Boston Suburb, Transit Under Lockdown Following Shootout With One Bombing Suspect, Manhunt For Another, Both From Chechnya

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a series of bizarre if morbid events, things in Boston have gone from bad to surreal. According to Reuters, police killed one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing during a shootout and were engaged in a house-to-house search for the other on Friday in the Boston suburb of Watertown. The suspects, incidentally, as AP reports, are reportedly brothers and originally from the separatist Russian region of Chechnya, who lived in the US for at least 1 year and were Cambridge residents at the time of the incident.

The night started off in a just as dramatic fashion, with the violence beginning around 10:30 p.m., with the robbery of a 7-11 in nearby Cambridge, authorities said. The two men then fatally shot an MIT campus police officer and carjacked a Mercedes sport-utility vehicle at gunpoint, keeping the vehicle's owner hostage for about a half-hour, police said. The owner was released at a gas station in Cambridge, authorities said. He wasn't injured.

Police pursued that car to Watertown, where explosives were thrown from the car at police and gunfire was exchanged, the statement said.

"During the exchange of the gunfire, we believe that one of the suspects was struck and ultimately taken into custody. A second suspect was able to flee from that car and there is an active search going on at this point in time," Colonel Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, told a news conference.

The WSJ adds that a Boston Marathon bombing suspect was killed in a confrontation with police and a manhunt was on for the second suspect—both of whom were believed to be involved in the fatal shooting of an MIT campus police officer during a chaotic series of events Thursday night.

Authorities said the bombing suspect who had been shown wearing a black baseball cap in photographs released Thursday was killed when confronted by police in Watertown, Mass. The second suspect, a light-skinned man with long curly hair and wearing a hoodie who police said was the bombing suspect identified wearing a white hat, was still at large Friday morning. Neither man was identified. Police warned residents that the at-large suspect was armed and dangerous.

An interactive map of the events from the WSJ:

Fast forward to this morning, when authorities warned people in Watertown not to leave their homes and not to answer the door after a night in which a university police officer was killed, a transit police officer was wounded, and the suspects carjacked a vehicle, leading police on a chase.

Police were searching for the man known as Suspect 2 who was photographed wearing a white hat just before the explosions that killed three people and wounded 176. The blasts triggered security scares across the United States and evoked memories of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

The AP reports that the name of the surviving suspect is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.

The bombing suspects attacked police with explosives and gunfire before the man known as Suspect 1 was shot, apprehended, and taken to a hospital, where he died, officials said.

Officials shut down area transit systems while the manhunt was under way.

"We believe this to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis of the bombing suspect still at large. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."

The two unidentified men were wanted for Monday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, when two blasts ripped through the crowd near the finish line.

The massive police operation was under way in Watertown after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday released pictures and video of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The FBI had enlisted the public's help in identifying two men wearing backpacks and baseball caps in the crowd minutes before bombs exploded near the finish line.

A photo of the surviving suspect Tsarnaev:

For those confused by the plotline here is the WSJ's summary:

We have just gotten news that both Harvard and MIT have canceled classes for Friday, and that all Boston transit has been suspended in the manhunt:

Boston police said on Friday that all transit service by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority "has been suspended until further notice" as a manhunt for a suspect in the bombing of the Boston Marathon was ongoing in a city suburb.

 

Vehicle traffic was also suspended in and out of Watertown, Boston police said.

What you have to understand that once you the step to the "crazy" side, you see the bogeyman everywhere. People have so much disdain towards authority, government etc.. that anything they do, say is taken a conspiracy.

Sometimes they are right, mostly wrong. I still dont really know what was the real reason for Iraq war, but that was a conspiracy because they knew there were no WMDs.

Watching the video of the shootout. Gun grabbers need to watch it to see why we need semi auto, regular capacity rifles.

None of the cops have a rifle, and one Is repeatedly asking for one. This is a real shoot out, not LAPD shooting up women in trucks.

That truck should have been lit up, from the perspective of actually being in the fight, preserving evidence being secondary when the angry metal bees are buzzing around your head.

The one guy got away because the cops could not quickly establish fire superiority.

Jeff Sachs: The Pathological Environment on Wall Street (and in Washington, London, and Berlin)
"But there is a sort of 'Ok guys, you're mad, but how are you going to stop me' mentality at the top."
Robert Johnson, Audacious Oligarchy
.
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2013/04/jeff-sachs-pathological...
.
"...Thank you to Janet Tavakoli for this:

"I believe we have a crisis of values that is extremely deep, because the regulations and the legal structured need reform. But I meet a lot of these people on Wall Street on a regular basis right now. I'm going to put it very bluntly. I regard the moral environment as pathological. And I'm talking about the human interactions that I have. I've not seen anything like this, not felt it so palpably.

