Having someone I grew up with been arrested and sitting in a cell for armed kidnapping among other things on his rap sheet, its not really all that much.

I just see it as someone made the wrong choice in his path in life and leave it at that. Since truthfully if you never knew, what could you have done anyways right?

Well there's a difference between someone you grew up with, and someone you played soccer with two days ago.

 

[blackflag]

I wonder if he will even talk

He's 19, they will break him.

 

[Parakeetman]

I wonder if he will even talk

Considering that hes been running for his life and didnt off himself when he had the chance, Id say the possibility of him talking Id say are pretty good.

 

[Daingurse]

He'll probably commit suicide somehow within five years, if not sooner. I doubt he sees his 25th birthday

Nah they would just throw him in a suicide cell making his life even more miserable.

Solitary can easily be argued to be worse than death.

 

[FStop7]

Nah, he'll probably be sentenced to death.

I think he'll plead guilty in exchange for life in prison. He'll be sent to ADX Florence where he'll remain for the rest of his life alongside the Unabomber, Ramzi Yousef, Terry Nichols, etc.

This is going to sound unusual, but they should not do the terrible things some people have mentioned to this kid. They need to actually be quite amicable, and investigate exactly how and why these guys did what they did. The fact that ordinary American residents such as this, who were seemingly well assimilated, were able to carry out such atrocities, is a hugely dangerous and scary thing. Instead of being draconian they need to be diplomatic and intelligent in how they extract information to get the maximum amount of co-operation from him.

Whatever led to this kid being able to so so grossly misdirected, needs to be understood, stamped out and dealt with at the core level.

Yeah, people are just blowing off steam tonight - hopefully, at least. I've got faith in them to handle the trial the right way, assuming he lives which seems pretty likely (right?).

Fiber?

he'll finally be able to watch all the gif's he's spent years trying to load

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Been following this thread since 6am today. Read most of the posts and got constant up to date info. It was intense, scary and even had a few laughs along the way.

GAF >>> news stations.

Agreed. Also, GAF news >>> other forum news.

GAF's "breaking news" threads are off the chain! I haven't been to the main forum (OT) in several hours but I'm sure it's like 1.5 million views in like 20 hours lol

 

[Flo_Evans]

Hats off to the Boston PD and FBI.

As a younger brother who got talked into some stupid shit by my older brother I can feel for the kid... Can't even imagine what is going through his mind right now.

Is this the biggest manhunt to ever happen in a post-twitter, post-social networking world? If this is the case, I'm glad to be part of history!

 

[blackflag]

There is no death penalty in the Commonwealth.

He won't be charged there. I think this has been said like 20 times in the last 2 pages.

Welcome a new edition to Bombers Row.

 

[Pineconn]

The local stations I have relied on have been WCVB ABC CH.5, WFXT FOX CH.25 and WBZ CBS CH.4.

CNN was a joke.

Good to see the local channels being supported! They're almost always the best at live reporting. I'm in Ohio, so I had to stick to the national networks, sadly.

Of course they are going to treat him humanely, even if the guy doesn't deserve it.

Seems kind of justified, considering these guys had explosives.

[enzo_gt]

I hear he's in critical condition? Any credence to that?

 

[HoosTrax]

Have you seen the interview? He has a pretty damn nice house. Looks like he's done really well for himself, unlike his shiftless brother's side of the family. The AOL thing is funny though.

 

[diamount]

Doesn't matter, he's not getting the death penalty regardless if it's now a federal issue. Terrorists who have caused more damaged are locked up and had the key thrown away.

 

[speculawyer]

I wouldn't worry about the Miranda warning stuff at all. It is not like this case is going to hinge on using his statements to incriminate him. Between the videos, the shoot-outs, evidence that they'll dig up from their homes . . . a conviction is pretty certain. So it is not really important at all in this case whether the give the warning or not.

They said several times that he was in serious but not critical condition.

 

[Black Mamba]

MSNBC just did an interview with the neighbor of the family since years ago.

She seemed really surprised that it's them. She said (as Christians) they broke bread with the family, was a smart family, nice family.


As of right now, there is definitely no known motive and all people who knew him are just stunned they did this.

It's Islam. Radical, of course. Good luck with that.

I feel you man, shit was really weird. I honestly think this event will be incredibly influential on law enforcement, social networking and the internet in general.

 

[Hightower]

There is no death penalty in the Commonwealth.

Federal charges over ride them.

Domestic terrorism, killing a cop and a luandry list of other charges...

Just the first two pretty much guarantee death.

No but it would be an interesting and shitty discussion to have for sure since social media provided a lot of bullying of innocent people.

 

[btrboyev]

I wonder if he will even talk

He's 19 and it's pretty apparent he wasn't like his brother. He didn't want to die. He was running scared and he gave himself up. He could have killed himself at any point. He'll talk. Like what others have said, I think his brother was the mastermind and had significant influence over his younger brother. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the older brother who killed the cop too.

 

[flyover]

Here's a great, pretty short, and still very relevant, piece from 2010 on the politics of Miranda and the Public Safety Exception:

[SneakySneaks]

I hear he's in critical condition? Any credence to that?

The Police Chief said he was in "serious" condition, which is slightly better. He has a neck or head wound and a leg wound. One of which is fairly serious.

Yeah it was good. Even though bunch of fake shit was posted right next to it was real stuff. It was something else.

Any idea where the boat location is and how far away it is from their last sighting, or where the police had the perimeter set up?

Laurel street is where the shooting happened last night.

 

[Izick]

Just what a shitty week....just fucking terrible...4 people died and nearly 200 people injured. People losing limbs. All because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Just an unfair world.

Lol that's probably true but it isn't for the reason you stated...

 

[Byakuya769]

I guess I can't get in the frame of mind of people living under lockdown for a day -- but does it seem like Boston just had the Avengers beat back an alien invasion that nearly destroyed their entire city?

Glad people are safe, but until we know what influences pushed the guys to commit these acts, I'm worried that this can happen again.

Fox's Eric Shawn reporting that law enforcement authorities told him they got ZERO information from any of the brothers' family or extended family after the photos were distributed.
