There's a small chance I might get fired over this lock down. We don't get snow days and I didn't make my hours, and I'm out of benefit time. This was one hell of a snow day. I emailed my supervisor. The response I got was "we'll see what we can do on Monday, but no promises."

So fuck this guy and fuck the precedent.

Yeah, you've got one hell of a lawsuit sitting in front of you if they fire you.

Essentially, you will have been fired for not breaking the law.

Non-mandatory.

BUT. No public transport.

We did get sued a couple of years ago, so I hope that works in my favor, and everyone's favor, because IT'S NOT FUCKING VACATION TIME.

That will be the second thing I do.

The first thing will to be to inform them where I'm going. I imagine it won't happen but it is in the back of my mind. I always work 7 hours on Friday. I've worked 13.5 hours this week. I'm required to do 20. I can go in the hole for 6 hours. I'm at negative 1.something hours BT. So, I'm a bit nervous like.

In Mass I kept them on speed dial to see what bosses could or couldn't legally do to me.

Actually, I'm quite fond of my boss, even though I make fun of him in my head frequently (he does deserve it from time to time). But that's not the thing. It's a big ass hospital, and our division is all grant money and wary about future funding. Snow days are out. This is the same as a snow day, except it was a Russian who killed a couple of people. So... how not at fault am I here? It's more bureaucratic wutness.

In retrospect, I have to say that these guys know how to make a chase interesting.

Throwing bombs out the window of the car at the cops, etc.

Craig Murray, former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, has suggested this could be a Russian-backed operation:

QuoteCui Bono? Putin. The alleged actions of the Tsarnaev brothers are a massive setback to the cause of Chechen nationalism. The Russian government have been trying for a decade to conflate the repression of Chechen nationalism with the western construct of "the global war on terror", with very limited diplomatic success. Now expect to hear continually about "Al Qaeda in the Southern Caucasus" in the next few years. Events in Boston have been a massive diplomatic coup for Putin.

He does admit this is not necessarily the case, but it is indeed possible, given the FSB's role in the 1999 "apartment bombings" in Russia for them to be responsible for something similar in the USA.

The bombs and grenades were pretty simple, right? They wouldn't need any special instruction to make them?

No, they wouldn't.  They're essentially shrapnel in a pressure cooker.  Anyone with a couple of hundred dollars could do the same.

I'm still not sold on any particular theory yet, though I think that the idea that this is linked to Chechen nationalism is among the least likely of causes.  I'm leaning towards pan-Islamism of the lone wolf variety, but that's not definite.  I would definitely like to know more about how the Russian intelligence services (for I assume it was them who approached the FBI) came to tag the boys, as well as the full role of the FBI in the earlier assessment of the two.
