Whatever is posted on this subject ATS, some sensitivity should be shown to the tragedy, people died here folks, regardless of what, who when and why, innocent people and there is no justification.
However there are massive holes in the story which I hope do get plugged and on a positive note, the quick turn around of these events will at least bring closure to the families involved which has to count for something.
But...this is worth looking into for those that are capable and willing:
1. The FBI were caught a while ago in a sting operation that they instigated from start to finish trying to entrap various people in Canada to the point where one of the guys actually complained to the authorities that he was being setup by agents.
2. The drills, everyone went on about the drills - perfectly normal thing to do in any large event and something I would expect by the local forces however what is alarming is how on the speakers 5 minutes before the bombs went off people were being repeatedly told "It's a drill, don't be alarmed" or something to that effect.
3. The props: the people in and around the event that were supposedly taking part in the drill and then some how ended up being the victim. Take the chap in the wheelchair, an Vet who was injured in the line of duty being wheeled away and no one corrected the public on the actuality of the photo (i.e. that he was just a prop but quite rightly was being wheeled away from what had become a real scenario).
4. The exact specific event occurred as the drill being carried out, the exact...think about that for those that are of a mathematical and statistical mind - here science will be bent out of shape to fit the will of the story.
5. Two popular and maybe slightly troubled guys who suddenly turn into explosive experts and are able to run rings around the police and the more advanced tactical forces.
6. Even more disturbing - if the older sibling was wearing some kind of mobile IED device and/or suicide device why the **** did the police go in gung-ho and run him over?! Not being funny but if someone said he was armed like that I would stay well away to ensure I don't make go bat-# crazy and set it off and also to not get blown to bits myself!
7. The FBI had these guys under surveillance for ages but did nothing? And those tweets, who doesn't say stuff like that, hell if they scan ATS they will find ripe material on sides of any fence black or white!
Here is what I think happened...
They were being monitored for ages, either part of some entrapment operation and/or just good patsies for a future operation.
One or both are approached under the guise of making good money if they get involved in some drill and/or movie as props.
They are told the whole event start to finish so they go in and fulfill their roles believing they will get paid well after the job, oblivious to the fact that the so called props explosives were real.
They go off, killing and injuring so many...the two would be culprits see the mayhem and realize something is wrong and probably quite quickly (too quickly for the agencies involved) workout they are being setup so leg it. They also find out the were equipped with real items and/or they happened to have stock of the weapons because they really did have extreme views which the FBI took advantage of (as they have a track record of doing).
This is just an idea...takes nothing away from the tragedy and the loss that occurred and boggles the mind that there are people out these (not these two though) who have some very twisted views of the world and are capable of writing off people just to push a cause through.
The real drama is how the media raped the story non-stop, slapped into peoples faces, stories filled with racist xenophobic overtones.
The real tragedy folks is how so many bills have been fast tracked through now, taking away any liberties Americans have or had and more tragic the systematic witch hunt of two innocent people, namely the guy Sunil (who is not even remotely a Muslim) who was a victim of false reporting and a nationwide/internet wide crowd sourced open court where he was guilty from the word go.
Add all the threats he received its not surprise and shock he is missing now for two days, either dead or on the run for nothing.
And then Salah, the 17 year old boy whose life is ruined now by the same witch hunt, made worse by the fact that an entity like the New York Times not even remotely apologizing or accepting they were the ones who instigated the whole sordid affair (the witch hunt and vilification of these individuals).
This is the real America, deeply racist, xenophobic, paranoid, schizophrenic, psychotic and completely deluded.
The sad thing, the rest of the world is becoming just like that.

They say everywhere that that one guy was in some kind of a shootout, but they never say with who. Did he have a firefight with the police? And how did that second guy die?

OH please! You want the 19 year old to have his day in court?
Then tell him to stop shooting at police and to stop throwing explosives in the streets.
(all caught on camera and all happened with hundreds of witness')
Then he might make it alive to a court room.
Otherwise .. if he keeps shooting at cops and throwing explosives ...
the cops have every right to protect themselves and the public.

This thread ranks up there as one of the dumbest ever.
never see a bourne movie I take it?
or any of the ten thousand movies where that is exactly what happens?
super lol
or read the papers where the FBI gets caught setting innocent people up to be bombers?

Thanks Danbones for making these points and comments.. It is absolutely unbelievable what some people are posting here on these threads.. everyone is already totally convinced that they are actually the culprits..
I'm finding many of the comments made by ats members to be really simplistic and unsophiscated.. "I'll believe it if you tell me it's so.." type of attitude.. astounding! I stopped following the whole Boston story on Tues/Wed. earlier this week because I feel really unhealthy following these news events too closely and too frequently, so when I returned to ATS today, Fri/Sat, seeing all of these posts and bizarre complacent attitudes is totally shocking.
People should watch some espionage films to see or better understand the workings and makings of these kinds of events or set-ups.Don't know how to else put it. In the meantime, the only other thing that I wanted to add, which might make things a little more interesting, is that I found a newslink where in it states that the younger brother, was actually a MEDICAL STUDENT. Is that true? And how about interviewing some of his peers at his Medical School. I no longer remember where that link was, but somewhere in the e-press that bit of information was gathered. I found it striking to be quite honest.edit on 20-4-2013 by tony9802 because: typo
