I imagine the boat will be taken by the police so they can get DNA from it, or just as evidence.

Nipsey autocorrect on iPhone is biodegradable. I was going to say something else but that seemed like the bigger story.

You gotta watch the whole ceremony before to really get the full effect. Such a wide range of emotions. Perfect way to cap it off.

The two men arrested last night in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings drive a car with the licence plate that reads: ‘Terrorista #1’
The students, named be neighbours by their first names Azmat and Diaz, drive a black BMW 330XI with the personalised plate and a sticker on the back which reads: ‘F*** you, you f****** f****’.
They are thought to be from Kazakhstan and had not been seen since the bombings until last night when their ground floor apartment in New Bedford, MA, was raided by a dozen FBI agents at gunpoint.
One of their girlfriends was also arrested. All three are in their late teens or early 20s.
Their apartment was raised because police say the younger Boston Marathon bombing suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, may have lived at their address.
MailOnline has discovered another link - Dzhokhar Tweeted pictures of the car on his Twitter account J_tsar.
In one picture the BMW is next to another dark coloured sports car with the caption: ‘Place your bets’ as if they are about to race.
In another a group of boys stand by both vehicles and a youth can be seen making a gesture that looks like a gun towards the camera.
The three arrests took place at the Hidden Brook housing complex in New Bedford.
A neighbour claimed that the men had said the BMW was stolen or that they claimed they had rented it and were not paying the rental fee.
Inside the car was a receipt from a Ralph Lauren store, a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, a receipt from a shipping company, a prescription, lots of crushed water bottles and a number of parking tickets.
The neighbour told MailOnline that Azmat and Diaz were ‘nice boys’ who were light skinned, thin and short.
She said that they were students at the University of Massachusetts and had been living in the apartment for around a year.
She said: ‘They used to have parties until three or four in the morning. There would be drinking and dancing and the police would come. I didn’t mind but they stayed up til late every now and then’.
The neighbour said that when the the police raided the apartment there were armed officers on the tennis court out the back on a tennis court lying down with their guns pointed towards the apartment.
The FBI later brought a U-Haul truck to the rear of the apartment but did not take anything away.
The neighbour said that when the boys were led out she heard ‘scuffles’ and that they were led away with their hands in zip ties.
The neighbour said ‘I’ve not spoken to them since the bombings. They have thick accents so I find it hard to understand them anyway.
‘They went away for a couple of weeks a few months ago but they did not say where. I don’t know if they went back to Kazakhstan
Two Russian speaking men in their early 20s later arrived at the apartment and told reporters they were journalists from the Boston Globe.
They then entered the apartment through an unlocked patio door. When asked what they were doing they said: ‘We are friends of theirs. They are talking, they are talking’ and closed the door.
When MailOnline rang the City desk of the Boston Globe, a man said: ‘We’re very busy right now. Consider us informed’.

I would hope that authorities would reevaluate any action that results in meeting few, if any actual objectives. Exactly how many lives were really protected by this action? How many were put in greater danger?Guster said:
That being said the fact that it didn't work directly to corner the dangerous suspect doesn't mean that it wasn't actually worth the cost. Seems to me that the people of the area are pointing to lots of indirect benefits.
But whether or not it was the right decision and should be repeated or even become policy in the future should be an open question for a while.

I bet several scriptwriters are adapting scanners and reddit feeds into their stories and we'll see it plenty on TV next fall and in movies next year. We'll be sick of it soon enough.

For you and me maybe. Stadium is a family venue and tons of people on TV. Not the most classy thing in the world. I think of what a guy like Carl Yastzremski would have done in a spot like that. But the stiffs down at the bar loved it.

Isn't the entire "enemy combatant" discussion misplaced at this point though? This case is simply a question of using the "public safety" exception to question him on certain urgent issues before giving him the Miranda, right? What is the downside in that? I think the worst case scenario is that some of the statements he makes pre-Miranda might be inadmissible in a criminal trial, but even that is not certain based on some recent caselaw. I expect they've already got more than enough evidence for a conviction even if he doesn't confess, and all they have to do is avoid that line of questioning until they're finished with the urgent/safety lines of questioning and have given the Miranda. He's got his 5th amendment rights regardless. This seems like a media hype issue to me more than anything.
We had some great discussion of the enemy combatant issue back in the day. There was Jose Padilla and a couple other cases which set some precedent over 10 years ago, all of which I think is still good law. Yankee23 is a walking encyclopedia on the issue. But I think its completely irrelevant to the current situation, at least at this time.

So the brother who is still alive and not dead, he is going to be treated as an enemy combatant? Anyone think this is a good idea or bad idea? He basically would not be given a court appointed attorney, basically would be treated as some of those Gitmo folks...I'm not sure how I feel about that but would be interested in what others are thinking. I guess on one hand you have to cover your ### and make sure he isn't part of a larger network or knows things about other future possibilities but there also seems like this is amateurs on a certain level. The bomber went back to school like as if it didn't happen, as if he thought he was going to get away with it.
Also just have to say what an amazing resilience the city of Boston showed and the speed with which the local police and law enforcement were able to move in and apprehend these two quickly was outstanding. I think you gotta give the city an A+ and then some in the response, spirit, and bravery of the citizens and law enforcement. I doubt the city of Miami would be respond that well.

Yes, but Obama will not do it. It really makes little sense in this case. The guy was captured here and it is a slam dunk conviction with all the evidence. Guys captured on the battle field or that rely on intelligence which would not be admissible in court, and that make it difficult to convict some of these combatants that are held in Gitmo.

10 years ago I worked in Law Enforcement software....and I met with the newly appointed Homeland Security Chief of a state. We discussed the current state of the data sharing between the city, county, and state LE agencies....and the technical capabilities that were available to allow more of it.
At the end of the meeting, he thanked me for the info and said the first priority for him was to spend his new federal funding on hazmat suits and other equipment of that type to prepare them more for nuclear facility attacks or similar.
It was a typical small-picture reactive mindset I'm sure is common in many levels of the DHS. I can't help but think of that when hearing about the government being warned about the older brother.

Czechs: we're not Chechens
PRAGUE (AP) — A number of comments by Americans on social media mistaking the Czech Republic for the country of origin of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects— ethnic Chechen brothers — prompted the Czech ambassador to the United States to act.
In a statement posted on the embassy Web site, Petr Gandalovic said "the Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities — the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation."
Gandalovic calls it "a most unfortunate misunderstanding," but some responses on Twitter are less diplomatic.
Mirca Sekerova recommends Americans "open a geography book once in a while...stop blaming our country for this."
And Petr Manda commented: "Well done, U.S. education system."
