Explosions at the Boston Marathon

[BoMac]

So much for sleep tonight.

 

[mobvok]

well, the New York Post got a Brown student right.

funny now all the broadcast news stations are being very circumspect, saying we are not sure who these guys are, not sure if related to Monday bombings

They (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) have been extremely hesitant to link anything that's happened tonight to Monday's events.

I've been reading that it was people on Reddit who figured out that little piece.

RIP blue robe guy

Looks like this is an account set up by Sunil Tripathi's family in an effort to find him:

https://twitter.com/findingsunny

It'll likely be taken down soon, although the screen shots will live forever. Crazy shit. There's even a tweet in there about the marathon.

That's so sad.

RIP blue robe guy

I don't know what this means?

Yes. here's the thread

Is missing student Sunil Tripathi Marathon Bomber #2? : boston

 

[deep]

They (CNN, MSNBC, .

MSNBC keeps showing that guy laying in the street? is he dead?

whats up with that?

 

[mobvok]

I don't know what this means?

Blue Robe Guy was another false suspect, who was just some dude in a fleece jacket.

but i was being glib, they probably did get something right here, albeit there's a large number of false alarms generated from there as well

 

[mobvok]

there's an awful lot of painful shit out there from Sunil's family. unfortunately they had quite a good social media presence looking for him.

 

[deep]

well, he is no longer missing

 

[deep]

I think I will go to bed,
I believe they can manage ok without my online supervison

 

[BoMac]

Something on the scanner about motion sensors going off in a building....I think.

 

[deep]

some are going to have a field day with this picture

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fucking insane that Reddit found the identity of one of the bombers.

I spend hours on that stupid site every week looking at pictures of Emma Watson and reading about Game of Thrones. And a random user on there cracked the case in the biggest homeland attack since 9/11?

Wow. What a world.

 

[BoMac]

They also threw shit at the wall and identified innocent people.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Spoiler

 

[deep]

do we have 3 suspects? one dead, one arrested, they had him strip naked and one on the run

or is this two incidents tonight?

Heartbreaking video of Sunil Tripathi's family asking him to come home:

For Sunny - YouTube

Feel bad for this family.

 

[mobvok]

the naked man is innocent; apparently wrong place at wrong time.

 

[mobvok]

NBC News just now: one suspect dead (black hat), one at large (white hat). Confirmed connection to marathon bombers from two independent high-ranked sources.

FWIW

conflicts with Boston Globe report of one in custody? or did he die after injuries

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Man, that video is brutal.

Also, I couldn't help but cringe when the girl towards the end said "You need to come home...so we can watch the marathon..."

She was talking about a marathon of the TV show NCIS, but still. It's late and my mind immediately went there. Just fucking crazy, and so sad.

I hope they get his ass, but are able to bring him in alive. Sounds like maybe they weren't able to do that with his accomplice.

 

[deep]

I guess this is Mike Mulugeta

multiple gun shot wounds

 

[mobvok]

DA release:

carjacking?!?

 

[deep]

the naked man is innocent; apparently wrong place at wrong time.

thanks. maybe he was the car jack victim??

 

[mobvok]

Infowars.com somehow failed to worm their way into the 4am press conference

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I think I'm gonna get some sleep. This has been an unforgettable night. The fucking internet, man.

I really hope they're able to get Tripathi alive.

 

[deep]

sorry, not me

if this Sunny guy makes it through the night, I will be surprised

I can not imagine him being able to lie low and fade into the background

he could (should) just take his own exit and not hurt anyone else

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck it, I'm not going to sleep yet.

What happened to the reports I read 20 minutes ago of Tripathi locking himself inside of some building? Was that anything?
