Gun battle with the Tsarnaevs: Close-up photos!

Things that make you go :eek:.

Some dude who lives just above the spot where the Tsarnaev brothers shot it out with the police had the bright idea to stick his head up and take pictures of the ongoing gun battle. Fortunately, he survived, but this was absurdly foolhardy – note the picture toward the end showing the bullet hole where a shot came through the wall and punctured his roommate’s desk chair.

I don’t see no steenkin’ pitchurs!

The cops must have jump this guy. He took the pics down.

deadspin reposted them :smiley:

Any previous misconception that Dzhokhar was some kind of a passive participant just went out the window.

Has that ever been the case seeing as there were two bombs and they are both shown carrying backpacks? That seems pretty active participant to me. What I have heard is that the older brother was more the ring-leader and converted his younger bro.

He sold them. They are available on the British site mentioned in the comments.

His parents both say they were framed, so it’s clearly true that they were.

whoever designed that site should be beaten with reeds. my nexus tablet- with its 2560x1600 display- gets served the mobile version of the page. which is a narrow strip along the left edge complete with a fake iOS look to it.
