    Really? Fox has been talking about Al Qaeda for hours. CNN has been talking about how they were muslim and when they were "radicalized".

    one reporter on NBC said intel officials stated a "group dynamic has started to emerge." but no more detail.

    I'm cool. I'm chilled. But... do you mean "others"... the people who were given a direct order from authorities... and are disobeying it... I shouldn't tell them what to do? :confused:

    I've had Fox on for hours. It's come up, but I think it was only mentioned by Jennifer Griffin in relation to Chechen rebels in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda in Iraq.

    No kidding. There seems to have been a rash of sales of these in the last few days:

    [​IMG]

    No one here has a clue what motivated these kids. And taking single quotes either out of context or from emotional people or looking at snippets of facebook pages or twitter accounts isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

    This is the same nonsense that got those two Moroccan kids plastered all over the news and afraid for their lives.

    Bret Baier was just on talking about how they must have had "training" on how to carry out these operations, and investigators needed to look into if they had contact or travel to locations in the middle east.

    I'm pretty sure I'd be disowned. My parents aren't dumb enough to believe in such A conspiracy

    Brian Ross: Standing by for another briefing. We expect Governor and Mayor of Boston. ... The person in custody was someone who tried to breach the perimeter. They detained him but not connected to suspect number two in any way.

    Bianna: (Father): No financial woes. No reason they would need to rob a convenience store or do anything they're doing right now.

    Old: Brian Ross: Briefing postponed because of police activity down the road. They have someone in custody but NOT suspect number two and not a suspect connected to the two brothers.

    The Honda CR-V, that was in their custody. They used that when they went to 7-11 to hold it up and then departed in the Honda and used the Honda to block the car they carjacked and took off with both cars. ... They had the explosives in the Honda. That Honda has been located in Massachusetts.

    The briefing delayed because down the road here, they have taken someone into custody. We thought it was suspect two or someone connected with them. They're saying it's neither. Not sure why it is, as no one is supposed to be outside.

    Pierre Thomas: Police are closing in, getting closer to the suspect. Law enforcement officials emphasize this isn't over yet. They're increasingly confident they'll find the suspect and bring him to justice.

    Closing in, they're confident they're going to get him. Other associates, that's still an active investigation. They need to be able to rule that out before they can put things into a normal situation.

    Bianna: The phone is not in service. ... The father, can't get over how shocked he is over what he is seeing on TV. He said these are not his sons, not typical behavior for them. He's convinced the police are using excessive force, when I tell him they're armed and dangerous. He says none of this makes sense to him. The father spent 10 years in the U.S. working in the auto supply industry. He's in ill health which is why he moved back to Russia last year.

    --Spoke with sons Monday after bombing.
    --Sons assured him they weren't there and were fine. They don't frequent these events.
    --Says sons have no experience with weapons/military training.
    --I asked him, we found a photo of your son standing feet away from a boy who died. He said his heart goes out to that family but he can't make sense of it because his sons, as far as he knew, weren't affiliated with terrorist groups.
    --No sense of urgency. Typical conversation he had with them. Younger son was going to travel to Russia in the coming days. His sons love America and love being here.
    --He has a message: give up, end peacefully, and come back to Russia.

    The uncle is definitely trying to downplay the Islam
    angle because it wasn't the real reason

    Though it might have been their underlying motive

    But the uncle has to try and save face for Muslims that aren't completely insane

    Actually, those are clues, and the investigators will definitely treat them as such. Especially the words of their friends and family members. Some narratives have a lot better backing at this point than others.

    Yeah I don't see what he's trying to cover up either. WNBA wanna explain to me what you're getting at? He seemed pretty honest to me.
