What We Know About Boston Marathon Bomb Suspects Dzhokhar And Tamerlan Tsarnaev
buzzfeed.com ^ | April 19, 2013

Multiple sources have identified Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, as the remaining suspect in the Boston marathon bombings.

His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, has been identified as the first suspect and died overnight following a firefight with police.

NBC News' Pete Williams said earlier Friday morning that the two suspects likely had "foreign military training," and had been in the country for about a year.

Later he said they were brothers, and added, "They were legal permanent residents. They were in this country legally, at least a year. They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here."

Just before 7 a.m. Friday morning, the Associated Press confirmed Williams' reporting and naming Tsarnaev. Born July 22, 1993, according to Williams, Tsarnaev attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and has a Massachusetts drivers' license.

The brother, although NBC initially reported he was 20, was 26 and named Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He died overnight in the firefight with police, suffering from "blast and potentially gunshot wounds ...probably a blast injury [and] possibly shrapnel" throughout his trunk.

OH, that isn’t just an American trait: my terrorizing child was so good, he didn’t deserve to be shot and killed.

Will no one use the word Sunni Muslim to describe these guys?

How do you tell a Sunni from a piece of Shi'ite?

Just looked up the name "tamerlan"... named after turkic king Tamerlane who was known as the sword of Islam in the late14th - early 15th century. Names have meanings.

“Islam is not merely a religion, it is a political movement.”

Or a cult.

> Islam is not merely a religion, it is a political movement. The goal of every true Muslim is to destroy all infidels. An Islamic utopia with no Jews, no Christians, no Hindus, no Bhuddists and no dissent

And after that is accomplished I guess they will have to start on themselves because they won’t have anything to blow up or any heads to chop off and they will be very bored...lol

OK, here’s another thing I hate with FOX - they insist on this stupid terminology “HOMICIDE bombers”. Meanwhile the man she talks to keeps calling them suicide bombers.

Off the bombing at hand, it is IMPLIED anyone who bombs probably wants to kill others. Pointless. The difference with Moslems generally is they like to kill themselves in the process. I wish FOX would get off it and stop haughtily spouting that they won’t dignify the bombers by calling them suicide. Totally stupid.

*off soap box now!

A lot of talk about how nice and normal these kids were and speculation about how they could have changed.

It’s called radicalization. Look to the Muslim Student Association at MIT for a starting point.

I heard that too, but since every weapon is an assault weapon to the medidiots - I’ll take it with a grain of salt until more is known.

On hearing news of the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Obummer
told his parents, “if I had a son he would looked like your your son”.

Now I’m really confused... is it still racist to point out that they’re muslim even if they’re white?

"All I can say is if these guys were on the loose in my neighborhood and the police were telling everyone to stay inside and lock their doors, I sure would want to be able to have a semi-automatic gun with a high capacity magazine to protect myself and my family...."

Chris Wallace just said almost precisely this on Fox just now. Said it will be discussed this Sunday!

> Just heard in the news that there are SWAT teams in monkey county Maryland,, something big is going on there.

Probably a staged raid with fake Tea Party members and rednecks with faux bomb making equipment and documents linking them to the Chechens.../s

His response - "Oh, I was really hoping they weren't muslim."

The converse of that is if he was hoping that they weren't muslim is that he was hoping they were something else. What else? Going by his fellow liberals' responses he was hoping that they were white conservative NRA and tea party members.

Truth has not mattered to the left for a very long time. It amazes me that our society ignores facts and goes with feelings - that the false narratives of the left on race, government spending, guns, etc. are accepted as truth when someone with an IQ over room temperture could see through their BS in a heartbeat. Very depressing.
