Anyone suspicious that the government might be DDoS'ing Reddit to stop people reporting from the scanners?

For those looking to make a donation please do so to Boston Children's Hospital.

Boston Children’s Hospital continues to aid in the recovery following the explosions and care for those who were injured in the attack. You can support the hospital’s efforts with a donation to the Marathon Program, which supports the hospital's areas of greatest need, or our Emergency and Trauma fund, which helps kids and families get the emergency treatment they need when faced with tragedy.

I want to donate but get scared every time something this big happens and they ask for CC info. Is this a legit site to donate to?

I'm guessing there is no way White Hat will be taken alive.

The only reason I would want him taken alive is to torture the #### out of him. Since there is zero chance of that, kill the mother####er dead. #### him.

I want him fully interrogated to find out as much as possible from him.

Yeah, if it can happen with these 2, there could be more.

Oh bull####. That's is EXACTLY what he wants. LOOKATME! LOOKATME! I'M SO SMART AND IMPORTATANT!!! #### HIM. These guys are/were careless ####### amateurs. I promise we can find out everything we want on why.

If this old guy turns out to be involved with the two from the marathon, then this thing could be a cell, larger than the two careless amateurs.

He was just out for a stroll to pick up some Metamucil when suddenly he learned the downside of never turning the TV on.

 

[Apple Jack]

Who is the guy with the bomb on him???

Suspected bomb.

And we don't know who he is.

Now hearing the guy does not have a bomb on him. Sounds like this might have went out on the scanner because the police were being cautious and the internets just ran with it. Apparently was just some unaware old man out for a stroll.

Shocking to hear that was inaccurate.

 

[Statorama]

Can you anti-tea party guys give it a break? I've held my tongue regarding Obama's association with Bill Ayers during this whole ordeal. Show some respect for the victims.

Not the place for you to swoop in with shtick. You Jon and tpw just go start your own thread to complain.

I was specifically pointing out that this was NOT a place for those kinds of shennanigans.

Side note: Savanah Guthrie on NBC reporting that officials are linking the suspects to a radical Islamic Jihad group (not a joke)

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Boston Globe reporting that white hat suspect ditched the car and fled on foot.

Been 8-9 hours since the big shootout. Can't believe the dude has eluded capture this long.

Or maybe somebody from Anonymous disgusted by what's been going on there.

 

[lod01]

Huge if they are able to take him alive.

If they do, I hope they get a few hard punches to his face before the cameras arrive.

 shocking... sounds like a sleeper cell has woke up.. how many others around the country are planning something?

Not if, as has been suspected, he had a "safe house" somewhere in the area where the shootout happened.. They put a perimeter up, but he could have easily ran through dark neighborhoods to the safe house.

All speculation right now..

And the live report just stated that the older brother threw an explosive device at the Police and that is when he was shot down.

Yeah, I don't even think it'd be worth trying to take him alive. Just put a bullet in this dude's dome before he has a chance to kill anyone else.

 

[Apple Jack]

Keep mistaking "POLICE W/GUNS" for "POLICE WIGGUMS" on CNN.

Saw earlier report this morning that Watertown is a heavily Chechnian populated area

 

[NCCommish]

So the uncle is saying they were born and raised in Kyrgyzstan not Chechnya. Kyrgyzstan is a Muslim country with about 80% of the population practicing Islam.

Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two suspects in the Boston bombings, spoke to CNN on Friday morning. He said the brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhara Tsarnaev grew up in Kyrgyzstan and have been in the U.S. for about 7 or 8 years. He said he was told by his sister-in-law in the morning that Tamerlan was shot and killed.

I saw a report on twitter awhile ago that said that is where their passports are from. I never heard of Krygystan.

 

[William Munny]

Can't believe they were that hot for 7-11. How stupid...

 

[Doubtingthomas]

So if you are sitting in your house in Boston would you rather have 10 or 30 bullets in your gun?

Seriously?

It's a fair point

No, it's really not It's an embarrassingly facile attempt to shoehorn an American tragedy into his narrow worldview

Snarky? Yeah probably. But this is a gigantic example of littler events that happen every day and at the crux of the 2nd amendment debate. This not the place for the discussion fine whatever, thread already gone off the rails a couple of times but whatever.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Dzhorkhar Tsarnaev, 19, the Boston Marathon attack suspect now at large, came to the United States as a tourist in the early 2000s and asked for asylum while he was here, a federal source said. He was naturalized last year. Tamerlan, the 26-year-old brother who was killed overnight, came "a few years later" and was a green-card holder, not a naturalized citizen, the source said, according to CNN's Mike Ahlers.

And watch the anti-immigrant crowd raise their voices right on cue.

Seriously?

:applause:

I don't think it's quite the same, but what I wrote was bad enough. Apologize for distracting from the main issues and wont do it again.

Of course it isn't the same, Tim. You're on the side of the argument you brought up and against the side of the argument you complained about.

Obviously we want him stopped before he hurts anyone else, but he needs to be interrogated if possible.

It's next to Krakozhia

 

[scottybo]

Suspect has some type of device or switch in his hand, according to scanner.

 

[snogger]

Cops around a car in Cambridge..Tow truck guy has been trying to get into the car for a few minutes now.. If I'm the cops I walk over, break the window and get along with whatever they are doing with the car.

Yeah, sounded like they were still using an EOD robot with him.

 

[Doug B]

Here's are some documentaries on the type of people we're dealing with here: Beslan: Three Days in September, Children of Beslan, and Children of Beslan: 5 Years On.

The Beslan monsters share an ethnicity with the Tsarnaev brothers, which doesn't establish anything. Beyond that, not much is known.

However: if reports that one or both of the brothers visited Chechnya and "came back different" ... then maybe the worst of the Chechen terrorist types got to the brothers and influenced them somehow. From what I know, the known Chechen terrorists don't care about any human life even a little bit.

what does this mean? trying to get caught up on all of this.

Very mountainous country with a relatively small population. Be easy to miss.

Police dog now searching the car.

Wrapping up the Behrooz Araz storyline perhaps?

At this point, hard to think that Dzhorkhar is just a regular ol' Americanized 19-year-old. Odds he had training of some type somewhere?

Reporter just said " this could just be an illegally parked car.. Kind of a bad spot and day for that"

Kyrgystan makes a lot more sense, especially if he then went for training in Chechnya.

I think the 7-11 was the location of a car-jacking....it is not clear that they actually robbed it.

this is all wrong. maybe instead of worrying about tea party comments made on page 4 you should follow the story?

Where are you watching?

 

[Henry Ford]

And by subject, do you mean the 60-70 year old guy who's either an old man out for a walk or the head of a major terrorist sleeper cell?

That would be nice. I'm just saying it doesn't sound like the payoff is worth risk with a guy like this.

police scanner. Link has been given out many times...

Seriously. Every major media site you can think of has a timeline. It's weird that people think this thread is the best way to catch up.

The thread is awesome, but that's because there's lots of us watching lots of different networks and other outlets and we can post what they say in real time. If you want to know about stuff that happened more than 5 minutes ago, look elsewhere.

Ask who to do what? Short of closing down the whole site (yeah right), they have no mechanism for complying with the request.
