Boston Bomb Suspect's Dad Tells Him to Surrender, Warns ' Hell Will Break Loose' if Son Dies

[cash__whatiwant]

The father of suspected Boston Marathon bomber called on his son today to give up peacefully, but warned the U.S. that if his son is killed "all hell will break loose."

Anzor Tsarnaev spoke to ABC News from his home in the Russian city of Makhachkala as Boston police carried out an intense dragnet for his son Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, survived a running gun battle with police during the night that left an MIT security officer dead and a Boston cop badly wounded. His older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in the shootout.

The father said he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. "We talked about the bombing. I was worried about then," Anzor Tsarnaev said.

He said his sons reassured him, saying, "Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good."

The elder Tsarnaev insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully."

"Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia," the dad said.

The father warned, however, "If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."

"If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame," the father told ABC News. "Someone, some organization is out to get them."

1. Uncle said parents live right here

[City Lights]

6. I thought he said their dad recently moved back to Russia. nt

[Marrah_G]

12. Its all such chaos today

[City Lights]

17. Yes, and it's difficult to keep it all straight.

Especially on a lack of sleep!

I'm glad I have DU to reference!

[malaise]

13. He did and the father is speaking from Russia n/t

[krawhitham]

47. he did

[MADem]

48. The neighbor in Cambridge said that the father moved back to Russia a year ago.

He also said the oldest kid spent a year wearing halfassed "religious" garb--the big beard, the head covering, the self-important clothing....and then, one day, he turned up clean-shaven in "European" clothing. He thought it was a phase.

[City Lights]

57. Interesting information! Thanks! nt

[MADem]

21. No--that's not what the uncle said. He said the little shits were bringing disgrace on Chechans,

that his view of the reason for the bombing is that the elder kid wasn't successful, and that the father--his brother--who, like him, is a Muslim--was not a crazed fundy; that the kids got "radicalized" but not by him. The father is still over the water--he is not in USA.

The uncle was furious in his statement to the press--he was spitting mad that these two shits disgraced the family name and the nationality of Chechans.

[Buns_of_Fire]

54. I'd be more afraid of HIS wrath than the government's. He didn't mince words.

But I could tell he was heartbroken about it at the same time. I think he's a good man. I hope his family doesn't suffer any repercussions.

[MADem]

60. The interview with the aunt (up in Canada) was pretty interesting, too.

She was rather brusque, to put it kindly, used the word "shit" on network tee vee at least twice, she insulted the reporters asking questions, and had a definite attitude about this whole mess. She thinks the nephews are innocent, they're pure as the driven snow, it's all a big mistake. Yeah, I guess tossing pressure cooker bombs at the police as one tries to make their getaway is just all a big mistake...!

I would imagine what made it worse, and perhaps contributes to the cognitive dissonance, is that she was the one who got the ball rolling on the family's immigration as a consequence of "persecuted" status.

She also provided additional info about this guy--apparently, he hasn't been working lately, his wife is bringing home the turkey bacon (not a big deal in the west, but it explains the uncle's "loser" comments):


http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/04/19/pol-boston-marathon-bombings-aunt-toronto.html

She said Tamerlan is married to a woman that she described as a Christian, and that he's been staying at home taking care of his daughter while his wife worked. About two years ago, she said, he became more interested in his Muslim faith, and started praying five times a day.

Tsarnaeva said she isn't ready yet to believe Tamerlan is dead. She also said she spoke to someone at the FBI on Friday morning to tell them the two men are her nephews and that they are innocent, but that authorities have not contacted her.

It's because of the Chechen connection, she said, that her nephews are being targeted, but she pointed out that the two had spent only a year in Chechnya when the family attempted to move back. Dzhokhar was a toddler at the time, she said. Once war broke out, they left and eventually ended up in the U.S. as refugees in 2002.

Tsarnaeva, who says she was a lawyer in Kyrgyzstan, questions the evidence authorities have on her nephews.

I hope they air that full interview again--it was interesting.

[snooper2]

2. this is all the stoopid need to start some more conspiracy theories

great

[MineralMan]

3. Shut up, Anzor!

Nothing will break loose except cheering.

[Paul E Ester]

36. +1

[MineralMan]

53. In Russian: заткнись!

[still_one]

4. It is quite unfair to judge the family in this case

[yellowcanine]

38. Who is judging? The OP merely reports what the father said.

I don't see any judging whatsoever. I did hear what sounded like unfounded accusations and a threat from the father though. That's just the truth, not judging.

