There is also a reported explosion at JFK Library, apparently earlier.
Crazy. |
The JFK library one is now being said was unrelated, caused by a fire.
|
Whoah. That pic on liveleak with the dude missing a leg. Damn.
What type of spastic would let off a bomb at a marathon. |
Last I heard this morning Saudi national in custody. I've seen nothing other than news items refuting that there is any suspect in custody. Please post a source. |
I've seen nothing other than news items refuting that there is any suspect in custody.Please post a source. Was on Sunrise as I left this morning, source was a New York Post article: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/authorities_under_suspect_guard_y2m8cJO29uC2PDGIjYBalO Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned. Reports around that its bulls*** though. |
Drives home how terrible this would have been. :/
|
Post I was replying to is gone now....
This space for rent. Terrible news. |
Probably because he is completely exhausted from just running 42km
Apparently it was around the 4 hour mark for finishing times so you're starting to get into the people that aren't that good so they're even more f***ed by the end of it and can barely walk and you have s*** like that going off around you as well |
Probably because he is completely exhausted from just running 42km yer thought the same thing. |
Thought the same thing. Weird though how he didnt flinch.
For those who didnt read my post before I edited it. The bloke in the middle of the video didnt even flinch at the noise. |
Where was the 2nd blast ?
Using one bomb as the attack and then another a short time later is often whats used in Iraq/Syria by al queda alligned groups, but that 2nd blast was too early. Might have been an accident/Gas explosion. That video is spooky. |
You can see the bomb smoke from the second one in the vid as the camera guy looks down the street after the first one went off. Same side of the street.
At the 20 sec mark you can hear the second one and at 22 sec you can see the smoke from it. |
2nd explosion was 100 meters back up the street.
2nd bomb may have been inside a trash can. |
Wall Street Journal claims 5 unexploded bombs have been discovered.
Counterterrorism officials found what they believe to be five additional, undetonated devices. http://online.wsj.com/public/page/rc-login.html |
In related news like 50ppl killed and 300 injured in bomb blasts in Iraq last night too. Every day occurance so wont get coverage and no military were injured or were they? No military no ratings.. Home soil attacks will bring better ratings for media outlets. |
In related news like 50ppl killed and 300 injured in bomb blasts in Iraq last night too. Yep, agree with Damo. Some poor f*****'s leg got blown off in downtown Boston so you can bet that's going to be the top story. The average Joe in the US only thinks about Iraq in the abstract, if at all. |
You forgot to add Frank Costello in there thermite

