Re: 2013 Boston Marathon

I think there is a pretty good chance that they panicked. Tried to wait until dark and then get the hell out of town.

Re: 2013 Boston Marathon

Look, they played the freakin' Bruins game on Wednesday. If their goal was to keep the city/country under some cloud of fear, they would've canceled all public events until further notice. Except that there wasn't currently a manhunt in progress. And at that point, carrying on was the proper course...

Re: 2013 Boston Marathon

There is a level of overreaction for sure. But a few things seems almost necessary given that they were in a manhunt this morning. 1)All roads out closed/monitored. Trunk checks, etc. at a bare minimum. 2) All places where a guy could blend in also put a large number of people in immediate danger if...

Re: 2013 Boston Marathon

It's a twitter account (possibly fake) with the name of the suspect and 51 seconds before I posted that it tweeted "Do Not Approach"