[still_one]

58. I am not criticizing the op, I am making a comment. It is the same comment

I would make about any incident where the the perpetrators families were asked what do you think if their family member was a murderer

[Drale]

5. This guy doesn't seem to have a clear grip on realitiy

if they capture this kid alive, and he's guilty, and his actions seem to point to yes, he's going to spend the rest of his life in a US prison.

[OriginalGeek]

22. He darn sure ain't "coming home to Russia"

but on the other note - how is dad in Russia? I could have sworn I heard an interview this morning with an uncle (Heavy Russian accent) that said parents were here in US. I might have heard Maryland. The interviewer asked if they could go interview the father and uncle gave an address out right over the air and the first thing I thought was "Well, great - you just sent redneck militia to their house" but then they said that the interview was recorded earlier so I figure the police would already be there....

[Drale]

39. Who knows Russia's a crazy place and out "news" agencies don't have a good track record on this

event to begin with. I guess its possible, this uncle is not even related to them and just looking for fame or that the "father" is doing to same thing, or that the father was in the US but went back to Russia.

[MADem]

50. The uncle said that the father of the kids WAS in USA but left--he was a "loser" who couldn't

make a go of business here. The uncle is furious, he says these two little shits have disgraced the family name and the name of a Chechans in the US.

The neighbor (in Cambridge) said the father left USA a year ago.

[meow2u3]

52. He won't be "coming home to Russia" alive, at least

When he dies in Federal prison (if he's convicted, which he'll very probably be), he'll be brought home to Russia in a casket. Mark my words; he won't see the light of day.

[LiberalFighter]

56. If the family will even pay for the casket and transportation.

Otherwise. \/

[riqster]

7. They "talked about the bombing" before it happened?

And daddy didn't tell the cops??????

[LisaL]

9. He is in Russia.

[riqster]

15. Phones work to talk with kids, and they work to call cops, too.

At least call the local cops, who can alert ours.

[MADem]

24. They talked about it on TUESDAY, in the context of "Are you all right? Are you safe? I heard

there was a bombing where you live..." not "How'd that bombing go?"

[B2G]

18. Earlier this week means

after Monday.

[Whiskeytide]

30. I think he was saying...

... he spoke to them about the bombings because he'd heard about them and was worried about their safety. I didn't get that they confessed to him or indicated to him that they were involved. Maybe I got it wrong, but ...

[MADem]

40. No. They had a conversation after the fact. And the kids didn't admit to anything.

The uncle says the reason for them doing this is because they were "losers" who "could not settle themselves" (i.e. they were not successful).

The uncle (he lives in MD, not VA) also said the father has had no influence over the kids (understandable, they have been here ten years).

The uncle says "Turn yourself in!"

[Jenoch]

45. The way I read it is that they spoke on the telephone after the bombing.

The father says his sons did not plant the bombs.

[justiceischeap]

8. Sounds like the father knows more than he's saying.

If his kids called and talked to him about the bombing earlier this week, then he knew before the rest of the world who was responsible.

[Chan790]

29. You're presuming they told him they committed it.

No such thing has been said by anybody. Perhaps they did, perhaps not. We don't know.

I called my mommy earlier this week and we talked about the bombing too.

[kudzu22]

34. Not necessarily

They might not have told him.

[DeschutesRiver]

42. Sure did and after all body parts his kids blew apart, dad has the nerve to suggest

That if his own killer son is killed, all hell will break lose in the US.

So just pick up his wayward lost son and ship him back home to us in Russia, okay...or else this is all a conspiracy and Americans are to blame. Dad was probably helping to arrange a flight back for them or a hideout stateside. Maybe the kids behavior/attitude was a learned one from dear old dad.

He is going to lose his remaining miscreant child whether to death or prison and there isnt a thing he can do to stop it. If this were my kid, it would break my heart but the outcome wouldn't surprise me, nor would I help them hide from what they did as though it was no big deal.

[Agnosticsherbet]

10. So when will they seek to extradite the father on the charge of accessory...

to comit murder.

It is also clear, now, that the U.S. government's ability to spy on everyone's phone calls isn't as efficient as some say.

[LisaL]

14. Russia would not extradite a Russian citizen.

[Ikonoklast]

49. Ethnic Russians waste no pity on Chechnyans who support terror.

[MADem]

28. Good grief, CONTEXT, people. The father had an "Are you safe?" talk with the kid on TUESDAY.

He didn't know the kid(s) were responsible for the bombing, and they didn't tell him. He thinks the 19 year old is an "angel" who is a "medical student."

