Wait...they didn't rob the convenience store?

Exactly what I was going to say, almost all the news reported a silver Mercedes. I'm fairly sure a police SUV would have been the first thing reported.
A bit like the fact that they originally were at the 7/11 to rob it, then that was changed to them simply being spotted there.

Exactly right. I would take all information with a grain of salt, since so much information was false. Eventually we will get the real story. Just today the feds said they will try him in the civilian justice system. He will not be termed an enemy combatant. This leaves the trial open to a jury if the charged so wants it, which all the information will be presented to them, and us.

Neither of these guys can back-up their version of events since neither can speak. The survivor won't get a fair trial and the outcome will be used to serve as a deterrent to other would be terrorists. I think these two guys did plan the Boston bombings, but rather than shutting them down they were indirectly encouraged by......someone.

Except he now can't speak and is probably drugged up to his eyeballs with who knows what, I even recall them saying that he may now have brain damage.

Public safety trumps the fourth amendment? That is news to me, I didn't realize they put an asterisk beside:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
So hypothetically based on what you say about "trumping" the fourth amendment, when there is a shooting murder in Los Angeles for example and they know the suspected shooter must be in the immediate vicinity since the shooting just took place within minutes(lets say), police have the right to go door to door intimidating law abiding citizens to open their doors for their homes to be searched, because, it is for public safety?
No, nothing "trumps" the fourth amendment. Law enforcement have sworn to uphold the constitution, there are no exceptions.
n exigent circumstances, or emergency situations, police can conduct warrantless searches to protect public safety. This exception to the Fourth Amendment’s probable cause requirement normally addresses situations of “hot pursuit,” in which an escaping suspect is tracked to a private home. But it might also apply to the events unfolding in Boston if further harm or injury might be supposed to occur in the time it takes to secure a warrant. A bomber believed to be armed and planning more violence would almost certainly meet such prerequisites.
Public safety: The police do not need a warrant to search if they reasonably fear for their safety or the public’s safety. For example, if the police drive by your house and see you in the garage making bombs out of explosives, they can conduct a search.
Now, as a practical matter, you should NEVER give the police consent to search your person, home, car, garage, etc. If you ever find yourself such a situation, clearly, calming and politely tell them that you will not consent.
this is ridiculous, we'll never get the entire truth.

No, they didn't rob the convenience store. They just happened to be there at the exact same time it was being robbed by someone else. While investigating the robbery the police realized that Suspect #2 had been there also.
I think this is also where the hijack victim escaped/was released???? I could be way off on that.
Yeah, why wasn't the car jacked victim executed?
To me, reading between the lines, it sounds like two guys trying to get out of dodge after they figured out they were going to be framed and murdered for the bombings.

So who is responsible when these unwarranted searches prove to useless? When they intrude on hundreds of law abiding citizens personal property and nothing comes from it?
Also, the "hot pursuit" clause is when they are on the trail of someone. They clearly didn't have any intelligence on the boy after he...ran away...that is why he was in a boat and they never had the slightest inclination.

But police chases do...
Seriously there would be a video
I'd like know what the Helicopter was doing, if there's a curfew and the choppers have a IR camera they should have been able to track him all night - and there would be a ton of footage.
If there was no helicopter they can't have been trying all that hard...
