sorry slam - **** is going down in boston tonight. i am listening to police scanner of boston and losing my mind a little bit. my experience in vancouver was a weekend in a youth hostel, with a brand new ex-con roommate who was desperate to drag me to strip clubs and use me to score cocaine. i mostly walked around the streets and drove around the local area to avoid him while i was there.

Some cameraman on CNN said they have a suspect in the MIT shooting and it matches the description of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Now another CNN reporter says he can't confirm that they are linked.

MSNBC has way better footage than CNN if anyone is watching.

aside from 9/11 this is the craziest internet night i have experienced. twitter is amazing right now, and this police scanner is more than i bargained for. i've never listened live to anything like this.

For anyone who's trying to keep up with all this there is a dude on reddit updating a post with everything he hears/sees in a stream or on the news, etc.
http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1cnwms/mods_removed_thread_live_updates_of_boston/

This is crazy. My roommate is freaking out (because he's from there) and I'm not likely to be getting much sleep tonight regardless.

EDIT: There's a dude still up and about and he's leaving a trail of pressure cooker bombs. Sound familiar?

It's good they were not from other side of border from Georgia. That could lead to civil war.

Has this been posted before?

Usually I can't stand the mocking of homosexuality, but this is funny as hell.
