Info Wars (I know...I know...I KNOW.) posted the surveillance pics as broken down by Anonymous on 4Chan. They're too busy reeling about them being Navy SEALs obviously planted by the government (obviously), but the pics are pretty fucking good.

Looks like a fight is happening between AP and the Boston PD - the former claims they have someone arrested, while the latter is strongly denying it.

More bomb info.

Quote from: BBCInvestigators have been sifting through thousands of pieces of evidence, ranging from video recorded on mobile phones to fragments of shrapnel removed from the victims' legs.

Officials said a circuit board and battery pack - parts of a triggering mechanism - had been recovered and the lid of a pressure cooker, apparently blown off during the explosion, was found on the roof of a nearby building.

The bombs are believed to have consisted of explosives placed in 1.6-gallon (6-litre) pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombs, which a source said had been placed in black bags and left on the ground.

AP say they have a source in the PD who disagrees.  Is the source mistaken?  Possibly.  Doing it for attention?  Again, possibly.  AP are fairly well established - while they get up to the usual media chicanery, they're serious enough that they wouldn't do something like this without some justification.

Frankly, I think the BPD is stumped, and flailing around.

Wouldn't surprise me.

I do have a negative opinion of them from their magazine, though, and I'm sure not every BPD member is racist jerk with a sense of humour formed by 1990s talk radio.  Still, if they are, it could very well explain the lack of progress. 

The FBI probably see it the same way, too.  Let the Boston PD flail around, while they sift through the forensic evidence.

This just gets weirder and weirder. What do you make of it?

When I was watching Boston Channel 5 earlier today, they cleared the courthouse, calling it a bomb scare. Believable, considering the heightened paranoia, and this was after they had announced they had someone...and didn't. So the place was swarming. They evac'd the building, and then vans showed up and went to side entrances out of camera view. The bomb squad went in through the front door with the dogs and all the pomp and circumstance that goes with it. They were talking to one of their own reporters, and she was describing that she was talking to one of the prosecuting attorneys in the Whitey Bulger case who was in there, and he said he was told to get a courtroom ready, but it could have been for anything, really. Then, they let the judges back in, supposedly, but told everyone else it would take "hours."

I figured it was just another bomb threat, and turned off the feed so I could get some homework done, but it does seem weird. Since I don't care for conspiracy theories, I'm chalking it up to, "I don't know wtf is happening, so I'm KYFMS." The press will get information when the authorities are damn good and ready to give it to them.

Those pics are rather convincing. That prediction by the top poster in there is also pretty specific.

Some of them are. Some of them are fucked up, one points out a guy with a duffel and a guy with a backpack. Then the next pic shows the guy who had the duffel, and it says "backpack missing". You can see the shoulder strap of the duffel.

You have to wonder how many people had similar backpacks, too.

I can totally see them spinning a story like that, though. "Damn unbalanced kids are out of control".  :x :x :x

Plus there could be any number of reasons for someone to look away. Perhaps they were watching a specific runner. There's another in there where one of the guys could well be checking a chick out.

Yeah, that's another one. A certain amount of people watching is normal in crowds.
