  If these guys had nothing to do with it they wou;ld have turned up to clear their names.But since they haven't come forward you can bet they want out of the country and fast.What the hell are the chances that nobody knows these guys or has even ever seen these guys?

HuH? Lets see, a black president who has already arrested a you-tube film-maker because it was politically convenient, now fingers two random white guys out of the crowd.  Oh yeah, there is a fair trial coming there. Just like Zimmerman was going to get a "fair trial" - Nope, I don't think refusing to come forward to "clear" your name is applicable or rational  when dealing with Liberals hell bent on finding a patsy in a witch hunt. Even if innocent I might be leaving the country just because I didn't want to be convicted of a crime I didn't commit just because it would help Borat out.

This is the one that really get's to me.



Internet sleuths discovered this photo of eight year-old bomb victim Martin Richard standing near bombing Suspect #2 (in the white cap) shortly before the bomb blast. Martin Richard was killed in the blast. His little sister standing next to him lost a limb.

More chaos in Boston this evening. One officer killed. Machine gun fire was supposedly heard by someone.

Update, 1:40 a.m. EST: Police responded briefly to a report of shots fired at a local children’s hospital, but are confirming over their radios now that “no shots were fired” at the hospital. Police are also saying “we do not have a second suspect in custody,” according to the police scanner. They are actively looking now for a second suspect.

Update, 1:20 a.m. EST: “We’ve got a second suspect in custody,” one officer says over the police radio. He then added: “We’re not sure it’s him.”

Update, 1: 14 a.m. EST: MIT police say one suspect is in custody, but another may be at large. Officers were told over the radio to turn off their cellphones for fear of detonating explosive devices nearby.

“CP — to all units in area — power down all cellphones for fear of explosion,” a commanding officer said over the radio. “”Power down your cellphones from a safe distance.”

Update, 1:00 a.m. EST: At least one heavily armed assailant with “grenades” and “explosives” and firing “automatic gunfire” is loose near MIT’s campus, according to police dispatchers and the school’s emergency website, and police say are looking for “dark-skinned” and possibly “Middle Eastern” suspects. (Listen to the feed here)

According to a live audio feed from MIT police, an officer has been shot in the arm and taken to the hospital. Suspects with grenades and explosives apparently stole the officer’s gun and a “state police SUV,” according to officials talking on the police radio, and may have stormed a nearby convenience store.

“They have explosives, [and] some type of grenade. Shots fired, shots fired. Loud explosion. Loud explosion — shots fired, shots fired,” one officer says.

Officers could be heard screaming on their radio for backup officers “with long guns” at 12:55 a.m. EST.

Multiple media outlets have reported that at least one police officer has died.

Hair-raising reports coming in from a Boston Police scanner indicate that a report of a second officer down” and “definitely hand grenades and automatic gunfire.”

“Responding agencies are actively investigating the situation, which remains very fluid at this time,” campus police officials wrote at 12:28 a.m. “Police continue to sweep the campus.  Stay indoors and remain inside until further notice.”

“We’re going to try to block them in in an alley,” one officer says on the radio at 11:34 p.m. “They’re both armed with firearms. They both paid cash at the shell station, then fled towards Harvard square. … Only one firearm was displayed.”

“[Suspects are] dark-skinned and one’s Middle Eastern,” another officer said over the radio. The Daily Caller has been unable to confirm the suspects’ ethnicities, and no other officers referenced a Middle Eastern suspect on the radio.

An earlier update on MIT’s website said gunshots had been fired.

“At 10:48 p.m. gunshots were reported near Building 32 (Stata) which is currently surrounded by responding agencies. The area is cordoned off. Please stay clear of area until further notice. Unknown if injuries have occurred. Although the situation is considered active and extremely dangerous, an investigation is underway. Updates will be provided at this site when more information becomes available.”

Serious craziness being reported/tweeted.

They are talking about backpacks and unexploded ordinance. Stuff like that.

I guess this is the follow up operation held in reserve in case the Senate failed to do as required. Already the sock puppets are posting comments on articles about the MIT shooting along the lines of "Well are you happy now you Tea Party obstructionists?! President Obama needs to just overrule the 2nd Amendment and ban these things!"

Now granted, the 24 48 72 hour rule is still in effect, but so far one detail that seems to have emerged is that the fallen MIT officer was shot with his own gun, which the perpetrator took from him.

[trapeze]

I can't say that I am surprised that after releasing the photos of the bombers they got an actionable lead this quickly. Lots and lots of speculation going on with the media right now about what happened and in what order. One of the things being said is that the MIT police officer who was killed "inadvertently" ran into one of the suspects. Who f'n knows? They are just spewing anything to prevent dead air while they broadcast.

They have one suspect in custody. That is supposed to be ironclad fact.

They think there is at least one additional suspect still at large. That is conjecture based on the actions of law enforcement.

That would account for both bombers but what if there are more of them?

Hot night in Beantown.

I would not attribute any of the reported explosions (and they did happen) to actual bombs. The police have been detonating suspected bombs and that is going to account for at least some of what has been heard and reported.

