no way this kid is still around that area

No way Dorner is still on Big Bear.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Just watched the interview on CNN. People really loved him...
Just wondering. What are the chances they really did get the wrong guy? What if he really is just a scapegoat to calm down the many people who are angered?

joke post?

joke post.

Get out of here with that. 0%

 

[enzo_gt]

I've lost count how many times someone has said something like this and then nothing happens. Stop kneejerking please.

Pretty much. How many times have we had "HOLY FUCK?! THEY GOT HIM?!" Over them just searching individuals they come across.

 

[Parch]

Am I alone in feeling like the military like lockdown of this city just feels like a bit much?

Next time if it's a couple of brown guys they'll be able to search every home on the east coast.

 

[Live Free or Die]

How the fuck is it legal to just search everyone's fucking house?

It's not, unless they give them permission.

 

[alr1ght]

Something I find strange is that everyone finds them to be totally normal guys. But then no one seems to have talked to either of them in over a year, particularly the younger brother who seems to have actually had a social life previously. That's a long time to be off the grid to most the people you know.

It's just some of their family members who haven't seen them. They're known to their friends.

Pick up that can.

 

[LiK]

How the fuck is it legal to just search everyone's fucking house?

Looking for a fugitive doesn't require a warrant especially if they're a terrorist.

 

[bjb]

Like um, why are the cops wasting their time with this? I'm sure a phone call or a carefully worded letter would've made these two guys turn themselves in. I mean, I wasn't at the marathon, why should my tax money get spent on trying to find these guys?

Uhm...lol

 

[DrEvil]

is it a delorean?

GREAT SCOTT!

 

[Ashodin]

These guys must have spent the last two days dropping packages everywhere, or the cops are being super safe. I'd like the latter.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

need food and sleep

 

[Beer Monkey]

Is facepalm PRIME-eligible? Because I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out by tomorrow.

 

[helloresolven]

How the fuck is it legal to just search everyone's fucking house?

You simply ask and they consent.

 

[Thai]

I dont understand how 9000 cops can't find one guy that's been running for 15 hours.

 

[perfectchaos007]

How the fuck is it legal to just search everyone's fucking house?

If they find anything illegal unrelated to this like drugs, they better not come back to prosecute them after all this.

 

[The perfect Dark]

No way Dorner is still on Big Bear.

No way Joe's mic is still open

 

[Xcellere]

Like um, why are the cops wasting their time with this? I'm sure a phone call or a carefully worded letter would've made these two guys turn themselves in. I mean, I wasn't at the marathon, why should my tax money get spent on trying to find these guys?

My head hurts from this post.

 

[Evlar]

There's a big difference between just after the incident and a week later.

Then I'm at a bit of a loss why it's improper to discuss whether the balance between safety and liberty has been distorted, since we both agree in principle that there IS a balance.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Pick up that can.

LOL!!!

 

[BeerSnob]

Are you fucking serious ?

Fairly sure that's just bitter sarcasm.

What.....

 

[The Albatross]

And yeah,a bout Martial Law...

I work 10 miles West of watertown. Aside from it being quiet at work, it's a regular workday here.

What.....

He's kidding

 

[smr00]

Allegedly responsible. Kind of a big deal as well.

Alright aunty coo coo bananas.

I dont understand how 9000 cops can't find one guy that's been running for 15 hours.

Stop using Law and Order/CSI logic and maybe you can start to understand.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This guy is an idiot. You think the reporters are gonna leave if you talk to them?

 

[Formosa]

So what happened to the 60-70 yr old man from the morning?

 

[AranhaHunter]

I think the kid shot himself or got shot in the shootout and died from injuries and they just can't find the body now.

 

[pulga]

What the fuck is wrong with you

 

[darkazcura]

Martial law in essence, to catch one guy. Sad.

What else are they gonna do in Watertown? They need that town seeled off. It's not like all of Boston is under lockdown. We are just being advised to stay indoors in proper Boston, but there are a lot of people playing catch and tennis right across my dorm with several cars driving by. I'm in the middle of Boston. Hell I'm about to go to the park across the street.

 

[NoRéN]

The people are letting them in voluntarily.

yeah, why wouldn't they.

I'd offer them food and water if i could.

 

[NullPointer]

Exactly.

To put it in gaming terms, these guys racked up a 5 star response.

I'm just now trying to catch up with the mayhem over the past 24 hours. This is insane.

 

[DatDude]

"He's a great guy! He helped me get 6th place in the wrestling tournament. He's just a great-great guy!"

Yeah, uncles and aunts haven't seen them in years, don't know which school they go to, eventhough they live close. But they are totally nice, of course!

 

[neoism]

I might because Texas loves vets

ot
nope




so listening to this police scanner why do they even broadcast on open air, and not on like a secret one or something.

its crazy how they can do this to a city, truly shows what the government can do if they needwant to..

 

[dubc35]

I dont understand how 9000 cops can't find one guy that's been running for 15 hours.

I assume he's hiding out somewhere. With everyone inside I can't see him lasting this long if he was on the move.

 

[HerbertFish]

What the fuck is wrong with you

He's joking

 

[BFIB]

This suspect has to be tired.

I cannot believe he hasn't slipped up and been seen.

 

[Vilix]

Lovin those "Bahstin" accents. Seriously.

 

[blackflag]

Then I'm at a bit of a loss why it's improper to discuss whether the balance between safety and liberty has been distorted, since we both agree in principle that there IS a balance.

Because the other poster said this should be treated like an everyday Chicago murder. That's what I was responding to.

 

[BronsonLee]

No way Dorner is still on Big Bear.

Wallet confirmed unicorn!

 

[tajd]

Good lord, these cops sound exhausted.

its like 14 hours now ?

 

[Kinyou]

Man I kind of feel sorry for the guy who's interviewed on CNN right now. They're bombarding him with stupid questions and he barely speaks english

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Allegedly responsible. Kind of a big deal as well.

Yeah he's just some other unrelated dude chucking grenades at cops.

 

[Jest Chillin]

These guys must have spent the last two days dropping packages everywhere, or the cops are being super safe. I'd like the latter.

I'm sure they're being safe but it's much more likely that if these are IED's, that he dropped them off places as he was fleeing.

 

[codhand]

yes like trying to protect citizens by capturing a terrorist. some nerve

 

[Meier]

There is 0% chance that is the case. Someone might have had a chance to sell that story if last night didn't exist.

 

[teruterubozu]

Good lord, these cops sound exhausted.

Sounds like they're doing a pretty good job of keeping them fresh with constant rotation, food trucks, showering and rest facilities.

 

[PopeReal]

If they find anything illegal unrelated to this like drugs, they better not come back to prosecute them after all this.

I would guess they care very little for drugs right now. They are looking for an individual. I doubt they are going through people's personal stuff.

"hello, murderers. Hi, good afternnon. This is FBI. How are you doing today?"

lol

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Allegedly responsible. Kind of a big deal as well.

Right, "allegedly". Well, considering they (FBI/Boston PD) have footage and witnesses of them committing various violent murderous acts and they have his brother's dead corpse riddled with bullets, and the fact that more people would be in greater danger if they didn't use all resources at their disposal to track the "alleged" armed lunatic, what do you think would be more irresponsible? Shutting down the city for a day to find and stop him or taking a feather light approach where he can slip away or do something else horrific?
