Secondly only to turning yourself in as the dumbest thing to do when one is a patsy. Turning yourself in to the same authorities that have ensured you will get the blame for a horrific crime you didn't commit? Clearly only one fate in store.
Why didn't Oswald turn himself in? Why didn't the London "bombers" turn themselves in, deciding to run and eventually get shot by police marksman near Canary Wharf, instead of turning themselves in to the very same authorities, once news of their "drill" explosions reached them?edit on 22/4/13 by Morg234 because: (no reason given)

1. If the brothers were innocent, why didn't they do what others identified in images by guys on 4chan and hand themselves in the moment their images were seen on TV? An innocent person would have seen that and immediately attended the local police station ready to clear their name. So, please explain that to me. If you believe the brothers were duped into it in some way, this still applies, why didn't they surrender and why did they seemingly then go on the run armed with guns and bombs?
2. The images of the two Craft International guys (if that's indeed who they are) have been taken out of context and a fictional time line added. People are claiming that one of them is seen after the blasts without his bag. In fact, the image of the two in the street was taken immediately after the explosions, and both are seen WITH their bags. Why do you accept the false narrative when the evidence is there for all to see that BOTH these men had BOTH their bags immediately after the explosion, are you not embarrassed that you didn't check this before believing that story?
3. For those who believe the common "actors" story... how do you explain medical professionals, volunteers, BPD and race officials not noticing that there were no real injuries? Do you believe that all those present were actors? Thousands of them? If not, how many actors were there? Did they replace all the police who work there every year? How do you explain all the hospital staff who would have dealt with the injuries? Do you also claim that all those nurses, doctors and surgeons were all "replaced" by actors after the event? And if so, where are the doctors and nurses who would have been on duty and why haven't they asked why they all had a couple of days off at the same time, while strangers are appearing on the TV giving news briefings in their uniform?
4. If it were a false flag and the two were "convinced" into doing it, why is the younger brother still alive? Would it not make a lot more sense - given that they have already killed three and maimed more than 150 - that one more life wouldn't be much to end? So, if these "mysterious people" can convince those brothers to take two explosive devices into the crowd, kill three, wound more than a hundred, why would they let them live? Do you not think they could have killed them in the days after, when both brothers were behaving as they normally would have? Why would such a loose end be left dangling?
5. Why did those brothers then have a shoot out with police in the street, and how did those "innocent" brothers get hold of explosives if they were innocent? I will concede that we have no factual evidence ourselves of any of that happening, but this is the narrative we have, and there would have been numerous local BPD involved in that - did they all just "imagine" the...

2. Why did the Saudi National go from being a detained suspect, to a person of interest, to a nobody, to getting approved for deportation based on terrorist activities?

3. Why did CNN go national and say that a suspect was under arrest and going to the courthouse, then turn around shortly after and claim nobody is under arrest and there is no suspect? And please don't tell me that the media just made a mistake, they were just in too big a rush to get the scoop. That is the biggest copout and always offers a get of jail free card.

4. Why did the FBI postpone and then cancel there scheduled press conference shortly after the CNN reversal? How much of that had to do with the 4chan pic dump?

5. Why did the FBI release pictures of the two suspects and ask the country for any and all information concerning their identities, when they had interviewed the older brother and had a file on him since 2011?(hint..they ain't that stupid)

6. One last question before I go, why is it that we know so much about the official story and all the twists and turns, but whenever the hard questions get asked the first thing authorities do is claim that there is an investigation pending and they can't talk about it? Same thing happened with Benghazi, Sandy Hook and it's already happened concerning Boston (Napolitano refusing to answer a congressman's question about the Saudi National deportation).

Lets be honest here... Even if it's not a "false flag" like others are claiming, it's still an event that will be used to force more government control.
This was Obama's 9/11, and it's his time to shine. You seem a little bit upset that people would consider this to be a conspiracy considering governments in the past are guilty of being liars, and killing millions.. So can you really blame people for questioning the official story, considering they've been burned over the years?
Talk about a bad analogy: Appearing on television recently, former Hillary Clinton campaign adviser and current public relations executive Mark Penn suggested that President Obama needs a moment “similar” to the tragic terrorist attack on the Oklahoma City federal building, in order to “reconnect” with voters
Now clearly he's not trying to woo voters, but his approval ratings have tanked, and he needed something to uphold his image.
My thoughts, false flag or not, it's just another nail in the coffin of freedom.. if you don't believe government will use this like they have used every other tragedy, then you're clearly hiding under a rock.

