I don't see that happening at all. He is really far away from the definition.

Ok we will have to agree to disagree on that.

As far as the time of day goes, that is not a dealbreaker for me as to when he got into the boat yet because we do not know how long he was there.
snipped up a bit

I think the comment from LE and the homeowner about the amount of blood inside the boat tells us he was there for quite sometime.

I just don't envision him being declared an enemy combatant.

I agree. Plus if he WERE we would have to declare war on the "enemy".

Yeah the money/status thing and devout Islamic Jihad do NOT go together at all.

Complete opposites in fact. Maybe he was all about the infamy but how on earth did he convince his little brother?

Some people are easily lead, manipulated and brainwashed by rhetoric.
MOO the whole family had radical, paranoid thoughts and expressed hatred and envy towards Americans. They tried to fit in.
The Aunt, Mother, Father are very hostile show no interest or compassion to the victims. I can imagine he was raised in this environment his whole life.

Seems she likes nice clothes. I mean she wasn't stealing clothing from Walmart :banghead:

Yes. It appears the family was very much into appearances. JMO, OMO, MOO, etc.

That's not true in the slightest when you get to the level of the everyday folks doing the deeds. The clerics themselves may profess an anti-Western sentiment and disdain for all that goes with it, but the random hate-filled-but-no-quite-so-true-to-faith activist is often very interested in status.

We have met the enemy and the enemy is us?
The younger one really was in US for a long time, since he was a small child.
Kind of hard to argue he was in fact an enemy combatant all this time.

Yes. It appears he had no other mature adult close by or in his life offering guidance. Only his Brother. Not excusing him just pointing it out.

I absolutely agree. Obviously he was very devoted to his older brother and possibly worshipped the ground he walked on. The brother starts to spout off fanatical ideas.

Question: Does Dzhokhar have experience in boxing like his older brother Tamerlan did?

He was living with his parents up until recently. They only went back to Russia recently. His brother was not raising him.

I believe he was experienced in wrestling, not boxing.

Do you know how recent or why they returned? I tried to find that info and came up empty handed.
thanks!

We don't know what he was being taught or led to believe in his home either.

Many terrorists live among us leading seemingly normal lives for years.

I believe he was on the school wrestling team and quite good. I think that was in high school.

Mother was arrested for shoplifting in 2012. So she was still in US in 2012.
