not if motivation turns out not to be political
fair enough, though, in terms of what PL was proposing, the motivations of a government in these conspiracies is almost tautologically political. Though, I suppose there are some that suggest the elite are just killing us off for fun...
also, I'm no expert, but I'm not sure a 6 liter pressure cooker would fit in that guy's backpack without some difficulty; the bag has also been described as a dufflebag rather than a backpack, but that might not be a huge distinction.

Thanks for sharing. That is a "good" find. I hate calling it that, though...
FBI releases photos of two suspects in Boston Marathon bombingThe FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack.
FBI agent Richard DesLauriers said the photos of the two men came from surveillance cameras near the explosion sites. One man is seen wearing a light-colored baseball cap, the other a dark cap. The man in the dark cap set down a backpack at the site of one of the blasts, DesLauriers said.
Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visitors.
[...]
The suspects are considered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said, and people who see them should not approach them.
“Do not take any action on your own,” he warned.
Generally, law enforcement agencies release photos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public’s help in identifying or capturing someone.
Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the element of surprise. It can also trigger an avalanche of tips, forcing police to waste valuable time chasing them down.
Ush: hopefully this is appropriate, I'm legitimately not trying to debate the conspiracy theory, but this also has a good deal of legitimate info, and could almost be seen as a "debunking myths" video
Boston shut down as one bombing suspect dead, one on the runBoston’s police commissioner says all of Boston must stay in their homes as the search for the surviving suspect in the marathon bombings continues.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis made the announcement Friday morning, after a long night of violence that left the other suspect dead. The two suspects in the Boston Marathon are alleged to have killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and thrown explosive devices at police during their getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left one of them dead and another still at large Friday, authorities said as the manhunt intensified for a young man described as a dangerous terrorist.
The suspects were identified to The Associated Press as coming from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.
A law enforcement intelligence bulletin obtained by the AP identified the surviving suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.
[...]
Three law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, confirmed the bomb suspects were brothers. One of the officials and the men’s uncle confirmed the identity of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., told The Associated Press that the men lived together near Boston and have been in the United States for about a decade. They travelled here together from the Russian region near Chechnya.
[...]
Authorities said surveillance tape recorded later Thursday showed the suspect known for the white hat during a robbery of a convenience store in Cambridge, near the campus of MIT, where a university police officer was killed while responding to a report of a disturbance, said State Police Col Timothy Alben. The officer died of multiple gunshot wounds.
From there, authorities say, two men carjacked a man in a Mercedes-Benz, keeping him with them in the car for half an hour before releasing him at a gas station in Cambridge. The man was not injured.
The search for the vehicle led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police. A transit police officer was seriously injured during the chase, authorities said.
[...]
State police spokesman David Procopio said, “The incident in Watertown did involve what we believe to be explosive devices possibly, potentially, being used against the police officers.”

TIMELINE OF THE EVENTS IN THE PAST 12 HOURS5 p.m The FBI releases photos of two men suspected in the Monday bombing of the Boston Marathon. They are described as “extremely armed and dangerous.”
10:20 p.m. An armed robbery involving two male suspects is reported at a 7/11 in Cambridge, Mass., near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An MIT campus police officer responding to the robbery is shot and killed in his police vehicle by the two suspects. The two suspects car-jack a black Mercedes SUV. Pursued by police vehicles, the suspects drive 10 kilometers to the neighbourhood of Watertown.
12:48 Radio traffic indicates that, during the pursuit, the suspects are tossing multiple explosive devices out the side of the vehicle. The car comes to a stop on a residential street in Watertown and the suspects engage in a shootout with police pursuers. One transit police officer is hit and critically injured. One of the suspects is hit multiple times and taken into custody. The second suspect attempts to flee at full speed in the SUV. After the vehicle is barraged with gunfire, the suspect escapes and reportedly flees on foot. Alerted to the sound of gunfire by a doctor that lives in Watertown, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre begins preparing for what they suspect may be another mass casualty situation. The hospital treated 24 victims of Monday’s marathon bombing.
1:10 The injured suspect is rushed to Beth Israel, where doctors report that he is suffering from “too many gunshots to count.”
1:35 The suspect is pronounced dead, after 15 minutes of failed attempts at resuscitation. He is believed to be the “black-hatted” suspect in Monday’s marathon bombing. Police cordon off a 20 block area of Watertown and order residents not to leave their homes as they conduct a “house to house, street to street search” for a “light skinned Caucasian male” dressed in a grey hoodie.

Holy shit. I have several family members in Watertown where all this stuff is going on. Apparently where they caught the one guy is literally right outside of my cousin's house, like directly out front. Crazy.
Yeah, my friends in Boston are in that area and they're all on lockdown now.