7-Eleven robbery not related to Boston bombing suspects
And who can provide evidence that either of them were not involved, or that there were actors playing the part of injured, or that no one died, or that the big bad Illuminati are responsible, or that the CIA did it take all your guns, or that...
There is MORE EVIDENCE that they DID actually do it, than any evidence suggesting ANY OTHER alternative scenario people on ATS like to imagine. That is what this thread is about.
There are a lot of members here creating massively detailed and involved "theories" based on complete conjecture, rumour, belief, or the completely fictional ideas of others.
There is evidence placing these two young men at the scene, witnesses who identify one or both as being responsible, and witnesses stating that they had a gun fight and explosives were used while chasing them. And on the opposing side of it, there are a lot of people using misidentified photos, incorrect time lines, false information and complete fantasy to come up with a different explanation.
There is a lot of investigation to go on and a lot more information will come out, but logic and reason should tell people to go with the most likely and plausible scenario, the one that actually has some credibility and some evidence, rather than to create a completely fictional story based on fantasy.

5. The description of the car hijacked by the brothers, a Mercedes E350 SUV, matches the description of their car left at a service station in Cambridge for two weeks prior to the bombing. A mechanic in Cambridge said Dzhokhar, Tamerlan's brother, picked up his "black Mercedes SUV" on Tuesday, the day after the marathon. The two cars may be one and the same; that blows up the whole official ''carjacking'' narrative.
Gilberto Junior, a Cambridge mechanic who owns Junior’s Auto Body, said Tsarnaev had dropped off a white Mercedes to have a bumper and body panel repaired. Junior had planned to start the job on Wednesday, but the suspect came into the shop on Tuesday.

That's debatable, and remains to be seen. Lets also not forget that the American people have the power to lobby their elected, and that's is seemingly rarely done. If this is of real concern, why isn't anyone protesting in the streets about it?
I can accept that things like this could be used to persuade the public to do something, but there needs to be evidence of that, not just the a knee-jerk belief by suspicious and paranoid people.
Those responsible for making the accusation are also responsible for proving it.
Well, lets take the "Lock down" aka Martial Law incident into account. The fact that they allowed a terrorist to run around the city, while making people stay in their homes and cower in fear, while they come in and save the day with their para-military forces, riding on the clouds of justice, to make a swift blow to the terrorist! Put on this exaggerated man-hunt, and just make people feel powerless in their presence.
I agree with your questions, they are very well thought out questions, and still a lot of details are emerging, so there still aren't exact answers to them. It's still unfolding, there is still time for a lot of inconsistencies to come out. But, my general belief is that no matter which "terrorist" committed the crime, we're still going to see new laws, and calls for more funding to bloated agencies, and add cameras in every home.
And what about the Saudi man that they swiftly deported?edit on 4/22/2013 by eXia7 because: (no reason given)

There's a strong possibility the Tsarnaev brothers were set up. In this case, is there anyone anywhere among the vast US intel apparatus investigating the FBI investigators?

Will the FBI explain a tsunami of false reports by the usual, anonymous ''US officials'' of explosions or ''unexploded bombs'' - at two Boston hotels, a court house, and at the JFK library?

The initial police scanner report mentions the suspect in singular as ''a Hispanic with a hat on''. This happened on the MIT campus, at a side street, after the officer had responded to the report of ''a disturbance''. Now the whole US law enforcement apparatus takes for granted that the MIT cop was killed by the brothers - with no investigation whatsoever.

Originally posted by Nedusa
The whole law enforcement apparatus insisted that there was a heavy exchange of gunfire with Dzokhar while he was hiding in a boat, before his arrest. That is false. He was unarmed, barely moving and the hail of bullets towards the boat came from the police.
Originally posted by Nedusa
How come legions of police and mega-weaponized SWAT teams searching a ''20 block'' crime scene perimeter in Watertown simply could not locate Dzhokhar hiding in a street less than two blocks from where he had abandoned his car?
