Support NeoGAF

[B!TCH]

the Irony of people calling this kid a muslim smh

What's so ironic about it? You expect him to be wearing a turban, thawb and rocking a beard? Muslims are just regular people like anyone else.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Do we really need those annoying 'omg i just woke up what happenz' posts every 5 posts? It's already confusing enough to compile whats going on with all the different sources, twitters, reddit bs, various medias and scanners to figure out whats really going on; and having some clown asking for a personal recap every 10 seconds is annoying as FUCK.

Same thing with the guys not getting over some girls' bust in the last page. I even saw some puns

But I thought neogaf was the best place for news on the web. haaaaaaaaa

 

[Ydahs]

So I predict that the working conspiracy theory is going to be that this is a frame up. Some innocent sort of Muslim dudes who get shot at and have stuff planted on them.

Your prediction is already a reality unfortunately.

Holy shit at the end. An automatic?

So Chechen is the official language in both republics (?) and because of the proximity it's a desirable destination for refugees from Chechnya? I'm skimming Wikipedia and sipping coffee.

There are strong cultural and religious links between the two places. Dagestan isn't an ethnicity in the way that Chechen is.

Jesus Christ. This is quite scary / insane.

Lack of traffic makes it look like North Korea.

Yeah, just add some old bicycles, pedestrians and one lonely car.

I'm in Lowell, MA; we were just told to go home.

Man I live in lowell, and have class today. I'm not sure if I should go to class.

One of the bad guys from Iron Man 1.

I was going to say one of the dudes from Rambo III

I know amateur moderation is forbidden but this is just ANNOYING

You're angry at people for expressing their shock?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Imam Shamil.

Then we can find out who this guy is:

[GavinGT]

For real? Some motherfuckers blew up a marathon and you're thinking, wow what a wonderful opportunity for the world to learn more about Shamil!

Shamazal!

 

[kingocfs]

Fuel for the conspiracy nuts. I'm hoping the police load their weapons with tranquilizers

It won't matter. Alex Jones still thinks the OKC bomber was on mind control drugs.

MIND CONTROL DRUGS.

 

[Acorn]

Police are armed with non lethals, they want this guy alive.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Seriously. Wtf how has he not been caught.

It's hard to catch up without a recap, just skim over those post's it's really not hard. Or maybe you haven't noticed the length of the thread, and how spread out those recap posts are?

"UMass Dartmouth has learned that a person being sought in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing has been identified as a student registered at UMass Dartmouth."

If he's a radical Muslim, expect most conspiracy nuts to backpedal that shit. They only thought it was a false flag attack when there was a possibility of it being a Tea Partier.

Why even chance it man. Stay home and safe for a day.

With all the horribleness going on in Boston, a few lighthearted posts complimenting a girl's body is harmless.

Also, calm down.

 

[jacket320]

Went to bed with 7/11 being robbed with the shooter at MIT.

Woke up to this.


WTF?!

The exact same as me. This blows me away.

He dated Snooki? Well that explains a lot.

Something about Harvard and a duffel bag and the guy took off... anyone catch it?

 

[Muddimar]

So can someone explain how the second suspect got away? I mean, he was in a firefight with a bunch of police, did they just let him run/drive away? How were they not able to pursue him?

 

[BioHazard]

I head: some guy dropped a duffel bag near "Save the harbor, save the park" and ran away?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

There's a YouTube video from the older brothers account that references Islam, according to MSNBC.

not going to get into it but muslims know you don't date in Islam period

 

[picklecannon]

More people dropping off bags around the city? Wtf?

What are you hot on the trail of this guy or something? Calm the fuck down, it's a discussion board.

I saw it. It specifically referenced Islam and terrorism.

Come on...even if unintentional, think before you press Submit.

Jesus, what a grouch. This is a forum, that's what people do.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Ok guys lets not be lazy. I woke up and the thread had progressed 109. Pages.

Just skip 5 pages at a time. It's not that hard. You'll find everything you need.

 

[Karl2177]

The suspect that died might have a 2 year old child according to channel 5.

Yeah I heard that too. They just said what you posted. They're looking for him. But nothing else was stated.

Shamazal!

DAMN

Today is the day to NOT:

1. wear a hoodie.
2. drop a bag anywhere.

He created a playlist called "Terrorists" and liked Jihad videos

Thanks much.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

Scanner + GAF, then (last night) as now, is BY FAR the best source of information on this.

By far.

Someone dropped a duffel bag and bolted.

Box truck carrying tables and chairs driving around the blocked-off area.

Mundane? Maybe a little. Riveting? God damnit yes.

God bless those who are front line fighters in this. Cops, EMT's, and their supporting staff.

Also thanks to the people putting up the scanner links and TV links. Absolutely amazing to get this level of live coverage.

Thank you.

Some mother***** blew up half of that country and much of America is now thinking 'wait, what, where?'

Haha I heard Harvard.... BOSSton accent... Go figure.

 

[Violater]

Where is the infrared scanner to see if anyone is actually in there?

 

[Arsenic Yellow]

Have local news been saying that the suspects are Chechen? Just started listening in and they keep saying "Russian". :/

 

[ActStriker]

WBZ confirmed that the CRV was registered to the other brother; probably where that lead came from

 

[Pandemic]

This video which is supposedly one of the terrorists has gotten a lot of attention,
