PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. 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."

I follow Peter Sagal on twitter and he tweeted, he had just finished with the blind friend he was leading and was just past the finish line when it went off. Bad enough to be in that chaos when you can see. He reported that they were fine, but has to be scary to be that close.

At least there aren't any deaths being reported as yet. That seems very unlikely, but you would think there would be some mention that no deaths have been reported as yet.

My niece who moved to Boston area was working for John Hancock up until just a few weeks ago. They are a major sponsor and close so their employees can volunteer to help at the race.
She changed jobs just a few weeks ago.
She's trying to get in touch with some of her friends from her JH job.

ETA: just heard; 2 dead ; over 20 injured

7. "RE: Expolosions at Boston Marathon??!??"
I'm waiting for follow-up explosions.

The following is not intended as disrespect to the dead and their families: as a terrorist attack, this would be incompetent. If this was deliberate (and I'll leave a tiny chance of gas explosion or the like on the board for now), then those responsible could have conceivably planted bigger charges, timed things to get more people, and wouldn't you place this near the starting line for maximum carnage, setting it off just after the race began? But if you mainly wanted to get police, medical, and fire responders, you'd start with a relatively small charge, get everyone in the area, and then trigger the major explosion.

I'm dearly hoping I'm wrong and this is simple incompetence -- or accident. And I'm sure someone else has thought of this -- dozens of them, some on the scene. But until they clear the zone...

By the way, do not read any commentary sections on this story. The trolls are out in force and warpainting their faces with innocent blood.

Also, no disrespect intended for those who died and suffered serious injuries in considerable harm.

My initial guess (based on past history) is that this is yet another home-grown wacko wannabe who figured out how to make improvised explosive devices (IED's are not rocket science) but couldn't come up with the optimal strategy to kill, harm and shock, not that it really mattered except to make something happen which would grab the national and international news. After all, this is the Boston Marathon.

8. "A third explosion?"
LAST EDITED ON 04-15-13 AT 05:17 PM (EST)

BOSTON (AP) — Boston police say there's been a third explosion in the city, following two blasts near the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed two people and injured many others.

Police Commissioner Edward Davis says authorities aren't certain that the explosion at the JFK Library was related to the other blasts, but they're treating them as if they are.

David says there are no injuries stemming from the third explosion.

He urged people to stay indoors and not congregate in large groups.

Update: Two people died and 28 are being treated in hospitals from the first (apparently two) explosions, with reports of another (possibly two) unexploded device(s) found.

12. "RE: A third explosion?"
An completely unrelated incident could be construed as related, and apparently this is not related, but the facts remain to be seen. The Library is distant from the Boston Marathon scene which was the focus of the bombings and this could well be unrelated. If this was the act of a single person, a JFK Library bombing would seem spurious.

10. "RE: A third explosion?"
The odds of a single person being responsible are starting to drop. CNN claims the 'JFK Library incident' is 'fire-related', whatever that truly means, but that typically indicates someone wants the media to lean towards coincidence -- whether 'tis or not. The Boston Globe says over one hundred people are injured. Also that the Red Sox have identified the persons responsible and are demanding the immediate arrests of Bobby Valentine and Carl Crawford.

(Note that the BoSox played their traditional noon game. Plant a bomb just outside the gates, set off after the last out, and things could have been so much worse.)

In the land of the Suspicious Backpack, we now have a field day in progress: many runners carry small ones when they're on the marathon course and most of them dropped the things when they ran for their lives. There are Suspicious Backpacks everywhere. Watch your step.

{dark}Well, they're attacking an event which non-citizens always win and the life records of a Democrat in the home of the original tea party on Patriots Day: anyone want to take a guess?{/dark}

This bombing smacks of a domestic lone wolf, like almost all of these in the past, but we'll see, pending more facts. It's almost certain that it's not Al-Queda, or else the results would have been much different.

It's now being classified as a terrorist attack. Toll is up to 107 injured at the moment.

I hope AyaK is not in harm's way as his office is not too far from Copley Square.

ETA - Great to see that you are in no harm, AyaK.

I agree. The bombs were in optimal places, but two didn't go off, and the other two did damage, but not as much as they cold have in those positions.

