Boston Marathon Explosions

If you want a cellphone trigger you just buy a pay-as-you-go phone with cash in a dumpy store with no security/cameras. basically untraceable

I would think they could trace it to a vendor, and then do a lot of hard work from there to see if they could dig anything up.

they tried that one 'the wire'. it worked, but it was a challenge.

What really sucks is that this guy notice the dude drop the bag at his feet and didn't think anything of it at the time. Man I hope they catch these guys. I just can't understand how someone can do that to other human beings.

Crazy that he survive it being at his feet and all. I still get chills seeing how pale he became...

Ah the inevitable tv reference. I kind of got a kick out of hearing Napolitono say this isn't an episode of NCIS sometimes we have to take our time.

And now a shooting on the MIT campus in Boston. An officer is down, and the shooter is on the loose.

There is a reason they call them 'burners' though. I doubt the cell comes into the hunt. Much better odds a cashier at a store they buy food at, or something along those lines is what IDs them.

The one guy has a nose that people will remember. These guys live, eat, work and shop somewhere. With the media penetration of these pics, they will be recognized, and in very short order I would think.

I noticed the nose as well, but didn't want to be labelled a racist for pointing that out. He looks like he's of middle-eastern descent to me, but the pictures aren't the greatest. Hopefully they're good enough though.

 

I grew up in iran and came to this country to go to school. the darker one looks either Iraqi or afghani.

i guess you have not seen 'the wire'. i was not using it as a citation for accuracy. i will use any excuse to reference 'the wire'. but also, it is impossible to trace a burner. they buy them with cash at places with security cameras on a 24 hour loop, at best.

Lots of rumors going around that a kid named Sunil Tripathi is suspect #2. He went missing a month ago.

Tschu has that stuff on the previous page. looks like some ass-hole went to their family's facebook page and started spouting off on there about him being the bombing suspect.

No I was a little to young to watch it in it's hay day. I know it's not on the dopy level that CSI shows are though.

this has nothing to do with this topic, but i implore everyone to watch 'the wire'. i did not see it while it was on the air, but i bought it on itunes, and then the dvd's, and it is an incredible series.

Campus police officer shot and killed on MIT campus. May not be related, but figured it was worth posting. If you're not familiar with Boston MIT is basically right across the river in Cambridge which is North of Boston proper.

The Sunil Tripathi stuff keeps getting more and more compelling.

 

Anyway here's a zoomed-in view of the white hat suspect from the picture beanman posted:

slow and painful death sounds good to me for both of them. I would stick them in a small steal box in the desert heat filled with rats and cobras. lock the door and burry the key.
