He is a d*ck.

Still though, pretty impressive the way he can turn those three events around and make them about himself.

I am a bit worried - I was in America for 9/11, Norway for the shooting spree and now Boston for these bombs! Am I a bad news guy ??

He sounds like a Jessica Fletcher for acts of terrorism. Everyone she went someone died. Same with this fella.

Embarrassed faces on all sides.

Yup.

That post was a joke btw, evidently not a very good one.

Anyone know how the **** the other suspect managed to escape?!!

Apparently he took off his white baseball cap..

FouxDaFaFa · 19-04-2013 05:42PM

The police must be exhausted. Anyone coming up to 18 hours on duty is being asked to stop. Imagine being in such a heightened state of vigilance for that long?

No, not a bad news guy, you just have to make it all about you.

He goes on so many freebie holidays under the guise of 'work', it's no wonder it occasionally coincides with a few acts of terrorism along the way.

I think this is the second or third time he's broadcast his show from the US already this year - and it's only April!

Jimmy Iovine · 19-04-2013 05:44PM

Just home from work there. Gutted to hear that I've missed everything. I listened to BBC RAdio 1 on the way in at half 7 and they were still saying that the suspects hadn't been found.

Anyone have a link to a timeline of events as they've unfolded today.

Well he's not acting like an innocent man.

As somebody else said, if he is innocent he is only doing what most people would do - RUN.

Please stop.

Please!

Why should I stop? I'm not saying anything wrong or distasteful. I'm just asking questions (some of which have been answered). Keep your muzzle, I don't need or want it.

The CCTV stills show him arriving with a backpack, standing in the crowd (where the bomb went off) with the backpack at his feet, where the 8 year old that died is pictured in front of him. then he is captured leaving without the backpack about 20 seconds prior to the bomb going off. Have you even seen any of the footage of this??

Thanks. I've seen general footage. Due to time constraints I haven't been able to watch the events continously and I haven't seen any of the stills including the one you posted. Thanks.

Not having a go at 'up for anything' or anything but I've seen on some forums and some 'conspiracy sites' people saying where is the proof, did the first guy really die, show us the body etc.. Its got really bad that some people now want all this information, cops and FBI always have way more information than they release to the press etc. With good reason too. Thats why the press end up screwing things up and reporting the wrong things, they get a tiny bit of info and try and base a story off it.

I'm not asking from a conspiracy stance. I've only really just come to this apart from seeing the initial marathon footage and some bits since then. I realise the law enforcement agencies there must have proof in order to be concentrating their efforts on capturing this man but I was curious as to what proof had been publicised in order for the media to be already giving him monikers.

I've backed up all of @j_tsar's tweets and giving them a read. First impression: Chechen teen who likes hip hop, hanging out and partying.

If most people were complete idiots maybe that's what they would do.

Friends being interviewed on CNN. He's a friendly, well mannered, popular and well liked guy according to them and never hinted at having any anti-American feelings.

Some lad is after letting a ladder up against a wall,sounds like the cops are going checking it out.

Not distasteful but you are wrong.

Hence people picking up on it.

You seem unable to put 2 and 2 together.

Dont know has it been posted but I cant imagine this tweet going down too well.

George Hook ‏@ghook 32m
American cities unlike London, Belfast and others have no experience of terrorist action. It is complete over-reaction.and has capitulated.

Yeah run.....and have a gun fight with the cops......and lob grenades about the place. That what all innocent people do

Chorcai · 19-04-2013 05:48PM

So far I have seen the National Guard, FBI, SWAT, DEA, ATF, Homeland Security, State Police (Troopers), Watertown Police, Boston Police, Military Police and US Marshals, are things that bad ??? :rolleyes:

Maybe he'll drop a plug for Sky in at some point

CNN reporter asked "did he ever tell you he hated america or was plotting something"

Are they serious

Seachmall · 19-04-2013 05:49PM

One of the friends is pretty awkward. No matter what question is asked he seems to answer with "I thought he was white American when I first saw him".
