What's amazing is that even with one suspect dead, we don't know if these guys are foreign terrorists (Islamic or otherwise), domestic terrorists (right-wing or otherwise), or some sort of Columbine-style duo. So much information, but still no answer to that crucial question.

It's really difficult to think of foreign terrorists robbing a 7/11. Not impossible though, I suppose. Just very, very improbable.

Let's pull out all the cops who are trying to protect the people of Newtown right now and debate about this question.
 
I can't get Reddit to reliably load anymore and Fox feels like a god damn gif repeating the same shit again and again, is there anywhere I can refresh a page constantly and get updates?
 
man...times like these i am glad i live on the top floor. i'd be paranoid as shit if this type of thing was happening in my city and i was living in a single family home where some fools could easily hop your fence and get into your backyard...
 
Wow, just woke up to this. I live in one of the neighboring towns, used to live 2 minutes away from the Arsenal Mall (a pretty crappy mall, to be honest), and I went to MIT. This is all really fucking crazy.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again, it's the early morning you're going to get people going to work, jogging, walking the dog or cycling completely unaware of what's going on.

And these people won't hear police sirens? or have heard guns shots? or be told what's what, on their mobile phones? texts? twitter? facebook?

news like that can travel fast. But I guess there'd be some folks who aren't switched on...
 
Yeah. Most of the world doesnt know hats happening.

this.. if my night shift working flatmate did not send me a newslink, i would not be sitting here, following this thread. Hope the Boston PD takes him alive. would want to here the motives. Hang in there BostonGaf.

Well it has only been a few hours. Give it time.

The guy with the bullethole through his desk chair was on the 2nd floor man
 
I feel for anyone who needs police assistance but their issue isn't potentially linked to the bombers. I'm sure there are plenty of cops to go around, but I doubt one wants to spend two hours determining who's at fault in a minor traffic collision.

Hoodies are popular attire for morning activities like jogging, walking, etc. It potentially could make for an even more confusing situation. I hope the police robocalls were able to reach most of the residents living within the perimeter, but with more and more people relying on cell phones, who knows how many have a landlines or bother answering them.