Gut feeling is that this is not ze muzlamics. Homegrown super right winger(s). I wonder how many rights the Americans will lose this time around.
|
Tragic... however....meanwhile, not in Boston.
|
This could have easily been prevented if more civilians had their own bombs.
|
No s*** Monkeez, lets see how they respond to this compared to say, the shooting death of 20 innocent children.
GUNS! GUNS! GUNS! |
When ever I see those videos of the blast I always look at the guy in the orange singlet. He seems to get hit by debree and stagger forwards. You see when he rolls on his side there is something next to him.
|
Get off your high horses and stop with the moral equivalence/ignorant americans bulls***.
A bomb going off in a crowded event in western democracies is news worthy because it is not common (THANKFULLY) When something not common happens in the middle east we talk about it here, like when many people were massacred at the Egyptian soccer match. |
Why was my post deleted about the westboro baptist church?
I think it's crap what they are doing. |
I suspect it's because their whole system is based around enraging people and suing people that attack them while they protest. Media reporting about them and subsequently people linking about them just helps further their f***ed up cause.
|
haha tk, i was about to make a joke about the wbc are stepping up their game on f*** and f** enablers (america)
|
A bomb going off in a crowded event in western democracies is news worthy because it is not common (THANKFULLY) When something not common happens in the middle east we talk about it here No doubt it's newsworthy. It's just a travesty that bombings are so common in other parts of the world that they're not considered newsworthy. I'll certainly be called an a****** for thinking that way though. (not today, yada yada yada) |
because the solution to those assclowns is to ignore them, not to give them more coverage. They make money off outrage. There needs to be a national "Ridicule the WBC" holiday, where the entire day is spend pointing and laughing at, or otherwise making fun of those people. Turn them into a giant national joke instead of getting upset. But that will never happen, so they'll continue to exist in the public's eye. |
University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. http://www.local15tv.com/mostpopular/story/UM-Coach-Bomb-Sniffing-Dogs-Spotters-on-Roofs/BrirjAzFPUKKN8z6eSDJEA.cspx Still no claims or responsibility, at least none released. Why Boston ? |
my first thought was domestic terrorism via ultra right wingers cos boston is in new england, aka where the american revolution started
|
Still no claims or responsibility, at least none released. Boston starts with the letter "B", so does Bomb. Bomb ends in "b". They put the bombs at the end of the race in Boston. Makes sense when you really think about it, right? |
here's some more aftermath pics. it looks like the guy with the cowboy hat is holding an artery of the legless guy.
http://imgur.com/a/EcMLB |
meanwhile in Iraq....
55 killed in bomb blast. Didnt make front page news but. F*** America. non news.com link |
my first thought was domestic terrorism via ultra right wingers cos boston is in new england, aka where the american revolution started Yeah i was thinking about that, but i jsut dont see 'new' american patriots doing something like that. Their beef would be with the Government. Never really heard anything bad about Boston. Seems a strange place to funnel that level of cruelty. |
F*** America because we care slightly more about an ally that we have familiarity and similarities with compared to a more foreign land which we know very little of? F*** the people that go after civilians.
|
The people who go in Boston threads and enlighten everyone by mentioning the Iraqi bombing are hipsters.
|
plenty of good hypotheses for it being a domestic terrorist. i wonder who it was?
|
F*** Ravn0s those images made me feel f***en queezy
|
Hope it was a right wing gun lobbyist. Might stir up the gun debate once more
|
Whoever did it they did it for publicity because neither bomb used high explosive. Black powder and ball bearings I would suggest. I'd say the intent was to make a point rather than carnage.
Most Merican teenagers know how to make these types of bombs. Materials are easily available. You don't need to know how to make a bomb to experiment, I used to experiment with Condys Crystals and Glycerine when I was a teenager. |
What frustrates me a little about this, is why a complicated and heavy barrier system, fit for a KISS concert was needed for a Marathon run???
|
Yeah the fencing in hinesight looked retarded but there is a s*** load of people there at the finish line, 23000 people running if those people have 1 or 2 people watching .... thats a s***load of people wanting to see their runner finish
It is just a c*** of a spot to put a bomb, not that there is good spot but they got max yield thats for sure |
I am not sure why you would blow up a marathon ... A marathon has 0 political meaning.
imo bitter competitor. |
F*** Ravn0s those images made me feel f***en queezy Harden up, buttercup. |
I am suprised no one has suggested the NRA.
|
Honestly I was about to suggest NRA earlier today.. However the gun ownership and carry arguement would best have been played if there was a rogue shooter... In this case, having a firearm on any one person there means squat, when a gutless IED attack is carried out...
|
Lol hurricane, i got the jolly roger doc (http://www.textfiles.com/anarchy/JOLLYROGER/) during my early high school days and it was filled with s*** to do. Much of it unfortunately was impossible to achieve in AUS but i remember trying to find fertilizer they recommended that was high in ammonia nitrate (IIRC) that made good explosives. I didnt wanna do anything bad, just make some booms in the big ass property behind us. Used to explode lighters, deodorant cans, sparkler bombs, soda bulbs etc. One of my fave things was stealing some magnesium ribbon from high school and lighting that up just for the extreme energy it created. Also wanted to make thermite but never got around to that. Have a cabinet in my parents place filled with all the s*** i burnt, blew up during those days. Good memories. We also got some powder i think from school that would burn different colours depending on the powder type.
|
as loony and far right as gun lobbyists are, bombing american soil is the last thing they would consider doing to make a point. They get mortally offended when someone suggests they are working against the interests of the people of america. If anything they would attack a government asset. Not a marathon... I'm guessing its a nutjobs handy work. |
Is it that far fetched to think a gun lobbyist coulda thought they do something dumb to create fear therefore the need and right to bare arms in order to protect themselves becomes greater?
|
You should create an implosion Dave. My high school physics teacher Ms Bradley created one in exeter cathedral during some school festival, ancient stain class windows hundreds of years old rattled like hell and the noise was deafening. He got in trouble for that one.
|
North Korea indeed have long range rockets
|
Is the suggestion of the NRA being possibly responsible some kind of ultimately stupid troll? I am only asking because to think such a thing is so far off the carts of complete stupidity i find it hard to believe the thought cross even the dumbest of minds.