I can't make any jokes about this. It's too close to home.

Yep, the course is going to be the land of suspicious backpacks probably for the next several days.

For some reason, this feels home grown, but we will see.

Footage is awful, bringing me to tears again and again. They were bombs placed in trash cans, and there was another that did not explode.

I'm praying for everyone in Boston and I hope these f*krs are caught and caught quickly.

Currently at three dead, one hundred and forty-one wounded, with twenty-five in serious condition and seventeen critical. CNN has many of the wounds reported as inflicted by high-velocity ball bearings -- another sign of a less-than-completely-expert device, or at least someone working around suspicious purchases.

A third grader dead. Behold the endless courage of our assailants.

The claimant silence is starting to become the dominant background sound. No one wants to be saluted for this? Very strange.

25. "RE: Holy crap"
From CNN:

"Investigators warned police to be on the lookout for a "darker-skinned or black male" with a possible foreign accent in connection with the attack, according to a law enforcement advisory obtained by CNN. The man was seen with a black backpack and sweatshirt and was trying to get into a restricted area about five minutes before the first explosion, the lookout notice states.

Also, a Saudi national with a leg wound was under guard at a Boston hospital in connection with the bombings, but investigators cannot say he is involved at this time and he is not in custody, a law enforcement official said Monday evening."

The later sounds a little too much like a visiting spectator or participant (remember, the marathon draws from all over the world) who had the triple bad luck to be from Saudi Arabia, at the explosion site, and sighted by police after. Hopefully he's under guard from The Stupid: I fully expect some resident idiot to try a retaliatory attack on a Bostonian tonight.

The former has a slight chance of panning out, but assumes the attacker was planting the explosives up through the last minute and/or had to detonate from extremely short range.

The person questioned in the hospital was a Saudi national, who was report­edly tackled and held by a ­bystander after he was seen running from near the scene of the explosion, said a law enforce­ment source who spoke with someone involved in the FBI’s investigation.

The Saudi man, believed to be a university student in ­Boston, is cooperating with the FBI and told agents that he was not involved in the explosions, and that he ran only because he was frightened. Investigators did not characterize the man as a suspect. No one had been ­arrested or charged by late Monday night.

Copying it to here because I thought his message was right on point:

A lot of people are cursing the world as 'evil' today. Go watch the videos again. Look how many people immediately and with no concern for their own safety ran to help. Right now, the Red Cross is so overwhelmed with people trying to donate blood that they're having to turn them away. Of course they're {sic} are evil forces in the world, there always will be -- but today should reaffirm you're {sic} faith in people, not shake it.

The toll keeps getting worse. Three dead (two at the scene). At least ten amputations. Horrible. Ball bearings being removed from victims, so these were Claymore type bombs. Good thing the explosives weren't any more powerful than they were.

A Saudi national with a leg injury is under guard at one of the hospitals. He's not in custody, though, so that may be for his protection.

Two unexploded devices found, these could be very important in tracking down the actual culpret(s).

Whoops, thanks for the correction, kingfish/AyaK. Just seemed like there were a lot of these on the same street, so that's what I directed my focus onto.

ETA: Just saw it pointed out elsewhere - Boston has a number of metallic garbage/recycling cans that are side-by-side in one big container. That might be the metal thing we see on the right side of the picture above.

38. "We're going off on a tangent here"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence

January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed. Eric Robert Rudolph, who was also responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was charged with the crime and received two life sentences as a result. Emily Lyons, a nurse, was severely injured, and lost an eye.

October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death with a high-powered rifle at his home in Amherst, New York. His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Slepian's murder after finally being apprehended in France in 2001.

June 11, 2001: An unsolved bombing at a clinic in Tacoma, Washington destroyed a wall, resulting in $6,000 in damages.

September 11, 2006 David McMenemy of Rochester Hills, Michigan, crashed his car into the Edgerton Women's Care Center in Davenport, Iowa. He then doused the lobby in gasoline and started a fire. McMenemy committed these acts in the belief that the center was performing abortions; however, Edgerton is not an abortion clinic.

