Boston update (Page 3)

The Boston PD/FBI has done a great job of not letting the media know what they are doing in their investigation.  If there is anyone who has watched this coverage that doesn't understand why it has to be this way.....just go back and look at the complete fabrications that the media will put out in the interest of a "scoop"....or who knows what.

I know there are people who say, "well, if you gave out the information they wouldn't have to speculate".....but that is simply not the case.  The media today is nothing but constant speculation, so no matter what you give them they will take it to a level you didn't give them.  It screws up investigations, which are usually VERY time sensitive. 

Still, it is pretty entertaining listening to these nitwits.

19-Apr-2013 09:47 - MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE SAY WILL CONDUCT DOOR-TO-DOOR, HOUSE-TO-HOUSE SEARCH IN WATERTOWN
19-Apr-2013 09:49 - MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE WARN PEOPLE IN WATERTOWN NOT TO ANSWER THEIR DOORS DUE TO "FLUID SITUATION"

You mean like the Ft Hood shooter?  So we can spend 3-1/2 years arguing about if we should shave his beard or not?  Nope.  Put him down like a dog.

I'm glad you aren't in-charge of anything.

I want this kid caught and questioned.  We need to know if this is a one-off attack by two kids or a case of some Chechens deciding to extend their war to the US.  

The Chechnya/Russia conflict has been one of the most horrific on both sides to include Chechens cutting heads off of Russian soldiers and videotaping it and posting it to the internet (Some of us have been unfortunate enough to have seen and heard that one, me in a Military course).

The Russians haven't been innocent, they formed Flamethrower Battalions and burned schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings with one known terrorist and dozens of civilians in it.  

I disagree to a certain extent.  I'd like to have one alive and get information from him.. especially if he's part of a bigger conspiracy like AQ or some other terrorist group or is it just an isolated case.

And this is the problem I have with the media. He wrote something that didn't "positively identify" anyone. Then we get hearsay from his brother and the FBI won't comfirm or deny. That does not equal a positive ID.

I just wish the media and the court of public opinion would wait for facts rather than feed on speculation.

But yes, as LB said they aren't exactly making a great case for themselves, but at the same time maybe they understand how the court of public opinion can work here. Everyone was desperate for a suspect and an arrest. If I saw my pic on the internet as the main suspect and I was not a legal citizen and I was afraid of being made a scapegoat I don't know that I would be turning myself in johnny on the spot either. 

Of course this all may be moot, it may be proven that they were both guilty but from what I have seen so far there is no proof. 

He won't be a prisoner of war.....he doesn't have to say a word.  Dead or alive, the information gained in the investigation will be virtually the same. 

All of the 9-11 attackers were killed.....are there any questions you didn't get answers to?

If someone was claiming responsibility for the attack and sending a video claiming responsibility, yes.  But there has been no claim for them from any group.  AQ plays the PR game very effectively. It's highly unlikely they are a part of this.

If someone was claiming responsibility for the attack and sending a video claiming responsibility, yes.  But there has been no claim for them from any group.  AQ plays the PR game very effectively. It's highly unlikely they are a part of this.

Like I said, I'm good with no one else being killed....but if that's not the way he wants this to end, then I hope he is the only one who dies.  It won't change the case.

I second that.  I hope he talks.  I really just want to know is "Why?" 

A little humor spotted on the Yahoo newsfeed:

My friend is up there for a conference at MIT, and she was stuck in DD's from early this morning until a couple hours ago when they issued the 'shelter in place' order. I told her it wasn't so bad, she had coffee and wifi, and at least she didn't have to deal with the DB's at Starbucks

If someone was claiming responsibility for the attack and sending a video claiming responsibility, yes.  But there has been no claim for them from any group.  AQ plays the PR game very effectively. It's highly unlikely they are a part of this.

Gasssssssssp! You east-coasters and your DD! 

Youse gotta problem wit dat?

Naaaaaah, just a vested interest 

I've already tried to change the mind of a E coastie and lost that battle horribly. You guys are good. 

 Usually the group that claims responsibility doesn't do it immediately anymore, It's the higher ups that will make a video or statement and it's often a month afterwards.  They want to see if their people or network are out of the area and don't want to do anything that will give anyone extra info to look for anyone or their regional network.  

I'm not saying that someone will take credit, but let it play out a bit more before we see if someone comes forward
