    The chase over the last few hours has gone up Dexter Avenue and through various areas like Willow Park and Quimby St. It's headed in the direction of Nichols Avenue and about 200 meters down the road on Nichols Avenue is the Iranian Association of Boston. If he gets caught (or shot) near there the conspiracy theorists will be going nuts!

    I think they're probably going nuts already anyway.

    I think he had. He said it a while ago, it was repeated then. (i think)

    Go to page 176/177 we all posted it when he said it just before 2 o'clock.

    That's half hour ago.

    I would have thought that unless they're part of or being funded by a foreign organisation, it would have to be considered domestic? They've been living legally in the US for 10 years, right?

    He hadn't said it at that stage.

    He went onto the police radio? Craaazy!

    I missed the news all morning. Did they rob a shop?? When?
    That's what kicked it off. They tried to rob a 7-11, campus police responded and they shot him dead.

    Why they were robbing the shop, who knows? Maybe they'd run out of money or something and were trying to flee.

    It's a miracle that between two bombings and a shootout, only 5 (?) people were killed. Yes, some were seriously seriously injured, but the death toll could have been so much worse.
    Was thinking that too. I mean, two guys with guns and explosives. If a large number of deaths was their aim, they've done a pretty **** job of it up to now.

    However news coverage may have been the primary aim. In which they've been very successful.

    The Police in Boston are asking people to absolutely not give away tactical information on twitter if they can see stuff out their windows or whatever as they're putting officers' lives at risk.

    Ah, I see. I read somewhere that the guy who is still on the loose had been in the US since the age of 9. So much random info flying around, it's hard to know what's true or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭Rascasse


    Use this scanner.

    It's connected to a guys personal scanner and ustream won't run out of bandwidth.

    They're in America nearly ten years...

    That's what his YouTube rant is all about

    The back tracking is beginning so. So happy I don't need to really on that station for my day to day news. The amount of cra*p that they spewed out this morning is crazy.

    I think people just associate "Domestic" with political or lone-nutter type attacks and fail to realise that Islamic extremist attacks could very well be domestic.

    I hope he is taken in alive to find out their motive

    Surely they should scramble their scanners then too? I dont know if they can do that, but it seems a bit mad that anyone can listen in.
