If I were the suspect supposedly seen on the footage, I'd be well gone by now.

Ironic how the media being so eager to get the jump on their rivals, may have given a genuine suspect a couple of hours heads-up to get out of Dodge, lay low, Vamoose.

Or maybe it's just some random guy running away from a bomb because ya know, he had a brain and didn't want to stay waiting for another one to go off.

Who is the woman on CNN? I wish somebody would just punch her square in the mouth

Did you hear the bit when she said the bomber wasn't as dedicated to their cause as they weren't a suicide bomber?

God almighty, that Reddit thread is a good example of why crime solving should be left to the Police.

The police would be going through a fairly similar process though, the difference being they're not doing it in public

Courthouse is being evacuated and Brigham and Women's hospital is being evacuated. Also, Police are cordoning off an area in Kendall Square in Cambridge...no idea what is going on...this is a sh1tshow.

The Courthouse view from my office is attached, cant see anything really.

It's just mass paranoia and over sensitivity, both of which are completely justifiable given what's happened this week.

I mean, bit of a coincidence that everyone was down the courthouse to view the supposed suspect and then the place is evacuated. Must be just some bag unattended or something.

The bird on Bloomberg has a cheeky smile.

The scare in the hospital was somebody left a locked car in the valet with paint cans visible in the back...only the hospital lobby was evacuated not the whole hospital.

Is conceivable that somebody called a bomb threat into the court house once they heard the suspect was being sent there...fcuked up.

This has been a messed up hour.


I hope at least through all the confusion of Chinese Whispers twitter reporting that the initial report that was the BPD have made a break through in the case is true.

No they are not justifiable - its never justifiable for the press to stir **** up thorough shoddy reporting.

Yeah, she's said it more than once.. and keeps mentioning how evidence isn't that important if a conviction can be secured.

Really dodgy stuff coming from her. Anyone aware of her name? I'd love to know what her agenda is.. she's not hiding the fact that she has one very well.

For anybody not watching CNN, her gems in the past hour include:

"pressure cookers are usually for cooking food"

"It shouldn't be that hard to catch the suspect, the USA is not that big"

"we hope the suspect hasn't already got on a plane"

"the FBI may have planted the arrest story to stir the pot"


Worryingly this woman has been on the USA Commission on Terrorism and is a Harvard Graduate.

is there a live stream link to cnn?

Here.

She was saying that the suspect could be "a foreigner" with such hatred.
Considering the USA is 99% foreigners, and the race was a major International meeting with people from all over the World, I am guessing she wasn't working for Tourism or the "Foreign" Department.
