Just found an article saying the Mayor is recuperating from surgery on a broken leg.
Too bad he’s not missing both fucking legs.
If he’s leaving a blood trail I would have thought dogs would have picked up the scent. They had indications that he was bleeding.
the boat was just outside the perimeter - it had not been searched - they had entered a house that was nearby earlier they had spotted blood near, but apparently the suspect managed to elude them to tthat boat.
How he managed to get under a shrinkwrapped tarp is another story altogether - that’s not (generally) an easy thing to do.
I hope he recovers so he can hear what his uncle thinks about him and his brother. Losers. I’d love to hear the uncle’s reaction to his capture.
Capture pic, slightly bloody:
The wheelchair is a distraction he should have used long ago. Usually people notice his speech defect first. ![]()
Good guy, recently decided to retire.
A couple of minor points:
I came up with 84 Franklin street - “walking” down Franklin in Google street view, looking for the distinctive front door. Empty boat trailer in the back yard!
Didn’t White Cap escape the shootout? I never heard about his vehicle being located.
p.s. I wish I had seen the scanner link earlier - must have been cool as hell to follow in real time.
The graphic on WBZ was of 67 Franklin - the Google Maps pic shows an empty boat trailer, but the Zillow imagery shows the boat. The street view matches the other views on TV, too.
I went to a bar to get dinner, because my house was out of food and the city was on lockdown so shopping wasn’t on the menu.
Folks at the bar were buying rounds for the bar, to celebrate.
Two shots of tequila on an empty stomach, and multiple beers later, and I’m completely blitzed.
Go Boston.
CBS has recorded police scanner transmissions. Of course, they didn’t want to broadcast them until after the suspect was captured, but they’re playing them now that it’s all over. And now they have a still picture of the arrest that has just been released. It shows them giving emergency treatment for his injuries.
That made me happy.
Thanks for posting it.
Wait, they SAW BLOOD and couldn’t find him with dogs? I find this very hard to believe. It would be more likely that dogs were not brought in.
He cut a hole in it.
Dogs were definitely brought in, but Watertown is 4 mi.², and they were focused on the house to house.
Which is why the owner went to take a look inside.
the news people said he saw blood on the boat and THEN looked in.
Can we expect a comfy cell in ADX Florence for the littlest Tsarnaev once he’s patched up and convicted?
Earlier I heard it was the owner, but just now they said it was a passerby. I guess we’ll find out eventually.
Well, I imagine he’ll go to prison only for a few years and be executed for terrorism eventually. Or, if he’s (un)lucky, prison for the rest of his life. In ADX. Uncomfortably.
