    I hadn't heard that. CNN said the guy they made get naked was a dark skinned individual who looked like suspect #1

    no the MIT shooting was separate.

    this is in Watertown and involved a car jacking of a Mercedes.

    there are two incidents

    ok the media is confusing the **** out of me. What I do know is that the MIT shooting guy was reported to be a black male. Is this related to that?

    lol this is crazy. Some are saying that the white dude they had on the ground was just a random guy walking home from work that happened to be wearing a backpack?

    no the MIT deal was unrelated to the Marathon stuff. He may have been black, I'm not sure.
