just heard someone in custody waiting on confirmation of white hat guy...?

and any news on the note left at the hospital..?

Earlier, there was to be a incident at The Children's Hospital, but was (thankfully) cancelled.

Both suspects - "Guy in custody" & "White Hat Guy," need to be simultaneously apprehended,
...or we remain in this stall..?

They dont want to risk casualties from the dogs and the perp. A dog gets a hold of him, he's blowing himself up.

Id rather a dog blow up that an colleague.

Only one quadrant left to finish the search in. I highly doubt they are going to find this guy in there.

Okay...

So NOBODY was watching Fox this morning at 8:30 EST and heard and saw a Fox camera man in front of a house in Watertown where police all had their guns drawn....and there was a FULL minute of explosions,....and gunshots... and the reporter at Fox says she's hearing it and seeing it too....and even states she sees "fire" through the window...


Because I've played it back twice. It happened.

What was that all about?

was this the video?

Scanner chatter has revealed that they have bomb dogs, gun dogs, drug dogs and tracker dogs on scene, But...dogs need a fresh scent - without knowing for sure that a suspect has been at a place, they won't know what scent to follow. Watching police doco's over here, dog officers often suggest that maybe the first half hour is crucial, after that tracking a scent can be very difficult as it dissipates. Plus, they need to have an example of the scent to follow. As they don't know where the suspect has been, there is nothing for them to "lock on" to right now.

"90% done, about 6 streets to go"

Assume this is the Watertown sesrch

So is the old guy in custody ANOTHER old guy, different from the 60 to 70 year old from earlier today? Who they called the Russian translator for and said he had a "dead man's switch"? Or the same?

Good question.

What did happen to the old guy with the dead man's switch? I know the recent old guy in custody is a different one though, if that helps, he was taken about 45 mins ago, probably 20 pages back now

Yes, or are aware of and are waiting to take them down. They may have taken many down that we haven't heard about. food for thought.

All I was saying is that its a possibility. Drugs, people crazy for whatever reason. Meth cooks will defend their labs to the death...

Anything like that could be the source of other skirmishes with police.

It wouldn't take too many of these for all hell to break loose.

Its a touchy situation. A lot of people DO NOT want cops in their homes. For whatever reason.

exactly. there was a time i grew *chilli plants.. the last thing i'd want is a full home search. what happens then? are they returning to homes where crime has been committed? they've gathered fantastic intel for a large area of a city.

I understand. I guess he could have crawled up under a house and died, but I sort of doubt that.

I really think he has been pulled out of the area until a later date when more can be done. Earlier there was a post about tweets saying something was planned for Sunday.

Two suspects don't fire upon 9,000 cops every day and throw grenades and dynamite at them. Boston is an active war zone right now. Or wherever they are now. This is not normal. And it makes sense to lock down things.

They have something called SWAT that takes care of the risky operations. They are specialised police forces that know how to deal with terror suspects and hostage situations. I simply can't believe you need to lockdown a city for 2 or 3 suspects, short of them having a dirty bomb(meaning a suitcased nuclear device).

Just does not make sense!

Well if they're suicidal then they'd have set off a Nuke already wouldn't they, what would they be waiting for?

What you're saying makes less sense.

Suitcase nukes are useless, you'd kill more people with "conventional" bombs.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Since it's getting dark again in Boston.

I wonder what the odds are of things going crazy again tonight.. Perhaps in Boston or surrounding areas..

Time will tell. But I wonder...

If things do go crazy again, will certainly lead me to believe there is more then just this one young man.

I need a 12 step scanner meeting, and soon...

Des

so what was the deal with the note found? I must have missed it- what did it say where was it found?

WOW this is still going on! Maybe the younger one is dead or injured - could just be as simple as he's crawled into someone's garden shed and died there?

from what I remember, I didn't see any bullet holes, atleast any that were noticeable. Hmm, thats odd.

Yeah, it figures.
Still, they know where the dude lives so they should be able to get some of his stink from over there. And they know his last known position- at the car.
I guess all the bombs and stuff makes them extra cautious.

You are right though.
