i just don't understand why one would rob a 7-11. they hardly have any money in the registers and stuff. they have to get the money by entering codes 1 at a time into some weird ass safe that spews out a few big bills at a time. i've seen it plenty at 7-11 before. it would take forever to get any worthwhile amount of money from a 7-11.

Did they actually rob the 7-11? Or are they considering the car-jacking at the 7-11, the robbery?

I know they dropped the car owner off at the Shell station near my house on their way to Watertown.

Annnnd Muslim. Not surprised. They still don't want to talk about that aspect of it because the media is so leftist.

Maybe they don't want to talk about it until it's found to actually be part of their motivation.

I bet the FBI knew who those guys were or had maybe possible ideas, but didn't know their where abouts. They posted the pics all over the news and internet to get tips from people to zero in on location.

I don't know how the latest chain of events went down, but it seems like perhaps they were near the MIT campus and the cop asked them to stop but they shot him? Not sure because he was found in his car I believe.

After that they probably panicked and went to try and use a different car to get away, robbing a 7-11 to grab some quick cash.

Seems like details of how the younger kid got away are scare. Perhaps they had him cornered but he threatened to kill himself so he was able to slip away because they want him alive.

And FWIW, an amazing job by the FBI analysts who were pouring over who knows how many hours of security tape watching for a split second amount of evidence.

Uncle giving interview. He is pissed.

This was my first thought this morning. Amazing work.

The media has pinned it on just about everyone at different points. They have been flailing around throughout this. No point in trying to take the position of being oppressed.

It was totally Margaret Thatchers fault! But yeah, the god damned media is out of control.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

it's not just the media though. you got all the wannabe news reports on twitter spreading around false info.

Uncle confirms they were not born in Chechnya but another province. Calls them "losers" who were given all the opportunities in the world but refused to integrate into American society. Says he hasn't spoken with his brother since 2009 and disassociated from the family several years ago. Has shamed the Chechnyan culture and nationality. Guy was on fire.

 

[MaxPayne63]

can you people who want to argue about and troll about politics and guns and all that crap take it elsewhere? i was previously coming to this thread to get a lot of the current information in a round up fashion but that isn't happening the last 100 or so posts.

someone get this thread back on topic!

It's easy enough to just skip over a post when I realize an escapee from the P&N cesspool is just bleating political talking points that I've heard a million times before, but it becomes a chore when that post is followed by an entire page of basically spam from people responding to them.

Uncle seems to be speaking out again - they hadn't spoken in a number of years. Basically says he's sharing the grief with the public. I'm sure he doesn't want anything to happen to his family as a result. Seems to also be defensive about his brother (suspects' father) saying the father had little influence on them - busy putting food on the table while working by fixing cars.

Asks the boy to turn himself in and ask for forgiveness.

Well, he's doing a good job basically saying.. it ain't me or my family OR Chechnya.. just my wackjob brother and my loser nephews.. He can't really provide any useful info about what happened in the past week!

also, mod please clean up this thread.

wow it's a mob scene..

yeah

the guy is either a really good actor or really pissed at his nephews. i go with the 2nd. he is not happy

 

[rh71]

uncle also mentioned he didn't see pics of the suspects until reporters contacted him this morning and his wife loaded up AOL.

 

[dbk]

Yeah, he sounds very passionate on what he and his family have gained by being in the US - and that he loves America.. thus seeing his nephews guilty of these atrocities is just firing him up!

 

[halik]

He just seems devastated and angry, at least from the tv interview. I certainly got the impression his view is "we go through all this to make it to the U.S. for better life and they do that?"

They said the kid they are chasing now who is 19 is a second year medical school student...how is that possible? Did they mean the other guy?

kids graduate HS at 17 - they also said possibly pre-med.

 

[rcpratt]

I'm sure it's pre-med. Also, the media has no idea what they're saying.

I believe there's a program in BU that allows you to move straight to medical school after your second year. So he is probably a fresh medical student in his 2nd year of college.

 

[techs]

I'm sure it's pre-med. Also, the media has no idea what they're saying.

It's the "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" mentality.
If they report every possible rumor maybe one will be true and they can say they had it first.

 

[Tweak155]

Dang such a shame. I can't believe what life would have to be like to "need" to do something like this in someone's mind. Only 19. I was a stupid kid too but thankfully not that stupid.