interview with the dude who was holding the guys legs together:

Lost his son in Iraq, other son committed suicide because of it, got beaten up by eight people for holding a flag upside down by accident and having the courage to push through his fear and help as best as he could in a dire situation.

F*** America because we care slightly more about an ally that we have familiarity and similarities with compared to a more foreign land which we know very little of? F*** the people that go after civilians.That's not the issue, the issue is that one is classed as an act of terrorism and the full heavy hand of the justice system needs to be brought to those terrorists who meticulously planned this operation. The other is just collateral damage so who gives a s*** about them, we will just get away with it by bombing from above with a press of a button because we can. Then we'll just fly off into the sunset waving the american flag and we will be greeted as heroes for defending our country. To sum up, the media are a pack of c****, news at 11. |
I hate the deaths of innocents by drones, but I don't think that's true at all.
One is about an attack directly on civilians, for the purpose of killing civilians. One is about civilian casualties in the war with al Qaeda. Not just done to them -because- they are civilians. Whether or not the war is justified is a major question though. |
Call it what you want. Obama, Osama, Sadama. It's all terrorism, whether it involves wearing a beard and a turbin or wearing a suit and a tie. As for the war in Iraq, there's no justification for it, whatsoever, and you'd be naive, to say the least, to think otherwise. If 2 die it's an act of terrorism but a million iraqi women and children die (over a number of years) then it is merely collateral damage and that makes it ok. F*** off.
|
A million hey? This link says a lot less than a million.
120,000 is still a terrible number of dead civilians though. Why not just say that amount instead of exaggerating and saying a million? It just makes me want to ignore your religious fundamentalist posts even more than I already do. |
So you get my point. Congrats and well done.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War Ignore my posts all you want, cause in the little time that i'm on the forums i sure as hell ignore almost all of yours. |
Nuh-uh, I ignore your posts more than you ignore mine.

The only 1M+ reference cited there is the ORB survey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORB_survey_of_Iraq_War_casualties Which also says "This ORB estimate has been strongly criticised as exaggerated and ill-founded in peer reviewed literature." |
Thought this might happen in a thread about a tragedy in Boston. It is a horrific tragedy isn't it? What happened/is happening in Iraq and many, many other countries is also tragic. Why not make a thread about that? I've made a couple of threads about horrific incidents, mudslides in Brazil for instance and barely anyone cared. Why? Might make a new thread about that? What happened in Boston is tragic, don't detract from that. Yes bombing in Iraq on the leadup to an election is horrible as well, not less than or more than. Yes its a very sad situation that it was barely reported in mainstream media, but most people in these forums source their news from multiple sources, so no need to attack them for problems in the media which they have little control over.
|
It's all good, Alan Jones has determined that the ones responsible for the bombing were left-wing students.
Solved. http://www.news.com.au/national-news/students-to-blame-for-blasts-jones/story-fncynjr2-1226622410020 |
Saying that America's bombs causing unintended collateral damage is the same thing as a planned operation where the sole purpose is to kill civilians doesn't really make sense to me.
I do understand the s***tiness behind the media plastering this everywhere while the bombing of civilians goes relatively unnoticed, though. The truth is the media are c**** and will only heavily report on extraordinary events because that's what brings the clicks and hence advertising dollars in. You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like a child will get bombed in the Middle East or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little Boston will explode, well then everyone loses their minds! |
Haven't seen many comparisons just lots of f*** america. Meh, just find it detracting.
|
As an atheist westerner it makes perfect sense to me how the Iraq situation relates to this. Put yourself in an Iraqis shoes. People dying near u from American bombs would make u scared or "terrorised" by the fact an American bomb could blow u up at any moment. Your an innocent Iraqi living in constant fear . Secondly if my parents or someone i cared for died from an American bomb u best believe I'd be as angry as one could be at the Americans. Come up with whatever justifications u want to help u sleep at night but I could understand an Iraqi feeling exactly like the victims of the Boston marathon bombing. I'm sure plenty really think "they are just towel heads not real people so who cares".

