I think this is his legit twitter btw:

https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_

He is a united fan apparently.

FWIW.... I saw a interview with a former schoolmate of his who said she and others recognized him last night and when they looked his facebook account had been deleted already.

It was on one of the national GMA type shows about an hour ago.

EDIT: oops i'm half asleep thought you said Facebook... :/

That one is probably real!

Twitter*, and no, that doesn't look legit at all. Tweeting about British football?

What are the odds someone created a fake account months ago using that kid's name? Very unlikely.
 
Yeah, some white male in a blue shirt is waving the police to come to him, for some reason, from the second floor of a building.
 
Yikes. Just tell him to be extra cautious today, and to call you if anything happens to him where he might need some guidance.
I'm mostly worried about the possible profiling due to his Name/look. He's Russian born in Lithuania but things are going insane.

I'm just glad no ones been hurt since I took my hour nap.
 
Wow goodbye ustream scanner. Cops got mad pull.

Probably for the best right now. They specifically asked us to refrain from listening in.
 
Ah so there's where the "posting online" rumor came from.

I think all scanner feeds are down. Probably not just from being hit - I was wondering when they'd just disable them all.
 
Chechnya's political status is in dispute and has been for a long time. Russia has some claim over the territory, albeit a weak and arguably illegitimate one based on conquest.

It's like if a Kurd were being spoken of as being an Iraqi, a Tibetan as Chinese or a Basque referred to as a Spaniard.


Just a technical note, if this was an objective argument for legitimacy, every major country would have to negatively revise their border claims. Especially all the countries that sit permanently on the UN security council.
 
You've linked to Twitter, not Facebook; the Twitter account uses a publicly available photo; and you can easily rename your account username/real name. There's no specific content that suggests anything about him except for the bio details which can be changed after the fact. Why do you think this is legit?
Eh, yeah, good point. I didn't even think of that. Fucking Twitter.
 
On the scanner:
I WILL KILL YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER
...
...
Can you, uh, repeat that?
I WILL KILL YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER
...

Hes online/on-the-line

Am honestly sure it were him. Maybe someone else but someone seemed to interrupt and make that statement. Its nothing to do with twitter and twitter was never mentioned, nor is the above quote what was posted on twitter.

So either an officer read it out or someone interrupted the line.

Apparently it was just a cop reading what the fake twitter account said online, but said it with some emotion. Fooled a lot of us as it came so out of nowhere.

Yeah there was a good deal of static/breakup for a wee while and then "I will kill you...." and the eggy silence/wtf moment for the other guys using the radio. I actually said "Holy shit" out loud because I thought it was him.
 
What motive was there for killing the MIT cop? Did he try to detain them or something?
None. He was sitting in his car and they killed him in cold blood, presumably to take weapons or his vehicle.
