Boston bombers identified - One killed, the other on the run. Boston on lockdown

Both suspects are brothers from Russia. Interesting profile. Never seen anything like this. I hope they take this other guy alive. They need to find out what the motivation was and if anyone funded this. Here's the story...

Here we go. I hope this doesn't kick start some new wave of Anti-Russian nonsense. Like in the 1980's where so much of pop culture including children's cartoons were some sort of anti-Russian propaganda. Even today I hear old guys comparing any unsavory aspect of America to Russian, even if it's something totally unrelated like traffic camera lights.

I hate to be one of those conspiracy people, but just yesterday I made a joke to somebody and said if one of the suspects ends up dead before speaking, something fishy is at work. Sure enough...

[MIB41]

Sorry. No indifference to Russia intended. Just saying that was an interesting profile because it was so unexpected. People can hate and do crazy things from all origins. No insult or slant intended. Something is going down now. Sounds like they may have found him. Put it on FOX.

TV says they might be Turkish

It really don't matter where they're from - if they're not working for their government

. Put it on FOX.

I could make a comment, but i'll just say i'd rather watch another channel

[Den82]

Oh, I wasn't accusing you of anything. Especially not for pointing out facts. I just know a large portion of American society are already cleaning their guns and cursing the Russians due to teenage fools who's agenda we don't even know yet.

That's true. BTW Fox just has a better angle. That's all. No channel endorsement here.

Holy cow, this is turning out to be alot crazier than I would have ever imagined.
It really seems like there's never going to be an end to terrorism, it's changing and mutating and breeding just like a virus. No end to hate and prejudice. So sad.

[MIB41]

This is just surreal to watch. I've never seen anything like this. There must be 50 FBI and police cars just in this one area with guns drawn. Just bizarre. This kid needs to turn himself in before anyone else gets hurt. It's over for him. I have nothing but the utmost respect for our law enforcement and FBI agents. Incredible investigative work. These guys are such heroes that we take for granted every day.

You know, I get better uptodate info just following Amanda Palmer's twitter feed.

They are Chechen not Russian.

Russia had their own tragedy dealing with Chechen terrorists...

Well, Fox is lagging because CNN is just showing live the uncle of the suspects talking to the media, and Fox has no scoop on it so far.

I am watching both news networks at the same time.

BTW, despite the domestic ratings difference, CNN has a much larger on field staff, especially on foreign affairs.

[Mikey]

That uncle was p___ed

[Hector]

It was interesting to hear the uncle speak, asking his nephew to turn himself in, and that he feels shame for everything that has happened.
