Just getting up, so I missed out on a lot.
So is the 2nd suspect not Sunil after all?

I don't think it's his twitter.

It is.

I was gonna play Fable 3 but...I rather watch these anchors mumble away with zero new information.

 

[statham]

Yeah I heard that, too. Is that the same house w/the ladder?

no different.

 

[sammich]

What is this young dude didnt even know what was going on and just did what his bro asked him and is now caught up in everything and sees his life basically coming to an end? Not absolving him of any blame but these 2 seemed to be doing fine. But then.. that is what they want you to think.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

About to leave for the next 4 hours

I don't want to be without this thread. I <3 GAF

Have a good time.

 

[Phreaker]

Oh no, they just called him a pothead.

Friends say he was at school the last couple days and that he was a "pothead".

Different house, they didn't see anything on the roof of the house with the ladder, there were 3 windows accessible from there, but all were closed and intact.

I don't think it's his twitter.

J_tsar has been confirmed to be his twitter by friends and classmates. Plus, the folks he has followed on it reference him as J_tsar also.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Eerie...

Wow.

 

[Kacho]

brofist. making work difficult and I got shit to do.

Yeah, I've been neglecting work today. So hard to concentrate.

Fable 3 sucks anyways buddy. You made the better choice.

 

[dubc35]

Numerous calls coming in?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

By the way, thanks F!ReW!Re for the running update posts on new pages. It seems to have kept the "I slept in, what's happening???" posts down to a minimum.

He needs to change his name to thunderbolt.

Thanks guys, I'll try to keep it updated and repost it every 3-4 pages.

 

[Deft Beck]

Quarantined in my dorm. Not paying attention to the news because I know it will likely blow over. No need to get worked up.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Wow really. I can't believe this is still going. Went to bed at 4, then again at 7:30. Its now 10am and the situation doesn't seemed to have improved since 6 hours ago. Fuckin houdini.

 

[Ace Harding]

I was gonna play Fable 3 but...I rather watch these anchors mumble away with zero new information.

I know this is OT but I'm going to say your time is better spent watching cable news.

There is an update on every single new page.

 

[Parakeetman]

Thanks guys, I'll try to keep it updated and repost it every 3-4 pages.

Indeed great job with the reposts / updates!

Someone being held at gunpoint

This is like the 10th person held at gun point today. I turned off the scanner, too much distraction.

 

[MThanded]

I don't think it's his twitter.

PRetty sure it is. I thought it wasn't at first. I went down people he has contacted on twitter. There was a lot of chatter about how they could not believe it was him. So it seems to align with that handle being his.

Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[gcubed]

I posted a while ago about figuring they had him surrounded and he had a hostage. They shut down all cameras in that area quite quickly and everything went quiet, combined with an influx of military, etc

 

[Cyan]

I don't think Reddit comes out of this looking great. 12 hours ago people were saying "OMG Reddit is the new FBI, world will never be the same" when the Brown U story they started was getting traction. In the cold light of day, how are they any better than CNN?

Hopefully we'll all remember this the next time something like this happens...

 

[Samyy]

About to go into a 3 hour exam, hopefully they catch this fucker alive, man hopefully I'll be able to focus >.<

[Kevtones]

Pointed this out before but the woman directly to the right of the youngest victim looks to be the same woman running here in the Tufts Lacrosse sweatshirt. Note the socks.

This is getting dangerously close to Info Wars level insinuation

 

[sangreal]

poor fox reporter is about to blow away

 

[Crisco]

I'm not clever enough to come up with something witty here. Damn those are some tits though.

 

[Coldsnap]

Hopefully we'll all remember this the next time something like this happens...

I know I will.

"I meet the most amazing people, spent the day with this Jamaican Muslim convert who shared his whole story with me, my religion is the truth"

https://twitter.com/J_tsar/status/285657935605010432

It would be a pretty crazy coincidence if the people responsible were Chechens but did the bombings for some other non-Islamist reason, so religious tweets are hardly surprising...

Well, for one, since he didn't get blown up at the marathon, he pretty clearly understood it was a bomb. For two he's an adult. For three he didn't turn himself in at any point, and if that Twitter account is real, didn't seem conflicted in the time after the bombing. For four, when his brother was killed he escaped again rather than turning himself in. How many chances does someone get until you say "Okay, this person is in control of their actions"

 

[GasProblem]

I thought the 8 year old kid was killed in the second blast, while he was running away from the first one.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Oh well damn. Stand corrected. Thanks.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Just took the dog for a walk. Seems like a lot more people are starting to venture out

 

[itxaka]

There is a lot of emo-stupid-Imcool tweets in his timeline, nothing to do with being able to put a freaking bomb in a marathon. There are thousands of those tweets all around, I mean he is 19.

Im talking about the big picture around him, the photos with his friends at the university adn such. That kind of thing. It paints a normal picture for a 19 year old. Ugh, can't process.

Dont believe everything you read. That is the second blast site though

 

[LiK]

No, he hugged his dad who just crossed the finish line and ran back to his mother. That's when it exploded and killed him.

 

[Dude Abides]

Hopefully we'll all remember this the next time something like this happens...

Somehow I doubt it.

 

[LyleLanley]

Hopefully we'll all remember this the next time something like this happens...

This is far from the first time Reddit/4Chan has done this and I'd be willing to bet that it wont be the last time.

 

[TheNatural]

WTF the younger brother ran over his older brother in the car to get away? Wow.

 

[Sanjuro]

I thought the 8 year old kid was killed in the second blast, while he was running away from the first one.

No. He was at the second blast.
