News reporting 2 explosions at Boston Marathon

[mosholu]

Maybe the plan was for them to hang out and take the heat, possibly plant more bombs, giving the brains of the operation time to leave town. The fact that they decided to explode their devices at the four hour mark shows someone had some operational thinking, sick as it might have been. Add to that the suicide vest the older one had I am not convinced yet that it was just two yahoos.

Gotta love technology. Also note the position of ladder changes.

stick people will still win marathon

bags carried anywhere near it will be scrutinized
way beyond the ordinary now...

everyone required to bring camera's and take pictures

I think the robot knocked over the ladder pealing back the tarp/shrink wrap. Technology also tracked the carjacked Benz since the owner has left his cell phone in the car.

In the end it was some guy curious as to why there was blood on his boat that found him though.

Sounded like they found blood at one or more spots behind a house(s). Kind of curious why they could not track him down from there, but none of the pics I saw from the neighborhood sweeps showed any dogs that I saw and remembered.

yep, I was wondering myself why dogs were not used, they should have been able to track him right to the boat you would think

anyway, glad they got him

Oh, I think they probably knew where the guy was, and what he was hiding in, long before they moved in, and maybe was why they called off the city-wide lock down. If you think about it, it made sense for them to make their move after dark, when their night vision gear, and the big spotlights on their choppers, gave them a huge edge. Always makes it easier when you can see, and the bad guy can't.

Now, one last word. My religious beliefs are centered on forgiveness, and love for one another. I'm not supposed to hate. In the days ahead, you'll be hearing people trying to mitigate things for this kid. How he was influenced by his evil big brother, how he's only 19, and how he is one of God's children, and so on. All well and good to forgive and pray for his soul, but in no way should anything about him be mitigated, let alone excused. I don't know if this picture has been posted here, but I have it saved to my hard drive, just in case down the road, I start to feel some twinge of sympathy. I may ask God to save his soul, but I'll also ask God to let justice prevail, and for him to feel the full weight of human justice.

Just to give some context. #^&#^&#^&#^&head is circled in his white cap. 8 year old Martin Richard is standing on the fence, flanked by who I assume are his mother on his left, and his sister on his right, all unaware that little Martin has but minutes to live, and they they will suffer horrendous injuries. I would guess that the girl a few places over on the right of the picture, with the strawberry blonde hair, sunglasses, red Nikes, and her hand to her mouth is 29 year old Krystle Campbell, minutes away from being blown apart. Note very carefully where that #^&#^&#^&#^&wad chose to place the bag containing the bomb. He could have placed it anywhere. If he truly was some decent kid being influenced by evil big brother to do something he was uneasy about, he could have placed it against the buildings and minimized the effects. He deliberately chose to place it among a group of kids and young girls.

#^&#^&#^&#^& him.

Judging before facts are in. Interesting.

It looks Ivory Pure that they are responsible for this act. The surviving brother will be tried and the government will make its case.

Should the 0.66% chance play out this might get revisited but so far this looks pretty damning.

What would YOU suggest?

[Saltheart]

I guess they just happen to have been there with those same backpacks? They just happen to have made the call the exact time they detonated? They just happened to have the same type of bombs on them during the first fire fight? They just happened to have all those arms and amo? Only an idiot would question whether they did it.

the facts are in...they did it. There will be no defense offered that they didn't do it. That would be stupid. All the defense will offer is reasons why he should not be held responsible for what he did.

[Saltheart]

I agree. Regardless of what led him to do it , he did it! It was a ruthless cowardly thing. I understand people target other persons for money , revenge , broken hearts , etc but I will never understand the random targeting of people they don't even know. They just want to kill anybody they can. Even the deadliest of animals do not do that , just deranged people.

[spence]

It would take a lot more faith to hold onto any chance of innocence considering the evidence to date. Unless you think this in an X Files level conspiracy the sequence of getting run over by your brother after a firefight wearing a bomb vest, admitting the crime to a hijack victim and you're both on camera at the crime scene is well...pretty much shut.

Maybe we should bring back the old use for the Boston Commons, when we are done with him, and put him in the stocks for some public humiliation and stoning.....We could bill it as "Heritage Days"

[Raven]

hey i'm growing my tomatoes as fast as i can TDF
so he might have to set there awhile

[stripermaineiac]

Sad part is they came here for safe haven yrs ago an now choose to disrespect that safe haven for religeous idiocy.Any arguement in their favor just proves we have forgotten that we're not the ones that went to their homes an killed their friends for christianity.It was wrong what was done.He has a price to pay and excuses don't bring the dead back to life and make the injured be able to walk an run again.I visited on yesterday that will never be able to run again the rest of her life cause of these dirtbags.She isn't all that forgiving about it.
