As shady looking as that dude is, you can't say he's "just chilling while people run." The video is moving so fast that you can't tell if he's running or not.

I think there would have been 2 people killed in Boston since the bomb was detonated. Don't take it the wrong way, this terrible but what about the average person who just passes away, and nobody speaks about them, they aren't on the news, what about the 30 people in Attack in Iraq killed today?

Not just 30 today, they have that pretty much every day. Or the 11 afghan kids dead a week ago in bombings. Or the thousands civilians dead as "collateral damage" in US bombings over Pakistan.

There are a thousand big tragedies we choose to ignore, and choose to only care about the smaller ones that are next to us and on the media at all hours.

Get over yourselves, the both of you.

Not gonna take it to a personal level on this kind of thread, i'm entitled to my opinion and to caring the same about other victims and voicing them.

I've learned how to interpret the news now. It took a while to get used to but basically whatever they report is what definitely didn't happen.

-There were foreign terrorists who flew 2 planes into the WTC and Pentagon? Such a tragedy, but at least we can go invade their country and kill millions of their people while stealing all of their natural resources.
-There's an evil Libyan leader named Ghadafi? Let's just hire and arm a bunch of rebels to go kill him because here in America we don't try people in courts, we're savages. We'll celebrate his death video all over the news.
-There's a Syrian government who doesn't see eye-to-eye with the USA? Let's fund and arm a rebel group with as much ammunition tax payer dollars can afford. We'll act like we have nothing to do with it and we'll take the sides of the Syrian rebels who take it upon themselves to kill women and kids.

I can't remember the last time I watched the news, it was probably years ago.

I'm sure the FBI knows exactly who these guys are, dont see why theyd release the pictures if they didnt just so these guys can go into hiding.

In America, that's called "Liberating" them.

An MIT officer was just fatally wounded on campus near the stata center. Shooter is armed and dangerous and still at large. Unclear if this is connected to the bombings or not but I feel like it probably is. Helicopters scanning the city right now and police cars keep coming in.

Im not leaving my house tonight. Tense situation. So upset for my city. Rough, rough week.

Stay safe everyone in Cambridge/Boston.

Notice how clear those photos are compared to the FBI photos that are so grainy and blurry by comparison
And notice how the FBI says that no other photos besides the ones they released are credible.

The whole way they have approached this situation is beyond suspicious.

I'm not one who assigns to conspiracy theories, but one thing I always said was that if those conspiracy theorists were right like that uncle you have that goes on and on about JFK, that in the 21st Century era of Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and cam phones, etc than it would be a whole lot easier to challenge the government version of events

And that may be exactly what's going on. No way they could try the "lone wolf" thing with all those photos.

And the most suspicious thing of all is that the bag of the blurry grainy guys they released is the wrong size and the wrong color

If this is a cover up it sure is a sloppy job.

As you can tell the boy is Martin Richard, the girl in green fleece is his sister that lost a leg...

There are two suspects, why do you assume they had the same bag? The FBI said they have vid of these guys dropping their bags minutes before the explosion at the site of the explosion, and then video of them loitering around afterwards watching while everyone ran away. And they spoke a guy who saw one of them put down the backpack, then lost both his legs in the explosion, and he gave them a description.

I don't get why people are second-guessing the FBI. They have so much more information than you do.
