Bombs went off in Boston

I'm not sure what's more depressing, all the talk about this as a false flag or all the jokes about how this second suspect must have a five- or six-star rating on Grant Theft Auto (lol).

 

Sounds more and more like this guy might not be connected, but they are checking him out just because he looked suspicious. They have two bomb robots checking him out now. If that's true, I bet he's filled his pants by now.

I feel bad for the uncle and his family.

 

and sister...

Boston Marathon Bombing suspects' sister speaks to reporters from New Jersey home

what you do isn't just isolated to you. No matter how much you think you are a lone person there is someone out there connected to you.

 

Even with things like this event happening on rare occasion, we are so sheltered in the US.

 

The police have surrounded someone hiding in or under a boat (sounds like in someone's yard) in the general area they think the suspect holed up in.


They gave out the address on the police scanner:
67 Franklin St in Watertown, MA.

Go to Google Maps and look at the house in satellite view. There is a boat trailer in the back yard. Incredible what you can do in seconds with modern technology.

 

Maybe he has Internet too

 

Audio feed:


MA Rt. 9 Window Cam on USTREAM: A live look outside my window. Other 24/7



They fired 20-30 shots a few minutes ago. Now they are saying he's wounded but moving. They are preparing to move in.

 

I've had it going in the background off and on all day. It is consistently 20-40 minutes ahead of the major news networks.

 

A few minutes ago the newscasters on the scene were going crazy about a batch of "shots" going off all of a sudden. If they had an intern listening to the police scanner they would've known far ahead of time that they were about to flashbang the boat and would've known it was the flashbangs they heard, not shots.

I think they pulled the main traffic off of that channel. The feed just drastically changed and dropped all direct conversation of the suspect or the plans of surrounding him. Previously they were very detailed on who was where, what they were about to do, etc. Maybe 20 minutes ago they said they found out this feed was being broadcast on the internet (peak number of people listening earlier was over 1M), within 5 minutes it sounds like they changed channels for the main assault/capture.

 

That was because someone kept holding the button down on their mic. They've been complaining and calling out guys for that all day. But a few mins before that last open mic issue someone specifically said something about the feed being broadcast online.


Though now they are warning the perimeter guys to hold back again, so maybe they are about to do something.

Also talk of a suspicious bag at 17 Broadway. So maybe we're still getting some periphery stuff.

17 Broadway is only 2-3 blocks from where he's hiding in the boat at 67 Franklin.

In custody and alive!

 

Yeah, they said he's alive but hurt. But they thought he was hurt already because there was blood by or on the boat and on his clothes a long time ago.

 

I will say that it is sadly funny that some people are now saying that these guys "aren't really white".

White = Caucasian in almost any reasonable person's definition.

Chechnya is kind of RIGHT IN the Caucasus Mountains. You know, the area that white people were named after.
