    Fox news really pisses me off.

    They are now on about the possibility of terror attacks coming from Chechnya, but they don't understand why as Russia is the oppressor, not America.

    They're so fcuking simple minded. Instilling fear for nothing. If they were from anywhere else in the world, it would be the same bull crap. The fact that they're Muslims makes it all that juicier for them.

    The brothers weren't even from Chechnya ffs. They are from Kyrgyzstan

    There are some wonderful people here in Texas but sometimes they do their reputation no favours... as I was driving home from work someone on one of the radio stations when he'd been corrected on where the suspects came from: "I don't care what Stupidistan or Crapistan these guys are from" :D

    TBH, how much was police work and how much was luck? Maybe this is a topic for a different thread, but it seems like the cops got two big lucky breaks:

    1. That they happened to be at a 7-11 at the time of an armed robbery, and
    2. That a local resident noticed blood on the boat after the police had already checked the area and were preparing to move out

    I give frontline officers all the credit in the world for their hard work this week, but I think there will be a lot of debate about procedure in the next few days.

    In quotes : I was only relaying what the police scanners were reporting. There are still a lot of questions over what happened over the last 24 hours.

    Suspects father must be pretty happy that he was captured alive. Suspect is probably relieved too. I think everyone wanted him captured alive actually.

    Everyone's happy. Everyone but one pissed off boat owner on Franklin Street.

    Since Boston globe have dropped pay wall, worthwhile reading article and loads on interviews with friends and classmates of the younger brother. Doesn't paint the simple evil madman or radical at all.
    http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/04/19/bombing-suspects-were-local-normal-immigrants/OBTQATfZa9UhMISGpgP3eN/story.html
    A picture has begun to emerge of 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev as an aggressive, possibly radicalized immigrant who may have ensnared his younger brother Dzhokhar — described almost universally as a smart and sweet kid — into an act of terror that killed three people and injured more than 170 at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday.

    It's not my thread, but I suggest lock, Legendary this, start a new for reaction and debate.

    Real questions need to be asked about the way the whole world just watched in interest as real people died, it glorified him and will encourage copy cats. But I don't think that debate should ruin this thread.

    So

    Sometimes it's about luck though and the best planning and preparation means nothing, just be glad it was the police that had it this time.

    Cops can't control how and where suspects will show up, they can only control how they respond. And they responded swiftly and with force in both instances, and both instances resulted in the death or arrest of each suspect.

    That's good police work.
