fyi; the Watertown average apt. starts at $1500. a mo.

I was just talking to a friend in Lexington, MA. His son has an apartment in that area of Watertown. He was not at home at the time, but too close to home for my buddy.

We were wondering if these two were just two nuts, along the lines of nuts that shoot up a school, with a cause unknown? Robbing a 7/11? Seems to me you want to get caught? You want to go out with a huge bang taking as many as possible.

Sick to say the least...... no matter the motive

That's true - I didn't see any Native Americans in the pictures either.

Are you aware chechyns are connected to Al-Queda. Chechyns have been trying to break away from the Russian empire and many are Muslims by Religion. Were you around during 9/11 or do you remember 9/ll?

Apparently they needed cash. The buzz is that they probably were not funded by some huge organization........or else they would have had an escape plan and some funds.

However, we just heard that there "might" be an associate......who is surrounded by all those police cars.......no one knows for sure.
They've called for a Russian language translator. They are still searching homes in a certain neighborhood with the black hawk helicopters flying overhead. The press really isn't sure what is going on.

One individual was surrounded and is now with investigators. CNN just announced that fact.

The bomber's Uncle gave an impassioned plea for him to turn himself in.
He called him a "loser" and said that he and his own family loved the U.S.

The dead brother (bomber) was a student at one time at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston.........the younger brother went to some elite high school.......and worked as a lifeguard at Harvard.....just a job as a teenager. All of his friends never heard anything "political" from him.
Everyone is shocked.

Whatever their beliefs, they kept it hidden well.

The younger one's friends are saying he should turn himself in.
Guess he is twittering??? The friends say he was a typical American student in Boston????

The law enforcement and news reporters must be exhausted, not to mention all the residents displaced from their homes........this senseless act on Monday has created havoc in Boston.

Didn't the alleged marathon bombers uncle say they were not from Chechnya and "had never been there", were his exact words?

From what I heard, one of the "suspects" is 19 and the other was 26. They had been in the US for 10 years. I doubt if at the age of 9, the person was placed there to commit an act of terror. They were both legal residents along with their parents.

"Well we now KNOW these guys are "MUSLIMS" !!" ... and this means what? Do "we" now go out to destroy all Muslims because two guys may have been Muslim and killed people? What religion was Timothy McVeigh?

Watch ALL of what the uncle says in the video link here.....

Exactly, Buggyone. Exactly!

In the 60's, "radical American's" bombed alot of places. They were members of extremists groups, alot of them from Ivy League colleges. So, this act is nothing new... It definately IS NOT right, but as a high school student in Mass.in the 1960's I saw alot of this awful and criminal acts. Does anyone remember Kent State???!!! There were so many Anti-American activities going on then!! SDS, Black Panther's, Patty Hearst (of the famed Hearst newspaper's family)and the extremist group that she was involved with. etc, etc. So, it's not only people who came to our country from abroad that want to hurt people, very sad to say!!

Speculation is running amuck across all media outlets, why should it be any different on TOTV?

It's been reported that the reason the photos weren't released until 5:00pm is to give the President time to get out of town. Can you imagine the chaos that would have ensued if all this shooting in the streets had started when the President was in Boston?
