could have been completely innocent, i have no idea.

3) Why did they open fire on the boat with over 150 rounds of ammunition when the kid had no weapons left to fight with and never even indicated that he was threatening them (he did nothing when they told him to come out), and then--only after the media rushed to the scene--did they stop firing and suddenly want to "take him alive"? You unloaded an entire arsenal into the boat and THEN you decide you want to try to take him alive? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

I neve saw it confirmed either way on whether he had a weapon or not, so I'm not sure why you were so certain about that, but the more I read, the more it appears that he did have a gun.


Oh, and also, the public safety exception was used, and faded as it is supposed to, and now he has supposedly been charged.


So, no confirmation yet, but it seems to be 2 of your questions answered.

this Raed Alsulami has some "likes" so i translated them too

مساعدة الاخرين = Help Others
ناشط في حقوق الانسان = Human Rights Activist
مساعدة الفقراء و المرضى و المحتاجين = Helping the poor and the sick and needy

so either he likes all those as a alibi or he legitimately feels that way lol

i have been seeing it reported that they were shooting rubber bullets at him in the boat.

Interesting.

Either way, it still satisfies some of the questions and shows that just because there is a lack of facts, there's no need to jump to crazy conclusions.

glenn becks big news was basically what we've been talking about.

just that this saudi kid had bad ties to terrorism and had been flagged on a terror watch list. that they started a case file that declared him a terrorist and now its gone (or something like that). now the gov't is saying it wasn't that saudi, it was a different saudi or something like that. talked about the pres meeting with the saudi and how the gov't ties with Saudi Arabia are bad... .blah blah blah

glen beck is a schmuck... but i find the saudi tie to be interesting.

So he acted like he had secret information that the NDL even knew about?

[DRiccio21]

he pointed out different files and classifications that they put on this kid immediately after he was detained.

supposedly his file was classified as the biggest form of terrorist. his student visa was supposed to be in Findley Ohio and not Boston. who knows

I wonder how he would know that.

[DRiccio21]

SUSPECT IN BOSTON MARATHON ATTACK CHARGED WITH USING
A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION

WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that Dzhokhar A.
Tsarnaev, 19, a U.S. citizen and resident of Cambridge, Mass., has been charged with using a
weapon of mass destruction against persons and property at the Boston Marathon on April 15,
2013, resulting in the death of three people and injuries to more than 200 people.

In a criminal complaint unsealed today in U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts, Tsarnaev is specifically charged with one count of using and conspiring to use
a weapon of mass destruction (namely, an improvised explosive device or IED) against persons
and property within the United States resulting in death, and one count of malicious destruction
of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death. The statutory charges authorize
a penalty, upon conviction, of death or imprisonment for life or any term of years. Tsarnaev had
his initial court appearance today from his hospital room.

[LetsGoPeay]

Well, it was set off in Massachusetts so to get very technical, it was a weapon of Mass. destruction.

The last few posts we've seen AIM, MIT, and WMD.

I don't know, none of those seem obscure to me.
