BREAKING:Explosion At Boston Marathon

reply to post by imheartbreak




damn so sad .....

I posted a link that's circulating comparing pictures. If you want to find the guys name, that's up to you.

Really not trying to sound holier-than-thou, or derail the thread into personal BS.

Again... just posting updates for ATS as to what other corners of the web are talking about. Make your own conclusions.

Yeah.. was trying not to post the name. He disappeared in mid march, leaving a cryptic note to his roomies.

No derailing here. Credible lead. Got a link for the "note to his roomies."?

Here's the Boston Police, Fire and EMS feed for anyone who was looking for it.

Apparently over on reddit there were talks of a tipped off address of the bombers. Here's that page.

Most likely nothing, but figured I'd share.

That would be interesting if they captured them tonight or tomorrow. Currently I'm just hearing chit-chat. Nothing much.

Bloomberg is reporting that the guy who we all saw with his legs blown off in the wheelchair is one of the sources for ID'ing the suspect.

Boston Bombing Victim in Iconic Photo Helped Identify Attackers--From Bloomberg

Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee. “He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.

Yea that was just as chilling as seeing the guy and bag right next to the kid. Knowing that this guy locked eyes right with the guy.

That's crazy! I wonder how long it will take to get these guys. If we can find them soon. Wasn't there more than 2 bombs? But they did not blow up.

I heard shots fired.

It was apparently a false report, but police are all over the area.

twitter.com...

The feed is pretty crazy right now. Officer down (unrelated to the bombing, it's a black male) and apparently following him based on blood on the sidewalk. EDIT: And apparently that suspect took the officer's weapon. It's a shame such crime is still being committed after such an event.

What about the COWBOY???

I've said it a few times before and I will again. Carlos Arredondo has a history. Too ironic!

Carlos Arredondo's History

After some time went by, according to news reports, Arredondo was so distraught that he climbed in the Marines' van and splashed himself with gasoline. A propane torch he had brought inside was lit accidentally, Arredondo alleged.[5] Arredondo was pulled out to safety by the Marines, however his clothes had caught fire and burned 26% of his body. He received second- and third-degree burns. He was hospitalized in a burn unit for two weeks followed by outpatient home-based treatment. Despite his burns, he attended his son's funeral on a stretcher with two paramedics at each side.[6] Arredondo and his wife Melida both spent time as inpatient psychiatric patients.[7] Arredondo, who once was an undocumented immigrant[8][9][10] and is now a US citizen[11] is originally from Costa Rica. At the time he had no insurance and was self-employed[citation needed] working as a handyman. His story made national and international headlines. His recovery took over a year. Since that time he apologized to the Marines for his drastic actions. He was not prosecuted.[12]

It's two different people with the same name. The cowboy looks younger, has facial hair, and has longer hair. The other person is an anti-war protester.

EDIT! My mistake! I thought you're talking about someone else.

reply to post by Phoenix267


IT IS THE SAME PERSON.

Go to the bottom of the link I posted.

You'll see the reference to the Boston Marathon.

Follow the references.

I just edit my comment. I thought you're talking about a different person and I replied to your comment.

That is why I said beyond a reasonable doubt.

What do you suggest then...?

Stoning sounds good. Make it hurt. If that sounds too barbaric, then maybe just send them to some uninhibited island with nothing. Wont be long before they suffer and die of something. At least then they wont be sitting in prison being fed and being able to breath air unlike little Martin.

This isn't like picking up a gun and killing someone and then knowing what you did was wrong and rehabilitating. They set out to blow people up and did just that.

Please don't post any personal information -- email addresses, names etc. of persons of interest.

I know we all want to sleuth a bit -- it's all we can do right now, but hold off on names.

Thanks

10-4

Did anyone else notice this? I copy pasted both of these photos together. It appears to be the same woman right next to the bomb who is then running away after it went off. Damn, she was EXTREMELY lucky.
