Himself. That would be cool. Make him do it while heavily guarded and still suffering from his wounds, the putz.

Though please save this particular thread... it has to be unique to DR and deserves being remembered.

Might take me a couple of days... mods lemme know if its a waste of time i guess.

I actually had thought of the same thing.

I was thinking of saving all the media from the thread and making a new thread but not moving any of it since there are so many comments that are off of them too. Kudos to the mods for letting us keep it going. I'm hoping they thought the same thing with keeping this omnibus and copying it somewhere else. Was pretty epic - in my humble active participant opinion.

I truly believe he was manipulated and drawn into his older brother's extremist plot. When his brother was shot down, he took off and hid like the coward he is. He hid there for almost a day and eventually gave into police in an uneventful surrender. His brother wanted, apparently, the extremist 'glory'. </QUOTE>

Yes, but we don't know how long his brother was feeding him this stuff. Maybe he was more shy about it because of his friends or life. He did go about his business like no big deal so he wasn't cowering until they were searching for him, he'd tried to blow up cops and he ran over his brothers head. You won't convince me that the police didn't leak the morgue photo to make this kid feel bad enough and wreck him emotionally. Obviously the older brother is the influence but not judge and jury of the kid, so seeing what HE did to his own brother... mental mindfuck to get a criminal - we knew they were checking social media so....

I was 'expecting' a bigger bang at the end, because of how everything had played out all week, and I'm sure if the roles had been reversed, it would have been much bigger. I mean, the photos of his arrest show that he wasn't even wearing the vest like his brother was.

I don't disagree but then again, remember, he's alone and on foot. Explosives, guns, what have you are not only heavy but they are obviously tip offs. He's not even a fat kid who can get away with some grenades in his pocket. He's 50lbs wet. He'd lost oodles of blood. I wouldn't doubt he was at least down to 50% strength, if not lower - and extremely exhausted, tired, hungry and emotionally wrecked and racked. Probably only had a handgun, perhaps MIT officer's gun which is why we didn't see many shots during the first shootout. My guess is he TRIED to go out with a "blaze of glory" - but the police refused to give him his way. He used up his bullets trying suicide by cop. I've also still have yet to see any confirmation on what types of guns, if any they had during the chase. Perhaps the only thing they had then was bombs and the MIT gun? The rounds were the police trying to stop them?

{QUOTE]Also - the reason they didn't 'find' him at first was because he started within their 20 block perimeter and stole a car. Then he hid in a backyard (they found pooled blood) for awhile. A little while later, he breached the perimeter (probably before it was fully in place), and he ran two blocks further and hid in the boat. Everyone was told to stay inside, so the home owner didn't notice the extended ladder and blood until after they told everyone they could leave their house. The police didn't even look on the block or in the boat, because it was *right* outside their 20 block perimeter.

So the story this morning is that the boat owner saw a strap that was messed up with the tarp, thought the ladder was wonky, got the ladder then looked inside. I haven't seen yet this morning (but I'm still catching up) exactly when they think he went in there. I always thought though - the lockdown is a double edged sword. You keep people safe, but then you have no one helping you look. It was also my impression that they did do a sweep of the house and yard, but didn't check the boat because it was so covered. *IF* this is true, then the suspect either moved in after they came through, or they didn't see the strap danging. Either way - he would have still heard commotion all day.

The official story is gunshot to the head and neck - how did he not bleed out? What did it get? An ear?

Curse you stupid quote blocks! Obviously, my comments are now quoted in with yours, my bad.

This is supposedly the first suspect dead.

This thread and all the info in it was why I joined the site. Awesome info posted here as well as links to back stuff up. I came here first each time I heard there was breaking news to see what the news was and if there was more info than what was being reported. Thank you!

[Weatherly]

Here's this of the second one..

[Catsratz]

Almost forgotten....the MIT cop killed seemed like a great guy too.
