Right. Your not trolling. Unfortunately most people will make the same mistake you say I have. But assume that all chechens are terrorist. By the way did you notice your picture got edited by the moderators. Wonder why?

After self edit: by the way as of the moment you posted that picture did/do you have any concrete evidence or information from: a credible source that these guys are linked directly to the chechen rebels.

And that's just one reason. What about the possibility there could be other bombs out there? Other suspects? There are literally thousands of police being called to this manhunt so I think they need to be allowed to do their job for our safety and theirs. If it were me, I'd not have a problem as I'd know I am safer, IMO.

Agreed 100%. They could easily blend in just as any of the other almost 5 million people living in the Boston metro, just as they did on Monday.

I lived in LA during the 92 riots, and while there was a curfew to be off the streets after dark, you were not forced to be in your house during the day. And it only lasted 2 or 3 days.

This is insane.

Also unconstitutional.

The father of the brothers just said if the other brother is killed, "all hell will break loose"

MBTA is opening up now.

Things are opening up and employers are expecting their non 8-5 workers to come to work now in greater numbers. But what has improved since this morning? He is still out there and things are just as crazy as this morning.

Did greed finally take the place over safety?

The State Police Col stated in his interview that they are confident they've done everything they could to ensure he is not hiding out in the area, realize they can't continue to keep the community under lock down, and re-focusing their efforts but they are still saying to be cautious.

I think he is gone to another state. Maybe that's why his sister does not want to open the door.


Or he is dead but I think the dogs would have sniffed him out.


Or he has someone holding them as hostage in that town and they did not check that house.


Damm this is like a suspense movie that is dragging out I want an ending ALREADY>

There is evidence the older brother developed an interest in Islamic Fundamentalism. neighbors said over the past year he suddenly decided to start sporting Islamic robes and a long beard. Then he curiously shaved it just before the Marathon suggesting a disguise. In fact, one of his friends said when he saw the pics from the race it looked to him like the perp was "wearing a disguise".

Older Perp (who I will disparagingly further refer to as perp26) was having relationship troubles with the girl he got pregnant. In 2009 he was arrested for beating her. I speculate his personal problems led him to an identity crisis, he became bitter, and raged against the world in this way.

A auto shop owner noted perp19 showed up at his shop on Tuesday acting real nervous like he "was on drugs" suddenly with a 2007 mercedes and $900 sneakers. Where does a 19 year old suddenly get the $ for all that?

This could be the motive - our old friend the Almighty Dollar. get some angry at the world loser, tell go blow up the world it's evil anyways, and by the way - I'll give 25K to do it. Hmmm ... ?

is it over?