April 25, 2007: A package left at a women's health clinic in Austin, Texas, contained an explosive device capable of inflicting serious injury or death. A bomb squad detonated the device after evacuating the building. Paul Ross Evans (who had a criminal record for armed robbery and theft) was found guilty of the crime.

May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by Scott Roeder as Tiller served as an usher at church in Wichita, Kansas.

January 1, 2012 Bobby Joe Rogers, 41, firebombed the American Family Planning Clinic in Pensacola, Florida with a Molotov cocktail; the fire gutted the building. Rogers told investigators that he was motivated to commit the crime by his opposition to abortion, and that what more directly prompted the act was seeing a patient enter the clinic during one of the frequent anti-abortion protests there.

April 1, 2012 A bomb exploded on the windowsill of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, resulting in a fire that damaged one of the clinic's examination rooms. No injuries were reported. On April 3, the FBI arrested 50-year-old Francis Grady on charges of "arson of a building used in interstate commerce" and "intentionally damaging the property of a facility that provides reproductive health services".

Well, there's the excuse Mayor Michael 'I was going to do it anyway' Bloomberg didn't need.

You had to hear his press conference. No matter what he said, it inevitably came out as one of two statements: 'I can't possibly leave office when the city clearly needs me so badly' and 'I've been looking for a reason to put cameras in all of your kitchens and charge fifteen percent of your income as a monitoring fee. And there it is!'

My prayers are with all who were directly involved in this. Last I heard there were a lot of critical injuries, so the death toll might go up.

I don't think this is a home grown attack. Home grown would have targeted a building, an organization, a group, not a random crowd. Guess we'll see.

Do we know if any RTVW people were there and if so, are they ok?

I wouldn't rule out home grown. Whoever planned this wanted media coverage and knew there would be film crews and photographers at that sight. They (he/she) wanted maximum media coverage.

Still, until a claim comes out for it, there is no knowing what agenda was behind this. A foreign terrorist agenda would have probably made a statement by now.

Personally, I think the whole thing is senseless, someone just wanted to make a big splash.

Let me know when they manage to explain how he personally set the bombs without being spotted or recorded in any way. With no statements from the usual suspects, I also think this is a native. (If it had been the President, it would then be a foreign organization.)

As noted above and below, there are a lot of better places and times along the course to maximize fatalities. Strategically, it's a strange choice for both.

From running CC and knowing Maratoners it seems that you have a running bring your things, in a backpack, from the start to the end. Now the race does do this but it's a pain as I've been told so most people do it themselves with someone. So seeing someone walking around with multiple backpacks is not strange.

As for video, whoever did this knew the finish is covered by a lot of camera's so if they are looking for a major DAW and maybe not max kill zone....that would be a good spot.

My money's on a local/homegrown wacko. If a terrorist organization such as al Qaeda did this, they would've been crowing to the world about their great success for Allah. The silence points towards some local with a grudge.

I agree.

Also, as Hobbes' wife points out, a more professional approach would have been to plant bombs at the start where the confusion associated with the crowd of racers would have made it easier to plant the bombs, and the devastation would have been much greater. The finish line is a more dramatic setting perhaps, but it is more sparsely populated.

One theory floated out there relating to this was that the guy tried several times to get into the restricted area where all the finished runners, families and officials were. Right now, we have no way of knowing how many times he tried to get in or how long beforehand he did so, but he was last seen trying to get in about five minutes prior to the first explosion.

Actually I just got done talking to my marathoner friend and he said there are the contenders and then 2 other groups that are sent out 1/2 hr apart. So the main group would be coming in at the 4 hour mark or 3 1/2 hour to 4 hours mark which is 9 minutes a mile.

Surprisingly, I've not been in a position to read/watch or fully catch up on any of this. I had to record this morning's news to be able to watch later.

Hoping this is not the case, but is it possible that this was staged to be small and look amateur in order to set up for something else bigger?

Probably not, terrorists tend to like using surprise and hitting big targets, now there has been an attack everyone is a little more on edge and triple checking everything, particularly with big events, I know the Met Police have/are talking to the London marathon organisers to check their security, so any attack is more likely to fail.

