I caught that too..wonder if that’s why the won’t say who he is?
Still odd. The brothers had cars and their friends had cars (mercedes, yet)—but they had to take the chance of hijacking another car?
And they let the driver go (mistake?) —and his call to police is what got them caught?
Or, did they meet with a contact who gave them a car and cash, and then deliberately phoned police to turn them in—thinking that they wouldn’t be taken alive, or would commit suicide if cornered?
Is that the way a terror cell operates—to protect itself?
The bombers are the lowest men on the ladder, they are expendable. Get a couple of low-level dupes to plant the bombs, then break the link in the chain (remove them) and the cell can continue to operate?
Don’t know. But maybe worth looking into
(I’m sure the FBI will get around to it right after they finish checking if they had permits for their guns,
and permits to stay in the USA, and were not being sought by foreign governments, and where they got their money from,
and if they were in the drug trade, and what the “terrorista” plate meant...)
“The brothers told the driver they wouldn’t kill him because he wasn’t an American.”
I hadn’t heard that but when I heard they let him live it crossed my mind that it was something like that.
I find it ironic that a muslim terrorist is being treated at the Beth Israel Medical Center. I hope the authorities are making sure he knows who’s saving his life.
Come on, people. My bet is the “victim” is one of them, most likely another Saudi.
Their handler with the burned hands was in the hospital/custody. They had to call another in for help. They drive around a while pleading that they need a car, but he can’t just give it to them without implicating himself. Thus, the “car jacking”.
What I loved best was the Coexist bumper sticker on the car.
Perfect touch in the video of the shoot-out.
If a carjacker were to jump into your car and say, "I won't kill you because you are not an American" -- would you correct them and declare your patriotism?
Love of country and love of God are not the same thing, but our Founders pledged their lives, their honor and their fortunes to give us this country. How quickly would we declare, "American? Me? Ha! I voted for Obama, man!"
Report: Bomb suspects’ carjack victim spared because he wasn’t American
By KEVIN ROBILLARD | 4/22/13 8:47 AM EDT
The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon’s finish line told the man they carjacked on Thursday night that they only decided not to kill him because he “wasn’t an American,” according to a report Monday.
NBC’s Pete Williams said the man, who asked not to be identified, told police that Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev said they spared his life because he was not an American.
What I’ve not heard is - why did they kill the MIT security guard? The commissioner said it was an “assassination”, but weren’t they trying to get away? And just happened to show up at a c-store while it was being robbed? Odd coincidence, to say the least.
It’s nauseating the way some of the media want to portray Tsarnaev Jr. as some misguided fresh-face kid!
He murdered people for Chri^% sake!
Thsi should change oour perception of our “fellow citizen” Dzokhar. He is now, by his own statement an enemy combatant.
