All of the people who slandered Sunil earlier: you are part of the problem. Hope his family can press charges.

Press charges for what?

 

[Nabs]

@evanmallen: Cops shutting down Norfolk ave in Cambridge for operation telling everyone to leave @BostonDotCom

 

[Expendable.]

 

[fabricated backlash]

I feel bad for this dude caught up in the internet detective work.

This isn't detectives work. It's a shameful witch hunt done by self indulgent screen jockeys that have no professional ethics and no idea about the damage that they can actually create just because they want to play Sherlock Holmes or CSI Miami.

 

[MarkusRJR]

What happened? Just woke up, and there's no summary or anything in the OP.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Did they really drop/place bombs all over Boston? This is getting Gotham City-crazy.

 

[Various Artists]

fuck, they just mentioned Faneuil Hall now? WTF? The whole city on lockdown now? I don't want to go to work.

Dont dude. Its not worth it. I am sure your manager will understand, this is an extreme circumstance.

 

[MThanded]

I knew they should have moved in before sunrise. This guy is a damn cockroach. Where the hell is he?

 

[Slime]

Am I understanding this right?

-Guy was seen trying to catch a ride
-Cops find cab in the area, near 464 somethingerother (Commonwealth?), and arrest the passengers
-Photos of the passengers are sent in, they say they check out, and the passengers are released
-Later, detonation occurs at 464 somethingerother
-Now cab is seen en route to a courthouse?

I hope I'm misunderstanding that. It would be horrible if they accidentally released the guy.

this is what im listening to working for

That's not working on my s3

 

[Velcro Fly]

juniors dropping like flies in this topic

going to bed shortly. i have faith that these police are going to find him, one way or another. hopefully there aren't bombs set to go off everywhere and that there are no more casualties.

 

[ActStriker]

Anyone want to give updates on what happened since 4/5 AM? All I know is the T is on lockdown, and people lockdown was extended to areas around Watertown (incl. where I live)

 

[Vilix]

Boston PD about to do a controled explosion in the car that they abandoned.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Amazing what can all unfold in 12 hours. Surreal watching some of the footage on the news.

 

[Parakeetman]

This little shit isn't being taken alive.

Cant get intel from a dead body.

Gotta capture him alive, seeing how the other is room temp. Wont get any useful information otherwise.

 

[captainnapalm]

Pretty much yeah.

Damn. Why would Chechnyans bomb the US? I don't know much about that situation. I guess the US supports Russia against Chechnya, but still, wouldn't you rather want to bomb the Russians? They are your real enemies.

 

[Anton668]

have the juniors been drinking the blue kool-aid lately?!?!

 

[Milchjon]

What is with you juniors man? Russian/Chechnyan isn't white now?

Hmm? He's talking about the reactions towards muslims?

 

[Coldsnap]

This little shit isn't being taken alive.

Yea, there's no way.

 

[Solo]

Just woke up. Slept all through....ALL of whatever happened. Is there a good summary somewhere?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

CNN isn't going with the names yet. It's amazing, when they're wrong their first. When they're right they're last.

 

[Macho Madness]

They played video games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9onSgQUdV-s

 

[maquiladora]

Could be another mistake though.

CNN Breaking News ‏@cnnbrk

Police activity taking place in Boston's Kenmore Square. Two people in handcuffs.

 

[sangreal]

cabs are private entities most of the time

Yes, but in major cities like Boston they're heavily regulated through a medallion system

 

[Riggs]

LOL well done, I wonder how many will get this.

 

[flyover]

I have only just woken up and was going from the info in the first post, do you have a link please?

or

[Ushojax]

We need to turn on the Bat-signal, this shit is getting crazy. It seems like they've rigged devices across town.

 

[Foffy]

What happened? Just woke up, and there's no summary or anything in the OP.

They're on the hunt for the Boston terrorists. They're brothers, and one of them is dead. They're targeting the living one.

 

[CrankyJay]

I heard the other bro had an IED strapped to him. Chances aren't great.

 

[benjipwns]

What's shocking is, the US has been condemning Russia for its tactics against radical elements in Chechnya for almost 15+ years. And it turns out terrorists from Chechnya, not only have been living in the US and going to school here, but have probably been plotting this for over a year.

What's shocking about that?

Been with this thread since Midnight-Central Time. It has truly been a wild, wild ride. I truly hope they get this fucker before he bleeds out.

Yeah, this was kinda crazy. Especially since all we had were the scanners and local news. The cable 24/7 news was AWOL for three hours.

All of the people who slandered Sunil earlier: you are part of the problem. Hope his family can press charges.

People see what they want to see. Having an answer settles things.

lol hes fabulous

guy had a Mercedes? he had money.

 

[Manmademan]

Same goes for catholic priests, and every other group, ethnicity etc.

yeah, no. the catholic church has been busted MANY times covering up abuses by priests. That's a legitimate problem with the organization.

 

[MThanded]

Wait someone is wearing one of the suspect's clothing? WTF?

Where is this guy?

 

[tajd]

Amazing what can all unfold in 12 hours. Surreal watching some of the footage on the news.

notting for days then boom

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Damn. Why would Chechnyans bomb the US?

Radical Islam.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Hmm? He's talking about the reactions towards muslims?

Oh yeah my mistake. I been up all night.

 

[Kajiba]

Man this is crazy.

 

[dkeane]

Anyone want to give updates on what happened since 4/5 AM? All I know is the T is on lockdown, and people lockdown was extended to areas around Watertown (incl. where I live)

Not much. Some cabs being stopped. Turn on WBZ. They're (police) at one of their houses

 

[WowBaby]

I'm surprised they're from Russia. I had leaned more towards domestic terrorism.

 

[Pineconn]

[MutantCyborg]

Tune in app doesn't work for me.
The scanners won't connect. Any idea?

The scanner took about 5-10 minutes for mine to connect. Maybe just try and keep it up, im using my phone if that helps any.


Can anyone link me to a post about Reddit accusing a missing college student? I must've missed that.

lol hes fabulous

looks like the same sunglasses from the bombing.

Maybe.

 

[B!TCH]

Problem is: most people still think all Muslims look like Osama with long beards, wearing "dresses", etc..

something,something, ignorant...

Sure but the problem now is that ALL muslims are going to be profiled on the basis of their religion alone, is that really better? These guys didn't even come across as all that radicalized from what we know so far...

I'm surprised they're from Russia. I had leaned more towards domestic terrorism.

Me too. Wishful thinking on my part :\

 

[Batman]

We need to turn on the Bat-signal, this shit is getting crazy. It seems like they've rigged devices across town.

I am definitely not getting involved.

 

[coldfoot]

These images made me think of X-COM.

@BuzzfeedAndrew did a good job in his tweets over the last 6 or 7 hours:

[TheLaughingStock]

CNN isn't going with the names yet. It's amazing, when they're wrong their first. When they're right they're last.

They're more worried about figuring out who would be best at saying this is CNN.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Dont dude. Its not worth it. I am sure your manager will understand, this is an extreme circumstance.

I'm still hoping they close the office today. Most everyone in my office takes the MBTA so if that's not running they won't be able to get to work. Too bad I live within walking distance :/

 

[RawNuts]

I woke up for a bit, then checked the news; definitively not going to sleep now.