Although I've seen a couple of comments from Spokane that they wonder if the thwarted bombing of the MLK walk couldn't have been a dry run for this bombing. That was a pipe bomb in a backpack and also placed in a way that would have taken out of a lot of legs if it had gone off.

A pipe bomb attempt, and now a pressure cooker bomb attempt. Who'd a thought that you could mix up a concoction with grandma's six-liter pressure cooker with nails and BB's and a bit of gunpowder with a kitchen stove clock ticking inside?

One explosives expert commented that if you can manage to make a homemade bomb like this and not blow yourself up, then you're not an amateur.

It's certainly worth investigating, though I don't think it as suspicious as the tinfoil crowd would have it.

Two lines of speculation converge.

1. The culprit filmed the event from a safe vantage point.

2. The explosives were set off by remote control and the culprit needed a line of sight to pick his time.

I don't think either speculation is of much value. Why bother filming what would already be being filmed? The investigators should be able to figure out how the devices were triggered.

Well from what I learned on Mythbusters. At some distance you see the flash before you hear the bang/boom and feel shockwave. With the building in the way it may take until it bounces off the far side of the street and bounces back before you'd notice it.

But that isn't nearly as much fun. Do they have just the stills or do they have a whole video where you could see that 1/2 a second after this shot he/she/it does react?

That's why I said "shroom-be-boom", first you see the cloud first at light speed and then only a second (more or less, depending on distance) afterward does the shock wave boom hit.

Yep, on of the Jamie Wants Big Boom I think they had to be like a mile or two away so like 5 seconds (like lightening/thunder) before you heard it. Very eerie to see the big explosion and have such a long delay.

I didn't know the technical term of Shroom-be-boom.

In mathematical terms, it's the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound in air.

What's scary about this is that apparently these bombs were concocted out of 6 liter pressure cookers, pellets and nails, and possibly a short "kitchen clock" timing device, with gunpowder (easily available to musket rifle enthusiasts) to make it blow. And then there's hydrogen peroxide and other simple chemicals available on the commercial market.

Whoever did this did their basic research on how to concoct a simple IED.

It's sad. So many people and families and friends were hurt, not because of a simple device, but because of the ill and misguided intent behind it. And it's not just here in the U.S.

CNN's report remains unconfirmed. The FBI's national press office says "we have not officially named anyone and we don't know where they're getting that information." Boston Police also declined to comment to HuffPost Crime, saying they don't know about the possible suspect.

There are also conflicting news reports. CBS and NBC reported prior to 2 p.m. ET that there was no suspect in custody, according to their unnamed sources.

breaking news: Boston Courthouse evacuated, citing a 'code red', the highest level of warning. Reporters pushed to other side of road. Bomb threat?

The federal courthouse has been evacuated and a "code red" has been declared. Police have moved everybody across the street.

The court, located in the city's Seaport district, was flooded with onlookers after a false report of an arrest made in the Marathon bombing case.

Rare case of the press accepting the blame.

Conspiracy theorists already saying that it was a 'code red' set off by the courthouse itself, in order to get everybody away from the building and get "suspect" in without hoopla. There was one van that drove into a garage type opening in the building while everyone was evacuated.

Not my opinions, just quoting some others.

at the moment.

http://news.msn.com/us/boston-bombing-what-we-know

10 Boston area hospitals treated more than 170 patients, at least 14 still in critical condition. Doctors expect all of their patients to survive.

Investigators have an image of a potential suspect but do not know his name.

The U.S. Marshals Service said the federal courthouse was evacuated due to a bomb threat. Workers returned to the courthouse later Wednesday afternoon.

A portion of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston was also evacuated. According to the Boston Globe, an unattended car with gas cans inside was left at the valet entrance.

President Barack Obama and 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney are among those planning to attend a Boston interfaith healing service on Thursday.

No unexploded bombs were found on Monday, despite previous reports.

From CNN:

"We used a robot to pull the tarp off the boat," David Procopio of the Massachusetts State Police said. "We were also watching him with a thermal imaging camera in our helicopter. He was weakened by blood loss -- injured last night most likely... "

They probably had one of your off-the-shelf (and-the-cuff) miniature drones flying around too, but they're not allowed to talk about it.

