Joke post? This guy is responsible for injuring over 200 people with many many limbs lost and killed 4 people.

He also is mobile with weaponry and possible bombs...

This is serious.

It's 4 now?

 

[pigeon]

how did this guy get away from that many cops. was it dark when he ran off on foot?

Yes? It was like 2 in the morning.

Seriously. You don't need military presence to hunt a 19 year old with a gun- which is all he is now.

You don't know shit

All he has is a gun? How do you know exactly?

 

[Mesoian]

WAIT! The busses are back on?!?

 

[nilbog21]

so they dont know where he is? what were they sieging for so long then?

 

[MMBosstones86]

I love when people talk about the suspects. He is a nice kid had a class with him. He was a leader and all this fun stuff. Then we find out they really don't know each other at all.

Hate it. "what was he like?" who gives a shit? he's a killer now...

"Alright guys. This military shit isn't working. We need less guys to find the perpetrator."

-But sir!

EDIT 224 2:32 PM: Father told media the boys were planning on going back to Russia in a few days.

What I don't understand is why they wouldn't have left that night? Flights out of Logan were continuing and there was no indication that they were the suspects so I don't think it would have been terribly hard for them to leave.

Anderson Cooper: Did he smoke? Did he drink?

Is that really important? @_@

Cooper is tired from that flight he just had. He is catering for CNN needs and waiting out his days for The Today Show.

Hate it. "what was he like?" who gives a shit? he's a killer now...

Just want someone to say. Well you didn't know him to well then.

 

[SlowRevolution]

It's 4 now?

3 dead from bombing + a cop, I think?

 

[Xater]

Anderson Cooper: Did he smoke? Did he drink?

At this point they are just filling time. Nothing else going on so just ask stupid questions to whoever is willing to talk about these guys. Doesn't matter if it is relevant in any way.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Man, people on the phone that were in the house right by the firefight are from St. Louis originally. I bet they thought St. Louis is where they'd hear shooting, not Boston.

Also Brian Williams is classy as fuck in handling interviews.

 

[Kinyou]

Friend interviewed: "He was sociable, not a loner."

Analyst on Fox: "He was a quiet guy, kept to himself."

Analyst must be a great job. Just make up stuff all day long

 

[Liha]

They don't know that he only has guns.



Yes

This guy is more a kid than a real man.

 

[leatherhat]

Are you sure that is all he has? Also, once you start injuring/killing the police, expect the full force of the law to come after your ass.

The full force of the Boston PD- yes. Maybe the FBI as well. But DHS rolling through town in armored vehicles and closing down businesses and forcing people to stay inside their homes is too much.

 

[Vire]

It's 4 now?

Yes, they killed the Police Officer last night.

 

[Divvy]

It's 4 now?

They shot and killed a police officer last night and critically wounded another.

Really sad story about the first officer, who was just about due to transfer to another area.

 

[TommyT]

I do think shutting down the city was a bad call. I think it sends a bad message to other bad guys. If a couple of kids can hold an American city hostage, what could an organized group of equipped adults do?

That's not what is happening though. These people aren't threatening to blow the city or anything if their demands aren't met. It's beneficial for everyone: Citizens stay safe, law enforcement has an easier time enforcing.

WNBR anchor had her nephew on who was friends with this kid. Said he was popular and outgoing, lots of friends. Star athlete. Mainstream media fucking blows and can't be bothered to actually tell an accurate story.

 

[Hari Seldon]

So whatever happed to that old man with a robot taking his jacket off? Was that all just BS?

 

[tino]

So is this a terrorism attack? Is there any other people working with them.

 

[Sol..]

19? He's a fucking kid....

Finally someone understands. I wasn't till I was 22 that I stopped shouting stranger danger when people I didn't know talked to me.

 

[blackflag]

Seriously. You don't need military presence to hunt a 19 year old with a gun- which is all he is now.

Lol you might need to catch up or you're being willfully dumb.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I thought it was reported earlier that they didn't rob the 7/11 per se, but instead that is where they hijacked that Honda CR-V and had that hostage for awhile before they let him go.

 

[CrankyJay]

3 dead from bombing + a cop, I think?

Damn, you're right...sorry

 

[dubc35]

Yeah, what was up with that?

Seriously, he had two robots on him!

 

[The Lamonster]

True, but think about all the commerce that is not happening today. It's bad.

 

[akira28]

I kinda doubt they are directly linked to them. I'd guess it is more that they sympathize with them & their cause and thus this may have been their contribution to the cause. Sorta like some of the other lone-wolf attackers such as the guy who shot up the base in Texas or the guy that left the car with explosives (which failed) in NYC.

I think money has exchanged hands somewhere, and someone played their cards. Someone found these kids, probably told young Rocky he was going to hell and turned him and his brother. Or the Islam thing is a complete hangout, which means this goes way down. But I don't think this was completely spontaneous, unless we find a brain tumour in Tamerlane's head.

 

[tajd]

lol anderson wants ot know if he gay bi or str8

 

[alr1ght]

Reddit says "Update on officers: 1 dead, 1 in critical condition, 15 injured."

geez

 

[SeaOfMadness]

It's 4 now?

3 from the bombs + the cop?

 

[Kusano123]

I went to sleep at around 3am PST. They still haven't caught the 2nd suspect yet?

Disagree here. If he walks into a crowded mall or a soccer game and blows himself up or sets an explosive -- something he just did 5 days ago -- I'd say anything is justifiable here.

I am just really happy that it's school vacation week in MA. That would have been a whole other problem if there were schools open.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Now they are looking for a Honda Odyssey? Does this guy own a fucking Honda Dealership?

Goddamn repeating cars glitch

 

[RiccochetJ]

think about it...their pictures were plastered all over the media. sounds like they freaked out.

Imagine looking even remotely close to those blurry pictures and trying to climb on an international flight.

A strict muslim wouldn't.

his older brother seems to be fairly strict.

If they were smart, they would have.

Thanks for your expert analysis. It will get all the consideration it deserves.

We don't know that for sure.

Thanks for helping out with negative stereotypes of nerds.

Daddy probably paid for the flight, maybe they went for the best value? Seems like it was poorly though out. Could have possibly slipped by though.

 

[shadyspace]

The only people who would insist a 19 year old is a grown ass man are either 19 or younger and want to feel like big grown ups. It's not the 60s anymore.

 

[Meier]

Staying up late to watch the coverage has caught up to me. I need some Red Bull in my veins.

 

[Malvingt2]

What I don't understand is why they wouldn't have left that night? Flights out of Logan were continuing and there was no indication that they were the suspects so I don't think it would have been terribly hard for them to leave.

I am wondering the same.. Why not flight out to Russia the same day? or the day after earlier in the Morning?

scanner --> they are approaching someone who matches description.

They may have explosives all over the area and he may be running around with more. It is absolutely not too much.

People still think the Columbine guys were loners because of the narrative the media made up, it's crazy that they just keep doing it.
