More people dropping off bags around the city? Wtf?

probably false alarms.

when people are told to be "vigilant" and keep an eye out for anything suspicious, there's going to be all sorts of reports, people seeing all kinds of things.

 

[gutshot]

So can someone explain how the second suspect got away? I mean, he was in a firefight with a bunch of police, did they just let him run/drive away? How were they not able to pursue him?

I think it was the threat of explosives that held the police back enough for him to get away.

 

[Lombax]

Man I live in lowell, and have class today. I'm not sure if I should go to class.

I live in Westford, my wife and daughter are at home. Whats going on? I am at work.

 

[Brinbe]

yeah, dropped a bag and ran off... even if it's not related, that doesn't sound normal

 

[Joel Was Right]

I saw it. It specifically referenced Islam and terrorism.

I'm sure many Muslims in the West have searched for videos on Islam and its relation to terrorism on the web.

 

[teh_J0kerer]

Police are armed with non lethals, they want this guy alive.

I don't get it.. if non lethal bullets are sufficient for this situation, then why aren't they sufficient for every situation?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Do we really need those annoying 'omg i just woke up what happenz' posts every 5 posts? It's already confusing enough to compile whats going on with all the different sources, twitters, reddit bs, various medias and scanners to figure out whats really going on; and having some clown asking for a personal recap every 10 seconds is annoying as FUCK.

I know amateur moderation is forbidden but this is just ANNOYING

So...

 

[DietRob]

Ok guys lets not be lazy. I woke up and the thread had progressed 109. Pages.

Just skip 5 pages at a time. It's not that hard. You'll find everything you need.

Or the OP. Like I did this morning.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

I'll do another summary:

Summary:

For those waking up here is the summary of what happened in Boston overnight. 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.

Have local news been saying Chechen suspects? Just started listening in and they keep saying "Russian". :/

Easier to generalize. They're not white, so that's all that really matters :/

I'm sure many Muslims in the West have searched for videos on Islam and its relation to terrorism on the web.

That's not what he searched for, it's what he marked as favorites.

That is crazy... I'm not from Boston but I do sometimes work in the city for a few months at a time and also visit frequently. Just nuts to see something like that.

 

[Stinkles]

For real? Some motherfuckers blew up a marathon and you're thinking, wow what a wonderful opportunity for the world to learn more about Shamil!

Shamil got arrested - basiclly for terrorism and lived out his final years in a luxurious house paid for by the people he was fighting and then spent his days telling people to stop fighting - presumably to save his own skin. So he's the kind of murderious traitor that all sides can hate. and I haven't the slightest fucking clue what he's got to do with this story. May as well have posted a picture of Borat and a Donkey.

 

[Muddimar]

I think it was the threat of explosives that held the police back enough for him to get away.

Did he drive off in a bullet riddled Mercedes? Or do you know if he ran of on foot? I'm just really curious how that happened... It almost seems impossible. There were 100's of police in pursuit.

[Sho_Nuff82]

I don't get it.. if non lethal bullets are sufficient for this situation, then why aren't they sufficient for every situation?

Every situation doesn't have 40+ cops and the national guard covering every possible angle of escape.

 

[Brinbe]

Good summary! Should include that in the OP so people can get caught up on info/links quickly

[HoosTrax]

the Irony of people calling this kid a muslim smh

Not sure what you're playing at here. He is a self-described muslim. Or is the real issue here that you are the one with the misconception as far as what a "muslim" looks like.

 

[HerbertFish]

I don't get it.. if non lethal bullets are sufficient for this situation, then why aren't they sufficient for every situation?

They are armed with both. Doubtful nonlethals will be used here.

 

[wenis]

I just woke up, what's going on? I'm seeing that the perp has been identified, but there's conflicting reports about his nationality and background. When did all of that break open? What was it that got all this info loosened up?

Who's this chick with the amazing bazingo's?

not going to get into it but muslims know you don't date in Islam period

So just because you appear with your arms around a girl in a picture you are dating her? Really?? You are reading too much into that picture and extrapolating a lot based on very little evidence.

 

[tajd]

so any leads where is he

 

[astroturfing]

Okay, dog vest is fucking awesome

heh, that is indeed awesome. i'm glad dogs have some protection too, such awesome animals.

i hope a dog gets the fucker, if he is a radical muslim extremist the chances are one of his silly beliefs is that dogs are "unclean" animals. would be perfect if a dog subdued him

 

[User 100115]

I was fully expecting them to have caught him by now, holy crap. He's still a large, there are more suspects now, and we have a name (that isn't the missing Brown student), is that everything?

Why? It sounds like he's doing impressions or something.

Is it even one of the bombers?

Well went to bed five hours ago and I guess not much has happened.

Now that the suspects have been identified, where is that stupid girl on twitter claiming to be Sunnil's "classmate"?

Anyone still got a link to her twitter? Bet she feels super shitty right now.

 

[Felix Lighter]

God, I hate how much of the discussion is about how ignorant racists will react. I know it's a reality of these situations but it's so fucked and it adds so much extra hostility to an already horrible situation.

 

[Cornbread78]

Seriously, this $hit is soo messed up, especially being so close to home for me. WTF, I hope they guy doesn't off himself when cornered, I mean, one "slip-up" by the prisen and this guy spends some time in gen. pop would be epic...

 

[GavinGT]

Can they be sure they locked down Watertown before he had a chance to escape in the car?

 

[HerbertFish]

Not sure what you're playing at here. He is a self-described muslim. Or is the real issue here that you are the one with the misconception as far as what a "muslim" looks like.

I think he was inferring something dealing with large, bustful boobs
