I can't believe how much of this is being broadcast live, this is nuts.
 
Summary of uncle statement plz

He hasn't kept up with those kids in years. Their parents live in russia minding their own business. The brothers haven't been to school or have done anything since they went to America, so the uncle cut them off as "losers."

The uncle was learning a lot of details while being interviewed. He told his wife and she was shocked because neither of them new one of them was dead.

At the sound of his shock he said he didn't empathize with him, but he's a part of "his blood." And now the best he can do is distance himself. "What else would a normal person do?"

He also said they don't deserve to live on this planet.
 
I doubt that handgun or even rifle bullets can go through bricks. Judging by the pics those weren't high caliber.

You can smash through Brock with a hammer. It's speed that breaks through brick.

The 7.62x39 FMJ round used in the popular AK-47 and its many variants was designed to be able to go through 2 layers of masonry brick or a foot of sand and still be lethal at over 100 yds.

A .223 (M16) round will certainly punch through brick. It'll be spinning out-of control after, but it'll go through, and I wouldn't want to be hit by it.

A .357 mag or a .45 will break through most normal brick too, as long as you aren't using hollow points or some sort of fragmenting round.
 
Holy shit. In was listening to the scanner when this first started (was listening when first shooting happened) and just woke up and CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DON'T HAVE HIM YET. How the fuck did he get away?

This is absolutely batshit insane. It was crazy last night when it went from MIT shooting (huh that's odd) to stolen police car to shoot out with bombs being thrown and then it was pretty clear thos might be connected. Never seen/heard anything like this.
 
We're down to the scanner, people. I think they're staying off the air. Not repeating the numbers of the houses they just dropped on the scanner.

SWAT incoming.
 
Agents on bullhorns telling someone to "come out" of the house

Who knows who they're talking to, though
 
All you're doing is hoping that people won't notice the facts if we don't talk about them.

People aren't idiots.


People won't stop focusing on a relevant fact just because it makes you unhappy.

Radical Islam has fueled a ludicrous number of terrorist attacks over the world over the past two to three decades, not because of magical coincidence, but because of an ideology dedicated to the same. The fact that they are Muslims is not an irrelevant sideshow that we just ignore because someone's political agenda demands it.

YOU are the one ignoring relevant details. We are not saying obscure the fact they were Muslim. STOP OBSCURING ALL OF THE OTHER RELEVANT DETAILS.
