read, or it's too much for YOU to understand plain text writing.
    
    The guys a racist asshole, but being an illiterate asshole yourself is no way to refute him.

Caucasians. Just as I suspected.

  Actually they were from Chechnya and not the Caucasus.

    Chechnya is in the north Caucasus region

What's funny about this cartoon is that in the news images Biden really did have that retarded, scowling pout-face going on. Obama looked a lot funnier though. B.O.'s expression was a kind of a pissed off prom queen who just got dumped sort of thing.
1. phandaal 12 years ago
  
  That's the face he makes literally every single time he's in the background of a news conference (aka, a lecture by his boss to the news).
  
  It's his seriousface. It shows us he's the right man for the job, sort of like how the sweater/bowtie/glasses combo shows us that progressive thinkers are smarter than we are.
