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

Still want to know why they didn't change their appearance whatsoever. Okay they stayed in Boston because they planned to do more attacks (I think this is a safe assumption based on them not escaping for 3 days + arsenal of arms), but why not at least take off your hoody in the last 24 hours?

And why not conceal your appearance at the marathon better? If they did so they could have gone on for god knows how long without being caught.

Just doesn't make sense.

Which is why I'm almost certain there's something bigger than these two.

They could've EASILY escaped as soon as the bombs went off and been halfway out of the country if need be to plan another day.

And yet they chose not too until the last minute.
 
So, what do you guys think the story will be?

Sounds like he was a good kid, seems completely out of character judging by the way he is described. I presume his brother had a history, and it seems as if he was his only role model, no?

And what's this about the FBI having been tipped off about the brother having Al Qaeda connections? Apparently Russia told Murrica about him, and the FBI actually talked to the older brother before? That to me sounds like pretty big news and what may end up developing as te next big thing as we wait for this kid to eventually spill the beans (and in that case, will the media even know about sensitive information like that if it turns out to be a bigger network?)
 
I'd like to think that the attacks were largely orchestrated by the older brother. :\

Doesnt matter really, considering the younger brother took part in it.

Now if he was sitting somewhere far away and did something like just answer a single phone car or got a vehicle ready which the brother used to drive into boston from another state, then perhaps.

But this?

Dude is going to face the law to its fullest thats for sure.
 
He looked choked up when talking about the eight year old. This has been such a crazy thing to happen. Hope these two crackpots are the only ones involved and this horrible ordeal is over.
 
Took a peek at /r/conspiracy just to see the general mood.....some warped individuals there. They want to investigate the couple with the boat for ties to the FBI because they believe they planted him there...
 
Yea, they mentioned it. Waiting for them to give more details. All BS right now. That was a random tease.

Crazy if true.

So who was that naked dude who picked the wrong time do to whatever the heck he was doin?

These are not rational, logical people. They are (or, were in one case) people set out to kill and injure many, many people. That's not normal. That's not logical. It's not what you or I or any other sane person would do. Therefore, they weren't thinking clearly. They probably had some sort of God-like complex. Who knows. But, it's definitely true that you have to be more than just a little "off" to do what they did, and that also means you may not think the whole thing through.
 
So glad Obama called out the internet detectives and tried to stop anti-Muslim/anything else feelings right away, not saying it'll do anything but I'm happy he at least mentioned those two things.

What else do you expect him to do? if you're a leader of a country who puts personal freedoms and right to religion without persecution, you're not going to suggest anything else.
 
From reading his stuff on Twitter, I hope there's still some sense left in the kid so that one day he can realize just how horrible of an act he committed. And when he does, that weight on his conscience will be far worse than torture.

Then again he could just be a sociopath, but I'd like to be surprised once in a while.
