I'm beginning to wonder if Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is holed up wounded somewhere

[cali]

or dead.

There have been reports that he may have been wounded

<snip>

The source also said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was apparently wounded in the firefight, as they've found blood spots in the manhunt. Officials worry he may have broken into a residence and taken captives. "I wouldn't think someone like this would kill himself," the official said.

1. me too

fwiw

[longship]

2. Crawled into a "hole" and bled out?

If that's true, it may be a while before they find him. Of course, they will.

CBS painted a scenerio earlier this afternoon where he had an opportunity to escape via AmTrak before they shut down the trains. There were two trains that departed the area prior. LE eventually stopped the trains and searched them, but the trains had both made a couple stops before they were searched.

Not very likely, but if the guy just got on a train for one stop, he could have escaped the search area.

As I said, not likely; just a possibility that maybe should be covered. I am sure somebody's already thought of that.

Again, per CBS.

23. That's a pretty good guess. n/t

[HiPointDem]

3. probly in his 'hidey hole' listening to sermons by that radical salefist preacher while

contemplating his 47 virgins or...

whatever hon

[cali]

4. wrong brother, dumpling

kisses and hugs and oh yeah, poppet: (a wonderful old Elizabethan endearment)

[HiPointDem]

6. as long as we're speculating, who cares, puppet?

[riverwalker]

5. "exsanguination"

was a term some expert used, I had to look it up. Means bleeding to death from wounds. He seemed to believe with all the gun fire, he had to have been wounded.

[cliffordu]

7. I agree. It would take a VERY disciplined individual

to stay holed up for this long if he is healthy.

[FarCenter]

8. Not necesarily

Enter a home, tie and gag the occupants, slit their throats, and then lie low.

[cliffordu]

9. That works in the movies,

but this is an untrained 19 year old kid. His mentor - his big brother - is dead.

He is truly alone at this point.

And dropping a bomb off in a crowd under the tutelage of your mentor is one thing but cutting a throat is a whole 'nother country.

[FarCenter]

10. Untrained? It appears that he also traveled to Dagestan

[cliffordu]

11. Just the older brother went, as far as I have heard.

That's the one that got out of the car with the suicide vest on. The true believer.

The kid drove over his dead (dying?) brother to get away.

And that seems like panic to me.

16. In the movie "Shooter", Mark Wahlberg is able to put himself into full surgical anaesthesia

by sucking the nitrous out of a case of whipped cream cans.


Which is odd, since the best I was ever able to get was a 20 second buzz that way.

[cali]

17. I just sprayed beer out of my nose

now that was funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. It's on Netflix Streamin'!

Or as I like to call it, Netflix Steamin'.

[backscatter712]

24. You mean he didn't just Rambo his way through it?

Didn't you know? Badass action heroes can extract bullets from their own bodies, then cauterize the wounds with red-hot pokers or a flash of gunpowder, with little more than a dramatic scream of pain!

[Warren DeMontague]

26. I don't remember, there was quite a bit of that, too.

He makes himself an iv drip from a 2 liter pepsi bottle and a crazy straw, that sort of thing.

[sufrommich]

15. He would have to get really lucky and

choose occupants who have no family or friends who regularly call,especially in an area where a known terrorist is hanging around. I would have to believe,if I had relatives or friends in the area,on lockdown,and they didn't answer the phone,I would be calling the police and reporting that.

[ellie]

12. I think he's dead somewhere in a basement.

[Quantess]

14. How long until he starts to stink? (no text)

[kelliekat44]

13. I believe so. I really think he is wounded and could possible be dead from bleeding out. JMHOP. n

[Zorra]

19. I hope for his sake some really pissed off Boston dad doesn't have him in the basement. nt

[Ellipsis]

20. I was listneing to a scanner link and they mentioned a possible subject sighting in Milton

Off Blue hills avenue in the woods... then the scanner feed went off line ..take it with a serious grain of skeptical salt.

[Bosonic]

21. Or he made it to his handler's safehouse

[HereSince1628]

22. remember the 2 newspaper delivery women in the shot-up pickup?

Police understress get a low percentage of shots nearly on target even when their suspects aren't shooting at them

I'd expect that shots on target to fall even lower in the face of returned gunfire.

I'm staying open minded to the whole range from holed up and wounded to actually escaped the cordon.

[marlakay]

25. After I heard he was a puppy dog who followed his brother

And was scared and biting his nails Tuesday when his car wasn't done at auto shop, I now think he did this for his worshipped brother and alone he is scared to death.

If hiding he is petrified and or killed himself.

[backscatter712]

27. Turns out you were right.

He holed up in that boat, but got captured alive!

[cali]

28. I'm glad he was captured alive.
