    According to whom? You? Or the human being who decided what to write down?

    John Kerry, off script:

    Except that he had already embraced radical Islam at this point, and is a suspect in the murder of his "best friend".

    So, there's no evidence that it was his trip to Russia that gave him a "willingness to kill".

    And, I'll bet the Russians won't appreciate the comments, especially since they warned us about this guy well before his trip to Russia.

    More Kerry:

    Except it was precisely not the absence of a "belief system" that led them to kill.

    It was their embracing a dangerous belief system.

    At memorial service for slain officer Sean Collier, VP Biden calls bombing suspects “two cowardly, twisted, perverted knock-off jihadis."

    I'm gonna guess the older brother had the single gun, and the brother in the boat was unarmed, despite all the news accounts that he fired shots at the cops.

    Does not square with NYT report of 4/21:

    Along with determining that the suspects had made at least five pipe bombs, the authorities recovered four firearms that they believe the suspects used, according to a law enforcement official. The authorities found an M-4 carbine rifle — a weapon similar to ones used by American forces in Afghanistan — on the boat where the younger suspect was found Friday night in Watertown, Mass.

    Two handguns and a BB gun that the authorities believe the brothers used in an earlier shootout with officers in Watertown were also recovered, said one official briefed on the investigation. The authorities said they believe the suspects had fired roughly 80 rounds in that shootout, in which Tamerlan Tsarnaev was fatally wounded, the official said.

    Why isn't the mainstream media talking about the influence of Alex Jones on Tamerlan?

    Why is Infowars's role in this being downplayed? Why is the liberal media so reluctant to tie Alex Jones to terrorism?

    You know why - as soon as they do, it proves they're in on the conspiracy!

    Who knows. The narrative of the chase from Cambridge has become a moving target.
    I read at one point that terrorists were throwing pipe bombs out window of car at police but I not seen any pictures of damage. The bomb that was tossed at police during shootout did not leave much of a mark on street.

    The story becomes more curious by the minute.

    How many police officers were injured during the late night standoff/chase? Are they faking it?
