    EDIT 4:56 EDT: Package at 540 Memorial Drive presents no danger. All is safe at MIT.

    LOL. Someone is wrong. But who?

    Man you can't trust the government or the media anymore.

    Outside of your loved one's, can't seem to find many other people you can trust.

    EDIT 5:02 EDT: NBC is reporting "foreign military training". Nothing to confirm this is the case.
    EDIT 5:00 EDT: Sunrise in 56 minutes.

    LOL. Wow. I'm guessing the COPS been following REDDIT and CNN and decided that their Suspect with the white cap must be Sunil. Boy, this is a mess. Mike Mulugeta? What nationality is that dude? Because when I google the his last name it's mostly black guy but does he look black? Is he also mix like Sunil?

    They were here less than a year and they had access to all these guns, explosives, and grenades?!?

    That is just disturbing if true.

    I'm going to say this foreign military training thing is bull. None of it clicks with what we've learned tonight.

    That skull punisher thing though, there might be something there. paging d12

    Crazy thing is, that suspect white hat is still not in custody.

    He is probably hiding in someone's basement or bushes like the coward he is.

    Something tells me that their handguns and rifles were not necessarily obtained legally.
