    Can you imagine the surprise on the robber's face if, while he was robbing the 7-11, a pressure cooker came flying at him?

    Tell them to stay curled up in their home with a gun ( or a golf club if they don't have a gun).

    WTH- he was at school Wednesday?

    http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/20...thon-bomber/8gbczia4qBiWMAP0SQhViO/story.html

    Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had passed an apparently normal day at the school Wednesday, according to a UMass official, working out at the gym, then sleeping in his single-unit room at the Pine Dale Hall dorm that night, while law enforcement officials were frantically scanning photos and video trying to identify him and his brother.

    School officials know he was there Wednesday because of card swipes, but it was not clear if he had been there earlier. He was described as good, typical student who played intramural soccer.

    Canada would be no good. They'd have to get somewhere where they could disappear and hide. Mexico might work but they'd be picked up at the border crossing most likely by the time they got there. Any exit point and they will get picked up and the FBI will know where they went to.

    They'd basically have to exit the country to another country that is rather porous where they could slip into a third country - all by the time their photos were distributed to police and exit points - which could have happened as early as Tuesday.

    They could have fled to the wilderness but I have a feeling they wouldn't last long there either.

    But they probably could have lasted longer if they could have gotten into Mexico.

    They shot the MIT cop before taking the guy's car. In cold blood. I think they may have thought the cop knew they were there and was waiting for them, so they kill him and flee quickly. They wouldn't care about leaving the other guy alive, if they thought the cop had called it in already. Plus, after shooting a cop, someone was going to call that in right away.

    I dont think they were just hanging out. It looks like they were probably planning something else, hence the other bombs (7?) discovered. They were/are probably ready to die, but want to do it their way.

    Yeah, the younger kid seems more normal. Sad that he got off track. I also hope that he gets caught alive, so maybe we can find out more of what was behind all this madness, but I'm afraid that will not happen.

    See this doesn't make any sense... I believe there's something much more to this. As in, this 19 year old is somehow innocent.

    Ran over? They just said he fled on foot during the latest news conference!

    Did he step on him?

    "He's still laying in that same position. The only heat signatures we see are that from his body."
