Apparently he ran into the cops or something last night so they made him strip down to make sure he wasn't packing heat/bombs. Not sure what eventually happened to him though.

Last I knew: Naked Guy was a dude who was just out at night, ran into a shit load of cops and smartly put himself on the ground. Then the cops stripped him (so no bombs) and checked him out and he got released.
Not perfect, but considering the circumstances.

They made him strip as they'd just had another suspect with an IED on his body. Turns out he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Bullets can go through brick in the real world. Not a .22 but a higher caliber for sure.

Muslim extremists, yes.
I remember them saying it specifically when they were clearing one of the houses. Could have been the homeowner's name.

Are they American? Where are they from? And do we know for sure that they're Musilm radicals or is it just an educated guess?

A suicide vest and trigger is "safety first" business. Changes the whole dynamic.

Honestly? If this were someone of my family, I'd feel the same way. They do deserve getting a bullet to the face.
He doesn't. Chances are he was in the way of the cops and arrested for his own safety. He is already released.

On the body of suspect #1.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I just want to go do my laundry. This entire city needs a fucking vacation.

They found him alive. Then he was shot, run over and partially blown up. THEN he was dead.
They didn't detain him naked. They stripped him to make sure he didn't have a bomb on him.

It would depend on if they came up with the plot by themselves or if there was funding/training/support etc. from outside, then it would be considered international rather than domestic.
It's such a fluid and ongoing situation though that it's not possible to know any of that now.
I know there are a shit-ton of posts, but just read back a few pages, follow some links, and all your curiosities will be sated.

Highly unlikely, just extremely unfortunate and in time, bloody hilarious.

Not part of the solution...
Jesus christ... Hopefully they didn't hit any innocent people.
Sounded absolutely insane.
They arrested him because they thought he was the 2nd suspect. There was quite a delay while they ID'd him as a witness and not the suspect (since they had him on the ground/stripping/etc for ages), which may have something to do with why Suspect 2 is outstanding.

"Hey man, you know those Boston suspects that attacked that place near us? Yeah I just saw him! Cool, huh!?"
Will do. I know they're Russian, that's about it.

Waiting for captain janks to call in.
I don't think you can clearly link their religion to their crimes... at the present time.
Adam (I think) on Channel 7 - confirmed, one is a wrestler, the other a boxer - collegiate opportunity to pursue the thing (scholarship link?). Friend was stunned to learn they could be accused - 'normal guys', partying, etc - at least 6-7 years in the country.

Guesses from their social networking. We know for certain that one was born in Russia, one in Kyrgyzstan, and apparently of Chechyen descent. But that's unimportant detail to FieryBalrog.

But logically, it shouldn't be for various reasons, least not the self-evident insinuation that all those who identify themselves as Muslims are a threat to people. All it's doing is playing on stereotypes that have fuelled violent xenophobia that has flirted with racial prejudice; it shouldn't be given any legitimacy by an International news outlet much less any one with common sense.
This is why many here, including the Mods thankfully, are intolerant of the evocation of their faith --- not in itself as a statement of fact, or one of relevance in the greater scope of their identity -- but the separate, louder, narrative it feeds amongst our national conscious.

Read the OP, but they are from Chechnya, they're main religion is Islam over there as far as I know. One of their youtube channels had some Muslim extremists type stuff favorited and what not.
Ha, thanks. Dude needs to work on the internal rotation of his right arm. Probably from too much bench pressing, you should be able to put your arms behind your back in a hand cuff position without the glenoid pointing that forward.
