CRedskinsRule 04-20-2013, 03:24 PM Her JR, I am JUST critiquing their abysmal job of containing the younger brother post-shootout. If he was as committed to the cause as the older brother it could have been stupendously ugly.
A few things.
1) I think you are basing this mostly on the trail of blood, but I doubt that there was much of a trail. Yes he was bloody at the end, but had he been bleeding bad enough to leave a long obvious trail he would not have lived through the day.
2) the main focus was the house to house to make sure that he hadn't taken any hostages or created a death trap environment somewhere. An injured weak man in a boat was not as much of a threat, even if he had an suicide vest on.
3) They also contained him to Boston early on by stopping all transit exits.
Their goal may have been to get the guy, but first off was to avoid civilian casualties, and proceed in a methodical approach, eliminating chances for a bad ending.
Again, a weak, even suicidal man in a boat is a far less dangerous situation than a wounded man with just a gun in a household with 3 or 4 hostages.
I am sure they will do an after action review, and maybe decide that the search grid was to small originally, but I doubt there was a bloody trail that led right to where he was hiding. Dogs would have found that quickly and easily.
Lotus 04-20-2013, 04:05 PM I am sorry, let me get this straight ... It has been less than seven days since explosions caused death and injury at a popular open air sporting event that attracts people from all over the world and, in that time:
- The explosive devices causing the event were identified in detail;
- Two relatively faceless individuals were correctly identified (again, in detail) out of the thousands in attendance at the marathon and in a city with a population of ~4.5 million in its metropolitan area;
- The two individuals were located amongst those millions of people in an area of ~90 square miles;
- The two individuals were apprehended or killed while clearly armed to the teeth with various weapons capable of inflicting indiscriminate death and destruction; and
- All of this was accomplished with not a single scratch to any civilian and with only one additional death to law enforcement personnel.
... and we are not holding folks to a "high enough standard"?
:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
Well said. I would add that it took only about 48 hrs. to nab the ricin letters guy. It was a week during which law enforcement looked very good.

Extremely well stated.

There are many people I wouldn't mind if a bus hit them. Donald Trump is one of them. Classless as hell.
Well said, you and Mattyk both!
NC_Skins 04-20-2013, 05:48 PM Why are we second guessing?? They got them, end of story.
I'm not second guessing them, but I am calling bullshit on them if they want to claim they knew where he was for 2 hours, yet waited till the guy walked out back and called 911 to move in.

Apparently we're not allowed to, we just have to appreciate the wonderful job they did. Sheeple amuse me.

Well, things happen in the heat of the moment, and things are often overlooked. I don't have that much issue with them overlooking the boat. I just don't liked to be told it's raining if you are pissing on me. Also, don't take credit for something this civilian did. I guess it would make them look bad (in their eyes) if they had hundreds and hundreds of LE agents, yet it was a simple guy smoking in his backyard that found him.
Alvin Walton 04-20-2013, 07:26 PM If that dudes wife had allowed him to smoke in the house the perp would have bled out in his boat and we would not have found this guy until flounder season started.

That is a little suspicious but who knows
NC_Skins 04-20-2013, 08:00 PM Reddit may not have solved the case, but at least they fed the guys who did.
Boston PD stops by and thanks them. Love their sense of humor with the "Murica" in the username.
