Boston Bombing Suspects - MIT Shooting - Manhunt


Recommended Posts

Suprised someone like him didnt go out instead of letting them get near. Could you imagine? All those PD around him and if he had bags of explosives and said "**** it"? I think they got lucky.

As I said before, the longer he runs, the longer it lasts, the longer he's holed up, the less likely he is to want to die. right at the start he might be determined to go all out and die in the process of taking out as many as possible. but then it drags out and he starts thinking about it, and death seems less and less like an interesting concept.

Such good news, I can go to bed happy. It's moments like these where you realise how great the police really are. :)

I also look forward to hearing why he did it.

Me too :) Brilliant job by all police depts and to the people of Boston who lived through this ordeal.

This is fantastic news to know that bomber creep is off the streets and behind bars. Glad Obama was able to capture the suspect quickly as he promised.

I'd give credit to BPD over Obama, personally. And if you look at my posting history, I'm not anti-Obama by any measure, but I doubt he put in much work on this manhunt.

With all due respect, Obama had little to do with this, this was the work of the individuals of all of the agencies coming together and working well to come to this conclusion.

lol - Remember when you watched 24 and you were like, ?how can all that **** happen in one day?

I was telling my dad earlier today how watching the news last night felt like I was watching a live episode of 24. The kind of **** that happened last night you only ever imagine happening in movies. It never actually happens!

Seriously, the credit is those who are working their ass off the whole day to capture those criminals. If you think it was Obama to capture them quickly, then in this case, I would blame him for not preventing the bombing.

One of the best things about the suspect being captured is him having to hear all the cheering every single time the vehicle he's in passes a group of people. When he was apprehended? Cheering. When the vehicle he's in passes a block? Cheering. When it's stopped at a traffic light? Cheering.

Amazing.

Big place, shots get fired all the time. chances are slim that it's related, even though people would need to be pretty dense to shoot guns in Massachusetts right now.

My browser was open on the page you made this comment, that is why I am revisiting it so many pages later. Seriously though, and I am hoping this has already been pointed out by several other members, this is perhaps the most far fetched, in fact damn right ridiculous, statements I have ever personally seen you make. Believe me when I say that between your stances on video game consoles to your tendency to insist that your opinion is the only correct one that exists no matter what the subject to what appears to be a pretty obvious anti-american sentiment, take all of these things in to account and I have seen you make some pretty far fetched statements. This one truly takes the cake.

Is this seriously what you think the United States is like?? That shots are fired so often they would not be a big deal? We are talking the suburban outskirts of one of the major cities in the USA. Shots ARE NOT fired all the time. That is NOT normal. Never-mind the fact this entire area is literally on lock down. Wow. Just Wow.

So BOT. If the news is true and he has been taking into custody, I was really hoping he would have either committed suicide or presented a situation where he had to be taken out. I know this may sound incredibly insensitive, but the reason I was hoping this would be now this creep is going to get so much media attention. This is going to be dragged on and dragged on and dragged on and dragged on. As a result, is going to provide so much more fuel to those that have similar feelings of disdain as he does. I truly fear this is only the beginning of this type of occurrence here in the states. So many other countries and areas face terrorism on a consistent basis, and thus far this country has been lucky enough to pretty much avoid it. It appears as if those days may in-fact be behind us. Honestly the more of a spotlight that the media gives this case, the more other fanatics and lunatics are going to commit copy cat like events.

I believe this quote is appropriate...

:facepalm:

not even what I said, and makes me question if you can read anything objectively. Especially with all the ridiculous allegations you throw in amidst all that as if my opinions on video game consoles should have anything to do with anything because they differ from yours.

:no:

Point was that just because there are shots fired doesn't automatically make them related. Never did I say that ****s get fired all the time, just that it was a big place and just because shots get fired doesn't automatically make them related. At one point you used to be a fairly respected person on these forums with logical and well thought out posts, lately, you seem to become more ... I guess "childish" is the best way to explain it in the way you post and act, and you throw out silly accusations like this.

But if this is how you want to appear than that is up to you. But you shouldn't put your own opinion on others people posts just because you don't agree with them on other matters and make the post appear as something completely different than it is.

Firstly, awesome work by the BPD and FBI, outstanding, my hat is off to you. Because of them the people of Boston will sleep a little easier tonight and breathe a sigh of relief.

Secondly, as one reporter put it, because of all the businesses that had to shut down, they estimate the city of Boston has lost around 1 billion in revenue. So the answer is simple, plan a trip to Boston, put some of your money back into their economy. I know I'm going.

I suspect a lot of people wouldn't get any sleep at all if they hadn't caught him.

It's a really nice city anyway. I think I'll visit later this year.

I was thinking lip service never captures anyone...but the hard work of men and women of law enforcement and the citizens do...I do give credit to obama for keeping the rest of the U.S confident that Massachusetts would prevail.

Actually that's exactly what you said, maybe you should re-read what you wrote:

So I guess the suspect is in critical condition, and really hope he pulls through if only for the fact that we're left without any sort of answers if he passes. Too many people were injured or lost their lives, and death almost seems like an easy way out for him at this point.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
