You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling

Or smaller. I'm not pining for more police action.

 

[zychi]

Father and aunt believe they were framed.

This is hilarious. "Framed" but there was a shootout, and they were using explosions and tossing them out of a car.

Regardless if they are the marathon guys(which they have been confirmed) they were still fucking with a neighborhood and fighting with the police

 

[Ashodin]

Time to eat pizza and listen to the scanner mmhmm yessir

 

[e_i]

Oh, CNN has to trot out Rep. Peter King because of muslims. I can't that guy.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Im still waiting for my crow from the Sunil conspiracy nuts.

This is still going on? I've got no problem saying I was wrong. Like the late great Jerry Orbach said at the end of Dirty Dancing: "When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong." I made, like, three posts saying I thought there was a resemblance, and I couldn't understand how other people didn't see the resemblance. Media on the ground was reporting it could be that guy, and even his friends came out saying that it looked like him. Other people didn't see it; that's fine. But I didn't go out with a pitchfork hunting for the guy.

To that end, I don't know if I fall under the category you're saying (I assume it's more along the lines of the Reddit guys?) but this kind of hunting for people that were wrong is at risk of being as rabid as the behavior those Reddit guys were putting on show.

 

[TheJerit]

And what if the renewed interest in Sunil help his family find him?

Look the FBI ASKED for HELP. People tried to help. 99% of the leads called in where probably wrong.

I don't get the hate for people legitimately trying to assist police in tracking this guy down.

Because people LOVE to be pedantic on the internet.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I hope Reddit thinks hard about it's 'Hive Mind' after this, but they probably won't.

 

[lethial]

I don't remember media coverage like this after any of these events. It's like America has been waiting for a 9-11 part two, and this little ounce of it has people foaming at the mouth. It's a serious situation, I know, but the mass amount of attention to this is getting ridiculous.

Hell there's a bigger situation in West, Texas going on right now, people are still missing, yet no one gives a fuck. They prefer this live Hollywood movie instead.

I'm in Canada and remember lots of media coverage for Oklahoma.

 

[Devolution]

I haven't heard the word Chechen until this thread. What's the correct denomination for CR citizens? Czechs?

Seems like an honest mistake. I don't see why the LOL FAT MERICANS thing needs to be brought out.

Really?

There's been a long struggle between elements of Chechnya and Russia. One of the more famous instances of terrorism was this:

[BruceLeeRoy]

Can someone explain me the Twitter picture? Why did they though the suspects where from the Czhect Republic? It seems to me just pure confusion rather than stupidity.

They are Chechan it had nothing to do with the Czech Republic. People are morons

 

[Ingeniero]

i think that tweet was from 2012. Not really referencing his attack.

Probably means he was planning everything for months

 

[MIMIC]

i think that tweet was from 2012. Not really referencing his attack.

Smoking the Boston Marathon?

How does that not reference a plan to attack (considering that that's exactly what he did)?

 

[rodvik]

I hope this is a joke post. The world isn't so monochrome.

Not a joke at all. The lives and safety of the police and civilians come first. The terrorists well being is irrelevant, they are insane and evil.

 

[Canis lupus]

Chechnya has the highest concentration of radical Islamists of just about any area in the world. It wouldn't be too sweeping a generalization to unilaterally declare this ethnic subset to be the scourge of the earth. They wreaked havoc against school children in Russia not too long ago. I'm usually a proponent of multicultural postmodern relativism, but fuck Chechnya. Shitty fucking people.

I have many Chechnyan friends, refugees who came from the warzone, they're really great people.

FBI asked people to contact them not start a witch hunt.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Flir works just as well during the day. They should hopefully have the choppers up with flir already.

How's that? From what I've seen Flir can give false reads on just reflections of heat off glass. Seems like using that during the day would be a pain to work with.

 

[DragonSworne]

Any chance that the suspect will make it into custody alive?

I have a feeling the cops will make that scenario from happening impossible considering what this guy has already done.

 

[BloodMoney]

Father and aunt believe they were framed.

It was all orchestrated by Zimmerman

 

[PopeReal]

Unbelievable he hasn't been found yet. I guess he must have made it out of their perimeter in the confusion after his brother was killed.

They explosives (both real and false alarms) really slowed down the initial pursuit. Helicopters were useless due to low visibility. He must have got lucky and slipped out unless he is still holed up in a house. They have searched most of them so chances are getting low that he is still in the perimeter.

 

[Byakuya769]

You were an "idiot" if you didn't think it was Sunhil last night. Team #NoSunhil deserves their gloating.

 

[User 100115]

Yeah, I really hope that all this amazing publicity about Sunil will lead to his family finally discovering what has happened to him at least.

 

[effzee]

Oh, CNN has to trot out Rep. Peter King because of muslims. I can't that guy.

He is always on stand by to spew his bigotry and hatred in case a Muslim commits a terrorist act.

How the media allows him to always be on tv is beyond me. He belongs only on FOX news and not on networks trying to retain any credibility. And then how they don't question him about his own terrorist past is beyond words.

 

[BronsonLee]

Or smaller. I'm not pining for more police action.

And I'm not pining for any opportunity for this to continue, especially considering the events of the morning.

Get this over with.

 

[demigod]

I haven't been keeping up with this that much. Would they have gotten away with it or not get caught so fast if they hadn't robbed 7-11?

For those who don't know he's the man who lost his legs and was apparently the first person to describe one of the terrorists to the FBI.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Bomb dog to sweep the press area by 5pm.

 

[MThanded]

Any chance that the suspect will make it into custody alive?

