A pair of explosions rocks the finish line at the Boston Marathon, injuring at least a half-dozen people.

damn the media know how to hype this shit up, I'm even feeling this sort of adrenaline rush right now from watching it. Shit's crazy. Hard to explain

I think that is normal. This is fucking crazy. Plus, if you are listening to the scanner it is even crazier.

I'm really not too upset about how they are handling it. Not yet at least. We'll see how it evolves.

"there is a terrorist on the loose who wants to kill people, according to law enforcement, stay in your homes, don't let anyone in unless it is a police officer" - CNN

Tbh, questioning would be hardly of any use when it comes to understanding why he did what he did, imo (assuming he was indeed responsible). I have more trust in the forensic (psychiatry) team digging up mails and other traces from his history, which would be infinitely more useful than the crappy rationalisations which "a mind like that" (excuse me my generalisation here) would produce under the current circumstances.

(yeah, i'm a cynic when it comes to this)

I mean, by all accounts, that isn't inaccurate.

one thing I dont understand is this kid they videotape who's face down on the ground and cops approaching him

A) it doesn't look like the same guy in the pictures
B) how did he end up dying? he looks uninjured in this video, did the cops shoot him after this was filmed? where is the rest of the video?

note: not suggesting any conspiracy or false flag, just asking

for example, why would they let the guy whose car they hijacked go unharmed?

i'm not even stoned right now and I feel seriously altered by watching the news coverage

I don't think that is the guy who died. I heard they took one person in and let him go. The dude who died got shot in the initial firefight I heard.

err...I heard now that it was the bomb he had on him?

who is this FUCKING kid on the ground in this video? Is he not one of the 2 suspects? Because 1 of the 2 boston marathon suspects is on the loose, this is the terrorist they keep referring to. So is this a 3rd person who is just not being talked about? How in the hell did he die, did they just pump him full of bullets because they thought he had a suicide vest?

edit: sorry i didn't see your post above, so the kid in the video was released already? I'm really confused

Who knows, but nitpicking what they call a violent armed person who is on the loose is silly imo.

especially after they have been involved in a terrorist act.

The scanner made it sound like the first suspect died from a bomb he had strapped on.

i didn't mean to come off as being nit picking, that word has an emotional charge and when it's phrased that way it produced a strong chemical response in my brain. I'm hyped up right now, I feel like i drank 3 shots of espresso

I'm not convinced it's this Sunil guy - it could be, but I don't think there's a really strong likeness in those pictures. Incidentally I don't think he's Sri Lankan either, by his name and complexion I'd guess he's from a northern Indian background.

All speculation at this point, of course.

"get down on your knees" heard on scanner

Return to your Zen, man.

@john

you would think if it wasn't this Sunil or 'black hat' guy the cops after he died would have made a point to mention that. Unless they shot him with so many bullets they'll have to do a DNA test on him just to confirm his identity.

definitely not nitpicking, just genuinely wondering why since it seems so inconsistent with what has happened tonight.

I don't think anyone knows exactly what is happening. That naked dude was released I think though. I need to go to bed but I can't help but see this through.

apparently he died from a bomb strapped to his chest while in custody

(according to the scanner)

Per Compson: Per Pete Williams NBC - if these people are who we think they are...they have only been in the US for a year.

I don't understand what that means

Social media has lit up over a massive shootout going on in the city of Watertown, Massachusetts. Spectators are listening in to a Boston Police radio scanner for updates.

what a world.

Like if their identities are properly confirmed then they are not home grown and are actually foreigners in the US.

I am listening to the scanner. I want to know how this goes down.

How is that any different than watching/reading the news?
