IlliniKrush Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Maybe I have some facts wrong - but I can't believe they had a shootout with both suspects and one was able to get in a car and escape, and now he could be anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN article says he escaped on foot. I don't know how that happens. Common criminals never evade police in chase, let alone someone with theeentire country on him.

Common criminals never evade police in chase, let alone someone with theeentire country on him. Weird, an hour or so ago someone on CNN said that after his brother was shot in that initial standoff, he got in the car and essentially ran him over trying to escape. Either way, it just seems ridiculous he got away. There's 9K-10K worth of authorities in the area and he's still out there. Obviously he's not going to an airport to get out, either. CNN still insisting the guy is in contact with people through social media or other means, don't know if they are still talking about a fake twitter account or what.

witesoxfan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 He got out in an SUV. Apparently in the firefight, perhaps when he saw his brother go down, he climbed back into the SUV and floored it and broke away from police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his brother was a diversion with explosives strapped to his chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several fake twitter accounts currently running with these people's names, not surprising that CNN would get fooled repeatedly by them.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Entire city of Boston in lockdown? Is that perhaps a little excessive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Something just doesnt add up. These guys had days to get away from the Boston area, yet they stick around and then do something extremely high profile to basically get caught. Their profile also doesnt fit the early reports about them having to be trained due the fact it had ball bearings, etc. Im wondering if they are the low men on the totem poll and there job was to plant the bombs and then take the fall.

I was thinking the same thing re: getting out. I realize the photos weren't out for a few days, but did they really think no images would come out? And yes, once they are out, you rob a convenience store for a few bucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guess is that they legitimately thought no one would figure out who did it and then panicked last night right after they saw their photos on the news.

Unless (which is entirely possible) the authorities were lying and creating a bomb like this takes little to no training. The reason why I think there is more, is because when you read about the chase, it sounds like they had multiple explosive devices. If that is true, it means that they did have some sort of contingency plan for when they were going to be caught. Also if they just wanted to kill themselves, why not suicide bomb? I dont know, it just seems like a lot for 2 brothers who seemingly have no military training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no photos out, the smart thing would have been to stay put, go about your life like nothing happened and not draw suspicion to yourself. Let them waste time checking airports, interstates and train stations. Once the pics came out, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone need to be "trained" to put ball bearings inside a bomb? It's something that isn't difficult to figure out on your own or could easily be read about on the internets.