I think they really want him alive. There are a lot of questions that will never get answered unless they get him.

 

[besada]

And every American knows what he looks like. Millions who can identify him and report the authorities.

I wouldn't go that far. I think you overestimate the number of Americans who A) are following this closely and B) who regularly watch news. Not to mention that a good portion of Bostonians are still in lockdown.


And none of which makes any difference if he's holed up somewhere and not moving.

 

[J-Rzez]

Flir works just as well during the day. They should hopefully have the choppers up with flir already.

It does. But what I'm saying is at the point where the shoot out happened where the one scumbag got his, the other escaped, and if they had proper helo support up then with FLIR, they wouldn't have lost him, he would be detained, or dead right now. Their helo was grounded due to low visibility/clouding.

Right now this guy is in cover, either by structure or vehicle. Or, possibly dead and the body not found.

 

[Arcteryx]

So have we discovered what was up with the reddit guy naming one of the suspects Mike Mulagata?

Horrible practical joke? Honest error?

It was actually said on the scanner

 

[Parch]

Yeah, let's just ignore all these body limbs falling of the sky to show them terrorists that people are winners.

Congratulations. You win the hyperbole award.

 

[vas_a_morir]

They are Chechan it had nothing to do with the Czech Republic. People are morons

Their uncle says they had nothing to do with Chechnya, either. "They've never even BEEN to Chechnya"

 

[Jest Chillin]

Smoking the Boston Marathon?

How does that not reference a plan to attack (considering that that's exactly what he did)?

Think horses, not zebras. It was likely a reference to trying to smoke weed while at the event being a bad idea.

 

[cicero]

Sorry Sir, I must have forgotten my limits.

Honestly, who the fuck are you to quote dozens of posts in an attempt to post a derogatory comment towards juniors?

We know what has happened. We know who is behind it. We know what risks there may lie. But, perhaps, some of us just hold the right to be free from intrusion in your own house just that important that it makes us wonder, if it is truly worth it. It's a matter of principle, and there is no right or wrong. So don't tell me not to question certain things.

Back to the topic, your comment just annoyed me.

Are the police forcing their way into homes now? Since when AREN'T people ALLOWING them to search their homes? I'm sure you are going to provide the evidence to back up your claims and prove your fears to be legitimate.

The distinction, of course, is that there isn't someone in West, Texas at large with guns and explosives. That doesn't render your point moot, but we're really not talking about equivalent things.

 

[MThanded]

Smoking the Boston Marathon?

How does that not reference a plan to attack (considering that that's exactly what he did)?

He was talking about weed from what i can tell.

 

[ckohler]

Police scanner said there will be a 5:00pm (EST) "Interview" at the makeshift headquarters in front of Target on Arsenal Street, Watertown.

 

[Devolution]

You were an "idiot" if you didn't think it was Sunhil last night. Team #NoSunhil deserves their gloating.

Most of us weren't even #noSunhil, it was team: stop it with the all look same and stick to confirmed facts. People were even thinking some random old white guy in a photo was his uncle. It was so dumb.

Wow $190,000 raised already, that's awesome.

 

[ink4n3]

How's that? From what I've seen Flir can give false reads on just reflections of heat off glass. Seems like using that during the day would be a pain to work with.

It is just shows temperature differences and is extremely accurate. They can discern temperature differences of 0.07 deg F. During the day stuff will absorb heat from the sun and may mask some details but you still can easily pick out people, vehicles, and buildings.

 

[Arsenic]

Really?

There's been a long struggle between elements of Chechnya and Russia. One of the more famous instances of terrorism was this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_hostage_crisis

And, if you are sensitive person, do not watch the documentary. Really sad shit that would tear you up on the inside.

 

[thcsquad]

I would not have even DREAMED they would have closed the entire city.

Well, they didn't really close Boston either. The only place closed is a specific area in suburban Watertown, that was an active battle zone (automatic gunfire, trail of explosives, bombs thrown at police) last night. Boston's status is really just that people are encouraged to stay inside, and most are. Public transit was shut down, and that causes most businesses to shut down too. But this isn't some martial law quarantine where cops are forcing citizens to stay in their homes.

Not particularly you, but I do remember lots of brazen posters in here last night proclaiming how "ridiculous" all of us Sunil defenders would look when it turned out it was him.

Some poor family got shat on yesterday for no reason at all, thanks to internet armchair detectives. Though the girl was in all her right to tweet what she did, as the FBI does ask you to come forward with any infomation. People just took it waaaay overboard.

 

[goodcow]

The tweets are real. I was looking on twitter for earlier proof. The the chatter between his friends on their indicate that it is them.

Link to Twitter account?

 

[Ashodin]

I just heard they say there will be a 5:00pm (EST) "Interview" at the makeshift headquarters. They are bringing bomb/firearms sniffing dogs to check the area first (standard procedure?).

Yep figured another event would happen at around 5

 

[mightynine]

Smoking the Boston Marathon?

How does that not reference a plan to attack (considering that that's exactly what he did)?

Considering the age of the tweet, could be a reference to planning the attack, could be a bad joke considering runners shouldn't smoke.

 

[Winterfang]

Wow $190,000 raised already, that's awesome.

Indeed, I'm just glad he survived.

 

[Salaadin]

Any chance that the suspect will make it into custody alive?

I have a feeling the cops will make that scenario from happening impossible considering what this guy has already done.

I honestly think theyll take him alive if they can. Theyve already shown theyre capable of not opening fire on anyone that looks suspicious.

he was talking about smoking weed with his pothead friend
