Report: Arrest made or imminent in Boston Marathon Bombings [LIVE THREAD ON IMMINENT ARRESTS]

WCVB-TV Boston ^ | 1:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | Janet Wu

They have to coordinate this with Obama’s speech coming up...He's not a happy man the gun bill didn't go through and wants to make sure his subjects know it. ......Meanwhile the guy they arrested is going thru the proper processing....without delays, and shuttled off to some undisclosed area well out of sight of the press.

[longfellowsmuse]

my mistake I was talking about the guy with the burned hands at the hospital... not the new guy, whomever he may be.

[longfellowsmuse]

perhaps and the “bomb scare” at the courthouse was just cover

[trisham]

Now, TV reports are that the briefing was postponed. Oy.

[trisham]

Apparently, Obama’s motorcade just drove by Harvard. I wonder if he’s the reason why they postponed/cancelled/whatever the briefing.

[EEGator]

It’s actually quite confusing. So many back and forth reports. He’s a person of interest, now he isn’t. Someone new under arrest...no one under arrest.

[lonevoice]

5pm presser was postponed "indefinetly" now they are saying it will happen within the next two hours.

At the courthouse still??

My goodness, I'm so dizzy the room is starting to spin.

[trisham]

This is true.

[jersey117]

So we can all praise him for his handling of something that should never have happened? Where’s Janet? Are we still under attack? WTF is happening? I was just on the subway to Penn station. People are nervously looking around at backpacks. People have had their limbs blown off. Others died. We deserve more than an empty three minute teleprompter reading 3 hours after the fact.

[Berlin_Freeper]

RELAX!!!

[lonevoice]

Yes, I keep hearing that it is postponed, which, technically, isn’t exactly the same as cancelled. Or not. :-)

[rockabyebaby]

NO at the Westin Hotel where it was originally scheduled.

[lonevoice]

Thanks, you’re right. It’s getting close to cocktail hour anyway.

[caww]

It’s all cover right now...people are very angry...some probably out with a vengeance...and the press easily ignores instructions unless from police or legal authorities. The courthouse nor the hospital would be able of themselves to control either the people or the press...... So I understand what seems to be madness...the fewer people admitted near or close to ..the better to carry out the business at hand.

Heck the male pundits are having difficulty controlling their own emotions in this....the woman....well I’ll reserve my comment..and I’m a woman!

[txhurl]

He was having his magistration papers drawn up so he can be put immediately in an interrogation cell, maybe? The hospital would have to release him HIPPA-airtight into police custody at the lowest floor where he could be rushed to central booking?

The ‘representative’ from Saudi is probably a sharp lawyer... uggg I’m so sick of conjecturing..

[trisham]

I’m torn between thinking that in their desire to scoop each other, the media got it wrong and thinking that someone is using them to purposely mislead everyone, or to mislead the bomber, or to make Obama look good, or who knows?

[trisham]

It’s 5:35 here. We’re in the clear. :)

[lonevoice]

Much appreciated.

[caww]

.....”It’s actually quite confusing”.....

That’s the idea....meanwhile the authorities can get the work done to process this guy. (Bomber)

[txhurl]

Apparently, Obama’s motorcade just drove by Harvard. I wonder if he’s the reason why they postponed/cancelled/whatever the briefing.

Maybe zero wants to meet with the ‘representative’ as some sort of just-made-up protocol demand. Doubt SA wants this kind of press right now, if the guy’s superrich as it sounds, SA is open to all sorts of liability lawsuits.
