[NEWS] Explosions near Boston Marathon Finish Line (UPDATE: MIT/Watertown shootout w/ suspects)

Yee, gotta shoot him 6 or 7 times to make sure he doesn't get it.

 

You know what I meant. If he turns himself into a threat, then officers often (and are trained to) empty their gun. And wasn't there more than one in the room. 1 or 6 rounds doesn't really matter, right?

 

We're out of control.

A terrorist US soldier kills 16 in Afghanistan and will avoid the death penalty for simply pleading guilty.

And then you have stuff like this. You guys wonder why so many people despise us.

 

I guess a few bad apples really do ruin it for 315,000,000 people.

 

The same could be said for over a Billion people.

 

You are quick to be fully believing this story. What possible motivation would the FBI have for shooting a guy in the back of the head, execution style?

 

who knows..maybe he was told something by Tsarnaev that would implicate the feds covering up something about the Boston bombing? The feds had their hands all over this pair years ago.. something is being covered up regardless of what msm (their mouthpiece) is spewing today.

Just like not jumping to believing this story.. we need to do the same for the police. No longer can you expect Feds are trustworthy due to past and recent history. (esp with the regime that's in office now)

alls I know is you have 4 agents, 1 unarmed man that supposedly had fighting skills, he ends up suicided by cop. Regardless if he jumped at one of them, it's pretty pathetic 4 feds couldn't or wouldn't try and subdue him. If there was actually a shot to the back of the head.. that's very telling.

 

I....kind of thought that was the point of pleading guilty.

 

Are you talking about Muslims?

 

[rquoter]VANCOUVER, Canada — After dance teacher Adrianne Haslet-Davis lost part of her leg in the Boston Marathon bombing last year, she made a promise to herself that she would perform again. So, Haslet-Davis spent the next year of her life working with Hugh Herr, who outfitted her with a revolutionary prosthetic limb, to relearn the basic dance moves that once came naturally to her.

Onstage at TED in Vancouver Wednesday, she danced publicly for the first time since her amputation. The audience stood on their feet throughout Haslet-Davis' performance, as she sashayed across the stage. Meanwhile, Herr, who was speaking at the conference, stood to Haslet-Davis’ right, out of the spotlight, beaming with pride. Although her performance was short, it was clearly a triumph — her tears were visible from the back row.[/rquoter]

(CNN) -- The accused Boston Marathon bombers used Christmas lights and model-car parts to make the explosives, prosecutors said in court documents obtained by CNN Wednesday.

"The Marathon bombs were constructed using improvised fuses made from Christmas lights and improvised, remote-control detonators fashioned from model car parts," federal prosecutors said in a motion filed Wednesday. "These relatively sophisticated devices would have been difficult for the Tsarnaevs to fabricate successfully without training or assistance from others."

To obtain explosive fuel for the pressure cooker bombs, the filing says, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev "appeared to have crushed and emptied hundreds of individual fireworks containing black powder."

Authorities say Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, planted bombs at the finish line of the 2013 race. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during the manhunt that paralyzed Boston. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to killing four people and wounding more than 200.


It's not time yet for prosecutors to make their full case against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but as attorneys spar over what evidence can be used in the high-profile death penalty case against him, the description of what materials were used to make the bombs was among several new details about last year's terror attack and its aftermath included in court documents.

The motion also includes additional details about the note Dzhokhar Tsarnaev allegedly wrote while he was hiding out inside a boat in a backyard in Watertown, Massachusetts.

"God has a plan for each person," Tsarnaev wrote, according to the court document. "Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions."

In their 29-page motion, prosecutors detail Tsarnaev's medical care while at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, arguing that information from more than 11 hours of FBI interrogations while he was hospitalized should be admissible.

Prosecutors cite several reasons why they needed to question Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights against self-incrimination and without allowing him access to a lawyer.

Evidence law enforcement had at the time, they argue, suggested a possible larger conspiracy. FBI agents had "reason to believe that the Tsarnaevs had accomplices and that they or others might have built additional bombs that posed a continuing danger to public safety."

The note scribbled inside the boat referred to others, saying, "we are promised victory and we shall surely get it," according to Wednesday's motion.

Also, a search of the Tsarnaevs' homes failed to uncover traces of the black firework powder used to build the pressure cooker bombs, suggesting it had been built elsewhere and with help. The Christmas lights used as fuses and the model-car remote control used to detonate the devices also suggested a level of sophistication that suggested terror training, prosecutors said.

Tsarnaev was lucid while hospitalized and was not coerced into making any of the statements, they argue.

According to the court documents, Tsarnaev was questioned about 22 hours after undergoing surgery for multiple gunshot wounds.

He had been weaned off the sedative propofol, but was still on pain medication. FBI agents questioned him on and off over a nearly 38-hour period, conducting 14 interviews and giving Tsarnaev frequent breaks, including a 10½-hour stretch so he could sleep, the court documents say.

Prosecutors say the FBI's interview took time because doctors had performed a tracheostomy to allow greater airflow. Tsarnaev initially answered by nodding or writing in a notebook, then later spoke his answers. Although Tsarnaev denied anyone else was involved, authorities believed he might be lying or concealing the involvement of others, according to prosecutors.

Government officials have maintained that Tsarnaev was questioned under what is called the "public safety" exception to the Miranda warnings, which allows for limited questioning of a suspect by law enforcement to determine whether there is imminent danger of an attack.

"The fact that Tsarnaev was in the hospital recovering from bullet wounds does not mean the interview was coercive or that the agents who conducted it did anything wrong," the prosecutors' motion says.

Tsarnaev, prosecutors allege, wanted to explain the bombings and take credit for them.

"As the note he wrote in Watertown on the inside of the boat reflects, Tsarnaev was eager to take credit for his crimes and 'shed some light' on their meaning. That indeed is a common practice among terrorists," the motion says.

Tsarnaev's attorneys have said that evidence from the hospital interrogations shouldn't be allowed in court, arguing that he was coerced into making incriminating statements.

They argue that the statements were involuntary, that the public safety exception agents used didn't apply to the interrogation and that Tsarnaev's first court appearance was postponed to allow for additional questioning.

FBI agents questioned Tsarnaev, his attorneys argue, "despite the fact that he quickly allayed concerns about any continuing threats to public safety, repeatedly requested a lawyer, and begged to rest as he recovered from emergency surgery and underwent continuing treatment for multiple and serious gunshot wounds."

They also argue that the FBI agents deliberately misled Tsarnaev about his brother's death.

Prosecutors say that FBI agents didn't tell Tsarnaev about his brother's death "or the manner of that death, to spare him emotional trauma."

CNN first learned of the new court documents on Twitter.

Reddit discovered these two guys right? Good job Reddit.

 

No they didn't, they sparked a witchhunt against a close friend of a friend of mine who previously went missing a week prior to the bombing. On reddit the Boston bombing is an example of reddit detectives gone wrong.

 

It was a carjack victim who managed to escape and report the authorities. The main suspect likely would've left the city if that didn't happen.

Pretty interesting story...

 

That evening was one the craziest of my lives. I stayed up all night following the story on police radio, twitter, and reddit. Crazy!

How do you say, "don't bend over" in Russian?

 

Be strong?

Really?

 

Yeah, because he's weak otherwise.
