As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Two parts of the capture story stood out to me: the bit where the younger was only taken in because a good citizen violated his 'orders' by leaving the house in the first place -- that's Americans for you: don't tell us what to do -- and how the older got caught. According to police, at the end of one car chase phase, the brothers had theirs stopped and the older got out. Presumably he did something threatening, because the police then shot him. And the younger brother -- decided to resume the getaway, got the engine going, and hit something which was in his way. Namely, the older brother.
Right. He ran over his own sibling in order to escape. Truly no greater love.
I don't know if they had a getaway plan. The 7-11 robbery seems to have been an unrelated crime, so that takes out 'get money to run with'. Killing the MIT officer -- recognized? Cause as much terror as they could before they were dropped? The carjacking makes it look like they might have been heading out, but there are ways in it was incompetent at best: two of them and the driver escapes? Unless you're trying to lure the police in for a firefight -- in which case, we're back to 'kill until we're killed'. When I heard the younger was in a boat, I thought he'd headed for the water. Someone's backyard didn't really focus in until more details came through.
It seems as if potentially having gotten some of your ideas from those who regularly engage in suicide bombings tends to hinder the 'and then what?' part of the strategy. And I'm still surprised we got the younger alive. One circlemate proposed the nastiest thing he could do if too wounded to continue would be finding the most isolated place to die and letting the authorities waste hundreds of thousands of search hours looking for a suspect who no longer strictly existed while the entire region continued to shiver through the nights. Maybe that's what he was going for in the bottom of the boat. Or maybe he was waiting for any chance to do anything at all where more people would die.
