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

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

I don't understand that either, it seems pretty impulsive to me. It doesn't quite pass the smell test. I tend to think there may be more players here then we know. Maybe in order to secure the identities of the other players maybe this might be diversionary play utilizing otherwise used up assets. Or could be they got spooked at their safe house and decided to bolt. Or maybe a little of both. Its hard to say till we get more info. Most of what I am throwing out at this point is pure speculation.

it's a very fluid situation.

i got to stop watching the news for a couple of hours before i go nuts!! lol.

Really? Huh. The eyewitness said that they threw a pressure cooker bomb at cops, then the dead brother ran straight at them and surrendered (not apparently before he was shot) which allowed white hat to jump in a vehicle and drive right through the police line. Certainly possible he hit his brother on the way out.

Yeah that doesn't make sense.. seems like big bro decided to go suicide bomber to give lil bro a chance to do more damage.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

You thinking somebody knew something before hand?

Before what? The bombing - no. There's too much to speculate on. If they're Chechen with a history of fighting I'd guess they've been monitored by the Russian and/or American gov's.

Russian maybe.. US not so much unless in Afghanistan or Iraq in the past.

I phrased that poorly. Either Russia was aware of their history or both were.

Thinking about it now, maybe the Russians gave us a heads up on who these guys were because they already had them in their system and maybe a assigned somebody to monitor them occasionally. These guys are part of a larger cell or group. They get wind they be compromised so that's what spooks them into action.

The hospital coroner examing the body said it was full of shrapnel wounds. Did the cooker bomb go off?

"...26 year old Tameran(?), born in Russia, came here with his family over a decade ago"... is the dead suspect number one. Thats what I'm hearing about suspect #1.

There were definitely explosions going off during the main firefight.

The entire city of Boston is under lock down, holy ****.

That is a lot of territory. This may be a while finding this kid, if they do at all.

Thats right, I forgot about the grenades. I wonder where they got those from.

Heres are our man AP: At large bombing suspect is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. so for all the posters that complain about a lack of racial profiling the irony is that this person is as Caucasian as they come.

I hope our Bostonian posters are keeping their heads down

They are also looking for random bombs the suspects left behind. I think they've already found and detonated a couple of pipe bombs already.

Great, now we gotta go to war with Chechnya.

Well we have been arming the Russians for some time so you could say its the ultimate preemptive war.

No need to worry about the American response to this - Putin just got the green light to do whatever he wants in Chechnya. It won't be pretty.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

It's a mindset most don't understand. They were/are trained killers. thru and thru. the fact as kids, they were raised in Chechnya.. you got stone cold killers.
I just remembered there was a chechen male teen who went on a shooting rampage at Trolley Square in SLC a few years ago (2007?). He too was a refugee with permanent residency but he wasn't a trained a killer. He was just a depressed and disillusioned teenager still in HS and probably felt alienated...but who knows really because he was killed in the shootout. But investigators found no ties to foreign terrorists or military training with him...just mental illness.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Yeah black hat guy is definitely the one that was apprehended and killed. White hat guy on the run. Naked guy just random bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naked guy has a good reason to be pretty pissed off. Haha.

Maybe he was a rubber necker and it's his own fault. Should have listened to the police and stayed home?
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

FTR, CNN is interviewing one of the suspect's old friends from high school. I think the interview is almost over though.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

Based on the police presence, I think this guy just got 6 stars on GTA: Boston
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

If this guy is not a pro he is making the FBI and everyone look like idiots. They better hope he is a pro. I hope he just a lucky idiot who's luck has run out.

It's easy to judge sitting safe at home with no bullets or bombs to deal with.