An MIT police officer was shot dead late last night on the MIT campus and an MBTA officer was wounded early this morning in a second encounter in Watertown in a wild scene that involved explosives as well as gunfire, police said.

State police spokesman David Procopio said police were investigating whether there was a connection between the shootings and the Marathon bombings. By 2:30 a.m., Procopio said that two suspects were in custody in Watertown, but police were still actively searching for more suspects.

"We don't know how many suspects there are," Procopio said.

Dozens of police who had converged on the MIT scene near Kendall Square after the shooting there around 10:48 p.m. raced toward Watertown shortly before 1 a.m. this mornin,g toward an armed standoff with suspects in the Arsenal Street area, where heavily armed SWAT teams and uniformed cops with their handguns drawn were actively searching for suspects.

This could, of course, go on until dawn and well after that. It's impossible to say how these things will work out. I am encouraged that they have captured at least one of the bastards alive. Hoping that they get any others alive, as well. Need some answers.

Initial reports that I saw on FNC were saying that there was NO connection to the bombers. That these guys were involved in a robbery of some kind. As I said earlier, lots and lots of bad info and speculation.

FBI is supposed to be now saying that one person in custody is NOT one of the bombing suspects. Maybe another conspirator? Who knows?

In a nutshell, the story is supposed to be that there was an incident at the MIT campus (where I guess an officer was shot and killed) and then there was some sort of a car chase that may or may not have involved a carjacking which led police to Watertown. That's supposed to be more or less how we got to this point.

If you little pissant throwbacks, with your reverence for dead white men from the 18th century, would just get with the program and give up all your rights and property all of this could have been prevented. We could all spend our days unicornback riding in the lollipop forest if you obstructionists would let the qualified experts from the government make decisions for you, they are far more knowledgeable. But no, you so badly cannot stand the color of this president's skin that to see him fail you will cut off your noses to spite your faces. These bombings would never have happened if the gun show loophole had been closed. Eleventy!

[trapeze]

FNC has, for reasons only they could possibly understand, have that Judge Napolitano guy on the phone doing color commentary. Just spouting whatever nonsense comes to mind to fill otherwise dead air. They have this big standoff now and nothing is happening so they have to just flap their jaws to keep people tuned in. To make matters worse, since this is happening at 3AM, they have the FNC "B" or "C" team on duty. They obviously woke up Napolitano to chat it up. Geraldo must have needed his beauty sleep or something. I would rather hear from Mark Furman if I have to listen to someone who doesn't really know what's going on.

They (the MFM) don't know hardly anything. All they know is that there are a lot of flashing lights and cops with body armor and black rifles running around. The perimeter is four blocks (at least) so the press can't really see anything.

Boston police have identified the two men as suspects in a string of violent incidents outside of Boston as Mike Mulugeta and Sunil Tripathi.

The Boston Globe is reporting that police that the men are the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, and one of them is in custody while the other remains on the loose.

Tripathi, 22, is a missing Brown University student who disappeared on March 16. The FBI joined the search of him on March 25.

The naming of the suspects comes after a string of incidents near MIT's campus in Cambridge, Mass., that left one MIT police officer dead. At one point at least 25 gunshots heard in the span on a minute or two.

"Sunil has been struggling with depression since he took a leave of absence from Brown last year," a public Facebook page set up by his family said. "A note suggestive of suicidal intent left behind in his apartment has his family extremely worried."

The Tripathi guy is supposed to (maybe) be the suspect wearing the white hat. Who knows?

Drudge, BTW, has slept through this whole thing. Not a single update. As if it wasn't happening. He really is a one man operation.

[trapeze]

Saw on Breitbart that supposedly one suspect is room temperature.

Gotta get some sleep.

[BigAlSouth]

Good morning all.

Latest is that "White Hat Guy" still at large and other "suspect" in the custody of the morgue.

Bet they kill both of them. How convenient.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/19/17817173-one-boston-marathon-suspect-dead-another-still-on-run-officials-say?lite

The suspect at large — believed to be the man who physically placed the bags containing the homemade bombs which killed 3 and injured 170 on Monday — was described as "dressed in a grey hoodie, light skinned male, brown curly hair."

Law enforcement sources said the suspects have international links and have been in the country legally for about a year.

Well now, at least they can't finger Tea Party activists.

Chechen Russian suspects, brothers are suspects. One dead another on the running low, running on empty? Pricks probably claiming asylum for entry into country. Yes, another pair of Musloids that Obama.s state department allowed into country without giving any serious thought as to the dangers they pose. Freaking asshats got their just dessert and people died. Now, can we ban this cult?

Sadly I knew the answer to that question too. It just got to me to see the Richard family cheering their father on and within an instant their lives changed forever.

Since 1972 (even though I was a kid) and seeing the muslims taking the Israelis Olympians hostage I knew then we could not coexist with them.

While the Americans and Jews are making profound discoveries in the sciences the muslims were inventing bombs laced with rat poison, nails, screws,ball bearings etc. to cause the greatest human carriage.  I pray for the families that have been effected and I pray for Gods swift Judgement on these monsters.

That will be The Iconic picture from this whole thing, when all is said and done.  The elderly guy that went down was moving but my God, the boy and his sister, standing in front of the bomber....
