Explosion at the Boston Marathon #3

[frostie]

Im really beginning to wonder if.. these bombers.. be in the guys in the pictures or not.. sat their bags down etc.. and asked someone close by "hey, can you watch this for us we will be right back" type.

You would think someone would have come forward if so, but who knows.

Me too. The vanishing backpack is certainly troubling. Of course he might have just laid it at his feet to give his back and arms a rest.

Or to walk away so it blows off the legs of others.

I said news sourceS.
Plural.

Unless they are all blatantly lying to us, MULTIPLE news sources have seen the photos and described them. To a tee.

It's not opinion.
It's a fact. MULTIPLE news outlets are SAYING they SAW the photos of the 2 POI's being sought by the FBI.

I doubt that they're flat-out lying, but there's certainly been a history of media rushing out with unfounded rumors or inadequately researched stories just so they can be the ones to break the news, and exaggeration is routine.

you know what ive just noticed? in the first pic there is blue material everywhere all over the crime scene. this could be that blue rucksack bag the guy was carrying.

Look closely at the last 4 photos in this link. *IF* the guy in the white hat was holding a backpack in front of him (as has been speculated by the position of his arms), then he clearly dropped it because you can see that by the last photo, his arms are crossed in front of him. These photos were all taken in the same place, as evidenced by the woman in the pink jacket remaining behind him in all the photos.

I, personally, do not believe he had the backpack with him at all in these photos -- I think it had already been dropped at the first bomb site and that what we are seeing in this photo is the two of them preparing to drop the duffel bag.

These are ALL from site #1 with the flags, they are just images that are cropped in closer. The original images are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hahatango/sets/72157633252445135/

You should scroll down to the last photo where his arms are clearly folded in front of him.

See my edits. :rocker:

Me too, I didn't have the right linking issue with my son's picture.

He is 100% American as well. We live in a diverse society I guess it puzzles me why so many people are still trying to label Americans as foreign based on their complexion.

Wow. Handsome kid!

 

[frostie]

Reddit is saying these are two local boys, and they've been identified. Reddit is telling users that if they post about them anymore, or their personal information, that they will be permanently banned. Apparently the one in blue teaches sports to local kids and is furious on his Facebook, threatening to sue.

So I don't know what to think, once again!

Good find.

 

[IzzyBlanche]

In one photo they are obviously folded.

Duly noted and corrected, thanks. My oversight.

If they are saying they saw the photos from the FBI there are two scenarios...
1) they saw the photos and the FBI is looking for this pair of men
2) they are blatantly lying

You either saw something or you didn't.

I think they saw the photos.
I think the two men are not only POI's but full blown suspects.
I think those two men were on tape from the store.
I think the FBI has cell phone records.
I think it's just a matter of time before we have an arrest confirmation and we will all know these two men dropped bomb filled backpacks at the feet of innocent people and walked away.

So confusing. Are there two pairs of guys, one in black with white hat, the other in blue track suit? One of the guys in black clearly has large white letters in front of his jacket.

 

[Madchen]

Good find.

They also showed the boy in blue's Facebook pictures, and the links were removed. I saved them real quick (hey, I majored in criminal justice, it's in my blood) but don't feel comfortable posting them.

Excuse me, the guy in the black shirt teaches sports to local kids. Apparently the one in blue works at a running store.

Interesting.

I hope they have contacted LE and a lawyer.

I believe they saw photos and that the person who showed them may have had some connection to LE. I think where they exaggerated/failed to check/rushed to judgement is assuming that the person who showed them the photos knew what they were talking about.

I know pic can make people look different in certain poses, but the white hat guy does almost look like two different people in a couple of pics.

You have a very handsome son. You must be a proud parent!

 

[Chewy]

They do look suspicious in the pix, and the overlay shows they are standing right near ground zero. The guys coming forward was all I needed, obviously by now they had to have seen themselves.

 

[rolltidemom]

The blue jacket guys both have red shoes but different color sleeves?

I'm not too good at paint but I tried to set the 2 pics side by side. I thought the same about the sleeves. The closer I looked it seems the sleeves have black underneath which could be possible in both pics.

Wow. If these 2 are innocent and the media has spread the word that they have been shown photos and they are indeed suspects. Yikes. These guys should get lawyers. I won't be further speculating about them.
