Boston Marathon bombings

[machiavillain]

Im surprised you guys know what tim hortons is

[Wooglin]

isn't it the goal of terrorists, to terrorise?? well they won, entire boston and suburbs, are scared shitless in their own homes, and afraid to go outside. now the bad guys know how to shut entire city down. and that is a bad messsage to send out.

Scared shitless in Boston? My bet is they're more pissed off about their team's games being cancelled than scared.

Not sure...keep hearing the police talking about suspicious looking people in various parts of the city, and the main criterion right now seems to be that they're outside. Thanks.

Well, if you make your experiments outside...

Yep. No matter how dangerous this guy is, he and his brother have been on the loose for two days without needing to shut the city down.

I don't know that shutting down the city sends the right message either. It is of some consolation that one is in hell already, possibly being sent there by the other one running it over while escaping. It would be nice to capture that other one and extract some information first, before reuniting it with its brother. Given the vile international terrorist nature of this, the thing beast has no rights as a US citizen - it is not a uniformed enemy combatant either, I question whether it is even human. Certainly no treaty exists to protect it or its ilk.

It is graphic if you're not used to it, for those who don't wish to see, abdominal bullet hole and minor (from photo perspective) head and shoulder trauma, plus what looks like another bullet to the left forearm. Large surgical incision left abdominal.

I dunno. I think it makes sense in this situation- maybe not the entire city, but the known crime scenes stretch over several miles, and the combination of gunmen and potential bombs scattered over the city makes me think it might be worth it to avoid casualties. It's a really difficult situation.

From what I've read there was another device found and disarmed in Boston last night or earlier today. I think this is the major reason they shut everything down.

They aren't scared...they are pissed and bored.

Boston is not built that way.

People are cooperating because they understand.

That is a weird surgical incision, it runs across multiple ribs and the skin isn't cut, its ripped with the underlying fat exposed. Definitely post-mortem though.

Not for a moment suggesting they are. I think it might be an over-reaction by the authorities. Simply, they are more likely to get information if the population is out and about than with everyone isolated.

Considering his brother was wired with explosives, I'd think it's the safety first move.

If you run your fingers from your armpit downward you'll see the incision follows the line of the ribs. The use of iodine shows it's pre-mortem. Believe it or not, such an incision is less traumatic than opening the abdomen from the stomach, and with spreaders allows plenty of room for hands. All they'd be looking at doing at that stage is contain the bleeding, cauterise damage to the liver and lung and remove damaged intestine.

i noticed iodine, and ecg stickers?, and are those toothpicks? mark bullet entry? and on right hand, iv thingie, ?

i think his brother run him over with the car, that is where that bad damage came from, may be they tried to revive him, to ask q's?

edit, nope not thootpicks, needles,
