Crazy picture, suspect running on the left.

I'm sure it's been posted before, but I hadn't seen it in it's entirety.
 
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.

Was wondering the same thing. I knew she jumped the gun last night. Some people....
 
Sad, most everything I've read/heard has people giving a good impression of Dzhokhar. Guessing something big happened in his personal life, or he was influenced by his older brother. Hope he just turns himself in and no one else gets hurt.

That's my thinking as well, of course that's based on no evidence whatsoever, but as far as early speculation goes it seems like just as acceptable of theory as any other at the moment.

I mean, if that is the case, the kid is fucking 19, probably didn't intend on his brother getting killed (despite wearing a suicide vest, they probably figured they'd go out together in a blazing glory) and now he's on his own with the entire damn country on rage-filled manhunt after him. He's probably holed up somewhere shitting pants trying to figure out what the hell to do.

Especially now that his identity is known to everyone in the damn country.
 
Being of Chechen origin myself, I really did not want these guys to turn out to be Chechen. Even though I don't personally identify as a Muslim or Chechnyan, the fact is that I was born into both, and any associated profiling/discrimination could potentially affect me.

I wonder if I'm the only Chechnyan on GAF.
 
Have local news been saying that the suspects are Chechen? Just started listening in and they keep saying "Russian". :/

Originally from Chechnya, but living in the United States since five years, Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."

Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia.

he had a dedicated folder called terrorism for his terrorism videos.

It was a playlist. I didn't see any of the videos in them though, but I'm assuming they were videos related to terrorism and Islam. There's nothing inherently suspicious about that. We'd need to know exactly the content of those videos and whether they were advocating terrorism or not. MSNBC telling us he watched Islamic videos online doesn't tell us anything other than he was interested in videos about Islam.

I am not, but anyone who knows what one is often assumes that I am one.
 
Some mother***** blew up half of that country and much of America is now thinking 'wait, what, where?'

And much of America will be thinking "Russian terrorists" by the end of the weekend. Americans aren't really all that interested in getting down to the historicals. Whatever can be bundled up into consumable chunks for distribution by the media is what America will know.

Painting with a pretty wide brush there, pal.
 
jesus. someone parked outside of my brother's house (he's in watertown) in an suv right outside their house--passenger had a laptop. neighbor thought it was suspicious so they called the cops; cops came armed and the guy showed some papers or something, probably some press. really dumb of whoever that was to be doing that when everyone is on such high alert there. damn...
 
Okay, so who in the hell were they arresting last night? Who was the guy sprawled on the ground and who was the naked guy they put in the police car?
