Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83,846]

Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Perhaps, but I think it originated from a rumor that started on Reddit last night. Sunil went missing a few weeks ago and he kind of looks like white hat guy, so people started speculating and it got out of hand.

It was a name used by BPD on the scanner earlier.

I know that was reported, but I'm wondering if it was accurate. If it was accurate, I'm wondering how the BPD officer who said that got that name. Who knows - info about that will probably come out later.

They just detonated a pipe bomb.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

So ... nobody saw Russians coming, eh? LOL
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

NPR reports the 2 bombers are brothers from chechnya.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Despite the many rumors flying around twitter and other social media sources, no arrests have been made. What is now known is that the suspects are brothers. Law enforcement is still seeking one suspect. More personnel, including National Guard personnel, are arriving in areas adjacent to Watertown.

meh, I figured that the field was wide open, and would not discount anyone. Now if it were Martians - that one I would not have seen coming.

edit: and I am still taking the Chechnyan Id with a grain of salt as well.

Here is the apparent profile of white hat guy (the one who's still alive) on a Russian social network: Djohar Tsarnaev

If you're this guy what do you do with the rest of your weekend?

Preferably something in clothes I'd bet.

They aren't Russian, Chechen. Chechen's have been tied to Al-Qaeda in the past. Some of the most vicious fighters in the world.

Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Looks like they have a red brick building surrounded with every cop in Mass....This guy isn't going anywhere.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Red building cleared...SWAT leaving. Building was at Norfolk & Cambridge.

Apparently, dude received a scholarship to Cambridge Rindge and Latin School where he was a wrestler.

These people are always so freaking normal.

I still can't believe he escaped a shootout with dozens of cops in an area with hundreds by simply jumping in a car and driving right past/through them. This is the stuff of movies, not real life.

Get a literary agent and start figuring out how much I can make on the book deal. :)
