King, your computerworld link is now a "page not found" link.

FYI.

Thanks

I checked it after I posted and saw it no longer worked so I made mention of that in the "edit" line...

It worked yesterday!

I found this, FWIW: http://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/bo...uspect-122895/

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy or anything like that, it just seems odd that there was never any resolution/explanation as to the older guy.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Something about the guy not being read his Miranda Rights irks me. Trust me, I wish they could torture the guy and hang his body over the city hall, but just something about the feds not reading him his rights doesn't sit well with me.

They don't have to in this situation.

Here's a nice summary explaining: http://www.volokh.com/2013/04/20/tsa...iranda-rights/

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

Gotcha...I certainly hope the authorities AND the media look into it...

As I said, I'm not a great internet researcher, so I was wondering if there's any mentions on police blotters or anything...

I also wonder why, when the networks were trying to make up enough stuff to fill the time it took for this to play out, this story wasn't part of the dialog...

It SEEMS to have ceased to be a story as of Friday afternoon...about an hour after it happened...it is NOT a typical occurrence that doesn't merit follow up IMHO...

Considering how many networks and news outlets were on this story, why aren't they trying to fill up the 24 hour news cycle with some of this?

Curious!

That's all I'm sayin...

I don't agree with the thought that it isn't a typical occurrence. People attempt to "go out in a blaze of glory" all the time, unless they take others with them (guy in upstate NY, Newtown shooting, Columbine etc.), its largely ignored other then by local media. Its counterproductive to publicize every incident as more people would look to become "famous" in this fashion.

Its highly likely, that had some of us not been listening to the police scanner that this info would have never made it out of the police station.

Thanks!

I wonder if this writer is going to update the story?

EDIT: there's some interesting posts re: "old man" on the cedargrove via reddit link...

Speculation, but a couple folks claimed contacts at CBS that were told to ignore the story...

Who knows?

Which, is my point...

Standard procedure with terror suspects. I'll try to find the link on it but suspects were interrogated without being Mirandized in both the failed car bomb in Times Square and the Underwear bomber.

The fact that the police have a video clearly showing the suspect placing the bomb on the ground is pretty much the only evidence needed to convict the suspect.

If this is true.....

A) Wow. The nerve.

B) That person has to be questioned.

Rachel Streitfeld @streitfeldcnn: Student tells @CLawrenceCNN Tsarnaev said of the bombings: "tragedies happen man, like these things happen around the world, it's crazy."

That mother****er. **** him.

Think that's assuming they discussed plot/getting away with it, rather than casual talk about a national current event in their city?

No, I assumed when I saw that earlier that it meant they chatted about it casually as outsiders.

He probably wasn't even the one to bring it up but I imagine it was a pretty common conversation there at the time for all the students.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

I read that he went to classes and parties the following days as if nothing happened. Unreal.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

"Run over" might be too strong of a term (at the very least perhaps too broad). Maybe it just means as the younger brother backed up his car, he struck him with his bumper, knocking him over, and drove forward. Doesn't necessarily mean he hit him very hard, and most certainly doesn't mean the tires trampled any part of his body.

I'm really not sure either way, though.

I saw an interview on CNN yesterday with one of the officers on scene while that happened. It sounded like it wasn't deliberate at all and he probably didn't even know he hit his brother. He said something about the older brother being on the ground, from being shot or something I don't remember, and then they saw the SUV coming right at them like the younger brother was trying to ram the cops.

That was my point, I was referring to the 'the nerve/interview' comment.

Re: Terrorist Attack at the Boston Marathon

It sure looks like the older brother man...would you like to see it?

No thanks.

I first became aware of this incident in this thread...not sure what page or post number...

I googled and found this:

http://blogs.computerworld.com/cloud...erwatch-itbwcw

I also found a post on it from a American living in Korea that had the exact same info on a social network page he was posting on:

http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=426351.14688

Interestingly, these are the only three mentions I can find...

It's not like this is a common "non newsworthy occurrence" that happens regularly...

Might be "mis information" as you say, but it is curious how detailed / similar all of these accounts are...

I don't think it's misinformation, just people mis-interpreting what they're hearing. Maybe the person was acting suspicious, wearing a vest and had a cell phone in his hand. Given the circumstances the police would need to proceed with extreme caution and prepare for the worst. That doesn't mean that everything being discussed on the police scanner is true.

If this whole event has taught us anything, it's that the internet investigators, amateurs who listen to police scanners and most of the media don't have a clue what's really happening.
