FBI has video of #2 showing glee or similar when bomb #1 went off

[flamingdem]

No wonder they're so confident about these two. Subhumans.

This is on Lawrence O'Donnell's show now.

1. i thought i saw the smile on a couple of his photos. nt

2. If that got out

Oh boy if that got out people would be in the streets looking for these "people"

[flamingdem]

4. At least they can be pretty confident it's them and not some innocent!

I can feel the hunting urge spreading through the land. Something tells me these guys have a safe house, they want to enjoy the mayhem. Maybe it's possible to find them because they must have cable for that.

3. How about a $1Million reward for tips leading to their arrest.

[flamingdem]

5. Somehow I think they don't need to do that

but it just might help..

[JaneyVee]

7. It could tempt a family member, cousin, uncle, aunt, etc. who aren't sure but want to leave a tip

Maybe they're on the fence and don't know from the grainy photos 100% if it;s their relative but it may give them incentive to break their doubt.

[flamingdem]

11. Then they could pay to mop up their life afterwards in case it is a close relative

or maybe get out of Dodge as in move elsewhere.

21. A million wouldn't make me any more likely to help

The only way a cash reward would help is if these guys have associates somewhere and one of them would rat them out for the money.

[hedda_foil]

35. WTF?????

You wouldn't turn them in if you knew them??? Is that actually what you said?

[Yo_Mama]

36. No, I meant that I think the general public's commitment to seeing these guys caught

is so intense that it could not be increased by any monetary award, and I believe that by extension from my own rather visceral reaction.

If those pics were of my husband or son I'd call the FBI.

Before the authorities released anything, people were already trying to run through all the footage they could find. As soon as they were released the same groups and sites shifted to trying to analyze them. I don't believe anything could make the public any more determined to do anything they can to help.

If they have some sort of sleazy confederates, I can imagine that maybe the monetary award might do something, but the general public is already on this case. As soon as the official vids and pics were released, they were downloaded to a number of websites and people started trying to find other shots with them in, and organized attempts to identify clothing and so forth.

There are literally millions of pairs of eyes trying to find something that will help. And I don't think it's just online. I bet you tonight and tomorrow every store that sells pressure cookers will be pulling out these photos and asking their employees if anyone looks familiar. Motels will be asking their employees if they saw these guys.

37. Thanks for clarifying, Yo_Mama. it didn't seem likely that you meant it that way

I agree with your take on it.

6. I have to be skeptical of determining an emotional state from a photograph taken during an explosion

I'm not saying they are wrong, but I still remember the rooftop guy in the earlier photo, who everyone said was "acting suspiciously". I will need to at least see the photo in question.

[JaneyVee]

8. FBI has video, not photo. Supposedly.

[flamingdem]

9. You'd have to see the segment but they described it as a victory gesture

and that seems more explicit, but as everything with this case we'll see.

And it's not a photo it's video so the gesture would be easier to read. They aren't releasing it and I bet it's key to their decision to call them suspects. So it's evidence or something that maybe cannot be put out for all to see.

[arcane1]

15. Exactly. A video of a high-five would certainly be convincing. Highly convincing!

But all I have to go on are the photos and vids they have released. Based on that, I don't have enough information to be convinced of anything yet. I still have no idea WTF happened there.

[flamingdem]

16. My New England blood is ready to string 'im up

but my California cool knows to wait 'n see.

[arcane1]

19. There seems to be more evidence against white hat than against black het, from what I've read

But I'm still catching up now that I'm home from work

Hell, for all I know so far, black hat may just be some poor fool who was in close proximity to white hat

[Sedona]

10. High five?

[flamingdem]

12. I'll have to watch Lawrence's segment again, they almost said that

a term like that -- glee was a term they used and that it's pretty clear what is going on. Maybe they cannot release it because it's evidence for later. I bet anyone who knows the guy would recognize such a gesture if it's his "thing".

Maybe more of a "yyess" .. popular these days. Oh and because he wasn't with #1

[Ilsa]

17. Something like an arm pump?

Yeah, they probably have to be careful showing video with their subjective comments that could be called prejudicial.

[flamingdem]

18. Yes, I think the guest said something like arm pump

It would be great if that gesture convicts him heh.

[arcane1]

20. What is meant by "because he wasn't with #1"? In that "after" photo they are still close together

I don't have tv, so I didn't get to see Lawrence, thus my info is still incomplete.

[flamingdem]

26. CNN guest just said he thinks they have video of them the whole way through

they did collect many terrabytes of it from the public and there are lots of street cameras.. these guys are that dumb..

[Honeycombe8]

13. Pure evil. nt

[malaise]

14. The scum of the earth

[HiPointDem]

22. "or similar" = i don't believe it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. Federal needle, McVeigh style

That's what's coming to this dude. If he's lucky.

[ChangeUp106]

24. Got to find these bastards first!!

[flamingdem]

25. Does Boston permit the death penalty?

Liberal state and all..

[newmember]

29. No it has no death penalty

The only way the bombers could face the death penalty is
they would have to be charged by the Feds as terrorists.

[flamingdem]

32. Well then they can deny political motive

but now I see that I don't really know the definition and where they draw the line.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. I said FEDERAL

He's not going to a Commonwealth court

[flamingdem]

33. Sounds likely then nt

[Demo_Chris]

27. Here you go

[flamingdem]

30. Too sad to see that cute kid

and that idiot in the cap arrrg.

[Baitball Blogger]

28. I can't wait to hear what their motivation was for this.

Because they forfeited their future.

[flamingdem]

34. Crap if they are shot we may never find out

CNN just announced shots on the MIT campus by the way

[Oilwellian]

38. Is that a reoccuring problem at MIT? n/t
