Bomber 'put gun in his mouth and fired ... may NEVER be able to be quizzed'
The Daily Mail Online ^ | April 21, 2013 | Michael Zennie

The alleged Boston Marathon bomber may have tried to kill himself rather than surrender after he was cornered by police - but failed in his suicide attempt, it has been revealed.

A new report says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shoved his pistol in his own mouth and pulled the trigger as SWAT officers and federal agents closed in on the boat where he was hiding in Friday night. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply passed through his neck.

Authorities have said they cannot question him because of a throat wound. He remains in 'very serious' condition at a Boston hospital.

Boston Mayor Tom Menino revealed on Sunday that federal agents may never be able to interview Tsarnaev. Menino didn't elaborate on his comment and it is unknown whether the gunshot also caused brain damage.

The new twist in the story of Tsarnaev's dramatic capture comes as the Boston police commissioner warns that he and his brother Tamerlan were plotting more bomb attacks on the city and they were caught just in time. Authorities insisted that the pair were working alone.

CBS News correspondent John Miller reports: 'They say it appears from the wound that he might have stuck a gun in his mouth, and fired and actually just went out the back of his neck without killing him.

......................

'That's one of the reasons he's unable to communicate, but he can understand what they're saying. And they believe there will be a point where he will be able to talk to him.'

.....................

Officials said late Friday after Tsarnaev was detained that they would use a public safety exemption to delay the suspect’s Miranda rights.

However, the exemption expires 48 hours after the arrest, so quick actions must be taken.

So what we now know is that the two were working alone as part of a 12 man cell and that LE have 48 hours to get him to talk, but he can't because he has a throat wound that won't heal in time, and they don't know whether to Mirandize him or not because of that.

Their solution will probably be to send Mumbles Menino in to read him his Miranda rights. The Chechen won't understand a word he says and LE will be covered either way they want to go.

I don’t think he’s a citizen and this was an act of war. Screw miranda rights, send him to Guantanamo.

Boston Marathon bomber may have tried to kill himself

Are they unsure if he wanted to die or are they unsure if he fired the shot?

Due to the circumstances, the 48 hours shouldn’t start until he can talk.

The fact that he is alive but can’t talk just plays into the overall scam. All we know is carefully scrubbed and manipulated to produce the desired result. Or, maybe unicorns DO exist.

....or communicate in any way. If he's awake and in stable condition, he can write or point or blink.
Ultimately, when they stepped onto that Boston sidewalk with bombs they decided to act against the United States therefore, methinks they should be considered as having renounced their citizenships through their actions.

And Benghazi was because of a YouTube video. This stinks to high heaven.

In one of the pictures I’ve seen of the younger terrorist, he seems to resemble a young Bob Dylan. Maybe that one of the reasons why the Liberals are running to support him.

He can’t be questioned but he can certainly cuss up a storm!

Boston suspect under guard with neck injury
http://gulfnews.com/news/world/usa/boston-suspect-under-guard-with-neck-injury-1.1173362

“The neck wound apparently did not initially silence Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was swearing profusely in the ambulance ride after his final confrontation with the FBI, according to a source familiar with the case. The Justice Department remained quiet Saturday on whether officials had been able to question Tsarnaev, or whether they would attempt to do so before he consults an attorney.”

I remember during the gun battle a lot of firing then like 2 shots then a time space of like 2 mins or so and one final shot!
I figured that was him taking his own life at that point and was surprised when I saw him on the ground cuffed and being worked on.
I had actually walked away and My lady said they got him!
I said got who he’s dead! She said no he’s not they got him on the ground.
