Boston Bombers: The Dreadful Lesson for Terrorists

I was wondering too much about some topic, first I was: "nah, forget it".
But damn. It was consuming my mind. So yeah, blogging to spit it out.

In this Boston Bombing all the conspiracy stuff came back with strength. In this information era, people are so full of fragments and TV series that they are full of half but absolute opinion. Is kinda like a friend told me about Kant. YEAH... I have a fragment information about Kant, but anyways: he is a guy that never get out his hometown, so he live in the world of ideas. Uh, ok. I can live with that.
That is no problem at all, but as Mark Twain state:

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

Maybe Kant don't need it at all. But you and me dude, maybe we need shake our asses from internet.
In my opinion, Internet is a whole village of vegetating people. I imagine kinda like medieval villages where people were afraid of everything, and they was stupid enough to think a simple flu was something cast by god hate or stuff. Ok, with this picture in mind and comparing with some of the world reaction it frighten me one thing: the lesson that can be learnt.

I will not state who is wrong or right. Who is the victim or the culprit. On this case I will only say: yeah, strange! Two brothers, young guys, simple expression on the face, types that can be anywhere. As flu. A brother is killed while on a car chase throwing grenades around streets. Another one hurt the throat and cannot speak. Locked in a hospital room. Signed a confession. Pretty smooth, uh?

Some people say: not enough proofs. USA said: signed confession. So, now what?

In facebook people were like: "no, way" "lies" "look his face, he looks virgin". A lot of picture of the bombers smiles and casual life.
Meanwhile in the internet, they got some pictures of guys with large backpacks and serious expression: the perfect terrorists: ready to blow people with awfully disguises. But, yeah. Suspicious. Let the old friend fear take our hopes.

You are walking on your kitchen, at night. Some dark spot in the wall. Holy crap! If you are afraid of cockroaches, you will see a fat roach looking at you. If you are afraid of geckos, you gonna see a gecko. If you turn on the lights you may see a spot that always been there, but you never notice it at night yet. So, after a bombing, you see two serious guys with large backpacks?



They can be the bombers. Why not? They can even be bombers that were kinda of late. And some another group exploded first, and they were like "Oh, fuck". Holding the devices and calling it a day. Or they can even be something worse: guys with huge backpacks. Only.

Now there is a lot of guys saying USA is lying about it. Hiding the true bombers. That they exploded themselves to have a reason to invade Korea (?). Bla, bla, bla. Fuck Mc Donalds. Donald Trump sucks.
Yeah. If I were a terrorist I would have learnt a dreadful lesson on this episode.

Bearded man with angry face is no good. Yeah, they can explode things all right. But this will only raise a rage against the evil bearded and ugly man and official reprisals. So, no good. It should get young boys, with cute baby face. The maternal/paternal feeling will urge in peoples hearths around the world. The bomb effect per se is quite minimum than the mistrustfulness feeling it would cause in my victim neighbours. Pretty neat for a terror act, uh?

So, the problem is not the true guilty at all, but on how the fuck we are still thinking? We live in a moment where people are fighting for freedom. To be. To choose. Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, Homosexual, Tattooed, Indian, Retired Pope. _o_

In the end we fear what we do not know. Conspiracies. Dark spots on wall. Bearded man. So, a baby face may threat us not. And here lies the danger. You can spit on the bible, dude, but Lucifer is described as a beauty angel of Light. Ok, no religion, so...ok: the beauty queen transforms herself on a harmless (not the ugly witch disney version, for the sake of example) old woman to poison Snow White. ...yeah. ¬¬ You got the message.

The disney version with an ugly witch is just to teach (wrongly) children the notion of danger.
Do we still act like children nowadays? 

I worked on a store that was robbed by a sympathetic old woman and her down syndrome grandson. The security camera show it. No one would suspect. I not saying Dzhokhar Tsarneav "is guilty and period". But he can be! Why not? Since when human face is a determinant factor?

People have opinions on internet. Ok, no biggy. But these opinions are getting stronger and full of hate.  Discussions with friends and known people with tone as: ignorants fools!! Why? What is happening? Fear? Ostracism? Guys, chill up! Fuck.

IMHO, USA should forgive this boy. Hate is not cured by death. But love. Yeah, kinda hipster. But think about it. I know it is hard. You lost your children, your leg, your foot. But tomorrow it can be your city. Your country. Your world. All good medicine has bad taste and are hard to take. As Jamiroquai would say: Don't give hate a chance!



We can do this guys. Without opinions or fear.
Just put in mind that everything is fine. Lest move on. Together.

Portuguese Version extracted from my facebook:

Nessa história de Boston não sei exatamente quem possa ser culpado ou inocente. Realmente muita coisa estranha, mas ainda assim... o ponto que dá medo nisso tudo é outro: a lição aprendida. 

Na TV rola uma informação que o suspeito seria um guri x e ao olhar a imagem a reação rápida foi: "jamais! olhem para ele, moh virgem". ...

Na internet pegaram uma imagem duns caras com umas mochilas "aparentemente" uniformizados e a internet achou os suspeitos perfeitos. Tá, poderiam até ser os culpados mesmo, não tenho nada com isso. Ou poderiam até ser uma outra galera que tb queria explodir alguma coisa (com um péssimo disfarce por sinal), mas veio outro grupo que explodiu antes. Ou até simplemente caras com mochilas grandes.

O desconhecido é o melhor dos medos. É noite, vc vê um ponto escuro na cozinha. Pra quem tem medo de barata, é uma barata. Quem tem medo de lagartixa, vê lagartixa. Vc liga a luz e percebe que era uma mancha que sempre esteve lá, mas nunca reparou nela a noite.
No caso das mochilas e pose séria dos rapazes: terroristas com bombas. Ponto.

E uma galera pesou na visão contra os EUA e apoio aos "suspeitos"
http://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2013/04/suspeito-de-atentado-em-boston-ganha-grupos-de-apoio-na-internet.html

A tal da lição aprendida: marketing pessoal terrorista.
Se eu fosse um terrorista "random" teria aprendido uma lição mto boa. Homens barbados e adultos não vingam. Tá. Podem até explodir um canto ou outro com sucesso. Mas o efeito seria apenas ódio contra o agressor barbado e feio.

O esquema é pegar guris novinhos com carinhas de inocente. Nomes complexos tipo Al-Qaeda? Nah: Backstreet Bombers!! O efeito da bomba seria pequeno perto do número de inimigos que um rostinho limpo causa na galera. Efeito "paterno" "materno"...sei lá. Seria rápido a desconfiança contra a própria "vítima". E sem essa de AMERICA CONSPIRACAOUNNN, SEM PROVAS, CHUPA MCDONALDS. Tô falando da lição aprendida e não do que "seria ou não" verdade no caso de Boston.

Pq nesse caso eu tb faço parte da galera que acha isso bizarro: dois guris suspeitos, um morre jogando granada numa perseguição, outro, que havia ido para uma festa, machuca a garganta e não pode falar. Internado fechado num hospital. "Confessa" tudo com uma caneta. Uau. O.o Ae aqui falam da falta de provas, ali falam de confissão assinada. Bah! Muito ativismo do mundo por um problema alheio na minha humilde opinião.

O problema que me grilou mesmo é o tanto que imagem ainda é um fator determinante num mundo onde as pessoas brigam por direito de ser o que bem quiser: exu, cristão, tatuado, barbado, homosexual, índio, john diaz.

No final todos nós temos medo do feio/estranho/que não podemos compreender.

Dá até para entender pq antigamente galera queimava um ao outro na fogueira. Ah, se na internet o fogo ardesse.... Isso me lembra esse vídeo:
