Boston Bombing Suspect Identified, Authorities Believe

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears the hunt for the so far unidentified Boston nomber may be coming to an end. From Bloomberg:

  • OFFICIALS BELIEVE BOMBING SUSPECT IDENTIFIED, CNN SAYS
  • ONE SUSPECT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IN VIDEO, CNN'S KING SAYS
  • AUTHORITIES HAVE IMAGE OF SUSPECT W/BAG AT 2ND BOMB SITE:GLOBE
  • IDENTIFICATION COMING FROM STORE SECURITY CAMERA, CNN SAYS
  • Authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene  - Globe.com

And the kicker:

  • Suspect is a "dark-skinned male" according to CNN. Apparently that is the proper nomenclature.

From Boston Globe:

An official briefed on the Boston Marathon bombing investigation said today that authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene on Boylston Street, outside of the Forum restaurant.

 

Investigators are “very close” in the investigation, said the official, who declined to be named.

 

That official said authorities may publicize their finding as early as this afternoon.

 

The same official also said a surveillance camera at Lord & Taylor, located directly across the street, has provided clear video of the area, though it was unclear whether the image of the suspect was taken from that camera.

 

Authorities planned to brief the media on the progress of the investigation at 5 p.m. today.

 

Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said shortly before noon after leaving FBI headquarters that investigators were “working hard and there’s a lot going on,” but he had no comment on whether progress had been made in the case. No arrests were reported this morning.

 

Authorities had appealed to the public for video and photographs of the area near the bombing scene at the finish line of the marathon, noting that many people among the crowd were likely to have taken photos of the conclusion of the world-renowned event.

 

Two bombs exploded within seconds of each other at 2:50 p.m. Monday near the Boylston Street finish line, killing three people and injuring 176, many of whom suffered major trauma from flying shrapnel, including nails and ball bearings that authorities have said were stuffed into the explosive devices by their makers.

Does the dark skinned male bomber have a teleprompter?

If the guy is dark skinned - my guess is they are giving him the Michael Jackson treatment to make him lighter skinned.

Now we know why Obama didn't call it terrorism in his first speech. But he was able to mention "patriots day". Obama and his propaganda machine wanted a few days of convincing the people that right wingers do this type of stuff. That if you question government or taxation, you are likely a terrorist. I bet Obama knew who the culprit was during his first briefing. They stalled to get as much political stabs at the right as they could....

Probably not a "black" person... historically blacks aren't bombers, certainly not serial bombers.  Law enforcement will be profiling crackers and middle-easteners.  It'll be a male between 25-55, social missfit, self proclaimed intellectual.  I'm thinking totally home-grown, not a foreign terr'ist... it's another Ted Kascinsky type.

I'm guessing 28 years old. From near the Middle East/NE African region. Perhaps Sudan, Nigeria, Saudi. Or, could be from Indonesia, Burma. Probably born there and his parents came here when he was a young teen. He wanted to be an athlete in school but wasn't good enough. But his core reason for the terrorism was respect from others with his religion. He wanted to be a hero for Islam.

No need for them to worry.  If he is a black, born-in-America male, that will help ignite the race war so Obummer can declare martial law.

If he is an Al Queda groupie, Obummer can introduce legislation chipping us all, (so as to not offend the muslims), as a means to provide for our safety.  Then we can all be tracked in real-time by that dandy little facility out in Utah.  Nobody will be able to fart sideways in any location without the perpetrator being immediately known.
