It's a curfew

Here's a question. If you are the suspect, what would your plan of action be to escape capture?
Start a diversion. Put explosives on a timer, move away, and hope to break the cordon in the confusion. Very unlikely you'll get away at this point though, and even if you do, where are you going to go?

I thought "young muslim" was exactly the profile?

Someone even said it early on, odds would be it would be a 20-something muslim or a 40ish far righty, as that tends to be the profile for terror bombers for us.
Who are the 40 something rightwingers you are referring to?

Most app diecription would simplt be 20 something and crazy with a bit of overlap and underlap into higher and lower age brackets.

Mostly though its just 20 somethings that commit almost all but not all the violence in society in general.

Suspects are both Russian, near Chechnya, and have been in the US for at least one year. AP via local news.

Fucking Putin.
I doubt they are Russians if they're from Chechnya. Those guys have been rebelling against the Russians for about 200 years now.

*edit* OK near Chechnya, not from Chechnya. Not sure what they'd be bombing the US for.

So the suspects are russian and brothers. Did anyone predict that?
Palin saw them preparing the pressure cookers from her house.

Dunno if the earlier names were wrong or aliases.

If whitehat knows his brother is dead, does it up the odds he plans to go out fighting?

Shits and giggles is my bet.

As far as "political" statements go abortion clinic bombings are fairly obvious. Bombing a state government building is fairly obvious. When you bomb the crowd watching a marathon what exactly are you trying to say besides for "Look what I can do"?

Fuck it, it I was whitehat with no prospect of escape or evade from capture, surrounded and brother killed; what's the point of surrending peacefully?

I would take down as many as people/police officers as I can before going down in a hail of bullets