These people are out to make billions of dollars and nothing should stop them from that. They have no responsibility to pay taxes, they have no responsibility to their clients, they have no responsibility to people... counterparties in transactions. They are tough, greedy, aggressive, and feel absolutely out of control, in a quite literal sense. And they have gamed the system to a remarkable extent and they have a docile president, a docile White House and a docile regulatory system that absolutely can't find its voice. It's terrified of these companies.

If you look at the campaign contributions, which I happened to do yesterday for another purpose, the financial markets are the number one campaign contributors in the U.S. system now. We have a corrupt politics to the core, I'm afraid to say... both parties are up to their necks in this.

... But what it's led to is this sense of impunity that is really stunning and you feel it on the individual level right now. And it's very very unhealthy, I have waited for four years... five years now to see one figure on Wall Street speak in a moral language. And I've have not seen it once. And that is shocking to me. And if they won't, I've waited for a judge, for our president, for somebody, and it hasn't happened. And by the way it's not gonna happen any time soon, it seems." j.s / jca

+1 ""...crisis of values that is extremely deep" & "regulations and the legal structures need reform" - and before you ask: megabank's current non-regulation matters the whole planet

One strong hint in this is how HR specialists for megabank recruiting in London are screening since years for... sociopaths/psychopaths. Because they have "what it takes" for bank management

though I would not wonder at all if British and American HR psychologists would bitterly fight on this, then I suspect it's more of a cultural thing that transplanted itself from NY's Wall Street to London's City after the Big Bang, best seen in "we are doing God's work" and "and that's the reason I make more money than you"

I find it very interesting that Jeffrey "Shock Doctrine" Sachs is coming out with these words, given his background, history & who/what he works for/with now.

even his wiki page should send some spidey senses tingling. . . he was instrumental in the dissolving of the "Soviet Union" - as well as South American states in the late '80s/early 90's - well documented in Naomi Klien's book. . .

he's a player, from his Chicago Boys upbringing/schooling, to his globalist storybooks & writings for the Guardian UK. . . his words can only be staged.

I agree, CA. His background is vey suss. However, what he said has not been said by anyone outside of ZH and other alternative media - yet we all know it to be true.

Either he is - like AJ, Keiser, et al - attempting to hasten the collapse of the syetem for the NWO, or he has "found religion". I believe the former, but also hope that some in the mainsleaze media will take up the baton and run with it.

All in all, I think it is too late, anyway (which could also be a reason that he has said it now).

Who knows?

These don't look like Arabs.
So maybe this is homegrown. I wonder if it has anything to do with the police killing dozens exactly 20 years ago in Waco, not far from there.
These young people look the right age to possibly be children of some of those killed.

The chechnyans got really wound up over Waco back then, and they put mcveigh on their flag, their postage stamps, and in the national anthem. It's why they murdered 100's of Russian school children. Also, all chechnyans underwent valmorification to look whiter, so as to blend in better for terror acts against American and Russian targets. Or on the other hand maybe Islam has something to do with this, one more time.

"There is no God but Allah", in Arabic: "Lailaha illAllah"

 

Allah means The God, literally. Al (The) Lah (God) -> Al-Lah -> Allah

if you traduce a Christian text in Arabic you use the word Allah for the Christian God, then there is no other word for God, in Arabic

 

and so "Lailaha illAllah" could be traduced with "I'm a Monotheist", or "I believe there is only One God", which would be appropriate to Christians and Jews, too

I live right around the corner from MIT here.  Been up all night, listening to gunfire, cop cars everywhere, helicopters orbiting all around and what sounded like gernades going off in the distance at one point.   Things turned surreal for sure.   Listening to the police scanner updates was like listening to a 6 hour Bourne movie.

It was real.   The MIT cop may have in fact ID'd them, as he went to confront them.  We may never know.

Oh, and it's still going on.............

This is the way the Feds operated during the Bonnie and Clyde and Dillinger years.  No one gets taken alive.  Old school.  I suppose when GW stated  "Wanted Dead or Alive" for bin laden that was the new game plan.  If the dead are guilty, so be it, especially if they have no story to tell or value.   However, if possible it would be nice to bring in some of these folks alive and actually get some answers, or plot consipirators if any.  We are meeting out justice, Texas style, which being a Texan ok, but I thought the "progressives" believed in courts and trials and such.   I can see this way though because we are too broke to spend money on trials and shelter for the alleged suspects.  I used "alleged" because that is the way we have been programmed during my lifetime but now I suppose it is an outdated and unnecessary term.

(I'm being sarcastic woven with a little bit of truth)
