THREE MORE MORONS ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE BOSTON MARATHON MASSACRE. HERE ARE PRIME EXAMPLES OF WHY THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS SCREWED.

Regular readers know I have little faith in our police departments and even less for the FBI. That being said I fail to understand anyone who would be helping, after the fact, two of the dumbest terrorists ever. The two actual bombers, one of which was in college somehow, perpetrated a second rate attack that did nothing other than fan even more hatred toward their own religion. They let themselves get caught on camera, knowing full well the FBI had their fingerprints, profile pictures and personal data. They had NO escape plan other than some dim witted attempt to get to NYC which, ironically, blew up in their faces. These were not some grand geniuses but more bumbling fools. To quote the Violator from the movie Spawn: "Why does God get all the good ones and we get all the rejects?" Here, here.

But besides the two idiots, one dead, one who might as well be, we now know that three more people have been arrested for either helping the two terrorists dispose of evidence after the fact or lying to the FBI, both federal crimes. This is from the Huffington Post:

Federal prosecutors allege that Dias Kadyrbayev, 19, and Azamat Tazbayakov, 19, tried to conceal and destroy a laptop and backpack full of fireworks belonging to Tsarnaev, a friend from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where they were all students at one time. They were charged with alleged conspiracy to obstruct justice by the U.S. Attorney's office in Massachusetts.
A third man, Robel Phillipos, 19, was accused of lying to law enforcement officials who questioned him about the bombing.

Phillipos called Kadyrbayev to say that Tsarnaev resembled one of the suspects in the photos released by the FBI on April 18, the affidavit said. Kadyrbayev sent text messages to Tsarnaev joking about the physical similarities. Tsarnaev wrote back saying "lol" and "you better not text me," which Kadyrbayev didn't take seriously, the affidavit said.

The three friends met in Tsarnaev's dorm room that night even though he wasn't there, according to Kadyrbayev's statements. While watching a movie, they noticed a backpack containing fireworks that had been emptied of the explosive powder.

"Kadyrbayev knew when he saw the empty fireworks that Tsarnaev was involved in the Marathon bombing," Agent Scott Cieplik swore in his affidavit. He then "decided to remove the backpack from the room in order to help his friend Tsarnaev avoid trouble."

He also took Tsarnaev's laptop, because he thought it would appear less suspicious to Tsarnaev's roommate, who was also in the dorm room. Tzahayakov told authorities that they also took a jar of Vaseline, which they believed might have been used to produce bombs.

Kadyrbayev allegedly told investigators that he threw the computer and backpack into the garbage after they agreed to try to protect Tsarnaev.

Cieplik's affidavit said that Phillipos gave inconsistent statements over four interviews with law enforcement. During the first three sessions, he, at times, denied taking the backpack and laptop from Tsarnaev's dorm and at other points he claimed not to remember what transpired.
During the fourth interview, Phillipos allegedly admitted that he had lied and then gave a revised statement similar to what Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov told authorities. He claimed that they met at Tsarnaev's room, searched his belongings and took his backpack before heading to the apartment that Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov share.

Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov "started to freak out, because it became clear from a CNN report that we were watching that Jahar [Tsarnaev's nickname] was one of the Boston Marathon bombers," Philipos recalled to authorities.

Phillipos said he was left out of the "majority" of the conversation, because Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov spoke to each other in Russian. He told authorities that Kadyrbayev asked what should be done with the backpack and fireworks they took.

"Do what you have to do," Phillipos allegedly told him before taking a two-hour nap.
When he woke up, the bag was gone and he "did not know for sure who took it from the apartment," the affidavit said
.
The backpack was found on April 26 in a New Bedford landfill, the affidavit said.
 
If convicted, Kadyrbayev and Tahayakov face five years in prison while Phillipos could be locked up for eight if found guilty.

"Inside the backpack, the agents recovered fireworks, a jar of Vaseline, and a UMass-Dartmouth homework assignment sheet," which came from a class Tsarnaev was taking this semester, the affidavit said.

Kadyrbayev and Tazhayako garnered separate unwanted attention for a BMW they drove sporting a vanity license plate that read, "Terrorista #1." CNN reports that they claim the plate was given to them as a joke from friends in Spain. A picture circling the Internet shows a "UMASS DARTMOUTH" tag on the plate as well.

Wow. Who drives around with a licence plate that says Terrorista #1? It would be like Ted Bundy driving around with RAPEKILL on the back of his car. And none of these brain powers, all of whom were in Dartmouth for God's sake, didn't think that even though the FBI can be dense as all getout, even they would be able to piece the puzzle together here? The first call they should have made after talking with a wanted terrorist should have been right to the FBI. Anything else was going to destroy their lives, which it now has. Any life here is over. They are going to get jail time and, immediately afterward, two will be deported back to their home country. The other, a US citizen, better like digging ditches because that is the only work he is ever going to get. No college will ever accept him and I doubt many will be lining up to hire him once his prison stint is done. They are SO screwed.

If this was a lone experience I wouldn't feel so bad but there are many, many more just like these guys. We shuttle our kids through school with rote memory dumps and no clear understanding how anything works. Half of those getting into college can barely read or write which makes me question how they got into college in the first place. Their parents are so overworked and underpaid that they barely have time to spend any time with their kids at all. And all of this is through a haze of violent video games, mind numbing TV and terrible, terrible books (Twilight comes to mind). I have no problem with any of that by the way, as long as parents are involved, and they are not.

Unless we start changing the way we live, the upcoming generations will be bull stupid, thick and most likely, fat. We need some common sense. And considering how Congress acts worse than even these three knuckleheads who have ruined their lives, covering for a friend, we are in deep, deep shit.
