so what did those ar-15 clowns have to say about this development?

(i don't really want to visit them but if someone already did and would like to share. thanks)

Pretty similar to this thread with a pinch of racism and xenophobia. One dude thinks they are white Occupy Wall-street punks. Some more duders think the pics are fake.
 
If he took the first right down the alley on Fairfield, he'd walk right by a loading dock camera.

There's hardly any info there.

Where is the picture of them dropping off their bags?

The FBI has video of them dropping the bags at the exact bomb site and the fabric matches the remnants of bag they found.

The video has not yet been released to the public.
 
In case anyone still believes the new photo is Photoshoped: http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=815d9f2ad64931ea0aa5dcd8715bc5b591063f77.226282

Error Level Analysis (ELA) identifies areas within an image that are at different compression levels. With JPEG images, the entire picture should be at roughly the same level. If a section of the image is at a significantly different error level, then it likely indicates a digital modification.

Also, wasn't there a third device? Assuming they were all pressure cooker bombs, there should be either a third backpack or person, yeah?
 
KING ADDIES was an accidental ban on my part -- although I don't agree with him about the picture, it seems like it was at least an attempt at a good faith discussion of an unofficial photo versus, INFO WARZ DOT COMMM INFO WARS INFO WARS!!!! TELL THE TRUTH!!!!

Whew, I wondered. I disagreed with the guy too but thought a banhammer would've been kind of harsh, even by GAF's standards.
 
To those with a comment 'hopefully with a bullet in his mind' etc etc, these two are still suspects, correct? Unless I am missing something here. They are not yet confirmed as the perpetrators, yeah?

I hope we all not jumping too immediately to conclusions here before we have 100% conclusive proof that they are really the perpetrators. Because it's not like the authorities never made a mistake in identifying perpetrators before, and for a crime this scale, the effect could be disastrous if we name the wrong persons.

I didn't read the whole thread, but *if* they are already *confirmed* as the perpetrators, then disregard this post.

The FBI has video footage of one of them leaving their bag at the bomb site. They are also calling them "suspects", which in law enforcement parlance means "we are going to arrest them". If they were "persons of interest" it would be our everyday definition of "suspicion".

thumbs up! keep that out of here.
 
What if they did a dry run days prior? I hope the FBI is checking a few days worth of video.

How long do stores usually keep security cam footage?
 
Haha oh my god. Everyone needs to listen to Hannity right now. The people on there are hilarious...

1. They are saying that Suspect 2 is wearing a wig, makeup to enhance the size of his nose.

2. Nationals from another country

3. Still in the Boston area.
 
You think there's anyway these two could have left the country before the pictures were known?

It'd be difficult to even get out of Boston through South Station.

You can drive from the east to the west coast in under 48 hours. No way they are anywhere near boston.
 
40lbs plus loaded with metal, 50 maybe. I have an 8qt one, so with water it can be 20lbs. I'm sure if I filled with nails it would be at least twice that.

I think you are severely underestimating the mass of those ball bearings. If the internet is to be believed, steel ball bearings have a density of about 7,800 kg/m^3. We could reasonably assume a pressure cooker to have a volume of .1 m^3. Also, under ideal circumstances spheres can fill no more than about 74% of any volume, so I'll be reasonable and assume 40% of any volume taken up is actually filled in this case. With these numbers, a quantity of ball bearings completely filling a pressure cooker might have a mass of about 700 pounds! Yes, I had to check this multiple times to be sure. You can then divide that final mass by whatever you like to reach an acceptable carrying amount, but nonetheless it's clear that any significant amount would represent a heavy burden.

????

I think all are definite possibilities. He's got a huge snoz.
 
I'm not sure if they would leave the country. It depends if they plan on doing more attacks. Just doing the attacks doesn't make sense without having a message or another plan to go with it.

They are from Montreal, yes. They were called the Expos back then, though.
 
Why would they stay so close? That makes absolute no sense.

It's been a full 48 hours since the attack, they could be in Benghazi for all we know by now.

You're right, we don't know where they are, which is why it's not hilarious to think that they're still in the Boston area. We simply do not know.

Put yourself in their shoes, would you stay in the Boston area where everyone knows exactly what you look like? People in the Boston area are watching the news 24/7 why would they stay in an area that they would be easily caught.

Usually when bad things happen, people flee to far away.

Well, hopefully we'll find out soon enough where these monsters are hiding.
