Moments before he was captured by authorities Friday night, this is a surveillance image of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, as he was climbing out of the boat where he had likely been hiding for hours.

My understanding is they didn’t want him dead. Reminds me, in a way, about the dog that chases cars: Now that you caught it, what are you going to do with it?
That's a pretty risky tactic. He could get off a lucky shot.
Not a cause. But swift action probably saved a lot of lives.

...The events of Wednesday night started around 7:30 p.m. with a fire at the fertilizer plant. Almost immediately, homes, businesses and more than 130 nursing home residents were evacuated. Less than 30 minutes after the initial fire, the explosion happened...
Says something about marksmanship.
And we’ll have to suffer through seeing his face on the six-o-clock News for at least the next twenty years
I understand. But it seems that he was pretty well bled out by this point. I don't think he had much time left by the time he crawled out.
No, but they asked that they not receive any more help right now...their “cup runneth over.” They hav been overwhelmed with with supplies, clothes, etc.....all from Texans, BTW.
This entire story is so tragic. Tragic that innocent people were killed and maimed on a beautiful day in Boston on Patriot’s day.
The lost life of this young boy from Chechnya is also a tragedy. From all accounts he did have a promising future ahead of him in high school. His older brother is a thug, criminal and wife beater sociopath whose muslim extremism is just an outlet for his antisocial behavior. The younger without a father and then without a mother left in total control of his brother and his jihadist handlers ( I have no doubt there is one if not more) never stood a chance and will pay with his life, one way or another.
To find the Sheiks and Imams responsible they will follow the money. These wealthy foreigners sit pretty in diplomatically protected places while they systematically destroy the lives of vulnerable youths. True evil. Send in the drones.
I’ve been wondering this myself. My fear is the firm was storing or keeping petroleum fuel in proximity to ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Even a small leak will create a devastating blast. I think this has been specifically illegal since the aftermath of the Texas City blast in 1947.
His father may not believe his boys did it.
Waaaah....he made his choice, he alone chose his path.
The fire, no. The explosion was the ammonia system.
We probably won’t know the suspected cause for a while since, unless there is a very obvious origin and cause, these types of investigations take a long time, mostly because of the damage that occurs. At any rate, the newspapers don’t seem to be interested on reporting the causes of past fires and explosions unless there’s some juicy scandal attached to it. We’ll probably have to wait until FEMA releases it’s report (probably a year from now) or until someone writes about it in a fertilzer/chemical industry or first responder journal.
Unfortunately, young guys can sometimes be pretty easily manipulated. I seriously doubt the 19-year-old was the mastermind. That would be extremely unusual. I think he was following his older brother and probably other older mentors. However, he still had the ability to say no or to go and report the whole plot to the police. So I’m not excusing him. He will pay for this with his entire life, and he should.
All of that said, if it hadn’t been for the influence of others, he might have stood a real chance to turn out a decent person instead of the total murdering scumbag he became.
As I said he will pay with his life for his choices....If you are a Christian human ( which I am) than all life is valuable and meaningful and for the potential good to be destroyed by evil is tragic... that is my point. It is not one of sympathy for the criminal it is recognizing the goodness that could have come from his life.

Yes, that’s the sense I’ve had of this too. The older brother was the angry, unstable Islamist, and little brother just followed along behind (or was bullied, pushed and bribed into it). That said, the place he followed his brother to is a pretty evil place.
On a side note, I’m glad it’s little brother who survived rather than big brother. The older one might have managed to hold out information. I think this one will sing like a birdie if they just use good cop/bad cop on him. And while he may not know much compared to older brother, even a little may lead the Feds right to the beginnings of this operation. (Because you KNOW someone with more smarts conceived this and put them up to it!)
From the very first mention of the heinous MUSLIM atrocity, each following second of every succeeding hour of each passing day was another individual chance for any character he might possess to assert itself.
Hence, having refused literally thousands and thousands of opportuities for choosing the humane course and blowing the whistle, he chose to side with the jihadi cult of barbaric murderous vermin.
Year after excruciating decade of seemingly endless days of death within life, in an institution devoid of any sort of human warmth, is infinitely more befitting to avenge the untold suffering caused by his unspeakably vile crimes.
Execution is too merciful by miles.
recognizing the inherent value of all human life is not saccharin, it’s truth.
we should all remember that vengeance belongs to God.
Muslim extremism is evil as I said, and yes he will pay for his choices with his life. Perhaps if this young man had had a little more human warmth we wouldn’t be where we are today.
please spare us your righteousness
Looking forward to the public execution of this terrorist puke.
Fair warning: YOU WILL BE PUNISHED. No prison, no Gitmo, just you swinging.