Anyone up for some more conspiracy stuff?
As you can see in the first pic the guy is wearing a black backpack and you can see that something inside is making the bag push outward. http://www.members.optushome.com.au/gpahl/fishy01.jpg Then in the second pic he isn't wearing it and could possibly be holding it in his hands out of view, maybe getting ready to place it on the ground without bringing any attention to himself. http://www.members.optushome.com.au/gpahl/fishy02.jpg What do you think? |

|
Would it hurt so much for the guy to be questioned about it anyway? So long as law enforcement are civil about it - which, let's face it, is unlikely - but surely it'd at least give the guy a chance to offer an explanation.
Of course, we all know they'll go in already having decided he did it and give the guy no chances whatsoever. |
law enforcement have already said they're trying to identify the guy that runs away.
|
His dark complexion raises a few eyebrows.
|
He is a darkie and acting strange, straight to guantanamo imo

So Texas blew up recently too.
A massive fertilizer explosion. Apparently leveled 60 buildings. It was a fertilizer plant so probably not bomb related. |
^ up to 70 dead with hundreds injured
http://www.theage.com.au/world/up-to-70-feared-dead-in-fertiliser-plant-explosion-20130418-2i22f.html Up to 70 people have been reported dead in a fertiliser plant explosion near Waco, Texas. The Emergency Medical Services director in the town of West, Dr George Smith, told the local KWTX station as many as 60 or 70 people had died and hundreds were injured in the blast on Wednesday night. Paul Gately of KWTX told Australia's ABC news the town looked "like a warzone". Fire had spread from the plant to a junior high school, a nursing home and several other houses, he said. |
DERD, PLEASE GEURD OUT OF HEREEEEEEE
|
Is this another attack ?
The FBI assault on the Branch Dividians was fire and explosions. |
How did those people in the video not get blown to smithereens?
|
How did those people in the video not get blown to smithereens? The explosion wasn't THAT big lol. It was the shockwave that did most of the damage I'd bet. That's why that annoying kid went "deaf". There would have been plenty of shrapnel, but even at that distance, I doubt they would have had a huge chance of being hit short of a freak 2x4 or something. Had they been closer, sure. But it's not like a wall of shrapnel or something. Also, in before "darkies spotted near the plant with black backpacks and 'army gear' " lol. |

Actually the explosion was probably equal to about 20 tons of amil nitrate. |
Seen a map of the area? Holy s*** they must dislike zoning.
|
amil nitrate i prefer amyl nitrate |
the kid was also saying "dad i can't hear", maybe he can hear but the shock of the explosion muffled his hearing temporarily? would be f***ed if he was completely deaf after that.
|
Actually the explosion was probably equal to about 20 tons of amil nitrate. I'm not saying it wasn't a big bang, it was. I'm saying that it wasn't big enough to kill them from 800+ meters away. As for the kids hearing, it's probably just ruptured ear-drums at the worst. He'll probably be ok soon enough. |
the kid was also saying "dad i can't hear", maybe he can hear but the shock of the explosion muffled his hearing temporarily? would be f***ed if he was completely deaf after that.

