Wow. WOW. So this is why everyone is confused and I am slowly getting pissed more and more. Geography, cotdamn.

You can't tell an obvious joke post when you see it?

OK help me out, who is this old guy, why did he have a suicide vest, and did the 2 robots stop him?

 

[phosphor112]

Hori shieeit. I know lots of people who don't drink. They're all now extreeeeeeeeeeeeme. Woooow /Konami Conference

I'm so extreme I'm like Al-Qaeda and the X Games COMBINED.

With 100% sobriety comes great power and responsibility!

The Uncle is my new mancrush.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Hey, remember when people were saying that this Internet detective shit was bad news and would only lead to innocents being falsly accused? Remember how some people in here adamantly defended it? Yeah. Now we have a bunch of people falsely accused of heinous acts, and actual impediment to the real suspects getting apprehended. Good job. >(

Just like Newton shootings where internet detectives got the wrong shooter.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Uncle is a fucking US patriot. Got pumped listening to him. Sounds like if he knew what was going on ahead of time, he'd have killed them himself.

 

[jbug617]

WHDH is saying they expect more police to show up in Watertown so I guess they believe he still here.

 

[MiKeD]

At this point i feel like they are just bringing everything just because.

Tanks and hovercraft are next.

Indeed.
Loving all the reaction of the posters though: "Holy shit", "Craziest shit ever", etc...Please.

CNN quotes twitter and gives no source. Genius.

Apparently here is the account.

Guys AstroTurf just made a bad joke post. No need to get up in arms about it.

i think everyone might need a nap if they couldnt tell that Astro wasn't serious.

Badass uncle

This is the most ridiculous game of Password ever.

 

[ironcreed]

A guy that participated in a terrorist attack, killed a cop, and is armed with explosives and still on the run.

Well no shit, but it still seems incredible for one 19 year old with everything they are rolling out.

[andycapps]

That uncle is awesome. Hopefully the media respects his wishes and leaves them alone. He clearly doesn't know anything about the kids. Almost teared up when he talked about how much he loved the country, because I was thinking about what must have driven his nephews to this madness. Obviously he feels horrible about it.

 

[jred2k]

How do you check worldwide trends on Twitter? Mine is tailored for me.

There should be a change option beside your current filter.

 

[Dinosur]

Any scanner update about the old man with the "dead switch" and the bomb robots from earlier?

They just said officers on 30 Adams Street needed to find cover. Is that where the old man is at?

 

[Homeboyd]

WHDH is saying they expect more police to show up in Watertown so I guess they believe he still here.

I was just about to say... probably need some more cops.

 

[ezekial45]

10min full interview with angry uncle

Spread this link here. Not the other ones.

He seems like a great guy. I always feel sorry for the family in most cases like this, they get hurt too. Especially when you have no idea how your blood turned out so bad.

Thank you sir.

Around what time EST was this all confirmed to be the bombers? I went to bed when the MIT officer was dead and they were chasing these guys.

 

[besada]

What did we ever do to the Czech Republic? Bombs falling on Prague shortly?

 

[MThanded]

OK help me out, who is this old guy, why did he have a suicide vest, and did the 2 robots stop him?

None of these things happened. There was no suicide vest.

And all that before noon. What a day!

 

[GoldenEye 007]

How did the 2 brothers get all those guns in the first place?

More reason for universal background checks..and the fact that we remain adamant not to do such a thing is so damn baffling. Enjoy your guns america, while innocent people get slaughtered on the streets.

They used bombs they manufactured. That is already against the law. What you describe isn't even the situation present currently.
And given the histories of the accused, what exactly would have popped up on the check? They are good for determining if someone that had previously committed a major crime should be sold a gun. That wasn't the case here.

 

[thecouncil]

What did we ever do to the Czech Republic? Bombs falling on Prague shortly?

unlike astroturfs post, this one is a little harder to decipher. not sure if serious.

 

[Parakeetman]

Everyone staying home running appliances and you're surprised there is power outages?

Should be nothing different than the holidays really. So it would be odd.

Potentially they are trying to cause a "media blackout" so to speak. In the event if the suspect is getting info on his own or from another source via mobile communication.

 

[Kusagari]

CNN is talking about the tweet on air right now.

 

[Nibel]

Wow, uncle is incredible

Mad props

 

[GavinGT]

So while things are slow, anyone feel like verifying this calculation I made which totally doesn't matter any more? The result just seemed crazy to me:

http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=54499251&postcount=1133

 

[gcubed]

my random feeling... they know where he is, trying to get him out alive / or he has hostages they are trying to get out alive. It got too quiet too quickly

 

[Betta Lines]

So the house was empty?

 

[Poltergust]

It's crazy that the perpetrators of that shooting in MIT turned out to also be the same Boston bombing suspects.

And then all the stuff afterwards...

I want to know why they did what they did. That 2nd suspect better be captured alive. I would imagine that he would confess to his family.

 

[BigDug13]

Czech Republic jokes will continue to not go over well people, might as well quit.

 

[kingkitty]

I'm not worried. I was just legitimately confused over the question. They would be Class III devices. Illegal to have without the proper checks. They clearly didn't care about those checks and anyone with some basic knowledge and willpower can put together bombs.

Indeed.

I'm eager for some new info but it seems like everyone is just standing around.

 

[TS-08]

Is it confirmed that they legally bought those guns? If not stop speculating on shit you don't know nothing about.

At any rate, what evidence do we have that a proper background check would or might have kept them from getting the guns?

 

[woolley]

CNN quotes twitter and gives no source. Genius.

They just showed them on tv but blurred out the name and avi.

Suuuper late quote (didnt see your comment) but I meant I am aware he's Chechen, but the local news I was watching kept generalizing saying they are Russian. Also, links dont work :/

Every time, man. Every time. People don't learn, no matter how many times this shit goes down.

 

[Salaadin]

None of these things happened. There was no suicide vest.

They did have an old guy being inspected by robots though. What happened with that?

 

[Binabik15]

Sorry for asking this here, but I don't even know how I'd google this without a billion shitty results: are Mr black hat and Mr white hat the same guys with white and black hat/baseball caps and backpacks and khaki pants shown in the original reddit photo dump?

 

[Always-honest]

Just woke up. So white hat guy is not Sunil? Way to go Reddit!

And a lot of gaf members who knew for sure that it was the exact same guy. In fact, they ridiculed anyone who didn't think they looked EXACTLY the same.

These blind people know who they are themselves and i sinceraly hope they don't ever post in threads that cover facial recognition again.
They can't help that they have bad racist eyes, but they now know that their eyes are not thrustworthy.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

They were Muslim and white it seems from the pictures.

Best of all worlds, I guess.

Give Uncle Ruslan a car and he'll probably find the perp before lunch and bring him by the ear

I'd be down with that.

Hmmmm....so what happened to that Sunil theory?
