Watching CNN. One of the reporters when takling about whether they would be part of a larger organization or it was just them two.

Talked about how they stuck around, more like an arsonist, how they robbed a 7/11 (no large financial backing), etc. That was all fine and well. Then he talked about how they don't have the expertise to be a sociopath, which makes ZERO sense. Must have been a misspoken thought; you don't need training to have a psychological disorder...

Edit: listening to the scanner now.

Terror is only random in our eyes. The people doing it have their excuses. They have their background, psychological make up, etc. There are things to be learned about people who do this kind of thing.

As I said earlier, if this was orchestrated as part of a sleeper cell attack -- which we don't really know at this point, or at least didn't before zeroing in on the suspects -- then it is definitely connected to a much wider organization.

I used to live literally 2 miles from where this is all going down. Drove through Watertown many times to get to work (when I felt like taking the back roads). Really, really surreal.

Thanks for the link.

According to corporate policy, however, I am out of luck. I guess were not allowed to listen to music at work. Joke's on them, because I'm on here half the day. Lol.

Fake account. Someone is trolling. You tell me he had time to create a Twitter account in the last hour?

Not always. But really, why does it matter? The events have already occurred.

I would hope that no one would impersonate this person and try to make things more difficult/confusing for law enforcement during this time.

It matters for the people working to protect us from future attacks. It's basic profiling. If you understand the kind of situations that people come from that tend to become "bombers" and the psychological make up, it makes it easier to find those kind of people and hopefully prevent situations in the future.

I understand what you are saying. The "why" won't ever really matter to make anything that happened more digestible. But it does matter for the future.

Did the scanner just go dead for anyone else? If so, does that mean they are going to move in soon?

And the CNN aired him giving the street address.

What a bunch of morons. Cut the interview if it's live when he starts doing that!

Not only does it compromise the investigation, it compromises people's safety.

Something needs to be done about the US Median and their incompetence / idiocy.
