Making a break for Canada?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Possibly Chechen refugees, I suppose. Thanks for the info.

Quite possible. From 1999-2001, the brothers went to school in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Then left Dagestan as young kids to Kirgistan then to US one year ago.

oh god

Two unidentified people were taken into custody at the Cambridge, Mass., home where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan grew up, but they were not being described as additional suspects. Three dozen FBI agents were ringing the house. he Federal Aviation Administration has established a 7-mile no-fly zone over Watertown.

 

[MMBosstones86]

something about a suspicious package? anyone else pick up on it?

 

[MilesWebber]

I graduated from Watertown High. Hope everyone is okay.

 

[OttomanScribe]

The name, Tzarnaev, isn't ethnically Chechen or Muslim. Though Tamerlan and Dzhokhar are. He isn't from Chechnya, he is from Dagestan.

we gotta save terrnance and philip

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Making a break for Canada?

shit.
i hope not.

I'm american, but I'd hate to see them create chaos for my canadian brothers.

 

[East Lake]

Making a break for Canada?

Doubt it. With his face out he'd probably have to swim the river at this point.

 

[gutshot]

Just catching up with all of this... so Reddit is 0-for-2 on IDing the suspects? GG

 

[NinjaFridge]

Heard something going down.

 

[GavinGT]

Undercover car with a bumper sticker thing on the back window. Never seen that trick pulled before.

Nah prolly just a reflection of siren lights.

 

[Ace Harding]

Has there ever been a manhunt like this? Even before social media and stuff? This many people on lockdown, this many members of law enforcement? Has to be totally unprecedented right?

I am still dumbfounded that this 19 year old kid has managed to stay hidden this long.

PER WGRZ, Niagara Falls Mayor is calling this a "routine traffic stop" and says the people in the car are NOT Russian nationals

Making a break for Canada?

Sounds like it's nothing.

 

[sketchsanchez]

Fuck, im flying to nyc tonight and im freaking out. Sigh.

 

[jmdajr]

Damn, he's just a kid

yeah, fucking terrible

 

[Phoenix]

I've given Al Jazeera crap in the past because I wasn't that familiar with it, but every time I've watched their coverage, I've been really impressed.

Agreed. There have been plenty of times I've been watching something good and then looked to see the Al Jazeera symbol in the corner.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

I did, 10 minutes ago

I got family who live not even 15 minutes away, Christ.

edit: it's nothing, good.

 

[TommyT]

Just waking up to this... wow, such a dramatic turn of events already!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Making a break for Canada?

That would be my guess. As most know the border is very close. Hopefully they are on higher alert after this week. Really want it to be a coincidence tho.

 

[JohnTinker]

NBC: One suspect is believed to be in the Boston area. The other is believed to have taken a train to Connecticut

these are accomplices

 

[| Praxis |]

Well they pretended to be detectives and were blaming the wrong people, just to give one reason

Ha, pot calling the kettle black comes to mind. I have been reading the threads the past few days and Gaf has been just as bad. Let's all get off our high horses for a minute shall we.

 

[EagleBurnn]

Making a break for Canada?

That place is at lockdown. He's not stepping a foot out of there.

 

[slit]

Making a break for Canada?

Probably, either that or they were trying to hit a major tourist destination.

 

[benjipwns]

I've given Al Jazeera crap in the past because I wasn't that familiar with it, but every time I've watched their coverage, I've been really impressed.

I think Al Jazeera and FOX News are better than many of the other sources on breaking news. They have great networks.

I have no idea what has happened to CNN's.

The analysis sucks on all of them.

 

[HoosTrax]

Wow I guess I expect more denial out of the uncle, instead of straight to the rage phase.

The brothers’ uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CBS that his nephews arrived in the U.S. around 2001.

“They do not deserve to exist on this earth,” he said.

“I just wished they never existed. I am wordless.”

Their parents live in Russia, the uncle said.

Dzokhar was a quiet boy, Ruslan Tsarni said. He called Tamerlan “a loser” and said of his death “he deserved it.”

But the younger brother, who in the spring of 2011 received a $2,500 scholarship from the city of Cambridge, has been “a nice, quiet boy," the uncle said.

globeandmail

Although, the last quote makes me wonder if the younger brother will be less inclined to go down fighting.

Those sneaky bastards!

There's no point in panicking if you're in NYC- you'll be fine, just try to enjoy your trip.

 

[JABEE]

The Father's quote saying "if they killed him, all Hell will break loose."

 

[NinjaFridge]

Probably, either that or they were trying to hit a major tourist destination.

or nothing.

I am still dumbfounded that this 19 year old kid has managed to stay hidden this long.

Agreed, this seems pretty large to lockdown Boston as a whole.

 

[legend166]

What happened to ChiTownBuffalo and his LEO?

 

[JambiBum]

Quite possible. From 1999-2001, the brothers went to school in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Then left Dagestan as young kids to Kirgistan then to US one year ago.

According to what I just heard on the radio this is false. They have apparently been in the states for years and went to school here. NPR just had an interview with someone that went to school with the one on the run.

Guess the plates alarmed them

You know, you probably shouldn't give crap to someone/something that you aren't familiar with...

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Picture of the cop that was killed

aaaannnd reddit killed the new scanner

Wow, so young. Sad.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

NBC: One suspect is believed to be in the Boston area. The other is believed to have taken a train to Connecticut

these are accomplices

just what I need in CT

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Man, is Al-Jazeera following this live? CNN is awful. Interviewing a freshman who lives 1 block away, just because...

 

[tajd]

NBC: One suspect is believed to be in the Boston area. The other is believed to have taken a train to Connecticut

these are accomplices

there more omg

 

[zephervack]

NBC: One suspect is believed to be in the Boston area. The other is believed to have taken a train to Connecticut

So there are 3 suspects? Wat?

 

[strafer]

This is like an episode of 24.

And that officer.. poor guy.

 

[Kinitari]

Waddup?

You might want to keep that info toned down until this blows over. Maybe you can pass for a Mennonite. At least for a few weeks. Or if you want to be really safe, maybe go full bogan.

 

[DietRob]

That's fine. They are still faster than gaf in terms of stuff like this. It's numbers really. Plus the iama are good, when's the last time Obama was on gaf?

I admit I have gone to reddit for imma but for situations like this GAF is better because it serves a a filter for Reddit's unnavigable interface. I get they have more numbers than us. I choose not to go because many many on GAF are also on Reddit so I feel like only the best and most relevant information comes to GAF by way of them.

 

[Pedrito]

Just woke up after going to bed at 4am. So the missing Brown student isn't even involved? That's a relief. I was feeling awful for his family. Can you imagine how awful the last night must have been for them.

 

[Batman]

So there are 3 suspects? Wat?

I heard there may be 4 or 5.

 

[dpatel304]

Wow, can't believe this is still going on. Stayed up until about 5am CST. It's now 9am CST.

 

[PhiLonius]

Jeez. Just woke up. WTF is going on this week.

 

[JohnTinker]

NBC reporting that law enforcement are looking for two accomplices. One in the Boston area and one believed to be on a train to Connecticut.

THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE WHOLE CITY WAS SHUTDOWN