I think/hope that given that the video was posted fairly quickly, that means everything was relatively ok for them, and they weren't in an ER somewhere... I really doubt it. I'd bet my nut it was just busted eardrums, so he was probably in and out and fine otherwise. |
Yeah no biggy. Only a five-block area and 70 or so collapsed buildings ...
|
holy s***, did fire make it all the way out to the car or is that some kind of distortion in the image?

it's much closer than 800m away. Ok, I'm saying that it wasn't big enough to kill them x00+ meters away :P I tend to over-quote numbers in video as in my own experience, things tend to be far further than they appear in video. |

FBI are looking closer at two men wearing caps and carrying backpacks...

WASHINGTON—In the wake of Monday’s terrorist bombing at the Boston Marathon, sources reported today the internet had come up with approximately 8.5 million leads on who might have committed the deadly terrorist attack. According to reports, in the hours and days since the bombing that killed 3 and injured countless others, internet users quickly took to social media sites, online news comment sections, and personal blogs to examine the evidence related to the crime and are, at press time, investigating over 8 million potential suspects.

His name has been released, and a 20 block perimeter established, no where to run mate ... https://www.facebook.com/RangerUpFanPage?fref=ts Missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi has just been confirmed as the person they are looking forhttp://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/boston-10-3.jpg?w=640&h=354 A bullet went through this guy's office chair: https://twitter.com/AKitz (pics) Boston police scanner: http://tunein.com/radio/Boston-Police-Fire-and-EMS-Scanner-s146109/ Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1cnwms/mods_removed_thread_live_updates_of_boston/ LiveLeak videos http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b1a_1366351370 |
Thats their lives over.
Now for the motive ? |
WHDH is reporting that suspect taken to hospital has died of injuries. Second suspect still at large http://www1.whdh.com/video/7newslive
It appears the guy they showed being arrested on the ground was not the suspect. |
Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi. Suspect 2 was a missing Brown student.
Wait so their names aren't Muhammad Kareem Mustapha Abdul Jabber El Bami and Ahmed Mahmood Abdul Hakeem El terroristani? S***! |
lol Faceman, at first I read
Thats their lives over. Now for the movie ? |
I had a friend with almost that exact name, but there was a Punjabi in there somewhere so he just introduced himself as Punjab. Another mate was gurbash singh, somehow shortened to Bobby.
I'm surprised the bombers were still in the vicinity. |
Boston Police are about to do a press conference.
I read a report they are going to suspend the search for a couple hours until sunrise, area to remained cordoned. Could be a ruse. Residents are warned to stay away from windows and to not answer the door. They also have bomb robots looking for more bombs. |
Multiple motion detectors were set off in a commercial building so SWAT is surrounding it. They're also doing sweeps behind people's houses.
From WHDH ... and twitter WHDH just broadcast the police press conference. They released images of suspect #2 robbing a 7/11 a few hours ago, and all they said about #suspect 1 was that he was in a critical condition, but earlier reports said he's dead. |
Earlier on the scanner they were instructing officers entering 89 Dexter Ave Watertown to not use their radios, later they mentioned finding a box with wires there.
The action now is somewhere near Dexter Ave and School St, they're not being terribly specific Someone on the scanner just said "get down on your knees" omgomg edit: nah false alarm I think there are douchebags hanging around the area |
Bomb dogs going to 540 Memorial Drive just down the road from MIT
Some guy need something at Laurel and Dexter And the Arsenal Mall right nearby is about to be opened up for the day :/ On the radios they mentioned they've gotten reports that a Mac Truck at the Harvard Business School (next to the shopping center) and a construction crew elsewhere looked suspicious. *sigh* |
Suspect 2 is vegetarian...
I f*****g knew it... Something more evil and disgusting than fundamentalist's... Veggie eaters... |
argh some reporters are saying 1 suspect is dead and other reporters are saying he's in custody.
|
wtf, there's like a major chase/shoot-out going down with these suspects:
BBC Live feed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22213651 It's confirmed, 1 is dead, 1 is at large and currently being manhunted. |
What the hell is going on in Boston and in America?
|
Hospital press conference confirmed suspect #1 died at 1.35am, (4 hours ago)
Hospital was notified at 01:10 local time that a patient was coming in with multiple injuries. He arrived at 01:20 - at that point he was in a "traumatic arrest" undergoing CPR. At 1:35 he was pronounced dead. His injuries included gun shot and blast wounds with shrapnel. |
Bullet came through this guy's wall and his chair. If only he'd had a gun then he'd be safe from stray bullets. :/

