Man does not look like Sunil to me.

I agree.

 

[quaere]

So was the name actually said on the scanner? or is that a rumour?

One name was said on the scanner. It was not that Sunil guy.

Wait till daylight?

What?

Suspect may be a vampire, repeat

 

[Narag]

Well I know here there's a dark channel that's used in emergency situations like this, I'd assume a massive city like Boston has to have one.

Earlier in the night the dispatcher told them to switch channels and the scanner ended up being about other stuff going on in town. When it started back up about these guys, I was wondering if they had to offload traffic from the other channel.

 

[Kevtones]

I have a bad feeling about all of this...

 

[MooseKing]

Wait, they're waiting until daylight? Where do they have the suspect surrounded? In a house? I'm so lost

They have an entire area locked down. They are going to wait for daylight then sweep the area house by house.

 

[Mariolee]

Shit's like a movie, dunno where he'll turn up next. This is when we need Batman.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Thats what I thought before

I mean you are smart enough to do this shitty act at least keep it up. Change your hat and leave town.

Don't understand this whole daylight thing.Then again I do understand it. But what if some how he gets away or even stays at a friends house if he has any?

 

[CREMSteve]

Must.... sleep......

 

[zychi]

how 2nd suspect got away
*may be a re-enactment*

 

[Cousteau]

Are the real reporters from CNN on strike or something?

 

[antonz]

Makes perfect sense if they have the area locked down to wait. Far more dangerous to try and search house by house at this hour. You don't want to be trying to find a guy with automatic weapons and potentially explosives when its pitch black and he has the upper hand.

man thats gonna be a long night for residents

Superman would be better.

Just in: Police source tells me moments ago suspects were on MIT campus earlier tonight with one or several explosives and firearms

Oh boy.

Don't know if it is true, but I figured something like this happened and the cop who was killed intervened

 

[CRS]

I have a bad feeling about all of this...

So do I. Hoping that no one gets hurt in any way.

 

[Ashes]

Has anyone in this thread made that claim?

I brought up conversion simply because someone said that Sunil is not a muslim name. I was simply pointing out that people often convert to different religions. Never said anything about jihad, training, or even a connection between religion and this incident.

I'm confused. What is the implication with him being Muslim if not linked to islamist terrorism?

 

[everyday math]

This man is obviously not gonna back down without a fight. He's in a corner now. Godspeed to all the officers, swat members, FBi etc.

 

[Bsigg12]

So the guy could be on his smartphone listening to the scanner too.

Yea, but if he is, he's missing the other channel which could have god knows what kind of information on it. But, if he to get a hold of a police radio, he could manage to avoid police with that.

Suspect may be a vampire, repeat

CNN: "Marathon bomber suspect confirmed to be a vampire ghost"

 

[alr1ght]

I still don't know how they lost him in the first place.

Oh boy.

The MIT security guard probably saved a lot of lives tonight.

 

[Plasmid]

GAF im trusting you to keep this story in tact! Don't let false info spread and ruin the truth. good luck to those staying up.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

No way, that's illegal

 

[RiZ III]

Well I'm out. All you people in Boston stay safe.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Crashing. At last.

Hope to wake up to news they nailed the fucker at sun up.

 

[MaxwellGT2000]

sunrise is in about 2.5 hours.

Living on the east coast, we'll have light right before 6am

 

[giga]

Glad they were apprehended. Dead or alive. Explosives at MIT? Fuck that. That is scary.

 

[Cake Boss]

This man is obviously not gonna back down without a fight. Hes in a corner now. Godspeed to all the officers, swat members, FBi etc.

Dont forget the doggies.

 

[Narag]

Wondered about that earlier myself.

 

[MrCunningham]

Not until around 6-7am

Looking here, it says that daylight starts at 5:57pm in Boston:

http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/boston-massachusetts.html

But yeah, close to 6, as you said.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I want to sleep but I can't stop listening.

 

[cdyhybrid]

wait til daylight? Man, that seems like a possible mistake unless you were absolutely sure you had all exit routes covered.

Sounds like every police officer in the city and the FBI and SWAT are there, unless he can tunnel under them he's probably not going anywhere.

 

[pulga]

Someone better be checking the sewers.

 

[Heel]

Assign officers to the gaps? I hope they aren't talking about the perimeter.

 

[everyday math]

Dont forget the doggies.

Thats what etc is for!! ;D

 

[MThanded]

I'll assume any place he is hunkered down at is booby trapped.

 

[Meier]

Guess I'm gonna hit the sack. Gotta be up in under 4 hours for work. Crazy night/morning.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Police is telling media members to NOT stop their car for anyone other than a uniformed officer

 

[serplux]

Is this real life?

Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide...

 

[JCreasy]

Is this real life?

They're faking it. They think he's monitoring social media.

They're gonna lure him out.

 

[Scofield94941]

WHERE IS HE!!! - Batman

 

[tajd]

cnn do i need to see the pokice car flashing light im gonna go blind

Dunno, could have taken hostages before the evacuations.

 

[Tawpgun]

Signing out. Stay safe Boston area GAF. I don't normally lock my door, but I did tonight.

 

[Mariolee]

Superman would be better.

Superman's too busy taking down space octupi. We need Batman for stuff like this.

 

[985boi]

So wait were these 2 guys trying to set bombs at MIT and then got caught by security?

 

[M_A_C]

Where's the choppers with the heat cameras?

FBI, where's the drones?