This appears to be Sunil Tripathi, a philosophy major at Brown University who has been missing for a month. Local press reports say that Boston police have officially identified him as a suspect.

Mr Tripathi is described as a leftwing Marxist of Indian Brahmin descent, whose father is a successful software developer. His family set up a Twitter account and a Facebook page last month to help the search for him. Mr Tripathi was first identified as a suspect in a crowdsleuthing exercise on the Reddit website.

The other suspect, who was wearing the black hat, has been named as Mike Mulugeta. He is thought to have died at hospital after a shoot-out with police..."

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/19/17817173-one-boston-marathon-suspect-killed-second-suspect-his-brother-on-loose-after-firefight?lite

With a bomb strapped to his chest, one of the Boston Marathon suspects was killed early Friday after he and his accomplice robbed a 7-Eleven, shot a police officer to death, carjacked an SUV and hurled explosives out the window in an extraordinary firefight with law enforcement, authorities told NBC News.

The second suspect — the one in the white hat in photos released by the FBI — was on the loose, and police ordered people in the Boston suburb of Watertown to stay in their homes and businesses not to open. Boston shut down its buses and subway system for the hunt.

The suspects are brothers with the last name Tsarnaev, law enforcement officials told NBC News. The suspect at large, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, is 19 and has a Massachusetts driver’s license, they said. Law enforcement officials told NBC News that both men had international ties, had been in the United States about a year and had military experience.

119. "Interesting Reading"
http://www.cfr.org/terrorism/chechen-terrorism-russia-chechnya-separatist/p9181

Are there links between Chechen groups and al-Qaeda?

Experts say there are several ties between the al-Qaeda network and Chechen groups. A Chechen warlord known as Khattab is said to have met with Osama bin Laden while both men were fighting the 1979-89 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Alexander Vershbow, a U.S. ambassador to Russia, said shortly after September 11, 2001, "We have long recognized that Osama bin Laden and other international networks have been fueling the flames in Chechnya, including the involvement of foreign commanders like Khattab." Khattab was killed in April 2002.

Zacarias Moussaoui, who was convicted for his involvement in the September 11 attacks, was reported by the Wall Street Journal to be formerly "a recruiter for al-Qaeda-backed rebels in Chechnya." Chechen militants reportedly fought alongside al-Qaeda and Taliban forces against the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance in late 2001. The Taliban regime in Afghanistan was one of the only governments to recognize Chechen independence.

Lets get a law passed outlawing all military experience. And large capacity pressure cookers.

Sounds like the second suspect's days on the run and on earth are very limited. Hope he isn't allowed to take anyone else with him.

So they spend a lot of time and effort putting together the hardware and the plan, and also some effort to execute the plan. But they didn't give any thought to their escape plan?

Or was it their idiotic plan to rob a 7-11 on the way out of town to provide the cash and beef jerky that they would need for a life on the run?

They didn't use suicide vests, so they probably thought that they could survive the bombing.

I was up most of the night for the late breaking news as this unfolded. First, let me say "told ya so". I hadn't heard the terrorist killed had an IED strapped to him. I was wondering if they planned an attack last night or if the cop they killed recognized them and things got crazy after that. With Hobbs intel, it seems likely they were planning something. Someone's likely hiding this guy. Hope they find him real soon.

137. "RE: Engagement?"
A CNN crew near the scene heard about two dozen gunshots fired, but it was not clear if the shots were fired by the suspect, authorities or both. A number of small explosions, believed to be stun grenades, also were heard.

Sounds like a (maybe a Fed) SWAT team moved in very quickly with non-lethal weapons to knock him out after the initial skirmish and haul him in.

Thinking about it, it's impressive how much effort went into finding and stopping these guys, to the point of literally shutting down a major East Coast city for an entire day, with thousands of law enforcement and intelligence personnel work on it around the clock. There was a sense of determination that was shared from the Oval Office, federal agencies, the state government, and the Boston (and let us not forget, university) police.

No doubt the intelligence services are investigating all of their past contacts and visits and it's quite possible that there's more to all of this than meets the eye.

