Explosion in Boston?

[therealUT]

older brother had been here for many years and boxed with a boxing club

Younger brother went to high school here for all four years. So, at least four years.

 

[Gramps]

Their uncle just said on live television they'd been here 7 or 8 years.

I also heard that on CNN interview.

And I am sure seemed as a normal peacefull Muslim to his friends and neighbours!

You've become a caricature of yourself.

His friends and neighbors probably thought of him as peacefully as Eric Rudolph's friends and neighbors thought of him.

 

[Gramps]

TRUT, Is this near the area you live ?

Not now.

Yep! Uncle gave the old go to line of "They were good kids!". The reporter asked what could have drove them to this and the uncle repeatably said "I don't know". We all know the answer is Islam; some might have a hard time coming to terms with the hard truths and realities of life.

I live in Allston/Brighton which buts right up against the Charles' southern bank. Watertown is right on the northern bank. From my place to where this is taking place, probably 1-1.5 miles as the crow flies.

Anyone heard that these grew up in Kyrgyzstan as well?

Way, way, waaaaaay oversimplified.

Did Christianity drive Eric Rudolph?

 

[CABVOL]

It's extremism...regardless of the religion...

Police source: 2 Russian nationals pulled over in Niagara Falls; 4 suspicious backpacks in the car, robot & bomb techs on scene.

Eric Rudolph's friends were just as bat**** crazy as him..so you are right.

I imagine you've been on edge this morning.

What the Uncle said

No its not. It is pretty simple. Attempting to over complicate an issue is just another way of attempted avoidance.

I also heard that on CNN interview.

I thought that interview was really inappropriate; almost seemed like a violation of journalistic ethics. The man ended up giving out the address of one of their other uncles (or maybe even father). He willingly said it on air, but he seemed so distraught and out of it that I don't think he knew what he was doing at the moment. They should have just cut away at that point.

the ties to Chechnya make it a little different don't you think?

 

[golfballs]

They keep pushing the fact they were nice, normal kids...

...obviously not.

hubs did a roof for one of ERR's neighbors about 6 weeks ago. Was told everyone knew where he was hiding but were threatened with death if they ever told his whereabouts. Very tight knit backwoods community. Everyone was afraid of Rudolph

 

[therealUT]

Not too on edge. It would have surprised the hell out of me if he had gotten across the Charles from Watertown: only a couple of bridges and those are easy to lockdown.

Went through my regular morning routine: coffee and cigarette on the stoop. Since then, I've just been watching the live feed online.

Islamic....

No, it is not that simple. Attempting to oversimplify this is just another attempt to avoid thinking.
