    "I Risk My Life For An Iphone Photo"

    "Guns vs Phones - Shoot First"

    "Hey Cop - Is This A Camera Phone or a Bomb Detonator - Choose Wisely"

    point being - if you really need a photo of a guy with an assault rifle who is looking for someone who has been shooting at his team and blowing up innocent people - you better have the stones to have an assault rifle pointed right at you.
    fact.

    it also means the person with the camera is one stupid bastard who is far from cool.

    The surveillance video collected by the FBI showed that for four minutes after he dropped the knapsack, the man in the white hat stood there, looking at and manipulating his cellphone. He appeared to make a call, and then 12 seconds later, the first bomb went off further down the street toward the finish line.

    As the crowd panicked, the suspect "appears calm," the complaint said. "He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west, away from the direction of the finish line. He walks away without his knapsack."

    Ten seconds later, the second blast went off.

    For as much planning they had to do to pull this off, they seemed ill-prepared with the notion that they might somehow be tracked down.

    Agreed. I wonder if they had help but were cut off once their faces were made public?
    I wonder about this too. Doesn't seem so far-fetched.

    I would have thought if they were part of some functional terrorist cell, they would have dropped the bags, left and immediately gone underground. No hanging about the bombing site waiting to see what happened, no going back into the 'community' and their normal lives and certainly no robbing a store and car jacking.

    When one looks at other supposedly Islamic fanatic (and therefore assuming al qaeda for most americans) attacks in the US or elsewhere, these are very organised people. Silly things like these two guys did are really not part of their 'repertoire'.

    Personally, I don't think they were well trained or anything. But then again, I may be proven wrong.

    I don't know - it just all seems very, very odd. And, whilst they are of Chechen origin, I don't believe in the 'Chechen connection'.

    I said BEAD not bullet. The bead is whats on the end of the barrel used for aiming. IE, point my gun at you, not shoot you. Point being, dont be a fucking idiot and take photos of the police from your window, or anywhere, during this situation. Especially considering the phone you are likely taking the photo with can be used as a detonation device.

    Good point. I'm fairly out of the loop (for lack of a better term) when it comes to these things...which I'm not sure is a positive or negative.

    Not that it makes a difference, but I'd read that the robbery was committed by someone else, coincidentally at the same time the two were there.

    Yeah, there's much more to come.

    I don't see anything wrong with people taking photos through their own window when there is what looks like a military column driving by their house. That seems like a totally normal thing to do IMO. So the guy turned toward them, and also happened to be holding a gun in military fashion - as far as I know, when they are in that mode, they point their gun wherever their eyes look. It doesn't mean he was thinking about shooting someone through their own window because they were taking a photo with their iphone. What's the fucking issue here?? Holy overreaction.

    Boston Bomb Suspect Eyed in Connection to 2011 Triple Murder

    In the wake of the revelations about the violent nature of accused marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, investigators in the Boston suburbs tell ABC News they are probing whether he may have been involved in an unsolved grisly triple homicide of a former roommate and two others. The murders took place around the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

    "We are looking at a possible connection with the suspect in the marathon atrocity and this active and open homicide in Waltham,'' Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County District Attorney, confirmed to ABC News.

    Tsarnaev, the alleged bombing mastermind who died in a fierce gun battle with police early Friday morning, had been training with one of the 2011 murder victims in an attempt to transition from boxing into a possible career in the brutal sport of mixed-martial arts.

    The victims were found in a Waltham, Massachusetts apartment. They had their throat slashed, their heads nearly decapitated. Their mutilated bodies were left covered with marijuana.

    hope all my boston peeps are doing ok

    i've been off the boards due to vacation

    this one was close to home for me - i grew up in boston, went to high school in watertown, have friends and family living in watertown, as well as working as cops... one girl i know was one of the first on the scene at the boat... my sister lives less than a block from where the boat was, my friends run a restaurant right near the shootout location

    what a mess... thoughts go out to the victims

    Just got this news bulletin:

    "RCMP say they have thwarted a terror attack targeting a VIA passenger train between Toronto and New York. Authorities say 2 suspects were under surveillance for a year before being arrested this morning. RCMP say Chiheb Esseghaler from Montreal and Raed Jaser from Toronto are facing charges."

    Glad they were caught sooner rather than later!

    My first thought was that they are saying this only because he had a murdered roommate. Could very well just be coincidence. I'l definitely wait and see with this one, rather than jumping to conclusions.

    In the last 15 minutes I've read stories about the triple murders, the toronto train bomb plot, the Chic-fil-a shooter and his plans to kill as many people and then smear the sandwiches on them, and 70+ girls getting poisened at school in Afghanistan.

    :(

    I think I shall go for a walk this evening ...

    I think a lot of people would find an issue with it, its stupid. They weren't driving by, they were camped out in front of the house. There is obviously a tense situation outside and directly across the street. Not an over reaction considering the comment that I was responding to.

    *shrug* I think it seems like a fairly normal thing to do. Sure it's a tense situation, but those people were looking at this tense situation all day long, and they're just sitting there watching it. Boredom alone seems like a good reason to snap a pic of what was the weirdest thing that ever happened in their neighborhood.
    (I wasn't talking to you directly about the overreaction btw ;) ).

    The world has come undone...

    Well, seems that way at times.

    Crazy shit happening.

    What's with the covering of bodies with weed and the one up wanting to smear his victims with sandwiches?

    It'd almost be funny if it weren't so fucked up.
