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

That's what I thought as well at first.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Looks like the police think the twitter is real if they are focusing on some guy on his laptop now

 

[IHaveIce]

Who thinks it is funny with this twitter accounts seriously ..

 

[Milchjon]

FOX News is speculating about how the law enforcement will advance. Speaking about the use of chemicals or stun grenades and dismantling the walls.

 

[MThanded]

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

Let all of these guys have the FBI knock on their door. Some ridiculous stuff.

 

[robertsan21]

lol what the fuck.

to get some information obviously

 

[sangreal]

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

it makes no difference to anyone if I make that assumption, which I will

 

[Jezbollah]

Is there a police scanner link up?

Father of Boston bombing suspect says son is accomplished medical student and `a true angel' (via Associated Press)

Well he's not quite the angel right now.

 

[GamerSoul]

The random reports and quotes being thrown in is making me nervous fake or real. Man

 

[Rootbeer]

i just woke up. the last page of this thread is REALLY goddamn confusing

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

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

:thud:

 

[lil smoke]

lol what the fuck.

I tend to agree with him!

 

[BruiserBear]

People making fake Twitter accounts while something like this is going on. That's a special kind of sad.

 

[lenovox1]

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

In the States? Anything that isn't cell phone waves are basically fair game. There are channels that they can switch to for more privacy. They want all law engorgement officials to be asks to listen in in this case.

i sawa guy on fox in a house in a yellow shirt is this a different house

One of the great things about the United States. Police convo have always been on open airwaves. You used to need a scanner to listen to it or a radio that could pick up that signal. now with the internet it's very easy

What is the Boston stream again? I can't find it here at work...

 

[strafer]

holy shit

 

[GoddyofAus]

Gunfire on police scanner???!

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Angel of death more like.

 

[Gruso]

Hoodies everywhere, Hot Fuzz up in this. Starting to doubt their guy is anywhere near here.

btw, the guy was never on the radio. It was just an officer reading out his supposed tweets (which were almost certainly fake).

 

[redmetal86]

Nvm.

 

[Hawkian]

what the hell was THAT

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

it makes no difference to anyone if I make that assumption, which I will

You're stating it like it's a fact. Let's keep speculation out of this unless you are certain

which you're not

 

[F!ReW!Re]

i just woke up. the last page of this thread is REALLY goddamn confusing

Attempted to rob 7-11, they killed an MIT police officer, hijacked a car, stole a police vehicle, threw explosives out of window during chase, got into firefights in neighborhood, one of them died from being shot to death by the cops and a bomb vest going off(suspect 1), and the other is hiding and there's supposedly bombs planted all over the place(suspect 2) .

This was the DA statement and press conference earlier, may be off since I just jotted it down, but is generally what I heard across those sources:

Quote:
-something at MIT (Building 32? led to shooting of MIT cop (died))
-carjacking in cambridge, kept hostage for 30 minutes
-robbery attempt at 7-11
-another carjacking at some point (?)
-car chase (?), grenades thrown out, explosives maybe of some sort
-shootout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo1Ad6spkY
-suspect #1 (black cap) dead
-suspect #2 (white cap) still on the loose


Also note that the first suspect was run over as #2 tried to escape. According to news sources now.

Stray bullets from earlier firefight:

The bullet actually went through his chair.

ugh, ok, I got 4 hours of sleep, when I needed 3, and now late to work.

So what did I miss? First I see is the guy's name (not the missing kid) and something about dead brother.

Father of Boston bombing suspect says son is accomplished medical student and `a true angel' (via Associated Press)

Sorry pops but your son lost his wings.

 

[Bodacious]

"I will kill all you like you killed my brother." This is getting intense. Wow.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Was that gunfire? Sounded just like someone walking. Come on guys.

 

[ActStriker]

wtf was that noise on the scanner?

 

[everyday math]

So wait. How do we know its fake?

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Surely someone posting fake info can be prosecuted later for obstruction of justice or something? It's the same as lying to police.

 

[Skab]

how did he get on there radio ?

He wasn't on the radio. People mistook an officer reporting what was posted online.

 

[slit]

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.

Thanks, I'm at work so I can't listen to the scanner.

 

[chickdigger802]

who tells the truth about shit to parents when studying abroad?

I'm not drinking and partying everyday.

This one?

[Dastardly Jerks]

So wait. How do we know its fake?

Stock photo, account created in the last hour. You do the maths.

 

[Something Wicked]

Even though it's a fake account, someone should respond back: "Hey, pal, you're the one who ran over him."

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

haha, okay that made me laugh

 

[Joel Was Right]

I can just imagine the conversation the father and his brother (uncle) are going to have after their comments to the media :/

Sweet, FBI has HRT out there. Don't see those guys on TV too often.

 

[MThanded]

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

The account was made within the last few hours.

 

[Allforce]

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

With Verizon you're only a click away from harassing police on the nations largest 4G LTE network!

 

[Talon]

So wait. How do we know its fake?

1. Account is an hour old.
2. Using a publicly available photo.
3. Occam's fucking Razor

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — The father of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing claims that his son who is still on the loose is a smart and accomplished young man.

Anzor Tsarnaev spoke with The Associated Press by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala on Friday after police said one of his sons, 26-year-old Tamerlan, had been killed in a shootout and the other, Dzhokhar, was being intensely pursued.

"My son is a true angel," the elder Tsarnaev said. "Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."

[GavinGT]

He wasn't on the radio. People mistook an officer reporting what was posted online.

Shit sounded chilling, unlike the other officers who are all devoid of emotion. So yeah I was mislead at first.

 

[sangreal]

So wait. How do we know its fake?

We don't, but it is a pretty blatant fake. Account created an hour ago using the photo from his widely publicized "facebook" page spouting nonsense
