Fuckkkkkk I'm supposed to be playing monster hunter but I can't stop watching.

off tv mode? It was made for this

"The suspect may or may not be wearing clothes, and may or may not be in spirit form. It's too close to tell." - Wolf Blitzer

Looks like a legit quote. Needs more "cocky" though.

 

[Joel Was Right]

If the suspects name is Sunil Tripathi he is not Muslim for sure. The video his family made mentions them being vegetarian even.

We both know, sadly, he need only be brown or have an 'exotic' name to be categorised as such. Then again most people hoping he is Muslim are ignorant and hateful, so its irrelevant as to what they may think

The name doesn't preclude conversion etc.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

And made up shit.

Don't be obtuse. It's similar in this thread.

 

[antipode]

The media is being told to stage at 550 Arsenal St - is that a sign they maybe caught him and are getting ready to tell the media?

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

*stares at iPhone screen for 4 hours.

Need. Sleep.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Or ran into the back of his own getaway car and dropped it..

DCX

Or he just met up with Josh Freeman at taco bell then slipped and fell into his ass.

 

[JLG-]

Yeah, that's who I've been following mostly, too. For some reason, this guy (Social Media Editor at @Reuters) has got all the details. With a mistake now and then, but that's expected.

Definitely. Mathew Keys is usually my go to guy when shit goes down.

 

[Pikma]

if that's mark sanchez he would have thrown the grenade and it would have been intercepted by the patriots

I love you guys.

"We'll Johnny if you sit down ill tell you the story, I was sitting in a chair. Typing furiously into the text box on neogaf..."

"It was the day I learned David carradine died as a result of auto erotic asphyxiation..."

 

[Chittagong]

This whole ordeal is playing out more and more like an episode of The Following

 

[PhoenixDark]

This is odd. Usually, Jihadists are willing/prepared to die during things like this. It reads like these guys are trying to survive together

The names released aren't Arabic either. Sound Hindi

 

[MThanded]

Nothing from the live updating post is "made up". Anything that is unconfirmed is clearly labeled as unconfirmed.

I was listening to the canner the whole time. Never heard sunil.

@SeanKellyTV 2m
Police lining Arsenal Street in and out of cars for more than a 2 mile stretch.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

It seems like there are pressure cooker bombs all over Watertown. That's so frightening.

Haha. Good old Wolf.

 

[Qvoth]

Hopefully when cops do finally caught him, they say something awesome like we got the sonovabitch or something

Same, Reddit is full of shit.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

One name has been released so far.

 

[MaxwellGT2000]

Police got that scorestreak, sending in the dogs, didn't know pressure cooker bombs was a streak though.

I believe they mentioned they want to get a picture of the suspect out earlier, but I may have misheard

 

[Joel Was Right]

None of this has struck me as the work of jihadists. They either bowl themselves up or put out a statement claiming responsibilty. This seems more like a shooting, ie just creating chaos.

I hope they are captured alive and we get to the bottom of this. But this being just a random attack is far-fetched to me

 

[zychi]

local 7 news says one is dead, the other is "held up in a home in watertown, surrounded by... basically an army"


get this motherfucker alive.

I am but I can't fight g rank rathalos and S. Uragaan, refresh GAF, and watch NBC all at the same time.

Couldn't he have converted?

[lenovox1]

Add mentioned up thread, ABC News and now FOX News Channel say that they have one of the marathon bombers; the other is at large.

 

[Bsigg12]

No we would have heard it over the scanner. I think they are going to get a message out that they are actively looking for him and give a description

 

[RJT]

Anyone else feel like we are living in 1984 right now watching these things happen live. It's bizzare.

I'm pretty sure you didn't read 1984. You should do it, it's a fantastic book.

(And no, this is not like 1984. In fact, it may be the complete opposite, as far as news reporting is concerned)

 

[alr1ght]

Thank jebus I have off work tomorrow (or in a few hours).

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

It's starting to rain out there!

 

[Kai]

I am Hindu - that name is definetly Hindi.

 

[xxracerxx]

Same, Reddit is full of shit.

Bjb will tell you to stow that "reddit-salt".

 

[NoRéN]

Fuckkkkkk I'm supposed to be playing monster hunter but I can't stop watching.

Why play Monster hunter when you can watch the hunt of a real live monster unfold.

 

[Zozz]

OH man, just been getting high and watching this all unfold. WORK WILL SUCK!!!

@MichaelSkolnik 14s
transit officer has been shot, condition unknown.

@GlobeJenPeter 3m
MBTA spokesman: A transit officer is being treated at a local hospital for gunshot wounds.

@GlobeJenPeter 2m
To be clear, the shooting of the transit officer is related to the rest of the mayhem this evening.

 

[Devolution]

I wonder if something is going down, barely anything over the scanners at all.

 

[triplestation]

im watching this on cbs and the reporters are repeating the same things over and over

is there any live overhead stuff?

 

[kassatsu]

Why are they still showing the naked guy on CNN?

 

[Cousteau]

I imagine, "how you like dem apples?" must have been said at least once tonight out there.
I hope so at least.

 

[MIMIC]

I was listening to the canner the whole time. Never heard sunil.

The whole "transcribed on Reddit" was like, "WTF?"

Did the police start speaking an ancient language or something?

 

[Ryaaan14]

local 7 news says one is dead, the other is "held up in a home in watertown, surrounded by... basically an army"


get this motherfucker alive.

If he's held up in a home, the likelihood of being brought into custody is low. Best chance would have been detaining him on foot. Ugh.

 

[Pikma]

I am but I can't fight g rank rathalos and S. Uragaan, refresh GAF, and watch NBC all at the same time.

Well, of course you're not Wario64, what the hell did you expect?

 

[Tawpgun]

Not sure if its better this happened late at night or not.

Pros are less people to get hurt. Less pedestrians getting in a way.

Cons are I think a bystander would have taken this guy out.

 

[quaere]

Scanner activity dying down, they either got him or trail is cold.

 

[Mariolee]

"This is one race, he won't finish"

I can definitely imagine Jonah Hill saying that.
