Police scanner

 

[Freezie KO]

Channel 5 reporting that they are no longer serving tea in Watertown?

 

[MThanded]

I believe Sunil Tripathi and Mike Mulugeta were mentioned over the police scanner.

No they were not. That was not true at all. No names have officially been released.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

 

[Jintor]

Holy shit. They're shutting down the entire MBTA?

Unsure. Perhaps just in the area. Channel 7 appears to imply it's the whole thing.

 

[Uhyve]

What's he holding btw?

A box of Red Bull?

 

[Ctrl A1t Elite]

What was that phone number they just said on the scanner? I don't think they realised the mic was on.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

It all makes sense. How do you think he got his gif training?

Clearly overseas courtesy of the ISI. ; )

 

[segasonic]

Who the fuck needs grenades for private purposes?!

for duck hunting obviously

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I kind of hope those assholes bought the grenades and heavy weaponry from a corrupt arms dealer (in case they're foreign students) or officially and this will get some stricter gun controls going.
Who the fuck needs grenades for private purposes?!

Hand grenades aren't even classed as firearms. Has nothing to do with gun control.

 

[Amir0x]

what the fuck, looks like I woke up to some crazy shit happening in this case.

 

[jbug617]

Unsure. Perhaps just in the area. Channel 7 appears to imply it's the whole thing.

The whole thing

 

[wenis]

MBTA shut down. Wow.

Public transit?

 

[Game-Biz]

No, they were not.

Mulugeta was, but not Sunil.

 

[lenovox1]

I believe Sunil Tripathi and Mike Mulugeta were mentioned over the police scanner.

Is what Reddit said, but people here only heard the second name over the police scanner.

 

[VALIS]

"grey hoodie, green lettering on top of orange lettering"

Public transit?

Yes

 

[NoRéN]

This is greater in scope than we've seen before (there's another guy at the back).

Oh my! The guy in the back is none other than one of the handsome emiratis deported from saudi arabia.

confirming with LEO now.

 

[Cartman86]

This is how news will be done from now on. It was bad enough in the time of Columbine and all the misreporting and half-truths that persist about that even today, but now everything is completely muddled, and by the time it's properly pieced together and explained after the fact, we'll have moved onto the next clusterfuck of speculation and 'twitter journalism'.

It fucking sucks because it doesn't have to be that way. Like everything these days you agree going to have to really pick good sources. Still think its great for things like Arab Spring and Iran. We will see if it continues to be so reactionary.

 

[Macho Madness]

CBS clueless. Says Suspect 1 is the one still loose.

 

[Fusebox]

Guy looks nothing like Sunil. It's definitely not him.

Opinions. And lighting. And facial expressions. And time. And low resolution photos with lots of compression artifacts.

 

[benjipwns]

Holy shit. They're shutting down the entire MBTA?

Yep, suspended for the day, there was a bit of confusion it seems because they mentioned Watertown but they meant the entire thing.

OK the jokes are dumb as hell now.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

No one here heard Sunil's name on the scanner.

Mulugeta was, but not Sunil.

 

[PopeReal]

what the fuck, looks like I woke up to some crazy shit happening in this case.

Crazier than you could guess.

 

[CRS]

Public transit?

Yeah.

Massachusetts Bay Transit

 

[Lombaszko]

WCVB: No MBTA service today. This is surreal, like a movie or something.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

 

[enzo_gt]

OK the jokes are dumb as hell now.

They were always dumb.

 

[outunderthestars]

What's he holding btw?

Are you talking about the Nitrogen gasoline decal?

 

[I'm new be nice]

A box of Red Bull?

That's what I thought.

 

[sangreal]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

No; anonymous sources

 

[Persona7]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

No

 

[Evlar]

Public transit?

Yes. Shutting the whole city down, if it's system wide.

 

[Diggeh]

Stop polluting this thread with moronic jokes. This is not the time for casual GAF joking.

My prayers go out to the police force. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

 

[ambientmystic]

Mulugeta was, but not Sunil.

This is true, I heard Mulugeta's name mentioned on the scanner. The name Sunil was never mentioned.

 

[Game-Biz]

what the fuck, looks like I woke up to some crazy shit happening in this case.

Yeah, crazier than you think.

 

[Gustav]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

I saw the police presser and I don't remember anybody mentioning that the suspects were from overseas.

 

[MThanded]

the police don't know that all service was suspended.

 

[wenis]

for rabbit hunting obviously

Ftfy

 

[benjipwns]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

He said nothing about the suspects except that they were the bombing suspects, one was dead and the other was loose.

 

[Coldsnap]

woke up whats going on? is this an extension of what happened at mit? i thought that was a 200lb blackman.

 

[FalconSabre]

The police guys on the scanner are talking about not hearing about Channel 7's report on the MBTA service being shut down.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

"grey hoodie, green lettering on top of orange lettering"



Yes

yeah so is that scanner is real?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

WCVB: No MBTA service today. This is surreal, like a movie or something.

lol they just went over on the scanner.

"you heard anything about the transit being close"

"nah"

"maybe for just this area?"

 

[VALIS]

Police now asking each other if the T is suspended through all Boston. The "T" is the subway system.

 

[J-Rzez]

I kind of hope those assholes bought the grenades and heavy weaponry from a corrupt arms dealer (in case they're foreign students) or officially and this will get some stricter gun controls going.
Who the fuck needs grenades for private purposes?!

Err... I'm assuming this is sarcasm.

 

[Anton668]

Public transit?

yeah

 

[lenovox1]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

No, that's FOX's own information.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Did the commissioner in the press conference early say they came from overseas? I don't remember him saying that but Fox are reporting it

No. I think what he said was "these people came here to kill people" or something along those lines. Was probably misinterpreted by some.

 

[Jintor]

Channel 7 saying they've heard from their sources that the first police officer who was killed was ambushed. The next press conference incoming.
