Waterloo in Watertown..

It was a unbelievable day of news.. it was beyond wild.. beyond odd and strange.. beyond fortean.

Entire towns were locked down. Almost an entire state stayed indoors.

But I end with this until I post again tomorrow:  Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  was not read his Miranda Rights. There was a public safety exception invoked. 

This will now be a debated point of contention.. we will hear a lot about it. Maybe.

Or maybe not.

Maybe we won’t care.. 

But if we don’t care, what does that say?
ABC news reports:

A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having Miranda rights issued to him.
The federal government’s high value detainee interrogation group will be responsible for questioning him.
The Miranda exemption exists to protect the public safety from another attack, according to the official.

May everyone have a safe evening, what’s left of it. 
An ordeal is over.
But what ordeal is next..?

The kids aren’t alright. Here is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. He’s armed, he dangerous. And almost an entire state is on lockdown as he runs .. 

THIS IS AMERICA, 2013

Authorities urged residents in Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston to stay indoors. All mass transit was shut down and businesses were asked not to open Friday. People waiting at bus and subway stops were told to go home. "We believe this to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed David of the suspect on the loose. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."

Police warn people in Boston suburb not to open doors

WATERTOWN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Massachusetts State Police warned people in the Boston suburb of Watertown not to open their doors and said they would conduct a door-to-door, street-by-street search

Police warn people in Boston suburb not to open doors

...A curveball of international proportions: The Boston suspects are from a town near Chechnya!?

Identities revealed: The suspects were brothers, from Russia near Chechnya, may have military experience, and have lived in the United States for about a year.. We will see how much of that turns out to be true.. 

More on that military experience being reported ..

And politically and militarily, it is certainly worth noting developments recently.  Chechen commander forms ‘Army of Emigrants,’ integrates Syrian groups

The Syrian ‘rebels’ have been joined by militants from Chechnya in “Jihad” against Assad.

So in essence, the United States  is also funding extremists from Chechnya..  

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CHAOS

While many slept, they missed breaking news events of epic proportions. It felt like the scene of a BATMAN  movie, except no one is coming from Wayne Mansion to save the day..

A brief timeline of events as they have transpired so far:

• Shortly after midnight East Coast time, a campus police office at MIT was shot killed.. Gunshots were reported on the campus and an alert was issued on the website .. the situation was called “active” and dangerous by officials


• Shorter before 3am EDT, multipe explosions were reported to have been used against police at an incident in Watertown, Massachusetts. Speculation quickly connected the MIT police killing with the explosions in the town.. 


• Around 4:30 AM, news broke that a suspect was on the loose in Watertown, and that the person matches the description of Suspect 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings (the one with the white ball cap).. 


• At 5:30 AM, news broke that one suspect from Monday’s terror attack in Boston was dead after the night of violence in Massachusetts. The other, however, is on the loose. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.


• Shortly before 6am, it was reported that the MBTA transit service has been shut down until further notice


• Residents have been told to keep their doors locked and not to leave


• The town of Watertown, MA, is being considered a ‘hot zone,’ according to NBC


• MIT classes are canceled today..

This is a quickly developing story.. 

Police are beginning to ponder whether the suspect still alive is not own armed and dangerous, but potentially a walking bomb with an IED strapped to his person..

DEVELOPING

A wild one.. One marathon bombing suspect dead and another on the loose after a night of violence..
