Ok, so they killed one of them...

Word is they're from Chechnya.

Chechnya?

Cain, what do you know about the various political/radical factions over there?  My world politics is for shit.

Oh, they've shut down Watertown completely (no one is to be on the streets), and they've stopped all subway, bus, and commuter rail service.  ALL OF IT.


This is so weird.

This can now offically be merged with the Things Go Boom thread.

It occurs to me that I am in the middle of a domestic military action in response to a criminal act.  This seems to be the first of it's kind (although, South Central LA in the 90s was probably close).

It's not a criminal act, it's an act of TERRURtm

In the firefight (the audio of which is SCARY AND AWESOME AS HELL), these guys were throwing bombs and shit.

I need to check to see which universe we're in today.

Come to think of it wasn't there some muppet in england, in a siege a year or so back, lobbing nades at filth from a bedroom window?

Don't tell me the UK is pulling ahead of the US in terms of weapon-crime  :eek:

Chechnya?

Until Cain can get back to us with something more legit, allow me to attempt to whet your appetite as to who the Chechens are:

Basically, the Chechen people are a Caucasian (actual caucasians...not our feeble word for "white") people who live in the Republic of Chechnya. They primarily practice Islam of the Sunni variety, and in "the old days" were subjects to the USSR.

After the USSR split, the Russian federation has tried time and time again to conquer Chechnya, and the Chechens have not only repelled these attacks, but also invaded the Russian subject of Dagestan on occasion.

tl;dr, the Chechens are a people who've been bothered by the Russians, and in return they cause some bother back.

Concerning our two bombers, it would seem that the dead one, a mr. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was simply alienated from living in american society. A "stranger in a strange land" who decided to go blow some folk up.  Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."

Appearantly, the other guy was his brother...so, two alienated Chechens decided to blow off steam?

Granted the brothers are clearly not of sound mind, but I don't understand the logic of "I feel so disconnected. I don't understand anyone. So fuck it I'm going to blow up innocent people."  :?

Still unclear where they're really from. I'm hearing both Chechen, Dagestani, born in Kyrgyzstan, lived in the US for 10 years. Could still be ANYTHING. Could be related to the ongoing Islamist insurgency in the Northern Caucasus, could be completely unrelated.
