Sunil Tripathi: 4Chan Beats Out FBI, News Media in Identifying Boston Bombing Suspect

...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..

WASHINGTON — AP: Surviving Boston bomb suspect identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.

We will see.

'This is a lockdown like I haven't seen in 30 years' of reporting..

Martial law virtually declared. The American homefront becomes a warfront.. 

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..

The T just got shut down. Wow. (ht Evan)

Wow is right..

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

While I was sleeping

Chaos, madness, and violence gripped Boston.. And one marathon bombing suspect is dead an another on the loose.. Unbelievable news.. video here..

Hey, I just read what you wrote about conspiracy theories regarding the Boston Marathon. It was such a breath of fresh air to see, especially on tumblr.

Thank you for the kind words. I actually received a few other ‘less nice’ responses to my post on that topic.. Your brief message reminded me that there are some good people out there in bloggerland. Keep on reading, and thank you again.

Gosnell Employee: I Saw Ten Babies Breathe Before They Were Killed

The final prosecution witness against Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor on trial for the capital murder of seven babies and one adult patient, was Kareema Cross, a former employee of Gosnell’s. Thursday Cross testified that she saw ten babies breathe before Gosnell killed them.

Pretty horrific stuff, don’t you think?

But yet another day of empty media seats and hardly any coverage.. 
I just don’t get it. This does not have to even boil down  to a pro-life vs pro-choice issue.. I think both sides can reasonably agree on the premise that we are all anti-murder.

The trial thus far has featured a strong prosecution.. this was damning today.. but I still cannot get over the testimony of the maintenance man who became tired of his job because he had to constantly clean up baby body parts ..
