My thought is that he will talk. If he was willing to give up like that he probably wasn't not the alpha in the group. He was afraid to die.
I guess he'll have to type his statement (or refuse to) instead, before he's sentenced to death or a life long term in prison.
The sensationalism of this thing has gotten way out of hand. CNN talking ad nauseam about the boat the guy was in, and the thermal images. Non stop.. all day long. Over and over and over. You'd think man landed on Mars or something.
And yet, you watched enough of it to know this...
I mean, if you don't like what you're seeing..switch the channel or turn off the TV?
The suspects tossed grenades. Tamerlan Tsarnaev got within 10 feet of officers involved in the shootout before he ran out of ammunition and was tackled. Police put him down and began to handcuff him when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev drove the stolen car at them.
"They dove out of the way at the last second and he ran over his brother, dragged him down the street and then fled," Deveau said.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died. Though bleeding, his younger brother fled the car and eluded the officers. Police locked down the region and searched house to house in Watertown.
Wow... sounds like Suspect #2 ROADKILLED his own brother!

I feel much more sorry for the victims. People who lost friends and family, and people who lost limbs and will be impacted for the rest of their life.
It's not really sympathy. It's more like pity. Those were two intelligent, young people, who lived in a good area with the opportunity for a good life and their minds degenerated enough that they killed a bunch of people. It's sad. Man, when everyone becomes hungry for revenge and can't have the tiniest amount of pity we will be in trouble.
Yes, they were/are shitty, horrible people, and I hope the younger one gets the death sentence and am glad the other is dead, but it doesn't mean one can't have any sort of pity/sympathy/whatever for another person, no matter how awful they are.
I dunno if that makes sense.

19 year olds have no idea what the fuck they're doing, this kid had problems - but think back when you were 19. You were still a child, in college or not - thinking you know what life is. The 26 year old was his father figure, and an idiotic one at that.

It does. The most horrible acts can be committed by tragic figures. It does not excuse the crime but it does recognize the situation in a larger context.
when I was 19 I was in the army. I was trained in law enforcement (mostly riot control), firearms, explosives, first aid etc. etc., I had more responsibilities than most adults will ever have and if I fucked up, people would die... when you're 19 you're only a kid if you act like one, I was grown ass man when I was 19 and I shouldered the responsibility perfectly fine.
once upon a time a 19 year old was basically supposed to be going through a midlife crisis (except they hadn't been invented yet, people were too busy surviving).
In addition to being almost universally wrong, the theories developed via social media complicated the official investigation, according to law enforcement officials. Those officials said Saturday that the decision on Thursday to release photos of the two men in baseball caps was meant in part to limit the damage being done to people who were wrongly being targeted as suspects in the news media and on the Internet.
I revise my sentence to say most 19 year olds. There are exceptions to every rule. Most people are not in the army. Most 19 year olds have no idea what life is about, and to me that is a child.
More arrests to come, two were allegedly part of 12-person sleeper cell: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-...unting-12-strong-1844844#.UXM54Yqm6hA.twitter
Something is still not right here. A 12-person cell should have been able to kill more people. 4 dead and possibly dozens severely injured (just a guess) is a relatively small attack. Billy Bob in his basement could have done "better" than that.
Either I misunderstand their goals (I'm assuming to kill the most people), they failed, or this was part of a larger strategy possibly to disrupt law enforcement resources. I had been absolutely sure this was a lone wolf in the beginning since the attack was relatively simple/minor
So far I haven't read that anyplace else.
Lets not forget its the freaking Mirror. Its a trash rag.
This story says the complete opposite, I'll believe the Boston Glove over the Mirror any day.
