For more than 24 hours, CNN, AP, Fox News, the Boston Globe, and others have been denounced for grabbing at a story that everyone wanted. Man, I must say that journalists can be a constipated lot - so full of themselves and their high-and-mighty attitudes about news gathering. They got it wrong!! By God, they should be drummed out of our noble profession post-haste!! (Funny how some of the loudest critics are also some of the least talented journalists.). Wednesday's false alarm was predictable - there's just a lot of noise coming out of the investigation from a million different directions and lots of pressure to find the scumbags responsible."
Originally Posted By hopemax So is anyone up following tonight's events in Cambridge/Watertown? I went to bed knowing that the police officer at MIT had been shot.

And then there was a possible robbery at 7-11, a carjacking, a police chase through Watertown, a shootout, explosives used against the responders. And there may or may not be someone in custody. No one is, appropriately, saying if tonight's events are related to the marathon bombing. I just heard that the incident at MIT and the car jacking are related. But it makes you wonder what is the better alternative...these are the guys, or these are unrelated incidents. If it's the latter, then there are some really stupid criminals in the Boston area to try anything when the city is on this high alert.
Originally Posted By hopemax So I guess not. So there are starting to be cautious reports that this is all related. Suspect #1 (black hat) may be dead, Suspect #2 (white hat) is still at large. Also reports that the police are saying explosives are everywhere, and were thrown out of car windows during the chase. But with all the erroneous information we've already been through, it's hard to believe anything. I'll be interested to see what is confirmed in the morning. Sad and scary night.
Originally Posted By hopemax Ah, now there are names of the 2 men floating around the internets, heard on the Boston police scanner. One of which is a Brown student reported missing a month ago, whose picture does look like Suspect #2. While I'm trying my best not to engage in speculation, it would seem to indicate the police are operating like this is all related.

Also, the report this morning, if it's true, is that the family came here in 2002, so they would have been quite young -- In other words, they didn't come here with the intent to do this. I hope they get the second guy before he does any more damage. We'll all just have to find out more as it develops.

Originally Posted By hopemax It is wild. I was hoping to wake up and find out that the other suspect had been apprehended, but unfortunately not. As a tweet I saw last night, "if this was a movie plot, we wouldn't believe it." The names from last night's police scanner are not the names from this mornings aftermath. So definitely more caution unless it comes directly from police/FBI. I see there are already conflicting reports of how long the men had been in the US. Chechen... I have a bad feeling about this, in terms of how the country is going to react.