Vegetarian means most likely Hindu ... and the surname is Indian ... odd.
|
Heard earlier from an AlJazera reporter that after they lost their first jacked car, they took another one, and drove around with the driver in the car with them for about 30 minutes, releasing him at the 711.
|
Vegetarian means most likely Hindu ... and the surname is Indian ... odd. nar, he was a hippy paki taxi driver |
Boston public transport shut down. If you are at a station you should go home. Don't congregate in groups. Watertown businesses told not to open. (30,000 people told to) Shelter in place.
|
Apparently a suspect has been trying to flag down a taxi. That'd be kind of silly thing to do if you are on the run.
|
They arrested 3 people in a taxi, not sure whats going on but they seemed excited.
|
According to this scanner the people in custody may not be the suspect.
|
Apparently according to WHDH "The suspects are legal residents in the United States from Turkey. They have been here one year".
They are brothers. They've named the remaining guy as: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev NBC recons they are Chechens from Turkey. |
Lots of chatter on the police radio, but they're going to all different places, no idea if this manhunt is still on or what
The suspects are Chechnian brothers from Turkey and they have other names than what people have been saying.... Dzhokar Tsarnaev or some s*** |
Chechans ?
i wondered if they wernt Lashkar-e-Taiba the group that did Mumbai. |
Bomb squad just detonated a pipe bomb
|
Silly terrorists should have bought an automatic rifle... 3 dead, could of had 100s dead with a good assault rifle and a few clips.
|
Bomb creates more terror.
I dont know how at 19 you can throw your life away like that. So many fine chickas, partying, drugs, rock n roll. 3rd man been arrested Fox News claims. |
I was thinking, 5 bombs ?
If they only carried one each where are the other bomb carriers ? |
New press conference, they said that because of new information that has come in the 'shelter-in-place' lockdown is being extended to all of Boston.
|
apparently the guy that had his legs blown off was the person that identified the bombers.
|
i'd be pissing my self if that was happening next door.
|
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal's festival of bad ad hoc evolutionary hypotheses at MIT has been cancelled, things have gone too far.
|
The 19 year old who is still on the run was shown on a mobile phone just before the bombs went off. I wonder who was giving orders on the other end of the phone.
|
From what I can gather from the police broadcasts, the action is happening in the streets around here:
https://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=42.366178,-71.161897 |
"the subject is posting online that he's going to kill everyone because we killed his brother" - police scanner
edit: https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_A seems like a hoax, as if the guy is sitting there spamming twitter |
looks pretty fake, 7 tweets, following 1.
|
i'd be pissing my self if that was happening next door. I had a full Aussie-equivalent swat team bust down the door of my old neighbours house with dogs and assault rifles + full assault gear. My bedroom window was literally a meter away from basically that exact scene, except they were wearing black and on the ground lol. Of course, my ex-neighbour was the VP of the local Rebels chapter, so s*** like that was always happening. Nice bloke, though. Always gave us free eggs and stuff. |
Don't know if adding to this morbidity is the best idea, but, this is apparently the guy dropping the bag, and the kid who died (his sister in green next to him lost her legs).

