Reading some of the comments on a few sites and there a few people saying Meb is not a real American. Some people make me sick.

Listen, until a full-blooded Cherokee wins, it doesn't count.

Edit: Seriously, the guy's family escaped from the civil war in Eritrea in the 80s, he and his siblings all eventually graduated from UCLA, where he had numerous track honors, and his brother and sister and now an attorney and a doctor, respectively. And he had the names of last year's victims written on the corners of his bib. If he isn't a real American then the concept has lost all meaning.

My acid test to this is usually whether or not the person would be/want to be American if athletics didn't have a role. If he's been here since the 80s there isn't much to argue about.

Conversely, I do not like it when citizenship is taken just for the sake of advancing one's self in international competition. Thankfully with track and field you don't usually see it because if you are skilled you would advance regardless.

Was hoping Shalane Flanagan of Boston would win the women's side. No shame though as she finished 7th.

Bull. Sh-t. Instead of lethal injection, I'm all in favor of strapping a bomb to his chest, driving him out to the desert, and exploding it.

If he made any statements before being Mirandized, then are such statements inadmissible? I ask the lawyers out there for help.

Personally, I make him a tour guide on the Russia / Ukraine border wearing a Target shirt.

It depends. Was it a custodial interrogation? In other words, was he in custody (not free to leave, even if not under arrest) and did the police, through actions or words, elicit the response? If the answer to both of those is yes, then anything said under such circumstances is inadmissible unless he was Mirandized. If the answer to either one is no, then it's admissible.

Hell, why bother exploding it?? Just point him to where the trigger is about a half mile away and just make sure that there's nothing around him for 20 miles. Let him pull the trigger or try to make it to water on foot himself.

No, we should not kill this man. Didn't this guy and his corpse brother claim that they were doing this for Islam? If yes, we would make a martyr out of him by killing him. Let him rot in prison.

Brenthoven's Method Of Punishment (for scum like this):

Bullet in each joint. EVERY joint. Knuckles included (use .22s). Let him heal. Do it again and again, until he dies naturally or offs himself.
