Just announcd on TV: From BHO's desk "Do not fire!" Does this mean he's ready to surrender?

I doubt it. He could've surrendered a long time ago. I think he's interested in taking as many with him as he can.

I wonder if he feels bad about the possibility of killing his own brother.

I think he's probably feeling bad all over. Anyway, he probably thought his brother already dead.

CNN...weren't they the ones that first reported it was a Saudi National here on a student visa? They're as bad as the NYPost.

No, they did not report that. They reported a Saudi national was being questioned at the hospital. That was true.

Is there still police action on Franklin Street?

No, they wrapped it up. Popped some drug dealer that got knifed in a drug deal gone bad.

He has what he needs for an enhanced explosion, if that's his goal.

If true, to have that kind of mindset at 19 years of age is sad! :shock: What sort of terrible life has he had before now to harbor that attitude?

I'm thinking this was all due to the influence of his older brother. But of course that's a first blush thing.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Armed movement whatever that means; sounds like they are going to floodlight the boat and put the sniper on him

It is sad. 19 year olds are terribly impressionable, but close enough to adulthood that they will not be dissuaded from embracing the nuttiest things. I imagine his older brother had a lot to do with that, and his older brother no doubt served as a surrogate father figure for him.

I know. Its sad how young he is and I kind think he must be a normal kid in some way. I wonder if he is scared right now at all.

People around that age can be pretty effed up if they allow themselves to be...........................

Police chopper won't light up the boat until they get some distance away

He sounds like he's a soldier. Hundreds of thousands, millions, of American 19 year olds have had a similar mindset; their objective being the protection of liberty and justice, obviously.
