The more we hear from the people who were closest to the younger brother, the more his evil actions appear to have happened suddenly and completely unexpectedly. Is this a monster or a young man who was radically influenced by his older brother to do something that he never really wanted to do? Not giving the kid a pass at all, but it's very hard to believe that somebody can turn evil just like that. The older brother, on the other hand, definitely appears to have been inherently wicked.

The alleged Boston Marathon bomber is awake and responding to questions in his hospital bed.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is responding sporadically in writing to questions from investigators regarding other cell members and other unexploded bombs, law enforcement sources told ABC News.


The 19-year-old shoved his pistol in his own mouth and pulled the trigger as SWAT officers and federal agents closed in on the boat where he was hiding on Friday night. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply tore through his neck.

Authorities initially said they couldn't question him because of the throat wound. CNN reports earlier today that Tsarnaev was 'intubated and sedated' at a Boston hospital.

gut;1431212 wrote:It's not going to change the fact he led a "secret life". Even after the bombing he was tweeting sympathies. This is not an outspoken true believer. Right or wrong, I'm leaning toward agreeing with people that are saying this is just some nutjob that found inspiration in seeking out extremist justifications for his meltdown.
