Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

what in hell could the motives have been for these 2 guys if it was just them?

do you guys believe these 2 are the only ones involved in their operations?

Well, if they were part of some big operation I doubt they would need to rob a 7 Eleven. But it would not surprise me if some of their buddies were involved somehow.
 
It's so weird to see the tweets on Dzhokar's twitter account, especially the ones the day or so after the bombing. It seems J_tsar is him, at least by looking at the people he's following and they seem to know Dzhokar and refer to him as J_tsar. Unless it's an elaborate hoax.
 
Is it known what they took from the 7-11. Why in the world would two terrorists, just days after having done such a horrible thing, rob a place as simple as a 7-11 unless they WANTED to draw the cops and authorities in on them? It doesn't make a bit of sense to me.
 
AOL is comig out swinging...

THEY ARE BACK!!

Goddamn
 
Internet done fucked up, like in a way that was harmful to the investigation both times. Irresponsible media perpetuated this by mentioning the Internet theories at all, though with social media it's almost irrelevant what the MSM does, at least for anyone under 40. And what I mean by that is that they were interviewing a former classmate of white-hat guy and she basically said she saw the pics and it looked just like him but she didn't think to say anything because "everyone was saying it was that Sunil guy." Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Feel so bad for Sunil's family though, man they have been taken through the wringer over the past 24h.

The internet is not guilty if the girl cannot fucking think for herself.

Several people here thought it was not Sunil. Why couldn't the girl reach the same conclusion if she had even better information than us.
 
So it seems from what I understood:

1- They stole a car
2- Tried to rob a 7-11 (maybe for food?)
3- Went to MIT
4- Got into a fight with a cop, shot him dead.
5- May have split at this point, with one going back to the vehicle they had hijacked, and the other (old brother) taking another vehicle.
6- Older brother throws explosives out as he escapes in a car.
7- Eventually caught up, and is wounded in a firefight with police (then dies later).
8- The other left the car somewhere and has been on the run since, possible after having been in a shootout with police (video of the shooting with police from last night).

This is incorrect I believe. Sources earlier said that it was instigated by the suspects and they just walked up and killed the guy while he sat in his vehicle.

Thought the 7-11 thing was a separate unrelated incident. I think they were trying to set off bombs at MIT and were caught by campus police - this seems to be the more common line of thought - also explains why they'd have live explosives in the car

Money to go on the lam.

no it was them in the 7-11
 
To be fair, they are Caucasian.

What you mean is, of course, why couldn't they be Caucasians of West-European descent. And they aren't because they weren't. These kids are the murderers, and it is what it is. Death by Cop isn't justice. Suicide isn't justice. I want these dudes to answer 'why.'

At the end of the day, the question of race, religion, and ethnicity was never a red herring to me. IMO, it was the difference between America discovering who was responsible and simply moving on versus stirring even more paranoia and xenophobia than we already have. An answer will be nice, I agree. Unfortunately I doubt we'll be getting this last guy alive.

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.

Good thing to. He may well be the best thing at protecting some people from being profiled by everyday citizens. Keep that shit on a loop.
Except by the media outlets who will bury the interview because it doesn't fit their "omg terrorists!" agenda so they can continue to feed the people who want to believe it.
