All to often, young men this age in Chechnya are involved in anti-government movements. Some of those movements are actually inspired against Russia by Western promises of democracy and if a people decides they too can have streets lined with gold.
Russia has actually become good at capitalism, however, it does not go hand and hand with democracy in the way it is defined in the USA. Russia is a communist nation, proudly so and organized around elections in recent times. I don't think it is necessary to play the silly game of what government style is better, the USA or Russia or China, it serves no purpose. But, that sort of stuff goes on in countries where disruption and violence serves the purposes of Neocons. Neocons within the US government, such as Bushies.
But, to dive into a hideous discussion is irrelevant, this is exported violence. I find it interesting marijuana was involved in the murder in 2011. Often 'gangs,' especially those out of Mexico and/or organized within the cities of this country use drug economies. It is nothing new in the USA. Crime networks have used drug economies since the time of Al Capone.
The young men in these events found their identity in violence, guns, bombs and anti-government propaganda. They decided somewhere along the line using marijuana as an income would be better than being unemployed and disenfranchised. Whatever occurred in 2011 was a gangland type assassination. That is how racketeering lives among common Americans, it doesn't touch the lives of most citizens, the murders are often between competing gangs. "The Godfather" if you will. It happens to be true.
If I am correct about this and I believe I am, the Boston bombing was simply the next step for the egos involved. The brothers didn't expect to be caught, so displaying their power and abilities is sort of parallel play with other gangs to prove their prowess and ability. I sincerely believe this is a gang issue. There are just too many young men of the same ethnicity finding each other through social networks. They identify with their ethnicity rather than being an American.
This has nothing to do with immigration, Russia, Mexico or any other country. There are gangs in Chinatown that have nothing to do with China, but, carry as their 'mantle' Chinese culture. This entire mess now coming to the surface is about money and power in a very old fashioned style crime network. It has nothing to do with Chechnya or Russia or any other nation. It is a group of young men of the same or similar ethnicity finding the freedom of the USA a real pleasure and easy to use as their lives did not work for them in the ways we provide.
I don't think of Boston as a place where gangs organize and develop 'no go zones.' That is something left to South Central LA. But, it seems to me this is all to obvious. There are young men unsuccessful and decided a gang carrying out violence and drug sales a viable way to make a living.
ORLANDO, Fla./WASHINGTON |
(Reuters) - A Chechen immigrant (click here) who was being questioned about his possible links to one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects was shot and killed by a federal agent in Florida on Wednesday after he suddenly turned violent, the FBI said.
A friend of the dead man identified him to Reuters as 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, who had previously lived in Boston and knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two brothers suspected of planting two bombs at the marathon on April 15, killing three people and injuring 264.
NBC News reported that Todashev had confessed to his involvement in an unsolved 2011 triple homicide in a Boston suburb that investigators believe was drug related, citing law enforcement officials....
