You just know that they're all going to get pressed hard on possible hideouts, etc.

And then what, when the police were trying to see who robbed it they saw they were there? And then did they panic..? Its just....weird.
No. From what I understand this is what happened....
-They went to convenience story (photo)
-Killed MIT officer in his car (why?)
-Carjacked someone, drove around for 30 minutes -- allegedly stopping at ATMs
-Carjack victim is released or gets away and calls police
-Chase begins
I have to agree. They haven't really added anything to the story. I admit I was hooked to it earlier. I mean the old man, woman hostage incident, jumper on the bridge, all the hondas tey were looking for, sandwich trucks, nypd cooking burgers, etc
He has some russian facebook like account. Also i saw his brother's youtube.

Because once you pass the physical training out the Academy, there are no more health standards.

Why did he even run at all then? (First by car, then on foot)

I'm not surprised they haven't caught him yet. Look at the task: it's a massive city; he's one guy. He could be anywhere. Like people have said, he could have crept into a dumpster and shot himself for all we know. They're doing the best they can.

Sorry I was making fun of the 20 reporters simultaneously asking that same question to the police spokesman

Why go all the way to Milton just to hide in the woods?

It's so weird we haven't heard any eye witness reports. Must be hiding out with someone he knows.

Well the MIT cop got shot not long after. I think when checking the tape at the 7-11 for the robber they noticed these guys came in earlier.
No air support due to weather. Also at the time the police had his bro down with a bomb on him and lost pursuit of the younger bro while dealing with the bomb.

I can't believe people really think that the police would tell the media where the suspect is supposed to be hiding.
"Yeah we are sure he's hiding in *** Street right now. We'll catch him in about 60 minutes"
Nope. I think that would be a mistake.

Some 80 year old lady calls in and says she saw Sasquatch and they go check it. 99.999% chance it's nothing, like the rest of the lame ass scanner 'alerts.'

Forgot about the brother's youtube. Doh. But yeah anything currently showing activity or any activity in the last 24 hours is fake.
my brain is fried after following this for 20 hours
It is school vacation week, vacant house maybe?
i don't think there was as much of a police presence at the time he escaped

Except they fucking HAD him. They were shooting at him. How did he get away?
At the time of discovery of the two suspects, it probably WASN'T that mobilized then. It probably were just police officers on a high speed chase.
They only showed up a while after the initial altercation. Remember they had automatic weapons, grenades, pipebombs versus a group of police that probably only had pistols and tasers.
Also there were no helicopters in the early morning due to weather conditions.
Watertown is far from massive. 4 square miles.

Agreed.
He could easily be sitting in an abandoned building starving right now but scared shitless to come out. He could be anywhere. But unless he has accomplices, he's eventually going to starve to death, commit suicide, or get caught.

Like the colonel said, when the initial contact happened they were understaffed and they couldn't establish a secure perimeter. They got one of the guys. That alone is great.
Boston. They thought he was in Watertown, he could have been somewhere else for all we know.
I doubt can pull off an Eric Rudolph and disappear into the wild. Rudolph was an experienced outdoorsman, I haven't heard anything like that about this guy.
Been thinking of this all day. Who was this guy? Why make him get naked if it was the wrong person?

Shame they just couldn't capture him last night right after the gun fight. So close.
That's a good question. Do you have the answer?
Didn't realize it was an island!
Bullets move fast so cops don't have to.
No there weren't, not at that time.
I want to believe that considering the carelessness of the brothers - staying in town, carjacking, stirring up shit - that they wouldn't be smart enough to have accomplices, but who knows.
No. Dat hyperbole.

I remember during the Dorner Saga, the first night he was spotted at Big Bear Lake, they had this World Class Army Sniper on CNN, and he was saying that Dorner is a fat, unathletic pig, and would be found within hours.
If an overweight, husky person like Dorner was able to elude authorities for nearly 3 days, I think it's plausible to see how this kid has been able to stay hidden so far.

They had no idea if he was involved or not. When one suspect suddenly explodes after he was arrested/shot, you think they wouldn't take extreme precaution on everyone they collared? He was in the area where the suspects fled. Wrong place, wrong time.
Gives me an excuse to post this again. Animated timeline from Reuters.
