News reporting 2 explosions at Boston Marathon

[likwid]

They've been here 10+ years. This is just weird.
Older one was a boxer looking to get on the US Olympic team, the younger as above seemed to be a smart kid.

Weird crap!

[Slipknot]

just heard that after the firefight and carjacking, that one brother drove over the other brother

they will find this guy

[PaulS]

The older one went to Bunker Hill Community College. Does Robin Williams still teach there?

[BMEUPSCOTTY]

I know, I just forgot, never use them. I just heard them warn all officers that the guy might be wearing a suicide vest. Hope they get him without anyone getting hurt but the scumbag...

Airport security is doubled(but I am back home). Looks like they have every New England asset placed in Watertown. Lots of bad info being published without verification with regards to who these two really were....

[The Dad Fisherman]

The Media would NEVER do that....

[The Dad Fisherman]

Future instances like this...Twitter, Facebook and any other Social media sites should be shut down as Standard procedure....

Nitwits are posting on twitter everything they are hearing on the police scanners and pictures of where SWAT/Police are setting up in neighborhoods....WTF

[Fly Rod]

Need to give FBI a lot of credit for breaking this case so quickly....they did a great job

[nightfighter]

If reports of blood are true, he could be bleeding out or have already bled out. His adrenalin rush could still be in force if alive, but it also has increased his blood pressure for many hours now. He is 19 years old, and that age group is not known for their patience. His ability to maintain that fight or flight function is waning with each tick of the clock. But I could see them making a move within the next two hours.

[fishbones]

Supposedly the police had a body laying on the sidewalk in Watertown. Might be the a-hole they were looking for.

He's made it this far without being caught. Either very very lucky or very very smart.

Time is on the fed's side. Wait him out if you have him cornered and see if he has any more pipe bombs at hand. (some were found in his apartment)I think he is seriously wounded or already dead where he is holed up. The only thing most 19 year olds can do well over this many hours is sleep...... Worst case would be if he managed to slip out of the security ring last night, as he had more bombs ready to continue their agenda.

Good idea, and apparently the authorities feel the same... All the scanner links for the app I have were made unavailable not long after my last post... I heard they nipped it at the source and "shut down" (?) the scanners... Don't really know what that means. I can see how they would have the ability to make the streaming web links unavailable, but don't see how they could block old school, home-based, plug-in radio scanners... Did they switch to a special frequency, and if so, why not use it all the time, as it would seem to only benefit the criminals and the overly curious? (I'll admit falling under the later in unprecedented cases like this... I do not "tweet" as it were, and won't be to hard on myself unless I hear this guy is on SB... :-S)

Even down here near RI there were cops everywhere when I took a ride to Swansea about an hour ago... Not going near Dartmouth today, that's for sure...

kinda funny .... amidst all this violent disgusting acts of terrorism
i was just watching some replays of the watertown video's on CNN
from last night... and a shoot out's going on in the film
and the guy says: they're using real foking guns! ......which wasn't edited out

[The Dad Fisherman]

Mass Ave. Cambridge at noon on a Friday.....

I hope this guy feels and realizes the whole world literally is coming down on him. I've never seen such a huge amount of manpower and large manhunt in my life, pretty surreal. As the Pres. said, they'll leave no stone unturned go to the ends of the earth. he will be caught, and I hope it's soon

[FishermanTim]

The problem with a person like this is that with the feeling of the world closing in on him, he may decide to do something rash and really destructive as a "final blow" before he dies.

Secondly, if the report of his dead brother possibly training as a boxer to try and become an olympian, imagine if he had succeeded and did something like this at the Olympics?

I hope they do find the living brother and keep him alive long enough to get whatever info they can BEFORE he is executed (through legal process).

If he does survive, and he is sentenced to anything other than death, then we truly have given up (but we don't realize it).

Keep in mind that the Fort Hood terrorist (09) still gets a check from the Feds and is awaiting trial .

Oh.....they'll get him....he currently has the most famous face in the country.

[The Dad Fisherman]

Could always turn him over to the Russians...they are always kind to Chechen Rebels....

I've read pages of material on these 2 guys today and not one mention of how they earned money? Apartment in Cambridge, Mercedes benz, boxing at gyms, going to UMass. How did they live without income?

Thats not important to the media. All thats important is trying to find someone who'll talk crap about them, and they must be pissed, because they can't seem to find a single one.

Why would they need someone to talk crap about them?

UMD is the cheapest school in the UMass system, and he apparently had a scholarship. Don't know whether he was living on-campus or commuting, but it is possible to get there by public transportation (Dattco bus from Boston to New Beige, SRTA bus to UMD). Most of the media is focusing on him right now, with the brother being dead. I don't know whether anyone is looking into an employment history right now, beyond the fact that the guy on the loose worked as a lifeguard at Harvard's aquatic center. I believe that both of them were living on the top floor of a 3 decker with another brother, their sister-in-law, and a baby. That was being reported this morning, at any rate, with news that the two other adults were "taken into custody". Haven't heard anything since.

No way they acted alone.
Either others still not caught/suspected
Someone was sending them $, either from inside or outside the country.

Not sure about that. They had no money. they robbed a 7-11 then let the carjacked victim go after using his ATM card to withdraw money.
Heard one news guy call them Extremists with a homegrown element, or something to that measure.

I still doubt they acted alone...
