Didn't his high school classmate tell CNN he has a twitter?

 

[grimshawish]

Oh...I thought that was HIM on the scanner. No?

 

[Vire]

Still in building on second floor?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Damn. The police made Fox News turn their cameras off

 

[mercenar1e]

did i just hear on the scanner that suspect posted online he's going to kill everyone? and NYC update stated:
NYC UPDATE *ALERT TO POLICE* Lookout for Honda CRV, MA Plate #36ES9 - Poss heading to #Manhattan Male white may be wearing suicide vest

the NYC update would have been on TV already... maybe a fake?

 

[robertsan21]

this is going to end in a death. Wish they could have caught this guy and really tortured him for a year or 2 before they send him to his death

 

[maquiladora]

Seems the cops got trolled by that fake twitter account.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Yea please that fake twitter stuff is bullshit I hope they get that person if its fake. Who could do that

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Damn. The police made Fox News turn their cameras off

Yup

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks like it. Whoever Tweeted those things should get arrested.

If fake... He actually could. Some people who reported fake flood news during the big flood a few months back during New York (it was NY right?) got arrested and sued.

 

[Tugatrix]

how would he be able to access internet, is cornered in a neighbor being pursuit by the police, highly unlikely...

 

[computers putin']

yeah that twitter page is probably fake; social media, the gift and the curse.

 

[opticalmace]

I don't believe the online shit. Probably a fake account by some deadbeat...

i dunno. you'd have to be stupid as shit to fake something like that. the fbi is going to ram something up your ass for that.

 

[harmonize]

Yeah, whoever runs that fake twitter account should be getting a friendly visit from the FBI.

 

[Overdoziz]

Is it common that you can listen along with police? Never heard of something like that before and it seems a bit odd.

 

[ianswoody]

Seriously Boston dudes, take off your black hoodies!

 

[Acorn]

Not the suspect - scanner re black hoody guy

 

[sangreal]

HE spoke into the radio. ON THE LINE. I thought.

No, it was a cop saying "HE POSTED ON LINE I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER" which was tweeted to them by that fake account

Is it common that you can listen along with police? Never heard of something like that before and it seems a bit odd.

Yes. I believe they have encrypted channels they could use if they wanted to. Police scanners are commonly used by the media though

 

[MThanded]

Wait it is not the guy? What the hell. Some photog running around in the scene fucking everything up.

Seriously Boston dudes, take off your black hoodies!

Stay the fuck home.

 

[chickdigger802]

hope facebook and twitter cooperate with authorities and give up these asshole fake accounts.

 

[Samiad]

No way that twitter account is real - he'd take the time to upload a photo, and use one of the few publicly available photos of himself? No chance.

 

[Buzzati]

Some fucking dork out there taking pictures for his tumblr.

 

[Skab]

Black hoodie guy NOT the suspect

 

[everyday math]

I thought he said ill kill all of you on the radio?

 

[Various Artists]

Yeah, whoever runs that fake twitter account should be getting a friendly visit from the FBI.

That would be nice.

Yes.

 

[StrikerObi]

If fake... He actually could. Some people who reported fake flood news during the big flood a few months back during New York (it was NY right?) got arrested and sued.

And he should be, for interfering with a police investigation.

 

[Joel Was Right]

How can anyone be stupid enough to create a fake account on this, of all things, and threaten cops? This is surreal

 

[Crisco]

Well ain't this some shit to wake up too.

 

[slit]

Ok, regardless if the Twitter account was fake, was he really on the police scanner?

 

[Igo]

this is going to end in a death. Wish they could have caught this guy and really tortured him for a year or 2 before they send him to his death

lol what the fuck.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

how would he be able to access internet, is cornered in a neighbor being pursuit by the police, highly unlikely...

The twitter account looks fake but I'm sure he'll have a mobile with access to the internet.

 

[Hawkian]

"I will kill you all as you killed my brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev #watertown"

Do not take that as legit

People who post irresponsibly on twitter or reddit need to be held accountable. They can't get a free pass.

Yes

The internet has a unique role interfering in ongoing actions like this now...

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

No, it was a cop saying "HE POSTED ON LINE I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER" which was tweeted to them by that fake account

You don't know it's fake. Don't make assumptions

 

[Übermatik]

Is there a police scanner link up?

Yo wtf

Father of White Hat says his son is an accomplished student and an "angel"

 

[LiK]

If you see fake twitter just report as spam so it gets shut down.

 

[Jintor]

God there's a bunch of fucking dudes wearing black hoodies in the neighbourhood, I swear to god

A dude in a hoodie on a laptop was spotted on a porch... they're checking it out now

 

[EagleBurnn]

Yeah, whoever runs that fake twitter account should be getting a friendly visit from the FBI.

That edgy teenager will have an interesting day explaining that to his parents.

 

[tajd]

how did he get on there radio ?

 

[grimshawish]

Thats what I thought too. Some people said he spoke on the radio...?

Really confused now. People are also assuming that their taking it off the twitter. The sentence was repeated twice; not as written on twitter.

Does he even know though?

 

[smr00]

Yeah. Growing up i used to listen to police scanners all the time.

Granted at that time my dad was a cop and we would listen in together and he would explain what the codes were etc. Wanted me to become a cop.

 

[Shady859]

That twitter is fake, gotta be....... it's an hour old.. SCUMBAG kid who made it deserves to be shot in the face. Let the police do their work...


http://tunein.com/radio/Boston-Police-Fire-and-EMS-Scanner-s146109/


They in the house secured a guy but he a lookie-loo..




Also I saw on one of the the GMA type shows they interviewed a girl who he went to school with and she said the suspect DELETED his facebook account last night.

Yep, you've always been able to, even before the Internet.

An angel of death, maybe.

I could have sworn it sounded like that. It sounded like someone angry and with an accent more than a police officer, but no one else seems to say that, so I guess not. The following "Wait, what was that?" and silence made me think it was.
