Dzhokhar's friend of 5 years from wrestling team at Cambridge never been to his apartment

[BootinUp]

had to drop him off down the street. Interesting no? What was so secret at Dzhokhar's apartment?

Just saw an interview with his friend on CNN

1. probably but not so weird in itself, i usually don't have people at my place

because it's not much . if i had a better place i would probably be more likely to invite people over.

2. Not so strange these days

[Fumesucker]

3. I read that the home was a "tenement" in a "working class neighborhood" just a little while ago

Quite possibly he was ashamed of his living quarters.

11. Central Square has been gentrified over the years. I'm n ot sure you could classify any homes

in that area as tenements. Just saying. Now a lot of the houses are old and could be a little run down.

[HiPointDem]

13. if you google the address it doesn't look like a tenement.

4. Some people are priavte in some things.

I have had a few friends over the years like that: none of them terrorists.

6. Who took care of Dhokhar as a teenager? His creepy brother??

[LisaL]

8. No.

He has parents.

[reformist2]

14. They're in Russia.

[LisaL]

17. His father moved there recently.

As far as I can tell mother is still in US.

[gollygee]

7. Maybe it was messy and he was embarrassed?

I wouldn't read too much into that.

[KittyWampus]

9. Had a friend who was a hoarder. Only knew cause his mother told me. Nobody went to his apartment.

[BootinUp]

10. I guess I'm wondering if they had a secret second life

as extremist jihadists. Call me crazy. lol.

[HangOnKids]

22. Have a link to them being extreme jihadists? n/t

[BootinUp]

24. Apparently the older brother has youtube postings

indicating that. I do not have the links, sorry. Its been reported by the mainstream media though.

[HangOnKids]

26. You Tube is such a bastion of knowledge

Replete with cats fencing and dogs wearing hats.

[BootinUp]

27. You're just in the mood to ridicule folks I guess.

[HangOnKids]

32. No just looking for facts

[BootinUp]

33. He, the older brother, was out of the country for six months

traveled to somewhere in Russia. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51597568/

Just another interesting factoid at this point.

12. In his interview, it doesn't seem the father was a huge fan of his friends.

Thought they were interfering with his academics. But what teenager hasn't had that fight with their parents?

[reformist2]

15. When did his father move back to Russia?

[woodsprite]

16. I had a boyfriend when I was younger who had my parents drop him off

at the entrance of "his development" all the time. Turned out he was the town gypsy fortune teller's son and he was ashamed of his family. One day he just didn't show up at school anymore and I found out they hightailed it out of town because of some trouble his mom got into.

[BootinUp]

19. Sure it could have been like that.

[MOTRDemocrat]

18. Apartment was full of bombs.

Stop trying to sugarcoat this.

[BootinUp]

21. I'm not trying to do that.

More like I am trying to suggest what you are already thinking.

[HangOnKids]

25. What would DU done without you?

Because sugar coating is our thing!

[HipChick]

20. I dated a guy for over a year, and he never came to my house

I rarely have people visit..it's no big deal..

[B2G]

23. No big deal in *your* case anyway

His? Not so much.

[Cleita]

29. I don't blame you. I seldom let my dates come to my apartment.

I usually met them somewhere or went to their place. My home was my sanctuary, so only a few close friends and family knew where I lived. Fifty years later and now a widow, I still feel the same way.

[Cleita]

28. He was living with his mother. Probably the usual thing for a Chechnyan but

not so much for an American. Maybe he was embarrassed to be living with his mother and other siblings.

[LisaL]

30. Since he is 19 now, and his friend knew him for five years, are you saying it's not normal

for American youngsters to be living with their mother?

[Cleita]

31. No, not really. Most are away at college or are hopefully working and have their own

places. I know with this new bad economy, many young adults are living with parents again, but it's not the norm for Americans. Back in my day, many of my friends were kicked out, once they graduated from high school and got a job. The ones who didn't go on to college were expected to get their own places or pay room and board back at the parent unit's homestead.
