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.
