This puts the kabosh on any idea that they let him go out of the goodness of their terrorist hearts.

This article has a video worth watching that describes how one of the brothers tried to grab him as he ran!~

3. They only prepped the bombing and the evasive maneuvers for the escape.

That screams "training" to me.

But they weren't thinking about funds for the getaway? I guess whoever was giving them tips left this stuff to the Tsarnaevs.

I didn't know it was that close! Poor guy must be reliving this all the time because he was so close to death.

the SUV guy outsmarted them by saying he was running out of gas.

If the Bomb Bros had a brain they'd know BMW's have a reserve to run on after the light goes on that lasts a loong time.

14. Hapless enough to construct sophisticated detonators for their bombs?

Is there anything in either of their backgrounds that would indicate some kind of training that would allow them to construct sophisticated cell phone detonators from scratch? That, to me, is what screams training of some kind.

Maybe the money the Bomb Bros were supposed to escape with was pinched by one of the middlemen. It seems to me there are a large number of go-betweens separating the person making the decisions to the person/persons who carry them out.

I don't think we've peeled away all the layers of the onion yet.
