Sgt. Dolan?

I have a sense we are going to learn about problems with this whole investigation. At the very least there is going to be a lot to learn from this.
 
These guys didn't want to escape. They wanted to cause as much damage as possible in Boston and die "martyrs" most likely. They could have escaped easily with a 3 day head start, but they didn't. They were prepared to die.
 
Isnt the plan to stop the vehicle being severly compromised by openly talking about it on the scanner? Ffs he could be listening in
 
Heading up to New Hampshire from Rhode Island now.... Hoping to just for straight through the tunnel under Boston quick and get out of there
 
Exactly. But why is that even relevant at this point? There hasn't been any information out there that states they're Muslim extremists.

I guess because Chechnya has a large Muslim demographic and has rebels in it???
Uh . . . there is some information . .

Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout earlier today, appears to have been sympathetic to Islamist radicalism. Five months ago he appears to have created a channel on YouTube called “Terrorists.” The channel features videos from the one of the leaders of the insurgency in Dagestan who goes by the name Amir Abu Dudzhan. YouTube appears to have removed two of the videos but in a third features Dudzhan calling for jihad. Holding a Kalashnikov rifle, he says, “Jihad is the duty of every able-bodied Muslim.” Among the other videos on his channel is one of Timur Mutsuraev, the bard of the Chechen resistance in the 1990s; it features his song, “We will devote our lives to jihad.”

I was asking a fair question imho. I'm not saying that the BPD/FBI/Whoever are doing a bad job, I have no idea , it's just crazy to an outsider reading all this, watching the feeds and trying to comprehend how such an amount of law enforcement can be given such a run around by a 19 year old.

Just ignore him. He's always been an inflammatory dick.
 
So, I wonder, has this suspect had any time to get any sleep? I can't imagine he would want to stay in any location very long, but he must've had time this morning to squeeze off a few naps.

I assume the cops have been rotating their shifts also, can't have them going on 18 hours in action.
 
What is autogafs take on all this?

Also, kid? Its a grown ass man.

Is it odd that I don't consider 19 to be "grown as man" status? I know it's legally an adult. I know he can go to war and such, but at 32, I can safely say I wasn't a grown as man at 19 like I thought I was.

If he wasn't already shot in the morning shootout and isn't bleeding out somewhere

That is true. And even when they are hardcore Muslims it wouldn't automatically mean that their motives were religious. Don't like it when the news media is just speculating.

I think if he were moving around they would've found him by now
 
Who's the tool with the moustache on CNN who keeps insisting that the guy on the run is a religiously motivated martyr who wants to go out in a blaze of glory? Sjeez
 
Ridiculous of CNN to call "BREAKING NEWS" everytime they're back from break... It screams of desperation to keep their viewers watching.

There's actually a media term for what they're doing and I believe it's about the idea that new people are just turning on their televisions so they want to rehash things around every 15 minutes for something major like this.

They really don't care anymore about the people like you who have been glued to their station for the past 24 hours. They already have you.

It's directly because they don't know just what kind of arsenal the suspect may have. Law enforcement knows that their lives are at risk but their job is not to risk their lives needlessly. They need to do things slowly and safely. This means a steady systematic approach to apprehension.

Having just the local PD persue him recklessly with small arms could get more people killed if he's armed with anything greater than small arms himself. Since there have been explosive devices used already (whether they be IED's or Grenades as neither has been confirmed) means that they need to escalate their response as well.