Man they've f***ed it up, Lockdown lifted, guy still on the loose. How did this happen? On COPS If they sent one fat cop and a cameraman after him, they'd get him.
|
More rapid fire gunshots. It might be over.
|
According to multiple reports he may be held up under a boat in a family residence. There were initial shots fired from both sides but then they shot some dummy rounds and gas. Something about ripping the boat off is now happening.
|
I saw video of one of the shootouts and it was pretty hectic, like over 100 shots in a minute or so!
|
Tac team moving in, and radio silence is in effect.
This kid'll die, leaving every loony free to speculate over the whole mess. |
Danny V â€@dannysuperstar 1m |
Cops have only just now figured out that their radio chatter for the past 18+ hours has been streaming online. They're talking abuot cutting it off.
EDIT: Not the audio, but something to do with the Helicopter currently in use... |
Dislocated shoulder in that autopsy pic
|
Doesn't like western way of life, blows up children...
|
Yeah Creepy there is a helicopter downlink where you can see images from the chopper. I don't know how to access that.
Here's the boat: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BIQNbFBCAAEBs2l.jpg:large |
Dislocated shoulder in that autopsy pic *IF* that's real, it would be related to the incident report, that claimed that the younger brother drove over the guy when getting away... |
Thank f***, I'm tired and sore from listening to this s*** since yesterday afternoon
|
*IF* that's real, it would be related to the incident report, that claimed that the younger brother drove over the guy when getting away... That's what I thought. Or being handled roughly while cuffed. Either way, insignificant in comparison to the other injuries/wounds. The opening on his ribs is consistent with the doctor's report I read earlier this morning The trauma team put a breathing tube in Tsarnaev’s throat, Dr. Schoenfeld said, then cut open his chest to see if blood or other fluid was collecting around his heart. Tsarnaev’s handcuffs were removed at some point during the resuscitation attempt, he said, because “when the patient is in cardiac arrest and we’re doing all these procedures, we need to be able to move their arms around.†Do a search for the post at 3:55pm |
Do a search for the post at 3:55pm I dunno, doesn't look like a surgical cut, it's nasty looking. Looks like a chunk of flesh was torn off and a machete used to break through his ribs (not literally). The only thing that makes me think surgeon is the skin looks discoloured around the edge of it which looks like disinfectant / betadine type stuff. Also, does the skin look off to you around that? Almost looks like he's made of foam or something lol. There's no blood around the cut flesh, almost looks fake, or it was done after his heart had stopped. |
Looks like we got him. Well done everybody!
|
Looks like we got him. Well done everybody! I did what I could, was hard work. Looks like I deserve another twinkie. |
Does anyone else feel like you simply can't trust what MSM is 'reporting' to everyone?
You have MSM saying one thing, alternative sites saying something else.. and there is really nothing to prove what is truth and whats a lie. Best thing to do is to /ignore. |
Good to see an interview with the originally named guys, assuming the one that was the missing brown student actually turns up
|
So now that they've caught this guy, does CNN or FOX know yet which violent video games he prefers to play?
|
Goole image search "emergency thoracotomy"
Re the cut on his side |
So now that they've caught this guy, does CNN or FOX know yet which violent video games he prefers to play? Duh, Doom... Goole image search "emergency thoracotomy"Re the cut on his side Guess they were in a rush, looked like a real hack job (the skin doesn't seem cut, but torn off almost) |
that episode of homeland seemed to go for ever

http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=boyle8DFDB2A0-B4FC-1C08-B36F-EF6564D139DF.jpg&width=600 Glen Beck claims to have info on the Saudi guy that was originally held by Police and has given the government till Monday to tell the public who he is. |
Beck must have been pissed when that saudi wet dream fizzled.
It must be tough for them, it's foreign while also domestic, muslim but also white. |
Glen Beck claims to have info on the Saudi guy that was originally held by Police and has given the government till Monday to tell the public who he is. That'd be kind of a d*** move. If they let him go, then chances are they didn't have a shred of evidence. What will "telling the public who he is" do besides get a witch-hunt started on the guy. |
Bit more here:
http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/nation/boston-bombings-a-us-cover-up-glenn-beck-threatens-to-expose-government-ruse Theres a video there but Beck doesnt actually give anything away. |

