There's a lot we still don't know about what happened in Boston last week. But new details that surfaced on Wednesday night reveal some key details that stand to change the timeline of the final 24 hours of the manhunt dramatically. Among other revelations, police are now saying that they don't believe Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the two brothers suspected of carrying out the attack, was armed when they opened fire on him Friday evening. In fact, authorities admit that the two brothers didn't quite have the small arsenal of weapons they thought they did — just one gun, a gun that wasn't anywhere near Dzhokhar when he was found in the boat after a shootout.

Still no *why*.

Standing by for the "He is just a nice young man and was getting his life together" defense in 3...2...1....

Uh, Just one gun?

There are pictures of the shoot out where both of the bombers have guns in their hands and are shooting at police.

Who are you going to believe, the Gov or your lying eyes

You can’t make this stuff up.

What’s funny is every word/report is being analyzed and autopsied...yet here in CT we still don’t have a police report about the Newtown slayings.

[MHGinTN]

So who/which one was throwing th4e bombs and when was the last one thrown?

[cynwoody]

This leads to the natural conclusion that the bombing, somehow, was funded by their drug money. But honestly, it's very tough to tell how they got the money they spent on the bombs.

Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva. Duh!

[Daffynition]

Add to the pressure cooker a bunch of trigger happy bungling idiot cops.

....That and welfare payments from the state of Massachusetts.

The fact of the matter is that this was a chaotic event, a random act of violence and ultimately an act of terrorism.

False on its face. No act can simultaneously be a random act of violence and an act of terrorism.

Where does the Atlantic hire these morons?

This was worshipers of the child-molester god, pure and simple!

I thought #2 had a self inflicted gun shot to the throat as well... what happened to that version of the story?

[dagogo redux]

Looks like a painting by Whistler.

I beginning to wonder if there even was a shootout. i cannot belive the amount of disinformation that has been spewed in this whole mess. from the cars they were ,or werent driving, who they knew and didnt know, on and on and on. This is like playing that ole game telephone, where you whispered something in someones ear

where’s the blood?

I’ll wonder now if Adam Lanza’s electronic communications reached all the way to Chechnya. His attack was very Beslan-esque and I thought so at the time. Maybe we should call the Boston bombers terrorists #2 & #3.
