Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

Staying inside when there has been frequent gunplay and there's an ongoing manhunt is prudent. Canceling the Boston Mathon next year would be giving in to terror.
There's a diffrence between cowering in fear and staying out of the way so the cops can catch a bad guy.
Welllll.....you're right. But it's the hopeful sentiment about it that's being emphasized.
"We shall rise" and whatnot.
And this

Aww... Kid hi-fives SWAT guy as they search house. 1 min 10 sec in.
Yea I don't think he really believes the crazy shit that comes out of this mouth. He's just found a nice little niche were he can make money talking to the nutty people.
Yea, at this point who knows where the fuck he can be. Hoping for the best though.
A woman and child were taken from their home a few hours ago.
Don't know if that could have been them.

I prefer to watch North American news sources, especially regarding a domestic issue.

Was there any chance he was wounded in the firefight? I haven't read any details about it.

I missed this in the early am but how did the one guy get away? He drove away but did they just not chase him or lose him or what
Weather was bad

As far as CNN goes and where I like to listen to news, I love NPR for news and a lot of other things.
None have been as current as GAF is though.

There's a difference between safety and being scared at unneeded times.
So awesome. Can someone GIF that for me please?
Shit someone call the FBI!
Seriously though, I'm sure she is in protective custody to keep people from doing anything rash.

Hmm. Might those people be in their homes because they were asked to stay in their homes by the authorities? Keeping safe isn't the same thing as being intimidated or terrorized...

Question, is there a reason they are so certain he is in Waterton? I'm guessing he fled there last night but why do they thing he just stopped?
This, and it's why I can't blame them for

It's absolutely true (of the major networks, that is). A few years ago when I would still watch them, I'd say even their midday and nightly news was the best of any of the major networks. (It was just the events, not the pundits.) I stopped watching though, so I can't say whether that's still the case.
Can anyone GIF this. Too cute.
Actually, fuck asking nicely. Sgt FURY demands a GIF.
Worst abbot and Costello impression ever.
FBI Most Wanted lists exist for a reason. I think it's highly unlikely that this kid could escape capture for very long on his own, but it's not unheard of.

We haven't really gotten any concrete details about the shooting last night.
They did, but it couldnt stay up due to weather conditions

So this friend recognized the bomber on the video but didn't want to "throw him under the bus" by calling the FBI? What a dick.

If he really wanted to fuck with us, that kid should climb into a big garbage dumpster and shoot himself. If the body was not discovered and ended buried in a landfill, we'd all be wondering for years WTF happened to him.
Of course, there is a good chance the body would be discovered though by the smell or by some sanitation worker.

Awww indeed.
I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't say. Just pointing out what the internet tells me. Exigency has to take into account the scope of danger, the urgency with which you need to find the suspect, the danger the suspect poses (considerable in this case), and a number of other factors. Given that they're assuming he has explosive devices on his person and the crimes he's alleged to have committed in addition to the crimes of last night the search of homes in the area it sounds like it would easily fall within the law.
Lawyer-GAF could tell you better than I.
I would bet good money that he hasn't gone far. Still in Massachusetts (probably still in Boston), laying low somewhere. Or dead.
Yup. Even if he gets out of town I doubt he'll make it out of the country.
To Mexico!

He escaped on foot, the thought was that he couldn't have gotten far.
The whole city has been on lockdown, so it would be noticed if someone left in a car.

So is this guy tweeting or something?

That's cute.
Yeah, just casually sitting somewhere on his phone posting new tweets. The idiot even has the location option checked.
Should be charged as an accessory.
He had 12 hours to get out out the city by foot, the city aint that large. In 12 hours he could had gotten out.

That is awesome. Good on the guy for doing that.
Not to speak for everyone, but as someone who spent the day inside because they asked us to, I wasn't really worried, just thought I'd stay out of the way and off the roads. I spent some of the day watching the news, and some of it doing other things, like barbecuing some ribs.
I'm sure a lot of people were scared, but a lot of us are just trying to stay out of the way.
