Yeah. So that's why I'd caution on the Sunil angle. If they internally identified one of the suspects as Sunil I think they'd just come out and use the wealth of better pictures...no? Or do they hold back on releasing names/photos that would positively identify someone, even if they know themselves?

Other guy is dead and they still aren't IDing him. Not sure what is going on.

 

[GavinGT]

superimposer, that photo isn't photoshopped is it?

We laid that to rest many hours ago. A supposed expert on Twitter basically turned himself into a real life version of the Photoshop guy meme, and was rebuffed. The FBI themselves released the highest-res version we have available. Besides, given all we know now, the entire argument was for naught.

Let it go, #Team CG.

 

[xbhaskarx]

To those doubting it's Sunil.



That looks suspiciously like Sunil's uncle from this video (1:15):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=t12tfTJ10bU

Is he involved somehow? This is getting weirder all the time

Holy shit dude I think you have stumbled upon a terrorist sleeper cell family based on that video.

 

[malfcn]

Apprehended?

suspect apprehended?

Heard too.

 

[everyday math]

scanner went down!!! LINKKK PLZ

Just refresh. Worked for me again.

 

[MrCunningham]

but the nose ?

I dunno... look at that chin line and hair...

maybe the low res 7-11 camera distorts things like the nose a bit... but...

 

[UFRA]

WAT Suspect 1 had a bomb strapped [scanner]

Thank you, for being one of the few people courteous enough to take 1 second extra to put their source of info in at the end of their post rather than just saying "ZOMG nuke just exploded" and we all have no idea where that came from..

 

[Skab]

some of you guys have some serious fucking selective hearing

 

[Colasante]

I mean, the fuck, how do you carry around more than one pressure cooker at a time?

Device at the hospital?????

 

[DrSlek]

Channel 7 is hearing that there are several unidentified explosive devices scattered around residential neighbourhoods

How do they know they're explosive if they're unidentified?

 

[Lonestar]

USA top 10 trending is everything involving this. Names, locations.

And some sort of Pink Party between Texas and UCF.

 

[Anton668]

suspect apprehended?

not yet, warning for if/when apprehended

 

[cdyhybrid]

Jon Stewart is going to rake CNN over the coals for this.

God I can't wait for this. It's gonna be ether like no other.

[Shake Appeal]

I want them to get him alive. I want to understand.

 

[jbug617]

The 7-11 they were at was probably the one in Central Sq.

 

[Shard]

Third suspect?

 

[Good Job Bob]

Don't believe they're going to catch this guy alive at this point, I just hope he doesn't harm others on his way out.

 

[everyday math]

God damn suicide bomber.


These guys are insane.

[Crimsonclaw111]

Holy shit I hope this is one of those times where a detonation fails for the White Hat suspect, if he is indeed strapped with a device.

Stay safe, police force.

Where is your source on this?

 

[Always-honest]

Damn.... This will not be pretty i fear.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Whoa.. suspect 1 blew himself up? According to scanner

Makes sense with the show me your hands stuff. I wondered why he wasn't in custody and was dead. I was worried the cops killed the guy who was on the ground giving up.

 

[Blearth]

You people claiming it's definitely (not) Sunil should chill or you're going to eat a lot of crow soon.

It's not him.

 

[NoRéN]

not with a bomb on his chest. Dude wants to kill more cops.

 

[East Lake]

You people claiming it's definitely (not) Sunil should chill or you're going to eat a lot of crow soon.

Why? We just got through an ordeal where a high schooler was falsely identified.

So let me get this straight, is this related to the Boston event earlier this week?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

He doesn't look like the student to me, idk. I hope they take him alive.

 

[TCRS]

he's not getting out of this alive. they're going to shoot him.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

MIT reporting a suspicious device in what I assume is their vicinity (I don't know the roads around there).

EDIT: From MIT website:

Friday, April 19, 2013 4:30 AM -- A suspicious package has been reported in the area of 500 Memorial Drive. Police are setting up a perimeter. Please stay away from this area until further notice.

 

[Kuroyume]

Such an insane thread. When it first went up I thought it was just some random shooting. Check a few hours later. 70+ pages and now you have bombs and the suspects were the same marathon bombers. And now some missing student could have been the same guy? So crazy. Hope they catch him alive.

Seriously, if so I had no idea. I just saw it pop up on Reddit now and I've been asleep so if it's not a real photo then apologies

 

[Kai]

Didn't that Reddit post about the commission worker say the distraught early 20 year old would be caught on Friday morning? This is getting weirder and weirder...

 

[NYCmetsfan]

yes

 

[enzo_gt]

Yes. Same exact suspects.

The 7-11 they were at was probably the one in Central Sq.

Fuck. I've been there many, many times.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

They found a house full of explosives

Source?

Could this be the safehouse where the bombs were made?

 

[EleventhDoctor]

I know this sounds corny and like something in a movie but is there any way to knock this guy out/tranq him like Solid Snake to ensure he doesn't detonate anything?

Scanner

Kk thanks guys.

 

[fabricated backlash]

The guy is peering out of the bushes.

They have not IDed either person yet.

I know this is dead serious, but holy shit if this isn't a funny update.

 

[MThanded]

They had to be making the bombs somewhere.

I would clear out all the nearby houses. Shit is not going to be good.

 

[stufte]

So let me get this straight, is this related to the Boston event earlier this week?

yep

 

[Warm Machine]

He can't possibly be carrying that many bombs. The things are of a decent size and probably heavy.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I really hope they can take him in alive.
