I imagine NY state police are involved in a capacity of "If he manages to get out of Massachusetts we are going to shut him the gently caress down."

I can not even imagine the amount of force that would be used if he got to NYC proper.

If you scroll down to page 18 (page 11 of the PDF file) you'll see a photo gallery (with captions) showing Tamerlan Tsamaev doing MMA training. It says he was working towards US citizenship and had ambitions to make the US Olympic Boxing team.

"Though he's lived in the U.S. for five years, Tsarnaev says, 'I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them.'"

Some old man who may or may not be connected with this was thought to be wearing an explosive vest and holding a dead man's switch. Four robots are currently disarming/undressing/groping him.

No loving clue how accurate any of it is.
