    Reddit is reporting they are the target of a 'malicious DDoS' at the moment.

    From the point of the investigators and law enforcement, that is a really stupid and dangerous assumption to make that could cost many other people their lives. From the point of someone sitting on their ass posting on a BBS, it's harmless. I am not speaking towards the 2nd scenario.

    Watching CNN earlier, they had a friend of Dzhokhar talking about him. He described a pretty normal kid. He said that up until a year or so ago, he was part of his circle of friends and that he would party and drink.

    Here on this buzzfeed link: http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/what-we-know-about-boston-marathon-bomb-suspect-dzhokhar-tsa

    You'll see that Dzhokhar was a pretty accomplished teen, recognized for Wrestling at his high school and given a scholarship from the city of Cambridge.


    IMHO, the older brother self radicalized ("I don't understand Americans") and turned his brother.

    It's okay if they assume. They still have to do their job and investigate. If they acted on their assumption and didn't investigate then that would be a problem.

    Name of MIT police offer that was killed is Sean Collier, a 26 year old male.

    It appears that he was shot in his car after calling in the tip that alerted the police to the location of the boys.

    Hero.

    The foxnews online stream is what I'm following. It's very good.

    Just heard the tape of police saying the suspect is saying he will kill everyone because they killed his brother.

    Were these guys some of the ones that the 4chan/reddit photos focused on earlier?

    I think the two that they focused on were different and turned out to be incident.

    Debatable, condolences to his family and friends though. Incredibly young. :(
