It would have to be in Copley Square or the mosque would have to rent a unit along Boylston Street.

The 'someone' is their uncle. Maybe the uncle is part of King's Islamophobe fear-mongering hysteria.

Little old white ladies don't bomb and kill, so why not profile?

PMSMBC is as radical as the radial Muslims and are as dangerous to the USA as the radical Muslims.

Uhhh, you want to provide a link, or are you just talking out of your a$$?

He did tell the driver things like "we are headed to new york", etc. Maybe trying to throw them off their path?

I just dont understand how something like that is shrugged off or ignored? Hell, given that, he shouldve been one of the first suspects.
Sorry, did not get back to a real PC until now:

FBI disputes mother's claim they tracked elder bombing suspect - CNN.com

They were reporting based on the Mother's claims that the FBI was in constant contact with her son.

The last time the FBI was in contact with was 2011, when they interviewed him.

The uncle lives in, I believe, Michigan and hadn't seen the family since 2005 and the last time he spoke talk to them (the older brother?) was in 2009. Apparently he didn't know anything about the family.

From the video of the uncle being interviewed:

"If that happened, most likely somebody radicalised them."
Video: Boston bombing suspects' uncle Ruslan Tsarni (Full remarks) - POLITICO.com

Do you have a video or an article stating that an individual, such as Alex King, or anyone else for that matter, that interviewed the uncle?

That cannot happen for a variety of reasons and I think we all know that.

But this is the second bombing incident where normal joes talk about bombing drills and being told not to panic.
Enough to convince me to take that into consideration when I go to a crowded public event.
Wouldn't surprise me that they had a tip or intelligence that something was going to happen considering all the monitoring that's going on. It also wouldn't surprise me that either A. they didn't want to cause panic or more probable B. They didn't want to spook the suspects and force them underground making 'em harder to find and allowing them to come back another day at an even bigger target.

I don't think the feds or locals dropped the ball, these types of terrorists are hard to find and when they are found the LEO's have to work within our legal framework, walking a fine line between protecting the public AND protecting the rights of suspected terrorists.

I know this gets used frequently but it is true, terrorists only have to get it right once, LE has to get it right every time.

One thing to watch out for now is the coming restrictions on us. Theyre going to push for more cameras, push for regulation/control of gun powder, and plenty of other things. Meanwhile, they are going to ignore part of the problem, Islamic extremism.

Boston allowed itself to be shut down for a day. We stopped shopping, baseball games, travel, etc, etc, etc. All for one guy. This is America. We are supposed to be going on with our lives. Continue to protect our rights and privacy.

White Hat in time will say to himself - This is not what I expected. Few people involved in fanatic behavior can peer into the future more than half an hour.
