Crashing Immigrant Dream at the Root of Bombers
See? It's our fault. You knew the progressives would figure out it...
But over the past four years, even as members of their extended family found their piece of the American dream, the Cambridge Tsarnaevs' experience in their new land curdled.
Maybe they would've been luckier in Detroit?
Money grew scarce, and the family went on welfare.
I recall a time when immigrants 1) were expected to be able to fend for themselves and 2) worked their hind ends off to make sure they could...
And just like today, the ones who couldn't hack it went home, though it isn't talked about much.
Zubeidat was accused of stealing from a department store. Anzor's business, never prosperous, faded. When the mother found solace in a deepening religiosity, the father, icy to such devotion and ill with cancer, went home to Dagestan, a place that was never really home to start with.
Awwwwwwwww........... I feel bad for them already.
And the boys underwent transformations so dramatic that some friends could barely recognize them: Tamerlan in his early 20s embraced a harsh, separatist brand of Islam and in a couple of years went from wishing his neighbor a merry Christmas to angrily attacking a Muslim grocer for advertising a Thanksgiving charity food collection.
All by himself, I bet. No outside influences, no mullah-madness. Nah!
And no one said, "dang, that boy has become so weird I think I shall call the authorities." Of course, the authorities wouldn't have listened and the caller would have been accused of a 'hate crime'...
The change in Dzhokhar, now a college sophomore, became apparent only in the past few weeks, and even then seemed to be tacked on to his existing lifestyle rather than displacing it. Less than two weeks before the marathon, Dzhokhar, previously known to friends as a stoner always up for a beer and a blunt, told a college friend that he no longer cared about his classes, that religion and God were the only true things in life.
Too bad he picked the former, rather than the latter. Front-page, above-the-fold, WaPo, by the way.
