Violence haunts Boston area in wake of Marathon terror

Violence haunts Boston area in wake of Marathon terror. When you get up this morning turn on the news. It’s been a wild night in Boston. A carjacking, a campus police officer shot and killed at MIT, shootouts, chases, bombs, machine guns. No one really knows what’s going on 100% but we’re leaning towards they caught a couple of the Boston Marathon bombers. They have 2 ‘young men’ in custody. Reports on Twitter claim they’re dark-skinned. There’s 50,000 police, FBI and DHS on the streets. It’s 12:05 PM PDT now, we don’t know if we’ll be up long enough to find out the conclusion. We hope they caught the bastards.

  • My niece and her husband live in the area and have been told to stay home since yesterday evening. Both, coming from upstanding New Mexico families, were amazed when they moved to the area to attend college that nobody seems to know how to protect themselves. If a criminal robs you, breaks into your home, threatens you with a weapon, you call the cops if you can then hope for the best.

    My question for gun control advocates is this. If the good people in Mass. were allowed to arm themselves don't you think they could go to work or school today without as much worry? If the good people in Mass. were allowed to arm themselves don't you think there would be no need to lock down an entire city and the surrounding areas? Don't you think it would be better if the citizens in the Boston area were able to help the cops catch this terrorist instead of being told to hide behind closed doors? Because behind one of those closed doors is a murdering asshole who needs to be taken out and whoever he is hiding behind is going to be shit out of luck.

  • "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize." ...Lenin

    These two Chechnyan brothers have certainly been successful in terrorizing Boston and, thanks to the media, the rest of the United States. It'll be interesting to see if these two murderers are Islamists. If they are, look for the MSM and the government to warn us of the dangers of "Islamophobia".

    One brother is dead but I hope the police capture the other alive so we can determine the brothers' motivation, who trained and armed them and who inspired their jihadist lunacy . I suspect there are a number of more people (including an imam) involved here.

  • Goddam half the state is on lockdown. Dunno what their residency status was, but the one they're looking for is a student at UMass Dartmouth (which is my neighborhood.) Jesus, what a week.

    • Dunno what their residency status was

      I'm not sure if it was one or both, but someone received citizenship on 9-11-12, kinda a creepy coincidence.

      • They were both US Citizens. The one in the hospital Suspect #2 is the one that got the citizenship last year. The one that is dead was married to an American woman (a Christian woman seems to be reported) one can assume he got his citizens through her or maybe at some point before or after. They were married for at least three years or four years do not remember. However NO ONE can say they were homegrown at least not the older brother.

    • Right at the very beginning of this I happened to be watching and it had to be the first replay they showed because I don't think they realized exactly what they were showing and never saw that particular video again. I swear I saw limbs, but the image that will stick with me most was this yellow balloon rising with the smoke like a kid let go of it in the blast. At the time I thought it was two tied together.

      Then yesterday when the FBI released their tape I sat here in shock because in it there is a lady walking holding a yellow balloon shaped like Mickey Mouse with a little boy close by. And I can't get the thought out of my mind that that's the little boy who died and his mom. Should probably go to the FBI site and watch the vid again to check what I'm positive I saw. Have you seen anything local tying them to that FBI release?

  • oh, I guess it must be just a coincidence that there was a simulated terror training in boston on the very same day - what's the drill? why, a BOMBING, of course!

    yeah, just like it was a coincidence that the simulated terror attack in newtown - same day as the sandy hook shooting - what was the simulation? A MASS SHOOTING!!!!!

    gov's response? we need to install more cameras, we need to take your guns, respectively.

    this is bull, we as citizens are being set up.

    • You don't think LE is doing sweeps for trouble before any event lie this, these days? You a (Alex) Jonestowner?