The ambassador of The Czech Republic has released a statement saying that The Czech Republic is not Chechnya
|
^ hahahaOne day Austrians will attack someone and Bob Carr will release a similar statement.I weep for humanity. Back when I was in the RAAF I was posted to St Louis as part of the F-18 procurement program. We often got requests for information about Australia as well as personal visits to schools in the area. Off we went to a local high school to talk about Australia. The teacher and students were gobsmacked.. At the end they thanked us and remarked that we spoke very good English for people from Austria....... Despite having a world map and pointing out where Australia is..... |
Haha. Is that the Asian actor from the hang over movies? it's the changnesia, he doesn't remember how to open gates. |
The Onion wins again: Study: Majority Of Americans Not Informed Enough To Stereotype Chechens

edit - on second perusal of the thread, seems i got my R poster's mixed up. meant ravnos, maybe it is a symptom of my changesia |
Or that time at the G20 where the little Gillard doll was brunette and dressed in traditional Austrian garb. The only part they got right was the face, to be fair it was a pretty good likeness.
|
The ambassador of The Czech Republic has released a statement saying that The Czech Republic is not Chechnyathis was the top mini-headline on NYTimes.com yesterday. I seriously had to double check and make sure I wasn't looking at the Onion. |
Czechs and Chechens... from the bombing day on they were always together, they were like peas and carrots.
|
<-- already sick of the 'government did it' conspiracies
A lot of the "overwhelming evidence" is simply misreported info from early in the manhunt. These people spreading this s*** are the same ones that had solved the crime with the help of 4chan earlier in the week, but there isn't an ounce of shame from that at all... |
I just dont see how the suspects (yes I know they shot at the cops) got killed/so f***ed up
We have a gunman in the mall, bean bag rounds hell, the armed forces can storm a building a take all people alive (or at least that is what some are ie gsg 9) so a case of passion overriding the need for real answers? |
US cops don't use beanbags on terrorists. Once they have a suspected terrorist in their sights they are looking to drop em on the spot.
|
US cops don't use beanbags on terrorists. Once they have a suspected terrorist in their sights they are looking to drop em on the spot. they were citizens, they knew this, seems lazy, and give conspiracies nuts some traction |
If your a cop and two terrorists just unloaded more than 80 rounds at you and a pipe bomb, would you shoot beanbags at them?
|
Citizen or not, one of the duo did kill a cop, plus you have the derka derka, previous bombs, proximity to NYC, plus America in general :). So, Context.
I just dont see how the suspects (yes I know they shot at the cops) got killed/so f***ed up This is interesting and I guess goes to the heart of what makes us Aussies Vs the Yanks. The guy in the Mall had a good discussion with the cops and personally I reckon they bean bag shot him as a less-sucky way for him to get out of a very bad situation with face. Comfortable Racism aside, I would take even money that if the bloke in the mall had been your typical boogieman Middle Easterner, I think that in that kind of circumstance the cops could show the same or similar compassion towards him. The yanks are a bit trigger happy at the moment. The Onion explains this far better than I could :). |
If your a cop and two terrorists just unloaded more than 80 rounds at you and a pipe bomb, would you shoot beanbags at them? if you're a cop, and terrorists shoot at you, contain the area, call for backup, why the f*** risk being kill for being a hero, (or in this case kill a guy, and lose the chance to get info) |
Transcript of the initial court proceedings against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: UNITED STATES V. DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV. Criminal Action No. 13-MJ-02016-MBB
He's "alert, mentally competent, and lucid. He is aware of the nature of the proceedings", he nods for the affirmative and can say what the court believes is "No.". |
The ambassador of The Czech Republic has released a statement saying that The Czech Republic is not Chechnya haha, reminds me of TWW ep where someone mistakes Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan: Kazakhstan is a country four times the size of Texas and has a sizable number of former Russian missile silos. |
So what was the bombshell Glenn Beck was crowing about?
|
That his ratings reached an all new high, and then he wept.
|
It's like the love child of Drew Carey and Ed Helms
|
just once I would like someone who carries out a mass shooting or bombing or hijacking to have a film crew follow them around for a few months before they do it, so they can prove what they did, how / why etc...
Actually I have heard of someone doing this when they made crop circles or something like that, and once they revealed the video of how it was planned and done, all the facemen decided that the video was all part of the alien conspiracy too, or that someone had "got to them". |
