HMPH WELL http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/25/boston-bombing-times-square-dahokhar-tsarnaev-attack/2112991/ They're expanding on the "party" thing and Bloomsberg is saying that Tsarnaev changed his tune and admitted that they planned an attack. But I thought he wasn't talking anymore? quote:In his initial interviews with investigators, the younger Tsarnaev said only that the pair intended to go to Manhattan "to party." The next day, according to Kelly, he changed his story and told them about the Times Square plan. But CNN says they had five pipe bombs and a really super plan that would have gone off without a hitch except for the whole cars needing gas thing http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/25/us/boston-attack/index.html quote:Dzhokhar Tsarnaev initially told investigators that he and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had talked about going to New York to "party." But after further questioning he revealed that they planned to use their remaining explosives there, Kelly announced.

From the sound of it, they were planning on laying low for a while and maybe making some more bombs (the one they threw during the chase, the one the cops have), and then eventually picking another target. Then when they got outed on the news, and knew they could be identified any time, they took a few hours to gather their poo poo and jumped on the road. What really worries me now is that it's been demonstrated as a big story in the media how 'easy' it is to make a homemade IED and set it off, that we're much more likely to see crazy copy-cat attacks like school shootings.

Sooo, i'm a bit confused with how little brother got that nasty throat/facial wound. Reports are now saying to weapon was found in the boat, so was he shot/injured during the whole HIDDEN IN A BOAT escapade? I remember hearing the whole "we are fyring dummy round in da boat!" Where they perhaps firing rubber bullets? And that was sufficient to pierce the skin?

The second page already starts wth the irrelevant results and a quick search on twitter has about two uses per day, half of those are german or derogatory names for mcdondalds food comparing them to paper. It's more common than I thought, but if I went to the average person on the street and mentioned "the mcpaper", they'd look at me like an alien most likely

How would that make any sense? Reddit is only one of many websites - including this one - where people were doing that internet detective poo poo. Plus someone would have to prove damages. I think the actual news sources that were running photos of "suspects" would be a more likely target but even then it would be a pretty big stretch.

brylcreem posted:If this has been discussed to death, feel free to tell me to shut up. To many people, "unattended" doesn't mean "on the ground at a large public event". It's normal for many people to put their bags on the ground in that situation just as it's normal for them to put their bags on the floor when travelling on a packed train during peak hour. A bag left in a train carriage or on a bus after everyone's alighted will trigger "if you see something, say something" thoughts. A bag that is obviously out of place - in a garbage bin, for instance - will make people nervous. But there are many situations in which bags sitting around without their owners holding onto them is entirely normal and expected (here, pretty much every situation in which there are a lot of people crammed into a limited space). Is it a good or a bad thing that we've gotten over the paranoia which existed in the immediate aftermath of September 11 2001 (and here, during the Sydney Olympics the year before), where there were daily reports of "suspicious packages" being found? Well, we still don't have garbage bins on many of our railway station platforms here, but I don't think that makes us inherently safer. We've learned to go about our daily business without fear again over the last 12 years and overall I believe that's a good thing. And yeah, add me to the ranks of people disturbed by the assumption that this young man will spend the rest of his life in supermax. A guiding principal of most modern criminal justice systems is that people are sent to prison as punishment not for punishment. The isolation of prisoners should always be rare, for the shortest time possible, and constantly reviewed.

GWBBQ posted:It's also widely read by people who speak English as a second language. It's not prestigious journalism, but it's not a bad or heavily biased paper. It may actually be the least-biased paper around. Their biggest subscriber demographic is hotels that give it to customers for free so the publishers has a profit motive to piss off as few readers as possible where a regular newspaper may find it more profitable to bias themselves to attract a particular ideology. Like everyone else said though, this approach doesn't result in great journalism.

For one thing, many news sources continue to state that the names were mentioned on a police scanner, so you'd have to first prove that they weren't, and then prove that the very first person to tweet about it (who may not be easy to track down) did so with the malicious intent to smear Sunil's name. edit: ok apparently it's known who the very first person to tweet about it was: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/04/it-wasnt-sunil-tripathi-the-anatomy-of-a-misinformation-disaster/275155/ - however you'd still have to prove that he was intentionally trying to smear Tripathi's name Earwicker fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Apr 25, 2013 |
