A room by room search by SWAT and EOD isn't a rushed affair, especially if there are still civilians in the area.

Not all bombs are equal eh? Maybe yours was more concussive than this victim (they had to amputate at least one leg)?

Thank god for spall liners and John James Audubon for making his book so thick. That said...

My point being that we have a description from a bomb victim that was so beat up and on drugs he couldn't speak initially. That's a good start, but if that's all we have... It's not enough to convict, if you follow. Particularly sine we have a literal crowd of thousands of people that were there that day.

I understand that. It just seems to be a little off that they go from "shootout" to losing him and not being able to find him.

If he escapes, I wonder if he'll be looking for gainful employment? I know some guys that would love to give that sort of talent training and on the job experience.

Police claim to have found a pressure cooker and pipe bombs at the suspects house. Which only really says what we already knew.

This bit was interesting:

"Doctors at Beth Israel Medical Center where Tamerlan Tsarnaev died said they treated a man with a possible blast injury and multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities gave no details on how his younger brother escaped."

Don't worry, friends of the resistance, Glenn has answers to our questions and will be revealing them... soon...

MSNBC reporting a body found in a boat, no further details.

Weirdly enough, suspect 2 (supposedly) made internet posts that he felt that Beck was right and that the World Trade Center was an inside job by the US Government....


LOL

That guy left the US didn't he? Because if he didn't, and that Beck fellow names him and all that...he's going to be in a lot of danger when he just wants to live his life.

This is assuming he is innocent of involvement.

Anyone taking bets that the dead body in the boat is either A) Suspect 2 himself or B) totally unrelated?

He's alive and surrounded in the boat, armed.

Putting my money on b seems really random.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what option C could possibly be.

Yes, the boat is parked in a back yard. If it's him, he's presumably been hiding under the cover.

Source? I found was that they lifted the lockdown and he's still at large.

10 explosions where just heard from the yard.

Popping sounds (different from gunshot sounds earlier) coming from area of boat. Popping is not in rapid succession.

Flush him out?

They could just be trying to thoroughly disorient him before they move in to try to apprehend him.

Disorient the that target so he can be more easily closed in on?

Yep, to confirm, but I'm watching local Fox25 atm. They are reporting from the scene.

I've used a flash bang from my military days, generally one is more then enough then you rush in. Only thing I can imagine is they are using flash bangs to mask troop movement but the scanner isnt mentioning anything like that

Make sure everyone takes a moment to say a prayer, give a well wish, whatever, for the ones who move in to try to apprehend him.

He's quite possibly wired to explode. The ones moving in could be in extreme danger when they do.

sounds like the police are going to try to send in the bomb robot to try to get a look at him, I just hope they can take him alive

Can someone link to the latest Fark comment thread?

Hopefully he can be apprehended without any more loss of life, especially from the police.

I just heard the BPD talking about how they need to shut that scanner down since it's on the internet.. I dunno when they'll do that.

They seem to have someone surrounded in a boat - they're talking as if its the suspect.

~Tim?

WCVB is saying that it's confirmed that he's in the boat.
