Oh come on, this is a press conference. The whole point is for reporters to ask all the questions they can't during an active manhunt.

Reporter: "Why did you wanna take him alive?"

uh what

This is actually a great question. When we write stories, we do so to also create a historical record.

If it isn't obvious to a reader now or in the future why this guy was caught alive, having somebody explain why can put it into context.

In addition, Fox News is loving terrible and probably reached for whatever photo it could find. And if the government really wanted to do a false flag thing with "crisis actors", I'm 100% sure they could find more than 4-5 people to do the loving job.

Amazing work by everyone involved, incredible that they were able to take this guy alive. Hopefully now there can be some understanding as to what inspired such a horrendous act, far better than another dead body and no answers.

What could he possibly say that would give anyone any greater insight into his actions? What could he say where you would even see where they were coming from? There's no making sense of a senseless act.

All news agencies are both terrible because they are two slow and too fast. The Boston cops caught a loving terrorist hiding in a boat. He will likely be tried for multiple murders. Cut some people some slack.

When you have the entire Boston PD, the FBI, and LAPD chasing you, somehow I can't see him even coming close to thinking of how to blow more people up.

There is a non-zero chance that he was in contact with other terrorist types? Even if not, insight into the criminal mind can be useful.
