I thought the guy was blown up too? I know they were throwing explosives out of the car but reports also said he blew himself up or perhaps officers show the bomb and sit off somehow. He was wearing explosives.
 
Why? Did you not see the bullet hole in that guy's chair? Seems stupid.

I'm in Boston, not Watertown. But there is a lock down that applies to Boston as well. Maybe excessive, I dunno.

But I walked down Mass Ave a couple of blocks and there were uniformed officers on every corner.
 
If real, I assume someone is going to be fired for a very grave breach of medical privacy

But it remains unsourced.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll get canned. Not sure if HIPAA applies to the dead, then again his brother is alive... but is a suspect... who knows. Someone is getting canned though.
 
Not sure how I feel about the Boston PD being able to shit on people's rights and search homes with no warrants.
They are not shitting on people's rights. The 4th amendment has never prevented the police form going door to door when there is an armed madman on the loose.

I seriously doubt any one is saying no when asked. If they are and still being searched, then it's unconstitutional. But honestly, the chances for something like this....pretty dang low.
 
Wounded police officer is 33 years old and just has a 6 month old baby.

Great news that he is in stable condition

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.

The bullet actually went through his chair.

Good BBC article about the role the internet played in all this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22214511
yeah, good read. I agree too

Reddit and 4chan took every picture they could find of the marathon and circled anyone with a backpack. Great fucking job, idiots. This whole thing has changed my view of internet detectives and the way information is just dumped in mega-threads like this one too. People totally throw shit at the wall hoping to be the first one right like some kind of fucking race
 
Thread is going crazy fast. I'm lost on some things.

Are the suspects from Russia? I also heard they are of the Muslim faith? Are they Muslim Russians? Sorry, I just woke up and trying to make sense of everything I heard within the last few minutes.