  • I would suggest people just go to Fox or CNN and get your updates there. Twitter can be crazy and there is a lot of misinformation. They are Chechnyan in origin they are not dark skinned per se. They are muslims (at least the younger one) and their Father lives in Russia. They lived in Russia. They immigrated. So far that is what they know. The eldest one is now dead at a hospital and the younger one is on the run. They may have been here for about 10 years. The question is are they home grown terrorists or are they foreign terrorists. If they aren't American citizens they are foreign terrorists. If they have citizenship (why?) they are American terrorists with foreign terrorist allegiances as far as I am concerned. The eldest one wanted to be part of the boxing team for US olympics but either failed at that or it didnt work out. No one knows when in the time they have been here they became radicalized or if they were radical when they immigrated and came here in order to eventually do what they eventually did.

  • These two had to be members of a sleeper cell and then where activated. There is one officer dead, one terrorist dead, the other is reported to be wearing a suicide vest and it is also being reported that the dead POS had a vest on as well.

    So here we have it folks. A terror cell has been in the Boston area for some time and they where then put into action. Yet we have Big Sis telling anyone who will believe her lies that the borders are more secure than ever. There is a bill being shoved down every ones throat to pass amnesty and so called immigration reform. BULL SHIT. shut the bill down. Secure the borders first and foremost. Then may be a pathway for legal citizenship can be setup.

    As for the Brother who paid the ultimate sacrifice, rest in peace my brother. We, those left behind will look out for your family now. We will continue to stand watch, ever vigilant to do what is necessary to stop those who have evil intentions.

    As for the POS on the run. Dont be surprised if he kills himself and tries to kill as many as possible. Here is hoping that when the rat is cornered, the one taking the shot, does so in a manner to drop him, but not kill him. How he got here, survived here and who helped them needs to be known.

    Hey all you leftist pukes. Now that the nationality is known of these two. Will any of you denounce your racist claims against those of us who are white, conservative and TEA Party members?

    • We have to yet give it a time to find out if indeed it is a sleeper cell or not. They could have come here with the specific instructions to pretend to assimilate in order to do a terrorist act once called upon to do that OR they could have come here with good intentions then became radicalized on their own or asked to become a cell by a foreign body. We don't know yet. We will have to wait and see. It seems he has a facebook account where it seems that his state of min and his allegiances to a jihad mindset was posted. If that is the case perhaps he wasn't very sleeper cell, but more radicalized ad wanting to do something. If that is the case then he (and his brother) did something on their own accord or where they being handled by a foreign body. We don't know. They didn't mention a suicide vest, they mentioned a trigger with no explosives where found in the body of the older brother. This is what I am talking about... So many differing reports trying to one up one another and get the scoop.

      They should just allow the truth to emerge and report it then. But I know that is not how this business works.

      I do feel bad for the wanton waste of life the victims of the bombing and the officer who died. I do hope that he is found alive and tried and then executed. Killing himself is way too easy a way out. I want him to say that he did it for his blood ass god so the fools have it in recording.

    • Chechnya means Muslims. Color me unsurprised about that aspect. Who else blows people up? Funny thing is, Hollywood loves to use Chechnyans as the bad guys because using Middle Easterners makes them feel racist. I get so fed up seeing Chechnyans in TV shows and movies I can hardly stand it. Now we have Chechnyans actually committing a terrorist act so we have reality following fiction.

      But - conspiracy alert - if Hollywood-type liberals WERE going to invent a terrorist for the president in a wag-the-dog scenario...

      • Putin had to chuckle a little when he heard the news. Check out some of the details of that little "conflict", school massacre leaps to mind. Brutal.

    • Brother in black hat dead, brother in white hat on the run, his name is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.
      To quote the expert on Middle Eastern affairs that is on FOX right now, this has gone from home grown terrorists to international terrorists.
      Sorry Salon, hate to ruin your day, but they aren't white American TEA Party guys.

    • What did he know? Dangit.

      There might be a link between the White House and that Saudi's hospital room.

      Wanna lay odd they'll kill the other suspect before he can play "connect the dots?"

  • This is just awful. I know we rag on liberal big cities here, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for Boston. Probably the friendliest big city I've ever been to. None of the pretentious douchbaggery you find in other big cities. I just hope the human waste behind all of this gets caught and are wiped off the face of the earth.
