Live video coverage on the gunfight involving explosives in Watertown, Massachusetts

[kcchiefs6465]

Literally just happened

I'm not sure it was live. I think she said it earlier and they were replaying it. They cut from it a few times and came back. That is when she basically blamed the FBI or a related agency. Said she wished the reporters were lawyers like her so that when they spoke they spoke what they meant. She told them not to misrepresent her words and to show her evidence of their guilt.

CNN didn't cut from what she said because of what she was saying. They actually reshowed it and had the caption at the bottom say 'Aunt thinks they were set up.'

They wanted her to speculate but she wasn't having it. I'd probably be as annoyed with the reporters as her.

They cut the aunt because she was basically calling the reporters stupid, and saying if they were lawyers like her, they would think before they speak...

The 2nd guy is a deadman.. just like Dorner.

He might as well save us the tax dollars and just get shot up.

They cut from her a few times and Anderson Cooper (or one of them) gave their commentary and then they would switch back to it. I don't know if it was live. She was getting annoyed with reporters I'd say. She wants to see the evidence and pretty much implied the FBI or a related agency did it.

These brothers most likely did it. The question that needs to be asked is? (1) Who helped them? (2) Why did security and undercover authorities at the event "stand down" or were they just plain incompetent??? I'm led to believe the former.

Are you in the area? From some of the videos it looks pretty much like martial law. Bearcats and troops. (they look like troops at least, maybe they are police) It's a shame that a couple of people can turn entire cities into literal police states.

Everyone out there knows what the guy looks like and would call if they saw him. I really just don't see the point of what they are doing. (locking down the city)

According to a member of a security committee being interviewed on the BBC, the younger brother was calling for Islam to support the rebels in Syria...The U.S. is supporting them...why attack the U.S.?

They are pretty damn incompetent. Letting the POTUS speak in a hot zone like this is dropping the ball. They obviously thought they skipped town, opps.

Speculating - less traffic = less cards to search, less for the suspect to hikack, less people to be held hostage, less people who could be injuried, less people to see as suspects.

The citizenry should be armed. If the kid tries to hijack a car, I would expect (in a non-police state nanny society) that he would be shot. I suppose malls and businesses (where people congregate) are doing the right thing by remaining closed with the speculation that he has more bombs. He is probably already holed up in someone's house. That two people can bring about APCs and thousands of 'troops' (from what I've heard) is troublesome.

How much liberty are you willing to sacrifice for safety? Truth be told, if I was in the area, I would be more worried about a trigger happy cop shooting me than being blown up. (though I suppose both would be possibilities) And if the suspect tried to carjack my vehicle, it probably would not end well for him. Whether I gave him the vehicle and the police caught up with him, or had a chance to take a shot at him.

I think he already has hostages. He's probably already holed up in someone's house, possibly booby trapping it. I am sure those homeowners wished they would have had a gun now. That's speculation but I don't see how he wouldn't have been caught unless he broke into someone's house. People in the area should call their loved ones. You never know. That would be a much easier way to find out possible places he is at than having a cop on every corner and APCs rolling around. That's my issue with it. People seem all the willing to turn to a literal police state. All it took was a tragedy. (and I'm sure some entities are taking note)

i thought our POTUS was backing the rebels in Syria to the 95 percentile and daily hoping the sitting tinhorn tyrant would flee the country

Damnit. I had the tv muted. I would have liked to have heard that one.
