Yet this second Saudi National is in the hospital with wounds from the bomb blasts and is under armed guard.

Things that make you go hhmmmmmm.

It could also be for his protection. I imagine emotions are still rather hot. Mine would be. shrug
 
The FBI news conference is on now & showing 2 suspects asking the public for help to ID these two.
 
Someone should recognize, at least white cap right away. He looks like a fairly common type really.

fbi.gov has photos and everywhere else will.
 
sadly, the world reacts, as it should, to this tragedy, but few are struck by the sad parallel of broken limbs & legs to the so-called “doctor” in phila. who had the broken limbs & legs of aborted children on his desk… not to mention the bodies that were in the fridge along with employees lunches… not until we realize that this violence is the “root cause” of the culture of violence we are living in, will this kind of horror even have a chance to end.

Except it wasn’t a holiday, not one widely recognized by Americans. Heck, I was born here decades ago and I’ve never heard of ‘Patriot’s Day’ until now— and when I heard it associated with Boston I assumed it was some local New England thing having to do with the Football team.

Political statements require more than just damage to send a message. They need to communicate the who, what and most importantly why. That hasn’t been done here.

Anyway it is just weird. It doesn’t appear to be aimed at achieving any political objectives. Unless it’s going to be followed by something else, part of a larger plan. As a single event it just seems more in line with some local who became fascinated with explosives, researched stuff on the net, got tired of just setting them off in the woods and set his personal demons loose on a local event where he was familiar with its procedures.

Tax Day, Marathon Day, and Patriot day, all in one. I didn’t know about Patriot day until President Obama mentioned it and defined it in his speech.

Paul Krugman and Jane Fonda falsely assumed that no-hair-on-his-body Jared Loughner was a right winger when he shot Gabby Giffords, only to discover later that Giffords voted against marijuana legalization and he was a left winger, but the damage of the assumption played by the national media was already done.

I don’t trust the lack of transparency by this administration since before the first election. These 2 suspects are clearly unprofessional, following each other in line, one wearing nothing to hide his identity. He’s just begging to be caught.
 
EPAN, poster here also mentioned the fall of Baghdad and the 10 year anniversary of that has also been over the past few days, April 14th or 15th.

How do we know the two suspects are not wearing disguises, such as wigs and some kind of face mask? Either they are pretty much amateurish or consummate professionals: I don’t think we know at this point. But whichever they are, they’re disturbed, that’s for sure.
 
One would expect a bomber to at least wear sunglasses and his hat on forwards to cover his face, unless he expected to get caught at the scene, which he didn’t. That’s what I’m saying. Something is fishy here. That’'s either a darn good rubber face makeup job on the guy with the white hat, or he is intentionally getting arrested. What bothers me about the FBI photos is that the guy with the black hat and sunglasses has blurred areas running across his face in the close up photos, making it even harder to identify him. What’s up with that? The photos just happen to be blurry over his face?

Alex Jones’s site contains an email which claims the raid will happen tomorrow, was staged, and the actor will have NRA literature and guns found at his residence. The email was dated 4/15 and is anonymous, so who knows, we’ll know tomorrow. While I’m not holding my breath on an anonymous email, it would be quite the story if the actor with the white hat is found and blamed to be a right winger while the fugitive black hat guy promises chronic gunpowder terror against the populace. What freedom people will give up then?

Do people remember the first videos of George Zimmerman when he was brought into custody in Florida, The Trayvon Martin shooter, the video was blurry but a few days later it was better video.

They said the video we have seen so far is “compressed” and we will probably get a better view in a few days.

Unless they make that raid tomorrow, we will see, I doubt it. Because I’ve listened to his show, he says some things I agree with, other not so much.
 
I agree, it’ seems unprofessional for the white capped Suspect 2 to be wearing his cap backwards so we get a good view of his face. To me, Suspect 2 reminds me a bit of one of the Columbine youth but I could be wrong.

When the Zimmerman video was first released, remember how everyone said where are the injuries but once the better video was produced, you could see it.
 
Looks like the slain one is a Chechen, and a Muslim.

But other things are going on, too. I noticed a video still picture of Tamerlan Tsarnaev (in a Yahoo! article) which appeared to have had the nose part of the image photoshopped. I think there’s someone at Yahoo! trying to peddle the impression he is Jewish, hoping to stir up a big, multi-sided brouhaha.

Jewish because of his nose? Really? Do I need to go into why I find this offensive or can we all just kind of see that?

Given Yahoo!s reputation, is it all that far-fetched that they’d go in for that kind of physical stereotyping? They wouldn’t be the first.

The image just had that distinctive look of having been tampered with, and looked very much like a deliberate caricature, the type of caricature that has historical antecedents, as a result. You don’t deny the past existence of such types of caricatures, do you?

Everyone can judge for himself. news.yahoo.com/stories-2-brothers-suspected-bombing-124623274.html
 
I’ll wait until officials are 100% sure of the bombers’ origins and motive before I reach any conclusions. There is much investigation yet to occur. However, it would not surprise me if the bombings were the work of Islamic terrorists. Time will tell and I’m willing to wait for the official FBI investigation results.
