So is it really true that they found the 7-11 footage because of a later robbery? Just sounds fake/inaccurate in a story full of inaccuracies.

To my knowledge, there was a robbery happening when they arrived. Not sure what tipped the officers off, an employee or the CCTV stills capturing them in the store but it seems they knew as much as we did once the shooting at MIT happened.

I want the dash cam footage to be released of the chase where they were pressing rb and dropping grenades. This story is just surreal. It really was like GTA or something.

Absolutely. I was trying to explain this to my old man tonight but having never played the game he just wasn't getting it.

Some of those pics of the cops and their APC's or whatever rolling down the street are STRAIGHT out of GTA it's crazy.

 

[triplestation]

uh is there any video footage of white cap speaking?

Dude seems to be based in the UK, which would explain the accent. That and you know there are a ton of different accents for the English language.

They mentioned on the news he had been showing interest in the videos of a radical from Australia or some such. They gave his name and all. I forget the name.

That's the videos you are watching.

On 4chan, images containing an exploitable cutout of the girl have been also referred to as “Bubbles Girl” or simply “Chubbles.”

bwahahahaha

He must have been severely influenced by his brother, all character descriptions indicate him as a great normal guy.

"@TroyCrossley ahaha word mayne but that's not why I like the show... Lol fair to say all those hoes are prolly dirty..."

Jesus, what a poser. All quiet and nice in real life, but an internet gangsta on Twitter. Hate guys like these.

To be fair, a lot of the girls on Game of Thrones are prostitutes that like it dirty. Hahaha.

Mila Kunis as the Italian girlfriend? Nice

Boston bombing: How internet detectives got it very wrong

For the past 48 hours, internet users have been working with each other to piece together clues about the culprits of the Boston bombings. The result? They got it wrong - and left innocent people fearing for their safety. Many are now asking: should "crowd-sourced investigations" be stopped?

 

[Coldsnap]

About those 5 guys dressed in military like gear. I heard somewhere like on Monday right after the bombing that there was a meet up for people who served in Iraq. Was just a small group who were friends meeting for a drink. That could be them, harmless.

It's real.

It's like Speed 2, only with a bus instead of a boat!

You guys think this is a joke.

But I'm taking that post seriously. lol

I mentioned way earlier in this thread, but one of my friends in college went to high school with him, and said he was a pretty normal guy. Obviously things like this are hard to detect when just casual friends, but still, he was kind of in shock.

Or they were outside security hired because of specific specialties, happens all the time and is totally normal.

No need for that fuck head 'Mike Adams' to be posted her spewing his drivel, we can all agree.

great article.

that isn't what they were writing about.

not that I expected many on here to see the article for what it is and your response was expected

Except they never accused an innocent man of terrorism. I'm still pissed about that NYPost front page from the other day.

Very good read, and rather on point. Racist where's wally sounds quite apt as well lol.

 

[Jopie]

The twitter of the younger brother is bizarre. 90% of the stuff is normal banter from a college student. Pop culture references, talking about school, and then every tenth post or so you get "Never underestimate the rebel with a cause" , "If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all that's left is to take action" and "you will have to make tough decisions today and those decisions will influence your future, hardships will arouse and yu will roll up loud" that are cryptic looking back on them.

 

[Kuroyume]

The internet got it wrong like detectives and police get it wrong. And like news agencies get it wrong. But unlike the media and law enforcement the internet doesn't get paid to do it nor do they have the same type of resources. To point the finger at the internet strikes me as utterly stupid since the internet isn't a single entity. I watched all the speculation but never made any judgement. Internet detectives have been useful before.

Speaking of that, what happened to Sunhil? Is he dead?

The difference is that the internet has no accountability. If CNN or investigators out an innocent man and hound him over it, they can be sued and people can be fired. There's no risk to the rampant speculation that you're Joe Reddit/4Chan guy does so they always invariably go to far, even if it's a minority of them.

No idea but SO MANY people are aware of his disappearance now. Maybe someone will notice him somewhere.

 

[B-Dubs]

I think he's still missing. I hope the guy is going to be ok, it would really suck if something had happened to him. Especially after all that shit.

I think you're over-interpreting it in light of what's happened. That doesn't sound any different from "inspiration" quote some people like to post on social media.
