How bout No, Hewson?

But I'm hungry.
I'm in East Boston...aside from the airport stepped up police presence, doesn't seem to be any activity on this side of the harbor.

One of my favorite random tweets from this morning was that everything in the Watertown area was shut down except for the Dunkin' Donuts.

There are reports that the younger brother was attending UMass Dartmouth, and possibly had some sort of wrestling scholarship. Tv station interviewed a girl who went to high school with him, showed yearbook pictures of him wrestling. Said he was known as a class clown type. Believe it was Cambridge Rindge and Latin. Reports that he checked in at school by swiping his ID card, at the gym or something like that on Tuesday the day after the marathon. If he was going to school there on a daily basis it's doubtful that he was living in Cambridge, maybe more like the older brother was and that's where the younger one was when school wasn't in session? I don't know. Don't know if he was living in a dorm, maybe he was commuting. Just wondering about the planning of all of this, etc. Suppose older brother could have been more of a mastermind.

Supposedly the older brother had more bullet holes in him than the doctors could even count, and maybe blast wounds. They were allegedly lobbing explosives at the officers. If you saw the neighbor's video of the shootout and heard the audio, that's completely believable. The MIT police officer that they murdered, he was only 26 years old. They shot an MBTA officer, in the gunfight I assume. He is reported to be still alive.

There's an easy cop joke there...maybe I'll leave that to our resident comic from Wisconsin.

They said on WBZ they evacuated his dorm as a precaution this morning, so he was in a dorm

PhilsFan · 04-19-2013, 11:09 AM

Jason Whitlock just implied that Uncle Ruslan might be Sgt. Brody from Homeland.

Yikes. Guess he was able to be involved in all of this even in a living situation like that. But these days technology makes that very easy. I wonder what his roommate is thinking right now.

That was nice.

CNN is reporting that this is his Twitter account, as confirmed by multiple friends of his: https://twitter.com/J_tsar

I imagine that will get shut down soon.

trojanchick99 · 04-19-2013, 11:29 AM

Looking at it, it's so normal.

MrsSpringsteen · 04-19-2013, 11:29 AM

WBZ reporting that the younger brother just became a US citizen last year-on September 11th

Black Hawk helicopters and police from all over New England are in the area in Watertown (it's near a mall) that's been closed off. They found the Honda CRV, he wasn't in it.

That is so Masshole. Nice.

MSNBC is reporting that the markets responded positively to the Uncle Ruslan interview.

trojanchick99 · 04-19-2013, 11:52 AM

So depending on who you believe, the White House situation room has either been "activated" or "evacuated".

The father is saying from Russia that if the younger son (who he calls an angel) is killed "all hell will break loose".
