And from reports, it was the big brother throwing the bombs from the car, right?

I could kinda believe all this to be true. :smith:

And this poo poo with the boat? Man if I ran over my own brother I'd probably be crying in a boat shooting at the nearest thing to grab my attention too.

Please show me evidence of premeditated intent and his level of involvement for each. The most I am aware of is:
He physically dropped of the bag
He was present when the MIT Officer was murdered
He was present at the car jacking
He fired rounds at the police
He ran over his brother
He eluded police.

If you or anyone has more info, let me know.

I am pretty sure these are all very serious crimes whether he premeditated them or not

Honestly there isn't anything to suggest that the 19 year old kid wasn't gung ho on this before his older brother honestly. There is only conjecture and hearsay at the moment. Its possible the kid had nothing to do with this, was brain washed into doing this, or even played an active role as the mastermind.

Its why I'm asking if anyone has anything at the moment as the evidence is pretty sparse.

But... nobody is passing judgment. You are acting like all this poo poo needs to be proven right now and this guy is going to somehow walk. I'm trying to tell you that even based on what we know so far he is hosed. Additionally, it takes a long, long time to build a case and evidence. They aren't going to report on it the day after this all went down, and probably most of the evidence will not be known until the trial. Calm down.

Many people around the world hate America and will immediately say all of this is fake because America are the bad guy empire or something. Many people will post about how they want Americans to gently caress off, on facebook, from their call center job for an American multi-national while drinking Coke. They are blind as to why that is ridiculous. I guess what I'm saying is what everybody knows, conspiracy theorists are dumb.

YES, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS ABSOLUTELY A KAIJU
A friend of the younger brother CNN interviewed during the manhunt said that he'd said in the past that terrorism is justified for sending a message.

Not that teens don't always say dumb poo poo, though it does jive with the impression of his brother being the big believer and the younger brother going along with it. Not to say that he was innocent or manipulated, just in regards to being indoctrinated or as hardcore into his brother's cause.

I think rereading these threads in a few years is going to be an amazing example of confirmation bias, my own bullshit included.

There's no story
At some point he probably was a decent and kind kid who would find this kind of act reprehensible.

...people change though, and he seems easily manipulated considering he's a truther. We don't know who shot the policeman either. It might be the older brother, it might be the younger one. The only people who might have some idea of his reluctance about the whole thing is himself, and the hostage. I doubt it.

In case I wasn't making myself clear, I'm stating that without all the evidence we don't know what exactly happened. I'm not saying the kid should walk either. The punishment should fit the involvement of the crime. Before people start wishing for the kids head and stating his smile during the bomb drop of is "chilling", we should wait until there is enough evidence to paint some sort of narrative.

My hope was, honestly, that my story was completely impossible due to some sort of evidence (social media or otherwise) that I didn't know about that everyone in this thread did. Otherwise I just get a gut wrenching feeling worrying that this could have all been done with an unwilling accomplice :(

We have no idea if this was his actual motivation. The fact that he is a Chechen Muslim does not make him "hate America" or any other such crap. The fact that you seem to speak Russian and have a Russian username makes me less than willing to invest much in your opinion.

So you don't assume that Chechens hate America but you do assume that all Russians hate Chechens?

When I think of him I think of the guy who wrote the Anarchist's Cookbook, maybe they are divorced from reality and don't really think about how the things like they described actually hurt people. He just went one step further.

edit: and the cookbook guy stepped back from the edge and renounced his earlier work.

I assume that psychologists and stuff are skilled at figuring out how earlier events in his life led to the things he did based on what he says, it's not a matter of trusting him or not.

Not really. At best - assuming he's genuinely interested in telling his story and isn't just loving with them for his own amusement - they can get a good idea of what he believes led him to this place. There's an enormous body of research in the fields of forensic psychiatry and psychology, but much of it falls into the "that's interesting, but is it actually meaningful" category.

We want explanations which otherise those who commit atrocities and which reassure us that monsters exist and we can potentially identify them before they cause any harm. We want explanations which make some kind of sense to us - money, revenge, jealousy - not "I don't like Mondays".

The evidence will come from their home and actions and other things turned up by people who do this stuff for a living. It will not come from twitter or their friends saying they were good guys or whatever. He will get a trial and the chance to prove his side of the story if he so wishes. Everything will be ok.

Campus police at universities (especially with all the school shootings and prevalent drugs) are almost always fully armed and fully funded police departments. They are not mall cops. The university I went to (vermont) had the highest paid police force in the state. So yes, there is probably a dash cam, but it only points forward and likely doesn't show the shooting.
