Oh i see him now. Maybe he just zipped up his jacket/sweatshirt? The pants match and the hat seems to as well. It's gotta be the same guy

They both seem to be relatively calm compared to the people around them as well. Obviously it is hard to tell in a picture, but to me it seems like that.

This picture is chilling... To think that mostly everyone in that frame is minutes away from the worst moment of their life is just sad.

I'm a huge fan of due process and the 8th amendment but I don't think it'd be cruel or unusual to cut these fuckers legs and arms off while they're fully conscious since they did the same to these innocent people. Then send them off to prison to get raped.

yea it is so fucking messed up. although i saw a pic of the bombsite early in the race and it was packed with people, i actually think we're all fortunate it didn't go off earlier because there were far less people when it went off. im assuming this picture could be as much as an hour before detonation because people were pretty sparse at the time. the death toll would be way higher if it went off a couple minutes from this pic

I really, really hope that whoever is responsible for this is brought to justice With that being said, I have a hard time understanding the "evidence" that is making those two gentlemen suspects. They have a video of two guys with a backpack. Anyone in that video / pictures being posted could be labeled as "suspicous." There are numerous logical explanations as to why they acted like they did. I'm confident that the FBI has our nations very best on the case and that we will find the murderers, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and say we are right on their tails.

Supposedly they have video evidence of a backpack being placed on the ground by one of them at one of the bomb sites, that's why they're suspects

Never said I did. Likely won't see it either. I was just saying, from what I have seen, there is nothing that points to them being the attackers. If they are caught and they are responsible, I sure hope the FBI has more evidence because this certainly won't stand in court.

as far as i'm concerned i really don't care if its it all they have. if there are 5 people spotted with suspicious backpacks at the scene and they are all brought in for investigation, yea, i'm sorry your day or week got slowed down a little. that sucks. but its for a greater cause, and if it leads to the FBI as finding one of those people identified as the culprit, it is totally worth it.

so yea, i don't give a fuck if they bring someone in just because there is footage of them with a backpack. it could lead to the arrest, and it really is not that big a deal

Damn what is going on right now? My buddy is a cop in Boston and he just texted me saying that there are 3 cops down in Watertown. Is that where MIT is?
Supposedly these dudes have grenades, automatic weapons, and stole a police SUV. No one's really sure if its the bombing suspects or not but I hope it is and that they take down these fucks sooner than later before anyone else gets hurt. One of the cops is definitely dead too. Shit.

MIT is in Cambridge. Just across the river from boston. Watertown is a little to west. The scanner is insane.

Supposedly police just got in a car chase with one of the suspects and shots were fired. I don't know how true this is.

Some serious, serious shit going down in Boston right now. One suspect dead, the other escaped on foot and there is a massive man hunt going on right now. It's crazy how fast info is coming in to that redit thread compared to the traditional news outlets.

And Deval Patrick just said that people in Boston should stay home and not go to work.

I hope somehow we can keep the brother on the run alive, but it doesn't look like that's gonna be possible because he's armed with bombs and guns. Really no other option but to kill him. Oh well.
