It's been a tool for us, but it's not unreasonable to state it could be a tool for this terrorist as well. Let's get him.

I thought this thread was completely unrelated when I saw it just a few posts in. Had no idea it would turn out like this.

Prayers for everyone's safety. Ironman, stay safe.

Anyone hear anythign about a black car that was pulled over and guy with a shaved head taken into custody?

Am I mistaken?



Edit:
Now they're sayin that the peoploe in that car may have been in communication with the suspect...I was right.

Honda CRV found. No other information. Media inference is that it wasn't a vehicle taken by the terrorist or was otherwise empty. Due diligence well served. The manhunt goes on..

Social media once again ruining two people's reputations. Sad. Still hope they catch this bastard and he gets his justice

Everyone keep all the law enforcement personnel in your prayers as well. They are really in harms way trying to get this Coward.

The torrent of thoughts and emotions that come with an event like this are hard to deal with. Let's just keep the prayer train rolling.. hard to talk about this feeling.

I just got back from the city. I had to bring my dad to the Veterans hospital in Jamaica Plain for an 8am appointment. The hospital , about 10 miles from Watertown, went into lockdown 5 minutes before we were going to leave. Fortunately, I was able to talk our way out.

On the ride home, traffic was stopped in Concord for about 10 minutes to allow the Sudbury militia to march across Route 2.They were returning home from battle, victorious. God Bless America!

Suspects kill a cop, they jack a Mercedes, police are after them, Suspect 2 runs over Suspect 1 and Suspect 1 is shot and killed, Suspect 2 is still on the run, there is an old man with a suicide bomb vest on right now but it's not clear who or what he is and if he was a willing participant.

Suspect 2 is a 19-year-old college student from Chechnya who has been living here for what appears to be a year or two. If I had to make an uneducated guess, I feel like his older brother, Suspect 1, was a radical from Chechnya and brainwashed his younger brother into being a terrorist. Suspect 1 was an abusive loner.

Somehow weirder than I expected it to be.
