The affidavit and what it reveals
Some interesting disclosures in the affidavit, including the fact that the bombers may have used cell phones to detonate their deadly cargo. For example, a little while after Bomber 2’s (Dzhohkar’s) backpack is placed on the ground, and about 30 seconds before the first explosion, he puts his cell phone to his ear for eighteen seconds, and shortly afterward people are seen reacting to first bomb.
Virtually every head turns toward the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm. Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm.
Dzhohkar then walks away, leaving his backpack behind where he had placed it earlier. Approximately ten seconds later an explosion occurs in that spot.
Think about it. Ten seconds.
As for the carjacking, one of the bombers tapped on the window of the victim’s car to get him to roll down the window, at which point the bomber reached in and opened the door, climbed aboard, and pointed a gun at him. It was at that point that he identified himself as the marathon bomber, showed the victim the gun was loaded, and added “I’m serious.” This may possibly clear up the mystery as to why the victim was told who the carjackers were. They apparently wanted him to understand they were dangerous, and that therefore he should do what they say. Their focus seemed to be on getting the car, and on coercing him to get them some money from an ATM, rather than how they would ultimately dispose of him.
There were security cameras at the ATM that showed the bombers, as well as cameras at the gas station where they stopped (and where the victim escaped). They seem to have either been unaware of the ubiquity of cameras, or not to care. The same is true of the original crime; it seems they had to have known that the Boston marathon is one of the most photographed events on earth, and yet acted as though they’d never be caught (or didn’t care if they were caught) by (in Dzhohkar’s case, anyway) not disguising themselves very well, and not even attempting to escape the Boston area afterward. They either had contempt for law enforcement’s investigative capacities, or in some sense didn’t mind if they were caught.
I vote for the latter. What good is it being one of the Boston bombers if nobody knows what a badass guy you are?
In an earlier post i said i noticed that imigrants tend not to get the power of integrated society….
They are habitualized to other conditions
So they act or do things that those familiar know better
Most americans when it comes to the current despotic system act exactly out of place as these guys look to you
Ur EXPERIANCE lets u see what they dont
To convince them u have to get beyond belief to ghinking
Its comical tradjedy of the infinite goof
Your basically repeating my missive but from symptom not cause – that knowledge if integrated changes behavior
So u look at them and put out the logic
Yet u forget ur own parry of the same!!!
U were not interested and neither were they
Lack of interest leads to lack of consideration wbich leads to inaction that others who did learn can see IN OTHERSbut not themselves
Same when someone makes up an dxplanation talking to someone that knows more….
Summed up to
You cant bs a bser
Just imagine if they gave u that same answer
U would have a hard time convkncing ghem
Interesting documentary last night got wife n i in a short argument… they put up a card trick n she could not tell me how they knew which card she picked
Everytime i tried tk dxplain… shexwould azsert and fight
Took slowing down the tape and showing her that none of the secknd set matched he first…. so if she took the mental shortcut to see if hers was missing… she would be fooled… her attention was on her card…not the others… my freaky memory could recite both sets….
Until she stoppdd defendjng she could not see the trick and sociuld not change belief…. her reflex is to guard against that
Same thing here…
One the deal implication or premise is believed you incorporate it and its active in your choices wrong or right
But jntil u do
You will claim h know
Defend ur belif Nd act taht way
And those that know will see you and know
The terrorists will say gheh nnow about cameras
But knowing didnot change belief
Sk did not get incorporated into action
Now u look n u see
Just as i look and see what i cant explain in a way ghat will jostle u the way video did my wife
🙂
Didn’t care. They don’t call the “suicide” bombers for nothing. You can suicide with the bomb or after — after has the advantage of you getting to take more with you. Which they did.
Note to frother: “u have to get beyond belief to ghinking
Its comical tradjedy”
Slow the F down lest you froth right out of the frame.
dodger, just STEP AWAY FROM THE SMARTPHONE!
News today is full of stories that surviving cretin says they acted alone. Oh, and his brother made him do it.
You see he apparently had an epiphany, and is now telling the Feds all they need to know. Or maybe all they want to hear.
Just when you think the government, and their merry media band, have strained credulity to the extreme, they go a step beyond.
Anyone shocked that the FBI apparently missed the trip to the Russian Caucasus region (a hot bed of extremism) allegedly due to a misspelling on an airline manifest? Really? That’s the excuse? As I recall from my traveling days, most countries have passport control when you leave, as well as when you enter. But the good old USA leaves it to the airlines to check passports on departure. Still, we do pay folks to sit in booths at international arrivals so as to create long lines of weary travelers; and presumably to check passports, visas, do-not-enter lists, etc. Clearly, something went badly awry somewhere when a guy who was previously questioned by the FBI turns up at one of those checkpoints with a brand new Russian passport. Can you think of any questions to ask him? Will heads roll? Big Sis? Nah!
I’m not buying this nonsense at all. The older brother led the insanity, and he’s dead. How exactly he became a bomb building sociopath may well have died with him. Just because baby brother says he got it all off the internet in response to anger over U.S. wars does not make it so.
Seems to me like someone else was pulling the strings; I don’t understand how a mediocre human being like Tamarlan Tsarnaev managed to orchestrate something this successfully yet had no contingency plan for his own escape.
And vanderleun, thanks for making me laugh. I needed that.
