They robbed a 7-11?  That's pretty bush league for a terrorists.

And I'm assuming they're Muslims?

The social network of the killed suspect says yes.

Lived in the US for 10 years.

If they're Chechen, yeah, they're muslims. Though, of course, that doesn't mean they're not something else as well.

This is allegedly his social media profile:

So he wrote this 1 year ago...

Looks like a Chechen lunatic, indeed.

Might be a decent piece of slightly nationalist poetry in the original.

The number of his followers there seems to be exploding. So are the number of comments.

I only hope he has time to check his Smartphone while on the run.

This country ain't right.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how this story shines any light on the subject.  Explain?

Boston Police officially IDed the suspect as the 19 year old guy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. A 19 year old is a murderer and terrorist. This world really does suck dick. Jesus Christ.

CNN reporting definite smell of smoke in Watertown, police officers and cars rushing into an area past one of the anchors. Helicopter zoomed over.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The local CBS station just had an interview supposedly with the suspects' uncle.  He called the older brother a loser.  Incidentally, I just went back and looked at the blast video.  It looked to be fairly close to the Russian flag, which makes a degree of sense since the suspects are Chechyn.

Knowing CNN, this is probably not actually true of course.

Station now reporting that the police have surrounded a house at Quimby and Willow, presumably they think someone is there, but whether there is someone there, we don't know yet.

[Blue3]

They may know Dzhokar's (White Hat's) location...

 They're also saying now that HE is the one who ran over and killed his own brother earlier.

 Also a third person of interest in custody. And now a fourth.



Recap on the Suspects:
 Tamerlan was born in Russia, was 26, parents fled the area near Chechnya due to rising violence in early 90's, Dzhokhar was born when they were refugees in Kyrgyzstan as they awaited permission for residency in America (he's 19), they have been in America since 2002, became permanent legal resident in 2007.

Entire city of Boston is now included in the lockdown.

Black Hat is reported to have been killed.


White Hat guy has reportedly been identified as Sunil Tripathi, a Brown University student who has been missing since March.

Whoever came up with this is a fukcing moron.

The traditional media is a joke. Not sure why people still take them seriously.

Eh, I think the internet community is more to blame for the Tripathi thing blowing up, honestly.

Probably (wasn't awake for that part of the saga), but the traditional media has latched on to basically any nuggets of information as 'verifiable facts' even if the guy reporting them is probably a 13 year old kid in a basement in Alabama.

Amusingly, the best coverage on this is from the French newspaper Le Monde which has a live blog and provides the live stream of the local CBS station.

To be fair, TV coverage last night was getting slammed for being far behind Twitter news. The Internet broke the Sunil Tripathi info.

The stations are really in a no-win situation now. Report too slow and you're mocked, report too fast and you're crucified.

One of his "friends" apparently pointed the finger at him. That guy is definitely not his friend and should be publicly ostracized as far as I am concerned. A family has their son go missing for months and then people casually link him to a bombing even though he doesn't look like the suspect just because he is brown? Imagine what the family is going through now. What a bunch of racist cocksuckers.

[Mr. Morden]

Ummm....what is this Twitter account?:

https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_A

[Hash]

The suspect apparently has time to update his Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_A (unless this is a fake, but a fake who also speaks Russian)

@Boston_Police I will kill you all as you killed my brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev #watertown one killed i think one injured;;;; gooooo hell

Really, really seems fake though.

[Middle-aged Europe]

https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_A

Probably fake, since it seems to exist since his name has become publicly known.

[Peeperkorn]

I knew they were Arabs.
