Look at 7 o’clock, below the woman in green sweater. There’s the soddie in gray jacket with BLACK BACKPACK. He was one of the three in first photo - with the guy wearing a ballpoint pen on his tshirt (which kinda tells me it’s an identifier for something)...

[fivecatsandadog]

YES!!!! The guy in gray jacket with back pack.

[Colorado Doug]

It does look like he is wearing gloves. He also seems to be holding something with his left hand, partially concealed in his pocket.

[caww]

I saw another photo where he’s looking up....the authorities certainly could get ID with a full frontal. Might be perfectly innocent...but then that is why they investigate.

[Colorado Doug]

Here is an FBI picture of one of the packs:

Disregard the red circle and look at the white logo near the top. Now compare that to the white "logo" in this second picture, near where the bent over guy is reaching.

Do you see a kid in an orange baseball cap next to the girl in green? Seems like he could be the 8 year old victim. Or the older brother of the 8 year old victim. He’s in a couple of photos.

Is the woman in the brown/orange coat with sunglasses (to right of the girl in green) his mother? Also looks like a little kid is sitting on the shoulders of the guy in front of the woman. I think the 8 year old victim was with his little sister who injured and his older brother who was uninjured. Maybe the kid sitting on the guy’s shoulder is the sister (not the photo marked with “possible 8 year old victim) but in the lower right hand corner near the blond guy in yellow.

#58 and #90

In one photo he (8 year old boy) looks to be standing next to the the two suspicious guys (see dark blue square in photo #90).

HOLY JESUS.

EVERYBODY look at this NOW.

Share NOW.

That looks like they’ve identified AT LEAST 2 hit teams.

Note the message halfway down the webpage after many photos: “They’re going to blame this on a WHITE GUY and say he used gunpowder to build the bombs, THEREFORE “reload powder” will be restricted/outlawed..... etc”

READ AND SHARE.

I have not seen this report yet. If true, that may make the video surveilance more complicated.

He’s the second person we’ve seen dressed like that, another was at the front near the gate, yellow coat, hat with flaps and sunglasses.

I have often wondered why terrorists don’t go after more soft targets in the US.

I've wondered the same. If Al Qaeda is so organized, why haven't they inititated coordinated bomb attacks on the 10,000 gallon propane storage tanks that dot the countryside in just about Everytown, USA?

Or even simpler, a hunting rifle round into the transformers in a dozen electrical transfer stations would bring the grid down on a huge geographical area with no short term solution.

Either of these coordinated by throw away cell phones to happen at a specific time would cause untold mayhem.

Either our perceived enemies aren't that clever or don't have the infrastructure or means to pull it off.

Great work.

Now we know why his hands were burned.

These men are gone. Out of the country. Poof. And AQAP is big in Yemen, where at least one man has been crucified.

Then again, the Bin Laden family heritage is Yemeni. They’re billionaires, thanks to connections with the Saudi royal family....to whose potentate 0bama made salaam, pledging his fealty.

[alrea]

If PUFFY guy isn’t suspicious, I don’t know who is.

Daily Mail’s photo of the guy with the pressure cooker doesn’t show it in his hands. Rather, he is just running.

What is ANONYMOUS trying to tell us by including these images in his "pictorial essay" on the Boston bombing?

Red/blue "SPIDERMAN" looks like undercover cop with hidden video in backpack (since he keeps wearing backpack on his forearm, pointing it around). Anonymous outlines a spot on SPIDEY's backpack, probably video peephole.

Also, red/blue is easiest combo to see from a distance, for example by roof spotters.

SPIDERMAN really can't be a suspect, b/c if you're about to commit a crime in public, you don't wear bright red unless you're the dumbest person on earth.

It appears that SPIDERMAN is following "BLACK + BLUE" (the 2 moslem-looking guys on cover of NYPost), surveiling them.

But then ANONYMOUS starts including these odd images, and I'm trying to understand why.

The best I can guess is that SPIDERMAN isn't the ONLY undercover security in this image.

To one side of SPIDERMAN, we notice ORANGE STRIPE, OAKLEY (sunglasses), SPOOKY KID. To the other side (and behind) SPIDERMAN, we notice VLADIMIR (russian hitman-looking guy in black jacket and thinning hair).

Are they gathered to assist the "Takedown" of the 2 (alleged) suspects, BLACK + BLUE, if the suspects pull some violent stunt?

WHY does ANONYMOUS include this separate shot of only SPOOKY KID, ORANGE STRIPE, and OAKLEY? What's the point of this shot? Could SPOOKY KID be a small but over-18 undercover "accesory" to one of the undercover cops to help them blend in as a "family?" SPOOKY KID is freaking me out.

WHY WAS THIS PHOTO INCLUDED?

Good points, everyone.

What is that "HUGE BAG" that BENDING GUY keeps digging thru?

Is that a baby stroller?

Overall, the surface facing us looks tilted up, on an angle, like those baby strollers that have the kid "propped up" similar to a lounge chair. It looks like a miniature lounge chair with "arms."

Sort of an "enclosure for blocking the view of objects as you mess with them."

And unless the baby is "Darth Vader with a square white nametag on his face," I don't think there's a baby in it.

As mentioned, more like the size/shape of a pressure cooker.

Folks, I think I just found the "baby" in the stroller.

Notice the 2 "eyes" on either side of "baby's" face? I think those are the 2 metal SPOKES poking from the lid of the pressure cooker, as these images show......

[Boogieman]

There was a story posted the other day at Time about one of the photographers who was on the scene immediately. He described seeing an overturned stroller right near the blast site, and said he rushed over to check it, but there was no child in it. Could be the same stroller that you’re talking about.

I thought the boy in the UnderArmor hoodie was the 8 year old that was killed?
