Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

Am I? Or am I expecting people to think about the consequences for their actions?

The police and media rely on the public as an invaluable source; if misinformation is being spread by the public then they are in part responsible when it is reported and becomes pseudo-fact. This isn't either/or. Everyone fucked up here. I'm not willing to absolve Reddit, analysts or the media for their irresponsibility in this case because they've all behaved shamefully.

People have the right to discuss current news topics on a public internet forum and say whatever they want. That is in no way shameful. What is shameful is anyone taking anything concerning this investigation posted there seriously.
 
Not all criminals are crazy or "different." I hate that generalization. It makes it too easy to hate people who are different.

I'm not generalizing. It's pretty clear something went wrong in this kid's head. Nothing about this is logical. Not the individual, not the target, not his activity on social media. Unless he was somehow coerced into this, dude is wacky.
 
/tinfoil hat on

You know this is a perfect diversion for letting the real masterminds behind the whole issue slip away by becoming one of the victims of the whole incident with being shut up in the city during the lockdown.

While the 2 "martyrs" are sent out to be the decoys. Once caught / killed and the lock down lifted the real perps slip out along with everyone else who wanted to get out of the city before the lockdown took effect.

Sure its tinfoil hat, but a plan like that makes sense. Esp with the part bout the 2 being quite young, which generally is the case for "throwaway" type of pieces often used by fanatical groups.

Then comes in the part about how the younger of the 2 seems to be still hiding which means that perhaps hes not as committed to the cause as the older suspect was. So potentially if he is caught and information processed some more light could be shed on what really is going on.

Another possibility with why the older suspect offed himself would be the fact he was the one with the useful information. Therefore his "sacrifice" was necessary to protect the cause. And knowing the younger suspect who doesnt know anything vital would serve more as a decoy to buy time once he died.

FUCKING USTREAM

Commercials for Jonas Brothers just scared the shit out of me.

On my ustream I got the ad for the draino clog remover that has so much sexual innuendo that even I want to puke (and it takes a lot for me). The one where there is a woman in a grocery store daydreaming, looking at a guy holding melons, then one slicing meat. Aimed at the lowest possible common denominator, inferring major dp, hung stud st8 fuckin'.

I got it twice, back to back, repeat style. In a row. 2 different times. :(

Other than that this ustream scanner has been fantastic.
 
Lol that Alex Jones isn't even covering what happened last night/right now and is saying that the MSM are blaming SEALS and HOW DARE THEY when he spent the last two days blaming SEALS himself. Amazing.

Ha, last night and today sure as hell put the final nail in the fucking garbage he has been spewing.
 
The real questions is if MThanded is still awake?

Psh, he went to sleep, but I've been up the whole time. I have the ass burn and mild hallucinations to prove it!

Think I'm close to giving up now, though. Going by the scanner it doesn't seem like they're really onto anything major.
 
Has anything new happened in the last couple of hours? I've been at work and haven't been able to keep up.

Is there a good source for recaps?
 
I'm looking at that guy's tweets. What an....absolutely normal 20 year old kid? Guy likes game of thrones and has lot of friends. Its incredible how he resisted the urge to tease anything for being so young.

This is what puzzless me. The guy appered to be a normal kid with a normal life and friends. Cars, girls, studies, a mac, you know.

Like a normal guy I see everyday. Then seeing him in the video with the supposed bombs in the bags, then hearing about his crazy nigth, shootout, killing the MIT guy...


My head is unable to wrap around it, like I can't comprehend or situate him in there. Im willing to believe his brother was the crazy one and just turned this guy head around or something. If not, my faith on hummanity is lost because any of you guys can be a potential cold killer like this guys...ugh.

They really should have a way to disable ads for serious streams.

Does the guy streaming make money from this?
Or is it 100% USTREAM?

YES, but when shit goes off it's going to go off.

People have right to discuss things, sure. They also have the right to look at pictures of people they've never met then start scouring the internet in an effort to identify those people, and I have the right to call them irresponsible bottom-feeding scum-sucking pieces of shit for doing so.

I'm not sure you understand how the internet works. Something posted on Reddit may not still just be on Reddit when someone sees it, so the context that it's just random speculation from a public internet forum is totally lost. They are culpable.

I'm still awake too. Been following since the start last night. Really going to need to get some sleep eventually, but I don't wanna miss anything big.

I made it 27 hours then I took a nap. I had too man.
 
I dunno man. Reading those tweets and hearing his friends describe him, I'm starting to wonder if this kid was dragged into something he didn't want to be apart of.

Alas, he did the deed.
 
SPECULATIVE INFORMATION IN ALL CAPS, BOLD AND MOTHERFUCKING ITALIC SO YOU'LL READ IT - NO SOURCE

don't make me use the red font