And it's sad, the bombings and shootings, the death and all the injury that was caused in so many peoples' lives by two very highly misguided brothers in a dysfunctional family with roots in a war-torn land.

My heart and my thoughts go out to all of the people there who suffered for this.

140. "Miranda Rights question"
LAST EDITED ON 04-20-13 AT 07:14 AM (EST)

They are making a big deal of whether they should be read to this citizen of the United States are not.

Does he have a different set of rights if that statement is read?

So the right to a lawyer is not absolute, but only if the people arresting me decided I get to have one?

I mean I thought the point of reading it was to make sure people know the information the should probably know but may not (like you have a right to plead the fifth and not talk). Not that in reading the rights they then apply to you and if they don't read them you don't have those rights?

Or am I confused about this. I mean I had thought this was about not giving a citizen of another country in our borders the same rights as a citizen or something, not that I only can have these rights if they are specifically given to me, and they decide if I am a criminal or a something else before there is any legal proceedings so it is just up to whoever puts the cuffs on me if I have rights or not.

Because that is how the reporting makes it kinda sound, and I just want to check.

ETA: Well based on how careful they are about reporting his medical condition it is good to know that his HIPAA privacy rights are absolute and cannot be revoked by anyone at any time for any reason.

Good question, and it depends on whether this is treated as a crime or an act of warfare or terrorism. From all that has been said so far, from the Prez on down, it's terrorism, so all bets are off on legal protections.

This could become quite a media circus with the legal proceedings, future discoveries, and the spotlight on the brothers' dysfunctional family.

In any case, it seems unlikely that he'll end up in Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

(eta latest news)

Federal terrorism charges against Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev could be filed soon, even as he remains hospitalized, a Justice Department official told CNN on Saturday. The 19-year-old could also face murder charges at the state level.

Federal prosecutors are at the heavily guarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where Tsarnaev remains in serious condition while in federal custody, and they are working on formulating the charges.

158. "RE: Miranda Rights question"
I read around a bit on the public safety exception and if I understand correctly, they can question him about whether and where there are other dangers that he knows of in order to identify and neutralize those dangers. And nothing he tells them can be used against him in court. Once that line of questioning is exhausted he would be Mirandized.

141. "Sibiling impact."
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.

We'll see what comes out when the rants begin.

Just be glad he wasn't seventeen.

I thought they had just lifted the "stay in your house" order shortly before the guy went to the back yard.

I wouldn't have looked in the boat. I would have just called the cops if I saw blood and a cut tie down.

From what I've gathered that house was just outside the "search every building" area so that is how come it wasn't checked out before.

I was thinking he might have just found some hole to bleed out in and we wouldn't find him until someone called in a really bad odor. I think the find a spot to hide would be pretty instinctual at that point and I don't know if he was still in plot and scheme mode or shocked how did I get away and did I really run over my brother mode.

If the reports that he just went back to campus and was living his life until he was on a wanted poster are correct they may have had a "they will never catch us look how long it took them to find that Unibomber guy" theory. Sure running immediately puts you on the radar as someone who might be guilty, but it also gives you enough time to get out of reach. Can't lock down the whole country and do a house to house search.

CNN story.

David Henneberry had been cooped up for hours, stuck inside as police searched for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. He ventured out for some fresh air after police lifted their order to stay indoors.

He looked at the boat parked in his yard. What he saw brought an end to the authorities' sweeping manhunt.

"The tarp on his winterized boat had sort of been flapping in the wind," his stepson Robert Duffy told CNN's Piers Morgan. Henneberry had tied down the covering on the vessel in his backyard so firmly that it had not budged all winter long, not even through this year's blizzards.

"He got closer and realized that one of the retention straps had literally been cut -- not chafed, not broken or unhooked," Duffy said. Henneberry saw something else -- something on the tarp that looked like blood.

The Watertown resident thought some animal had forced its way into his boat. Maybe it was a squirrel, he told his stepson. Henneberry climbed a stepladder to look inside.

"He basically stuck his head under the tarp (and) noticed a pool of blood," Duffy said. It was dark under the tarpaulin, so the boat owner could only make out vague contours, "but he definitely noticed there was something crumpled up in a ball," the stepson said.

