What orders? The fools didn’t even have money to get out of town. And they certainly didn’t show intelligence or have support in their escape attempt. The younger fool showed up at school. What orders?

They had $800 from the carjack victim’s ATM account. That is enough to get out of the country if they went NW and crossed into Canada somewhere remote. 12+ hours would have gotten them to the UP, where there are areas that are not well monitored.
Possibly, they stayed around because 1) as North Easterners, they only felt comfortable in their own region or 2)they were hampered by checkpoints or 3) they needed the support of the local Chechen community & 4) don’t forget the cops arrested 3 others in connection with all this, so they had a cell.
They were so blatant at the bombing and afterward that it might have been hubris, aka “hide in plain sight”. They also may have wanted to be martyred. That arrogance shows in the Tweets and FB postings. Hard to understand that they weren’t aware of all the camera surveillance, though.
I think they wanted martyrdom. #2 could have cut/dyed his hair in an hour, lost the white cap and changed clothes. He didn’t.
