The police still have to catch him to look good. After all, the whole world is watching.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

CNN reporting he's alive.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

I wonder if there's fuel in that boat. That would not be good.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Hmm, I didn't think about him possibly getting away by boat. Thats not an option in Utah.

I believe the boat is on a trailer in the back yard. Not in the water.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Negative movement on boat now.

He's gonna bleed out. I think he was previously shot, as well.

Don't go so
overboard with being PC that you lose the ability to think rationally. These guys were/are Muslim extremists, any way you slice it. The fact that anyone believes that that it is somehow insensitive to state this fact out loud is a poor reflection on our society, in my opinion.

We don't really know if they are Muslim extremists in the same sense of the Taliban. I haven't seen anything on the news that they support Muslim extremism in that sense.

We just know they are Chechen and they probably support the separatist movement for Chechnya.

I don't really associate extreme sexism, women shouldn't have rights, and hatred for the west with Chechnya. They have never attacked America before to my knowledge, and these kids appear acting on their own.


The purpose of their violence is extremely confusing, given America has nothing to do with Russia's policy on Chechnya. I am really confused by the message and motive behind their act of terror given their ethnic background and the history concerning American politics.

It they went to Russia and set off bombs it make a little more sense to me at the moment.


With that said, I am really ****ing happy these people aren't going to get away, which is the most important news in this thread.

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.

Yes, me too. One look at his brother and it would be difficult to believe he wasn't shot and full of shrapnel , too.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

It is a 40 gal tank half full on the boat per radio

I think the older brother was radicalized by Islamic jiihadists when he visited Russia for six months. He just returned last November....plenty of time to build an arsenol and make bombs.

I hope he is taken alive. Maybe he can give everybody some answers.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Bang no movement
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)[W: 83]

Is that gun fire? I can't tell if their showing last nights shootout or it's another one.


Are they pumping the boat full of holes? Swiss cheese comes to mind.

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

Second flashbang no movement