A pool of blood; a manhunt in Watertown; time to call 911.

I don't understand the Miranda thing either, unless they are calling him an enemy combatant. You don't have to Mirandize anyone in combat, but applying that to this situation seems like a stretch.

And although the police said that the 7-11 robbery was by someone else, they did catch the brothers in the act on surveillance tapes, so that claim seems to be a bit bizarre. Fog of war, perhaps.

When they talked about it more about the only thing it means is they can ask operational questions. Is there another bomb, who gave you money, etc for a few hours before they have to say the words and if you do say something before they say the words they can actually use it in court.

But in this case do they really need that? I mean it isn't like they have nothing at all to hold him on from the evidence collected so far.

And I don't like the idea that you can just for giggles decide you have probably cause for certain crimes and remove rights from a citizen of the USA indiscriminately. I'm sure there are some limitations, I hope there are.

But it seemed really jarring to see that the Hospital is protecting his HIPAA privacy rights as they would for any other human being, but the judicial system/police seem to act if they don't keep him from his rights as long as possible they will never convict him of anything.

I mean if they just want to talk to me at the police station (they think I saw something) They have no intention of arresting me. I can still bring a lawyer and not answer any questions I don't want to, right? Because they were almost making it sound like until a cop says those words you have no right to have a lawyer and have no Fifth Amendment rights. I didn't think Miranda granted you the rights. Just remind you of them if you haven't passed the citizenship test in the last year and may have forgotten them from the 57 million times you have heard them read on TV dramas.

I'm wondering if the intention of running over his brother was to try and set off the bomb that was attached to his chest? I'd have to go through the archives again but didn't they say there were explosives found on the older brother? Just speculation there.

Radicalized people place a higher power and a common goal (to kill and maim) as a greater priority over families or common sense.

If so, he may have been the factor which damaged the bomb to where it couldn't easily be detonated. (Someone probably owes him some thanks for that, but let's try not to let it be any of us.) It brings up the question of just how many explosives were in the vehicle. Trying for a chain reaction: all homemade bombs, grenades, ammo, and the gas tank?

Incidentally, I'm eagerly awaiting the NRA press conference in which they'll defend grenade sales. Those deer just keep getting faster, y'know.

If he did, then he did it illegally. The younger one might have been able to vote in the last election, but I'm pretty sure Massachusetts doesn't release suspect ballot records. And if such records exist, worry lots.

Sorry, but I posted that as a velvet glove nod towards the extreme edges of both faiths having more in common than either wishes to admit. And if you've been following the thread, you know the New York Post has been blowing what remains of their journalistic credentials left and right -- mostly far right -- so I have no idea how far to trust that story anyway.

Disappointed? No. I wouldn't have been surprised if they were Religious Reich -- for any faction. It sounds increasingly like they're Islamic fringe. Which is mostly like the Christian fringe, only with looser clothing.

But until this part of the (maybe slightly accurate?) story broke, the lack of claimants, videos, and general You All Deserved This Because We Said So statements made me believe they might have been thrill killers. And their silence still bothers me.

One can no longer testify. The other may never do so.

If I was as much of a cross-hater as you seem to peg me to, I'd have a talk show, documentaries, and even more people would pronounce my name wrong.

I just think you use "Christian" and "Religious Right" interchangeably - maybe something that you should consider not doing? I'm not sure the Religious Right is a faith, either, any more so than Vegans or Environmentalist’s... and any of those groups can claim holiness or god.

I know you generally write these things to provoke. And I don’t know how much of a Christ(ian) hater you are, I haven’t had a pizza and a beer with you to find out – so no, that’s not what I’m thinking.

I hate how a minority of high-profile, loud Christians have made it a punch line and mockery to have a faith in God. But I really can’t do much about these people – and most of the time you are generally correct with your assessment of… “us” (there probably needs to have some definition around your “us” and my “us”).

In the mean time I know who I am and why I have faith and what I do with that; and others shoot people and blow things up in the name of their faith.

It depends on how you break it down. Food stamps for the family -- I don't know how Mass. determines assistance rates: around here, it could easily be $200 a month (which still doesn't help much). Utility assistance, figure that's another $100. Nothing a lot of people living in poverty (or faking same) can't get by filling out the right forms over several months.

