assumption of guilt

The surviving Boston bomber had been charged with use of weapons of mass destruction. Since when are terrorists’ home made bombs WMD’s? I saw a VoxPox on television asking people whether his rights should be read. Many replied that they should not but some said he waived his own rights when he bombed the marathon. Whatever happened to the right to a fair trial and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty? Parallel to this the discussion about the right to bear arms continues. Did the American people waive that right when they started shooting each other’s children?
 
I also find it quite alarming that the police could shut down the city and tell people to stay in their homes. Since when did the police have the right to do that?
 
The whole thing is quite disturbing.
