Boston Marathon Terror Attack - Part 1

I actually hope the suspect isn't dead. I want these guys to be tried.

I just heard "I should have bought you flowers." come across the scanner in the background.

 

[SpideyVille]

Several of my relatives have had police scanners for decades. Pretty common.

You can buy them on the cheap at Radio Shack or any other electronics store and tap into police bands big or small across the US.

Interesting.

This suspect on the loose may have an assault rifle I think I just heard on the scanner

Yeah, that's the pic I mentioned on that last page or two.

Well, death, life in prison, doesn't make much difference to me, but we need to know why they did it, and if anyone else was involved.

Look at him smiling.

All Watertown on lockdown? Cops reportedly going door to door

Just adds more to the theory of them being suspects and connected.

For some reason, the one of the left really reminds me of Ricky Rubio from the NBA.

 

[Marvolo]

Scanner: "Suspect may have IED device. Use extreme caution."

This is going to get hairy if they corner him.

Look at him smiling.

Smug little bastard. Hopefully they get them.

Do the police normally give out access to their scanners? The only time I've heard about that was in the Spider-Man movies.

There are free police scanner apps for iPod/iPhone. I use done once easily. It was fascinating yet sort of creepy to listen in on...

@UniversalHub: At-large suspect is in a gray hoodie, has black curly hair. #watertown

 

[ThePhantasm]

Suspect on loose reportedly has white hoodie, may be armed with more explosives

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Scanner: "Suspect may have IED device. Use extreme caution."

This is going to get hairy if they corner him.

Typical terrorist: have a possible bomb strapped to themselves in case of capture or corner.

 

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

Wow......lucky no one was sitting on the chair when the shot went through.

 

[Marvolo]

Scanner: "The suspect outstanding is the one in the white hat"

Why is he still wearing the hat?

BREAKING: Scanner: "The white male should be considered armed and dangers. Possibly with explosives and an assault rifle."

 

[SpideyVille]

I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore and never carry a backpack on me. I can tell backpacks are going to be the new cause for suspicion wherever you go.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Scanner: "The suspect outstanding is the one in the white hat"

Why is he still wearing the hat?

Probably how they are identifying him so cops know what to look for.

Scanner: "The suspect outstanding is the one in the white hat"

Why is he still wearing the hat?

Hopefully because he's an idiot. That way he'll be easier to catch.

 

[Thundercrack85]

These have to be the dumbest terrorists since that underwear bomber.
