So I was watching some of the coverage of the Boston lockdown on CNN. Social media brought up the fact that two young kids from a different country could possibly be the, “suspects”. They were walking around the streets of Boston with suspicious looking backpacks on, just before the bombing happened. One suspect already died by a police shootout and the other suspect whose name is, Jahar, is still on the run.
Am I seeing all this correctly? Wait… time out —
Whether you agree with it or not, these two young kids are innocent until proven guilty, but of course, in this day and age it seems to be the other way around. So, a couple of kids walking around the streets of Boston — who could possibly have an Islamic/Muslim background — with backpacks on makes them immediately guilty? It seems that when something terrible happens, the blame is almost always on a foreign person. Someone who is not from the United States. The other suspect escaped and is out in hiding. I don’t want to speculate or jump to conclusions (and you shouldn’t, either) but just imagine how it would make us look like if these two didn’t turn out to be the bombers after all? What if they weren’t responsible? From the sounds of things, they don’t sound like they were responsible. They seemed like they were good kids according to their friends and family members.
Why would two kids would want to do something, big and risky as this? If they were really the bombers, why would they show themselves in public? When people commit bombings, they almost always stay on the down low. They wouldn’t show themselves publicly. Most bombs are usually planted when there is no one around. You have to be really smart committing a crime like this. I just can’t see two young kids doing something risky as this.
If they did turn out to be the bombers after all — if they were proven it — then they had to have some other help. Other intelligent criminals who knew a lot about bombs. You get the picture here? I’m not defending these two. Just being realistic.
If these two turned out innocent, once again, you have to look at how that would make us. After all the lockdowns. The police raids in every home and all the law enforcement work. All that stuff over nothing. The police killed an innocent kid over nothing. That would make us look bad more than the terrorists who did this. See what I’m saying?
On top of this, the news media covering the lockdown is shit. CNN, WNYT, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, etc. They’re all garbage. Stick microphones in peoples faces and harassing the suspects family. It’s crazy — ALL OF IT! Peoples homes in Boston are unfairly being invaded, not giving them much privacy — which is disrespectful, in my opinion. I was watching the coverage of the lockdown and I had to turn it off ’cause the news was making me sick.
Somebody obviously did the bombings but I don’t think it was these two. This is why I don’t watch the news anymore ’cause they’re simply shit. Garbage. The news media should take their microphones and cameras, stick ’em up their asses.

EDIT TO ADD: Corrected a few little mistakes, I’m sure there are more grammar mistakes, but I did my best to write this.

Kev, it doesn’t take a smart person to make an IED. I think their actions the past 24 hours are more than enough proof of their involvement.
Yeah, you do have to have some knowledge to make IED’s. I’ll imagine it takes a lot of wiring knowledge. You’ll also need batteries, special kind of detonators, and things like that. This kid may have had explosives and guns; they may have been resisting but that still doesn’t mean they were involved. Several photos and videos of these kids walking around with backpacks is not really proof. They’re gonna have to prove it in trial which is gonna be tough. They’re gonna need hard evidence that these two were involved, and that’s gonna be even tougher.
If the second suspect dies in the hospital ’cause of injuries, then we’re gonna have a major problem. I’m pretty sure law enforcement are gonna do their best to keep this kid alive, so they can get a lot of information from him and question him.
I’m not defending these kids, just trying to bring up a point that they are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, no matter what you think of it.
Kev
I think the media and law enforcement calling them “suspects” is wrong too, that is just messed up.
Kev
Google “make a pressure cooker bomb”. Even you could do it. Thankfully they got the second guy alive, so you’ll eat some words when the full picture develops.
It’s still possible he could end up dying of injuries though, if his injuries are serious — that is — or if he ends up committing suicide. If that happens, we’ll never get the full picture.
Kev
Also, like the Miranda rights say, he doesn’t have to talk if he doesn’t want to: “You have the right to remain silent”. Just something else to keep in mind.

Another thought to ponder here readers: the suspects were identified by a 27 year old man who lost his legs during the bombing. Don’t you think he might of identified the wrong people by mistake? Just a thought…
Kev
Dude, they weren’t identified BY him. He just happened to recognize them after the photos were released. I suggest you go through all the details properly and reconstruct your thoughts on this, because they are all totally out of order and incorrect.
Dude, as you suggested, I decided to go through the details properly and did exactly that. It appears that you’re the one who are not getting your facts straight, bro.
Jeff Bauman, saw the guy drop the backpack and the bag exploded. It wasn’t because of the photos that went viral. On top of that, Jeff wouldn’t be able to see the photos, when he’s standing in the streets and he gets his legs blown off — suffering after. Like I said, he could have been mistaken with the identity.

Kev
Yes, he said he saw the person, but they did NOT use his eyewitness account to ID the suspects. I recommend not using the NY Post as a research tool, by the way. That “news”paper is barely one step above the Enquirer in terms of journalistic integrity.
Dude, that NY Post story is pretty much the same thing as most of the news media are reporting about. It’s all over. Bauman saw the guy with his own eyes, not by the photos that went viral. You think this poor guy would have the time to see the photos of the suspects while he’s suffering on a gurney surrounded by paramedics and law enforcement? In that kind of condition he’s in? Get real.
Kev
I love how some people just want to start arguments, and they never want to admit they’re wrong on some things. Even when the facts are right there in front of you, they will always try to find their own way of winning a debate, all the time. People like that, shouldn’t even be allowed to debate. I talk about my thoughts in current events, politics, world news etc., and when someone disagrees with my thoughts, it’s almost always back and forth arguing that gets no where. People are like this in facebook too. I think what it is, that the other person wants to look like he/she is smarter than you and he/she is trying to make you look bad in front of everyone. Don’t let the ego of the person you’re debating with bring you down ’cause that’s never happening with me. So keep trying. Comments closed ’caused I’ve said all the things that needed to be said about the Boston lockdown. They were just my honest thoughts. Relax. No need to fight with me about it.
I posted a similar topic like this in facebook yesterday, and a few people agreed with me on everything so…
