I hope they try and take this kid alive.....

[busterbrown]

Don’t bother telling me what a piece of scum he is...But rather realize that we can learn a lot about a kid
who spent most of his life growing up in this country who immigrated from a vicinity from within the old Soviet Union and made a decision to bomb a city he lives close by to...I think we may learn some things that mental health experts might be able to use in order to prevent incidents like this from occurring in the future..

1. sounds like they are making every effort

[wryter2000]

2. It does

I imagine they could have killed him by now, if they wanted to.

[emulatorloo]

6. Yes. FBI negotiator there.

[Control-Z]

3. I feel exactly the same. (nt)

[arcane1]

10. Why is that fishy?

He may have been trying to appear as if everything is normal, non-suspicious.

[MADem]

5. They HAVE HIM. He WAS in the boat. They said he WAS moving.

Rumor is that they used thermal imaging to find him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. how do you think he stayed alive with dozens of shots ? They just said they WANT to

take him alive. Where are you?

[MADem]

22. I think he is doing the shooting. Not law enforcement. The bullets are coming FROM the boat, not

into it.

Now, though, they are saying it is VERY still. Maybe he shot himself.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. boston.com says they opened the boat cover and he wasn't moving.

27. wow...thanks for the link

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Same here ! Thanks for being a liberal, in the true sense.

[TDale313]

8. Yep, and it has nothing to do with caring about his well being.

We can learn so much more by questioning him.

[Buzz Clik]

9. Knowing his motivations would be illuminating.

But dead works for me.

[yourout]

12. I hope they do as well but really doubt it will happen.

I do not see this ending any other way than dead for him.

[justiceischeap]

13. They've repeatedly said on the scanner not to fire their weapons.

They are doing everything possible from the sounds of it to take him alive. They just said they're going to launch, a bearcat, I think.

[doublethink]

15. Not to mention any more info to be gained from him about ...

other possible accomplices in the marathon bombing this past Monday. May be more then just these 2 guys involved. Getting him captured alive could lead to more arrests? I think that is the thought process by the powers that be, as it should be.

[busterbrown]

18. I doubt there are any other accomplices.. This was a brother to brother thing...from all I read the

older brother had a huge influence over the younger one. They hung around mostly good kids involved with academia. I could always be wrong but...I don’t think so.

[doublethink]

25. I hope you are right, and this crime would end with the two of them.

But a lot of unanswered questions will be just that, unanswered with this guys death tonight. Peace.

[SidDithers]

17. He's 19...

that's not a "kid", that's an adult.

Sid

[busterbrown]

19. 19 years old, so whats your point?

[SidDithers]

21. Was I unclear?...

You called him a "kid" in your OP. IMO, 19 years old isn't a kid.

Sid

[busterbrown]

23. Got it! We all realize the legal age of adulthood is 18... That’s very informative and thank you..

So that we can end this crap, what’s your point...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. love you BB.

[SidDithers]

31. You refer to him as a "kid" twice in your OP...

calling him a kid makes him a sympathetic figure. Calling him a kid implies he's not old enough to be responsible for his actions.

He's an adult who made the decision to put a bomb in the middle of a crowd. He's not a "kid" by any stretch of the imagination.

Sid

[busterbrown]

33. Finally, you show your colors.

Took you long enough....Yea, I consider him a kid, 19 is a kid.
For you to imply that I called him a kid in my original post with an attached motive is just so............
Breitbart.com... Go post your junk there...

[SidDithers]

34. ...

OK, buster.



Sid

[Quantess]

26. Who cares how old he is?

I want some answers! I want to know what the hell his problem is.

[marlakay]

20. Listening to police scanner

they are telling them to not shoot hold fire, doing everything they can, he is holed up in boat with 1/2 tank 20 gal of gas.

[XRubicon]

24. Me too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. can you get that online? or do you have to have a real scanner?

[Terra Alta]

30. I think they are doing their best to get him alive

If they don't, it will be his own doing.

[Gore1FL]

32. Alive n/t