Section 8 housing is the big one. Locally, it's almost impossible to get into -- applications are taken once or twice a year for one day -- and if you get through, they typically pay just about your entire rent. But it's generally limited to the disabled and seniors whose rent increase has outpaced their Social Security. Again, I don't know what the New England rules are, but I'd think it would be hard for a working household -- or even an unemployed one -- to get into. Weird.

Incidentally, someone apparently did propose regulating and tracking pressure cooker sales, and at least one place tried pulling them off the shelves. Direct that outrage.

The one that gave me epidermis irritation: people who called and tweeted ESPN to demand the network stop covering news: just drop the marathon and go to a backup lacrosse game. Priorities!

While I tend to agree but we are talking $100,000 over 10 years so only $10k a year really don't sound like much support when you put it that way. Plus is this for each of them added together or just the parents?

Up until last year while looking for an apartment for a friend I never heard of Section 8. I know it's hard to get here in Michigan.

As reported it was a silly series of lies, and is suspicious.

But why bring a pressure cooker thru customs anyway when every Walmart, Target, sears, garage sale etc. sells them?

And, although the missing page from his passport might be a cause for detainment, is that even illegal?

At some point the authorities are going to realize that bringing a pressure cooker thru customs, for whatever reason, isn't illegal.

An altered passport is sufficient grounds for refusal for entry, no matter what country the passport holder attempts to enter.

It makes you wonder what was on the missing page. Visas and stamps for a visit to Yemen? Afghanistan? Pakistan? The Chechen Republic? Switzerland?

Good luck finding a Mid-eastern cuisine recipe book that calls for cooking lamb or goat in a pressure cooker.

Well, I guess a passport with a missing page (presumably one with or without entry stamps) could be considered an altered passport.

I would have assumed that by altered passport they would mean that the name or picture or other ID info had been changed, not that a page was missing.

The guy reportedly went Brandonhantz on the attack, pulled a knife. Whether getting people to flip out is a particular skill trained into federal agents, or a natural ability sought in recruiting federal agents ... probably a bit of both.

They (and other law enforcement types) usually do exert a certain amount of pressure during interviews, especially if there is some reason to think the person may be withholding information/lying.

That is also how you end up with people confessing to things because at some point it almost seems reasonable that they will really let you go home if only you say you murdered 13 people and a llama while wearing a gorilla suit and high heels.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/22/18418012-man-with-ties-to-boston-bombing-suspect-admits-role-in-2011-murders-shot-during-fbi-questioning?lite

Dead Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and another man — who was killed by the FBI on Wednesday — murdered three people in Massachusetts after a drug deal went wrong in 2011, law enforcement sources tell NBC News.

Sources say that what began as a drug ripoff ended in a triple homicide when Tsarnaev and Ibragim Todashev realized their victims would later be able to identify them.

Todashev, 27, allegedly attacked an agent with a knife while confessing to the 3-year-old slayings. He was not suspected of having played any role in the bombing.

179. "Terrorism in London"
I'm sure we have all read the horrific story. Is this what we can expect in the future - lone wolf terrorist attacks by insane men?

180. "RE: Terrorism in London"
Well I don't think it is the future as it has been going on at a reasonably steady pace since they started calling crazies doing things terrorism. They really only started calling it that in the 1990's but they've been around before that.

As long as we have a world where people are disenfranchised, don't see a possible good future for themselves, and not nearly enough mental health services, it isn't likely people with violent tendencies will stop using nominally political reasons for hurting others. I don't know if they are really much different from violent people who use any other -ism or delusion as a reason.

Most people seem to need a something to be the reason for the violence rather than just saying they did it 'cause they liked it.

181. "One race later."
So an American male won that part of the marathon field for the first time in three decades or so.

I didn't know we were still letting those compete.

182. "RE: One race later."
I got a message last night that a good friend of mine from college ran the race in 3 hr 29 min. She did cross country in school, but for a 40 yr old w/ 2 kids, I'd say that's pretty dang good.

Also, who is this "capital S"-nidget that started this thread?
