I've been listening to http://audio2.radioreference.com/446184308.mp3 all night, hasn't stopped working once. Been listening to it in Winamp, if you remove the .mp3 at the end you might be able to listen to it in your browser but if you get an Access Denied message you'll need to use the .mp3 extension.

We're going to have that dumb thing with the national media leaping and speculating on everything again. Meanwhile all night, Channel 5 and 7 in Boston did real work. Refused to speculate and throw out rumors until they confirmed with their sources. (Even stuff being reported elsewhere.) Had people on location who refused to speculate in the heat of the moment and said they wouldn't rule out a series of coincidences. (insert Garak quote) But then as stuff came in went to work and explained key details.
But the national networks are also the ones who have the key national sources in intelligence and such where much of the info now will come from.
lol

I'm pretty sure I didn't advocate for anything like that. But please continue with your Manichean accusations. Your ignorance is clearly not limited to how guns function.

Well, a quick bit of research shows we shouldn't be too quick to connect Chechnya to Al-Qaeda or anything like that.
Dude posted this on twitter, he's been sitting there couple minutes before those bullets hit, lucky!
Fuck ....
Possibly. Despair set in or nerve gave up after he left his brother for dead.

man, I was totally wrong days before :S.
I would have never have guessed Chechnyans.
I hope they find him alive and bring him to justice and weed out anymore accomplices, especially those who harbored them knowingly.

Ah ok, thanks! Either way, what were they thinking? It's unfathomable. They are clearly not stupid individuals, so why stoop to petty theft near the same area as your MAJOR crime???
So just waking up to all this.. wow so are those Police Officers or is that Military?
Edit: Someone said Swat? Makes sense..
From MTHanded:
For those waking up here is the summary of what happened in Boston overnight. Attempted to rob 7-11, they killed an MIT police officer, hijacked a car, stole a police vehicle, threw explosives out of window during chase, got into firefights in neighborhood, one of them died from being shot to death by the cops and a bomb vest going off(suspect 1), and the other is hiding and there's supposedly bombs planted all over the place(suspect 2) .

Supposedly yes.
Don't bitch at me, I'm not the one that tried to hijack the thread and turn it into a gun rights discussion. I'm done with the subject because it's stupid and this isn't the thread for it.

Looks like Homeland Security to me.
CNN took hours to get on this story, proceeded to do no good reporting on it, and now they are going to spend all day with their "breaking news" on unverified stories

BBC just floated Kurdistan...that would fit #2's tone, he'd confused me before - couldn't place him. In US for 10 years then; so am guessing the brothers were mostly alone and fed one anothers obsessions?

Yes these are the marathon bombers
All jokes aside, you know there will be a movie within the next 4-5 years. You just know it.

These have got to be the dumbest terrorists ever. First, they get all caught on video before they planted the bombs. Second, they don't even change their appearance (dye hair, shave head, change the way they dress). Third, they don't flee the scene ASAP but hang around and actually rob a 7-11 (knowing how tight security was I'm Boston). Then they carry more bombs strapped to the chest (you know, just in case they get into a firefight with the police). It seems that, as much planning that must've gone into making these plans possible, they didn't plan much for the aftermath of what they knew it was to be a statehood manhunt. Dumb!

So now protecting your family consists entirely of people running around outside their homes with their firearms? The logical assumption to make is that it is referencing protection of their families IN THEIR HOMES. Which is absolutely a fantastic idea. That you would be able to defend your life and the lives of your family from a terrorist, or anyone else with deadly intentions, when they try to enter your home. You and your family can be the tragic story if you want. At least there are still some people around who allow for the lawful application of lethal force to protect and defend lives.
I'm fine with this.
2 years probably.

Wait so if they had this many mobs why didn't they use them at the marathon? Were they planning to strike somewhere else perhaps?
Thanks!

So when the one dude ran his brother over, the police chased him and he got out of the car and ran? That's the bit I'm confused about. Where is the vehicle now?
