So much for the Boston Police' public speculation that Dzhokar Tsarneav may have shot himself in the neck in a suicide attempt -- and their claim the gunfire battle occuring at the boat was two-way.

Officials now say Dzhokar was unarmed when he was captured. No gun was found on or around the boat.

Two U.S. officials say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect, was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard.

Authorities originally said they had exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar for more than one hour Friday evening before they were able to subdue him.

Interesting that instead of this being the headline, CBS has a headline referring to a speculative claim by police in the article that Tamerlan may have financed the venture with marijuana sales. No support for is given other than Tamerlan was unemployed.

According to his wife, he was the stay at home dad while she worked 60 to 80 hours a week. That's hardly evidence of drug dealing.

In related news: Williams Somona pulled pressure cookers from its Boston stores. shelves. If you want one (they are great for making fast mashed potatoes), Macy's has several models still available. I recommend this one by TFal.

Question: Have police identfied this guy yet? The one they arrested and made strip naked, and then paraded in front of the media cameras as they put him in a patrol car, and then let go because he wasn't involved?

It's not the carjack victim because he's Chinese and escaped at the gas station in Cambridge while Tamerlan was pumping gas and Dzhokhar was buying Red Bull before the brothers took the car to Watertown.

Either or neither. There are any number of possibilities if you’re willing to keep an open mind and investigate beyond your bias. If you’re able to think of only two possibilities, clearly, you can’t. Worried about being called a conspiracy nut? Not me. I called ‘conspiracy’ and ‘coverup’ on Benghazi... and when it comes to the disgusting, lying, POS that is this administration, this incident is no different.

What bothers me more than anything, is not that people are fearful and, therefore, can’t allow themselves to consider the possibilities....its that, despite the extreme B.S. we’ve seen from this administration, everyone is so quick to take his word on this.. We’re talking Barack Obama here....I rule nothing out, anything is possible.

You’re insane.
