Boston Marathon Terror Attack - Part 2

[craigdbfan]

This whole thing is so tragic.

 

[KalMart]

If anyone feels sympathy for this kid...even if he was pressured by his brother...just look at those younger children, and young adults and adults in that picture from the marathon, at least one of whom is no longer alive, and the rest that are scarred (and much worse) for the rest of their lives just moments after the pic.

Just have a look at what was and will never be again because of what happened.

Picture of the suspect being arrested

He looks really thin. Although I think I read he was about 6 feet tall and weighed 130lbs, so that's pretty slender.

 

[StrainedEyes]

So this is suspect #2 right? The one from the boat?

Spoiler

Yeah, and the kid who died.

Those measurements were for that missing college student, but it looks to not be far off from the actual guy they arrested.

 

[Marvolo]

He is a little smaller than my size. Fast metabolism.

The whole thing is tragic for me personally. The lives lost, injured and corrupted.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Now they're starting to debate whether he should've been read his Miranda Rights.

They'll read them to him once he's in the hospital and stabilized medically.

 

[JaD]

It is the same guy from the surveillance video since he's got the same shirt on.

He's been on the run for how long? Geez, like 20 hours or so. I hope he survives for a proper trial and some answers..

When I interned for a news station, we covered a drunk driver who'd crashed into a minivan and killed a mother and injured her three kids. He was the first drunk driver getting nailed by harsher DUI laws, and his family was trying to plead the case that he was getting an unfair punishment.

The father of the kids in the van told reporters that he understood that the punishment was harsh, but he was the one who got drunk, he was the one who got into that car, "and the people he hit were my wife and children."

I couldn't feel sorry for the drunk driver after that.

Ah yes, I forgot about that. It's been a really long 24 hours.

Exactly. Nobody should feel sad or sympathize with this evil piece of trash. Look at what
He did...look!

Suspect 2 didn't have explosives n him at time of arrest.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I'm reading so much ignorant **** on the internet right now. It's pissing me off a lot.

 

[Marvolo]

Did obama just take a swing at online forums jumping to conclusions last night about the suspect? He isn't entirely wrong but people were just trying to help.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Well, I missed a lot of what happened due to work, but I'm so happy to hear he was taken alive. Was not expecting it at all. I'm listening to the police audio from when they found him, I wish I would've been off work soon.
My thoughts are with the people of Boston, and I am so happy to see all the celebration going on.
Also, I would not recommend anyone look at the pic of the dead brother. I saw it...I kind of wish I hadn't.

 

[SpideyVille]

Ah yes, I forgot about that. It's been a really long 24 hours.

I've never seen 24, but I just saw this tweet and thought it was hilarious.

Remember when you watched 24 and you were like, “how can all that **** happen in one day?”

 

[JaD]

I wonder if the father is planning to make his way to the States to "clear his sons' name."

Or at least be by his son's side since he might be dying.

Probably more directed to the news outlets jumping the gun on a lot of stuff the last week.

 

[Brain Damage]

That was a really great speech.

 

[Harry_Lime02]

The majority of the news coverage of this event has been sloppy at best, irresponsible at worst.

 

[SpideyVille]

Yup, like the NY Post.

 

[Megalith]

Is there actually video of the suspects putting the bombs down? I didn't follow any of this until now.

I doubt it but wouldn't be surprised if his aunt or uncle showed up.

Did obama just take a swing at online forums jumping to conclusions last night about the suspect? He isn't entirely wrong but people were just trying to help.

In the early hours of this morning, people were posting information from police scanners that may have hindered the search. When the suspect was mis-indentified as the Brown University student, people were bombing the family's FB page, calling their son a terrorist.

People did try to help, but in many ways, they weren't helping.
