Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

outstanding job identifying the suspects as it seems, but what WTF happened at MIT?
if the police were tipped off, i assume that they wouldn't have sent a single campus cop, but a SWAT team, right?
did the deceased officer disturb another attack attempt or was it just an encounter by chance (or did he disobey orders and approached them alone)?

I read that an MIT statement said that the cop sacrificed his life for the campus, which would imply he delayed or created a situation that provided enough attention to inform the police to the potential situation, and paid for his life in the process. The implication is that he was just an unlucky guy who came across these two guys.
 
if only the picture wasn't so small

HOLY SHIT THIS THREAD HAS DOUBLED IN SIZE SINCE I WENT TO BED THREE HOURS AGO?!

I just woke up to an alert call from my work, closed today. Fuck this is absolute insanity.
 
"AP: Surviving Boston bomb suspect identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass."

So Chechens...

Where is ChiTown's LOE friend now?

More importantly, who is going to compile the list of everyone who needs to apologize to Sunil's family for declaring him to be a terrorist because he disappeared from Brown due to depression issues?
 
If they are indeed Chechen then i think they bombed the Marathon in America to warn the world to not come to Sochi in 2014. Both being sporting events and all.
 
I don't get it, sure people are trying to help spread info and names, but why would you go onto someones twitter/facebook/etc and start swearing and making death threats when there's absolutely 0 confirmation that it's them (hell even after confirmation I don't get it)......
 
From the live stream:

How the heck do you even pronounce that?

I'm not saying we know anything either way, but I was half-hoping that the culprits were not foreign based as it would probably lead to more paranoid, isolationist, hate-mongering. Still, if the alternative means that they're domestics - well, that's just as crappy...
 
BREAKING: AP says surviving Boston bomb suspect is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19
 
Anzor Tsarnaev 47 Cambridge, MA
Ailina Tsarnaev 22 Cambridge, MA
Maret Tsarnaeva 45 Cambridge, MA
Tamerlan Tsarnaev 26 Cambridge, MA

All listed as living in Cambridge where Dzokhar is. Could be a coincidence but Id wager full family

Ages are wrong. Was said that the other brother was 3 years older.
 
Which is a surprise. However, they are both young guys, so most probably did play video games at some point. This will be used by old people to argue against video games.

With old grainy shots of Doom on the PC too no doubt.

Actually I think we might be moving away from that old argument, thankfully.
