Man....this is a real-life 24 episode

I personally believe the Chechnyans are more dangerous then any group out there, they have a horrible history very much like the Natzees.. They have no problem committing genocide...my un educated opinion.

Chechnyan Muslims (though they've been living here a while) Chechnyans seem to hate EVERYbody

I don't think we are reading the same history. Stalin moved the entire population from Chechnya to someplace like Kazakhstan. They came back. They have been trying to fight off the Russians since the 18th century.  It's not like the terror attacks against Russia come from nowhere.  They are crazy so to speak because they have no economy and live in a stew of violence under a puppet government that is paid by Moscow.

awesome news

[shotgunneeley]

For most of the day I had thought suspect #2 got away in the black mercedes (and inadvertently ran over his brother). Now I hear he got away on foot following last nights gun battle. The boat he was holed up in was 5 blocks away from the shoot out scene.

Hats off to Boston PD and emergency response/medical personnel. They really came out in force and wrapped this one up, certainly could've ended with many more fatalities. Hope justice is served for the families of all the victims.

This explains why the media is having trouble talking about the subjects...

Someone set him up the bomb.  Seriously, we need to find out who pulled these guy's strings and convinced them that this whole thing was a good idea.  They've been played and we should find out who set them up and funded their idiocy.

not hard to follow

2001: The Tsarnaev family lives in Dagestan.

2002: The Tsarnaev family leaves Dagestan for the United States, according to one report. Tamerlan is 14 or 15 years old. Dzhokhar is eight or nine. The Tsarnaev family father, Anzov, begins working as a mechanic. His English is poor. The mother, Zubeidat, is a cosmetologist.

July 9, 2003: According to the Turkish Interior Minister, the Tsarnaev family was in Turkey for ten days.

2003: Tamerlan registers with USA boxing.

2004-2005: Anzov leaves the employ of the mechanic for whom he works. Sometime in the next few years, he leaves for Russia after getting sick.

December 2005: Uncle Ruslan Tsarni sees Tamerlan and Dzhokhar for the last time. “My family has nothing to do with that family,” he said.

2008-2009: Tamerlan is studying engineering at Bunker Hill Community College when he is profiled by photographer Johannes Hirn. In that profile, Tamerlan says he is devoutly religious, has abandoned smoking and drinking, and rips into the United States. “I’m very religious,” he explains. “There are no values anymore … People can’t control themselves.”

2009: Tamerlan fights in the Golden Gloves tournament in Salt Lake City, loses. That same year, he is arrested for assault in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.

2010: According to the aunt of the suspects, Maret Tsarnaeva, Tamerlan fathers a 3-year-old daughter. There is no confirming evidence of this. That same year, Tamerlan tells a Boston University student magainze: “I don’t have a single American friend. I don’t understand them.”

2011: Dzhokhar graduates from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, listed as a Greater Boston League Winter All-Star Wrestler. He goes on to the University of Massachusetts, studying to be a dentist. Dzhokhar wins a $2,500 scholarship from the City of Cambridge.

It is unclear when Dzhorkhar put up his Vkontakte page. His profile on the Russian Facebook, Vkontakte, confirms his religious worldview; it describes Dzhorkhar’s worldview as “Islam,” and quotes the Koran saying, “Do good ,because Allah loves those who do good.”

One video contains Arabic singing and bombs exploding, with the caption: “Then Allah will rise an army from the non-Arabs, who will be greater riders and will have better weapons than the Arabs … but their weapon will be the weapon of faith.” He is a follower of Feiz Mohammed, a radical Islamic preacher. Sometime in 2012, he travels to Russia for six months.

Thanks for the links titanic3.

I listened to the scanner traffic online and heard them discussing flash bangs and "blanks" and didn't even know that was the moment it went down until the scanner audio went largely silent.

Seems the news were about 25 minutes behind.

As well they should be.

Just viewed the video of Watertown residents applauding police cars as they drove by.  Very nice.