[geek tragedy]

11. "all hell will break loose" --it already did on Monday, thanks to your son, asswipe, nt

[avaistheone1]

41. Last evening in Cambridge and Watertown was horrific as well.

[Blue_Roses]

61. exactly!

Dad's in denial.

[n2doc]

16. Sounds like a terroristic threat to me

Arrest him and toss him in Jail. I know he is in shock over his son's death, but fuck him. Let him get over it in solitary so that he doesn't try to emulate them.

[LisaL]

27. Again, he is in Russia.

Unless Russians want to do something, he won't get arrested.

[AndyA]

19. From their actions, it seems hard to believe they are innocent.

If so, why not just go to the police like the other guy did to clear themselves? (Guy pictured on front page of the rag New York Post yesterday.)

What in the world happened to these two brothers to make them hate people so much? I feel sorry for their family, but I have more sorrow for the innocent victims of this senseless tragedy. Threatening that all hell will break loose isn't a good move, either.

[LisaL]

25. I am pretty sure we are passed "going to the police" stage here.

[rightsideout]

20. Good

Then let all hell break loose. You don't come to live in our country and kill our people and get away with it.

It's not a "set up" if your kids are lobbing bombs and firing back at police.

[samplegirl]

23. Sound like the father is nuts

and making threats!

[MADem]

33. Sounds like the father is still under the impression that his "little angel" is innocent.

He talked to his kids on Tuesday and they didn't admit to anything.

Once he starts thinking about it, he'll probably realize they called him to say goodbye.

The Uncle in VA has the bubble on those two.


Edit--Uncle is in MD.

[Shankapotomus]

26. The father sounds like an extremist prone

to wild pronouncements and threats. That explains his children a lot.

[flamingdem]

31. Sounds like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has loopy daddy wrapped around his finger

Wake up call on the horizon.

DO we really care if Dzhokhar lives? If he's mostly just a loser/hateful psychopath are we better off if he suicides and gets it over with..

[LisaL]

32. I believe he is a student.

So probably in the dorm?

[MADem]

35. UMASS Dartmouth has been evacuated. nt

[flamingdem]

37. studying!

[redqueen]

46. Yes. I care if he lives.

Death is an easy out. People who commit such horrendous crimes should not be allowed to escape the full weight of their conscience when it eventually kicks in, and if it doesn't they should still live and suffer in prison, not escape reality entirely.

[Zorra]

55. That's one of the reasons why life in prison without parole

can actually be a much more severe punishment than the death penalty.

Karla Faye
by Mary Gauthier

A little girl lost,
Her world full of pain.
He said it feels good,
She gave him her vein.
The dope made her numb
And numb felt like free.
Until she came down,down,down
To a new misery.

A junkie a whore,
Living for the next high.
She'd lie cheat and steal,
She forgot how to cry.
Wide awake for two weeks,
Shooting heroin then speed,
When she killed in cold,cold blood
All she felt was her need.

CHORUS
It's an eye for an eye,
Now you're gonna die
A tooth for a tooth,
It's your moment of truth.
There's no mercy here
Your stay is denied
Go on and pray,pray,pray
There's Mercy in the sky.

Alone in her cell,
No dope in her veins.
The killer'd become,
Little girl lost again.
She fell to her knees.
She prayed she would die.
On the cold cement floor,
She finally cried.

And love came like the wind
Love whispered her name.
It reached through and held her
Lifted her pain.
15 years on death row,
Her faith deeper each day.
Her last words were "I love you all,"
Good-bye, Karla Faye.

Now it's an eye for an eye,
And you're gonna die
A tooth for a tooth,
It's your moment of truth.
There's no mercy here
Your stay is denied
Go on and pray,pray,pray

[JVS]

51. It's much better to get him alive so that we can know if he and his brother acted alone or...

within an organization.

[FarCenter]

43. Makhachkala is in Dagestan,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagestan

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

44. I hope they take him alive and treat him fairly

Already I fear that these two brothers will become big heroes in Chechnya. We don't want to arouse any unneeded anger against the United States if possible among Chechnyan extremists.

[Baclava]

59. "Come home to Russia"? I hate to break it to you pops, that will never happen

Even if by some miracle your mad-dog bomber son is caught alive and doesn't blow himself up or get 100 bullets to his brain, he's going to be in prison for the rest of his life or be killed by the general population in prison.

have a nice day

[Zoeisright]

62. Sounds like the nuts didn't fall far from the tree.

Listen, DAD, if your kids killed innocent people, they surrendered their right to life.
