Police are gathering near the Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

lol

 

[teruterubozu]

"Negotiating" with somebody on "the deck".

 

[McNei1y]

Heading to a ballgame in a few hours. :/

It's the Royals. It's probably not worth it!

 

[Kinyou]

If this old dude didn't have shit then the false information is getting absurd.

It's the police scanner. Of course will there be lots of false information

 

[lil smoke]

If this old dude didn't have shit then the false information is getting absurd.

Yes. I kinda wish we would wait 5 minutes before posting the BIG news.

 

[andycapps]

guy being interview on the BBC about the bombing, should have put his pink dildo away

Please tell me someone got a screenshot of this.

Crazy news going on now with the old man.

 

[Kifimbo]

There is a reason journalist don't trust scanner chatter to report news. It's 90% not reliable.

 

[Artemisia]

Spoiler

what's a dead man's switch

 

[jred2k]

This is really showing how outdated and useless cable news is. Someone should start a channel thats just random live feed HD video with police scanner audio of the area overlayed. Maybe a twitter feed in the corner.

 

[OttomanScribe]

So what has the news been reporting the past two hours? Seems like no developments but a lot of crazy shit happened that could or could not be related.

[phosphor112]

The white hat guy's dad has spoken. Tells son to come home to Russia (lol) and that if he dies "all hell will break loose." That sounds like a bit of a threat to me.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/boston-bom...surrender-hell/story?id=18995936#.UXFYe6Ksh8F

ABC just gave quotes that contradict (or at least sound less rash than) this.

He didn't think his boys did it. He wants his boy to come home and they didn't use that "all hell will break loose" quote. I don't know.

 

[Resilient]

This is fucked up. I commend the police force for their efforts so far, but damn. Just why. So crazy, so sad...please stay safe Boston people.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Police are gathering near the Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

How is this news?

(sorry)

 

[TommyT]

Oh god, lol.

On the same page.

I've been following this since 9pm EST, step away for 2 hours and I've completely lost the thread.

This surely can't be the remaining one of the brothers, then, as they lived in the US for two years, right?

TV reported that the two brothers have been in the United States for 8 years.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Trains commonly use dead man's switches, so they won't run without engineers/motormen behind the controls (this probably has nothing to do with a train unless Superman is involved).

Yep, drivers usually have to lift their foot then place it back on the plate every x amount of minutes, otherwise it shuts down the train.

 

[Talents]

So where is the guy now? Do we even know?

 

[LyleLanley]

Heading to a ballgame in a few hours. :/

Unless this gets resolved very soon I can't see the Sox game actually being played tonight.

 

[jbug617]

Did suspect #2 leave the area via car?

 

[maquiladora]

Scanner : State police negotiating with a "body on the deck" at School/Arsenal.

 

[Kibbles]

Just woke up it's 19yo kid not Shahil? Nice going internet.

 

[Skab]

Did suspect #2 leave the area via car?

No one knows.

 

[LiK]

So where is the guy now? Do we even know?

Still hunting him in Watertown.

 

[OttomanScribe]

Its 1 am and I have to get up at 4... damned if I'll sleep though.

 

[Sanjuro]

I would love for that game to take place but I'm really doubting it at this point.

at this rate, they're gonna cancel that it, bro

I wouldn't count on it.

It's the Royals. It's probably not worth it!

Haters going to hate.

I have no idea. My brain stopped processing around 4AM when I passed out watching this saga.

 

[statham]

How is this news?

(sorry)

LOLOLO

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Now they're talking about a "suspicious guy on a laptop" in some apartment.

I've got a feeling some gaffer or redditor is about to get taken out lol

 

[Burger]

Where did all the thick people come from?

Like dead mans switches are only made in caves in Afghanistan. Fucking jesus.

 

[Byakuya769]

I hope you all are actually posting stuff from the scanner and not from twitter assholes saying they heard something on the scanner (lying).

 

[turnbuckle]

Heading to a ballgame in a few hours. :/

I'm not completely sure you're gonna get to see that game today

 

[Übermatik]

How is this news?

(sorry)

Wow haha

 

[Magnus]

I don't understand why a Dead Man's Switch is a high end piece of equipment? Seems like something relatively simple to engineer, especially compared to the other equipment terrorists work with?

I honestly don't know what I'm talking about though, lol, so ignore me.

 

[Joel Was Right]

An utterly incredible chat there. Within 20 seconds of clicking the link:

"It's happening! Kill those muslims!!"

"Why aren't nergroes ever terrorists?"

smh at people, man.

There are some blood thirsty people in this world

 

[marrec]

Can anyone confirm if this is real or fake? I have no clue, probably a fake?

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...28472.79466.309165199105325&type=1&permPage=1

I don't really use facebook, so I have no idea if it's easy to fake profile pics or names on it.

It's fake.

 

[Hawkian]

A dildo prop happens to work just like a normal dildo.

I was going to say.

 

[triplestation]

Just woke up

Seems the search continues

Anything big update?

 

[sunnz]

This is so crazy, hopefully no more deaths ( as in cops)

 

[Coldsnap]

How is this news?

(sorry)

BAM

Completely agree.

 

[anddo0]

Please stop quoting that pic :/

Shocked so many people don't know what a dead man's switch is.

[fawaz]

am i going deaf or did this guy tackle a 60 year old man on the police radio

 

[Smash88]

It's fake.

Alright thanks.

 

[B!TCH]

So where is the guy now? Do we even know?

Probably found a good hiding spot (like a dumpster) and is laying low. There's no way he is still on the move assuming he is still in the area.

This was the DA statement and press conference earlier, may be off since I just jotted it down, but is generally what I heard across those sources:

Quote:
-something at MIT (Building 32? led to shooting of MIT cop (died))
-carjacking in cambridge, kept hostage for 30 minutes
-robbery attempt at 7-11
-another carjacking at some point (?)
-car chase (?), grenades thrown out, explosives maybe of some sort
-shootout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqo1Ad6spkY
-suspect #1 (black cap) dead
-suspect #2 (white cap) still on the loose


Also note that the first suspect was run over as #2 tried to escape. According to news sources now.

Stray bullets from earlier firefight:

The bullet actually went through his chair.

Uhhh have you looked around lately? This country is full of iidiots

 

[Wag]

Heading to a ballgame in a few hours. :/

I would imagine if this doesn't end soon the ballgame might get cancelled.

 

[Talents]

Still hunting him in Watertown.

So they don't have an exact location? I thought a few hours ago he was behind a fence or something.

 

[Vestal]

Please stop quoting that pic :/

Shocked so many people don't know what a dead man's switch is.

Guess not many have watched the movie Speed...
