@daniellemybelle: I hope and pray people will understand these are extremists. There is a quote from the TV show The West Wing that rings true to me all the time
Islamic Extremists is to Islamic as KKK is to Christianity.... there are crazies in every country and every religion. I felt so bad for the uncle when he was trying to defend his culture and his family while stating that he is ashamed of his nephews. -
@daniellemybelle: I don't think there is any evidence so far that these are radicalized muslim extremists. One of the guys was married to a Christian woman (according to their aunt, heard on NPR) and the other was reportedly well-adjusted to American life.
People may make that link, but I really hope they let the data gathered speak for itself and not conjecture!
-
Gosh, I'm reading the kid's twitter account. In these days of social media, there's a lot out there.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Is it his real account? I saw there were a few fake ones that have been ridiculous but might seem legit.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: @BananaPancakes: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/this-might-be-djohar-tsarnaevs-actual-twitter-account
He kept tweeting after the bombing, if this is really him...
-
@Shutterbug: Seems legit to me: https://twitter.com/J_tsar/

This whole thing feels so much like a Die Hard movie, but exponentially more terrifying since it's, you know, real.
Boston bees, I hope you're safe!
-
I've got tickets to the Sox game tonight... no word yet on whether they are cancelling it or not.... this is just crazy.
-
@bluestriped bee: yes, at first it was deemed as unrelated because I think it wasn't confirmed yet. But later, it was...
http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2095733but so much is happening and being reported all at once... hard to say what is true!
just hope everyone stays safe and this horror ends soon.
-
@MrsKoala: it was just postponed.
-
We just were able to get out of town for my brothers wedding. Hope everyone who remains on Boston stays safe.
-
@prettylizy: That's a good correlation. I was saying before that calling these guys Muslims is like calling Westburo Baptist Church Christians, but KKK is a better analogy since they were/are actually violent.
-
@wheres_c: DH and I are having a hard time figuring that out, too.
-
@wheres_c: This is exactly what my husband and I were wondering... how the heck did he get away!? It doesn't seem to make sense!
-
@Shutterbug: @Mrs. Jacks: Gosh. I am NOT a conspiracy kinda girl, but I'm reading this twitter account and it just feels off. Like really, are we sure this is the right kid?! Wouldn't he be trying to make a statement on twitter, knowing this would be seen someday?
I don't know. It just seems so bizarre.
-
@Arden: yeah, there are a ton of fake facebook and twitter pages that popped up today claiming to be him. call me a cynic, but I'll believe it when he gives a statement on video...lol.
-
@wheres_c: No, what did she say?
-
@wheres_c: He threw bombs out of the car as he drove off, IDK maybe that gave him enough time to get away. How there were no hellicopters tracking him, or satellite cameras, that I have no idea. It seems like there are hours of time unaccounted for in this whole story.
-
@wheres_c: I think it was his aunt...I just saw where she was saying this must be some sort of mix up.
@Arden: I wondered that, too, but if I were innocent on something, and there was mass media saying I did it and people were looking for me, I'd say, "look, here I am, but I didn't do it." instead of running.
-
I swear the friend they just interviewed said he was "chillax."
-
@winniebee: I'm sorry they haven't apprehended number 2. Hope you get to your wedding ok!
-
shots fired, they are saying they think found him by a boat in watertown
-
@mrs. bird: Ugh, I hope they end this already!
-
@mrs. bird: Your news is so much better. NBC hasn't mentioned a boat yet.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Body in a boat in a back yard? (People on Reddit are listening to police scanners)
-
Robots are going in to check if they are more explosives... At least 20 rounds fired!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: yes!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: What news source are you using?
Ugh crap, I meant, @mrs. bird:
Sorry!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: its on all the stations in the Boston area... The news has been on literally since last night
-
I'm using NBC and Reddit. I've been preferring CBS for this, but I have to stream on my computer and I found NBC first.
-
Oh ok. My computer is a media center on my tv, so I was just updating CNN.com and not getting anything new. Just switched over to nbc on my tv. I'll have to be on hellobee on my phone.
-
So someone called the police when they saw something with their boat in their backyard?
-
Fox is reporting he is alive but surrounded
-
A neighbor saw a ladder appear through the bushes
-
The news is just crazy. A guy I knew and am friends with on facebook is right there and has been posting updates. And yeah, obviously it is on every station in Boston.
-
Did you guys read what their father said? Basically he's threatened the US if his youngest son died.
Reddit is new to me, but wow its cool!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: Yes, an astute neighbor noted that a ladder was in the yard near the boat where there had been none earlier in the day. Rock on observant neighbor!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I got into Reddit yesterday, when I found out that they were able to identify the type of hat of the older brother. They then started working on the make of the backpacks and I was hooked!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: wow that's awesome! Good for being observant!!
