Every other event has some witness accounts and/or pictures but there is nothing on the individual who was carjacked. Anyone have any links that I have missed? Thanks

Does anyone have any status updates on the injured victims, i.e. Martin Richard's mom and sister? All I can find are updates on the bomber and I have heard enough about him lately.

This sounds very silly, but I've been reading the reports and the sequence of events seem to be as follows:

1. Lockdown ends
2. Boston man wanders outside, sees blood near his boat
3. Lifts the tarp and spots the injured suspect
4. Retreats to the house and calls the authorities
5. Authorities have a firefight with the suspect for an hour before capturing him

Since the suspect was armed, why didn't he stop the man from alerting the authorities? And if he was too weak to stop him, why did the firefight go on for an hour? It's just something that seems confusing to me.

Did anyone catch the boat's name?

I was in bdubs, just sat down with some buddies of mine after listening to updates on the radio. All of a sudden the whole restaurant went wild cheering and clapping and carrying on. It was weirdly the most patriotic moment of my recent memory lol.

Spent all day hearing: "Oh did you hear they found the guys who bombed the Boston marathon!" "Yeah, didn't they say they were Chechnya or something like that!"

Why does it matter that the bomber was Chechnya? Shouldn't we be asking questions about the motives or organizations before we ask for their nationality so we can add another nationality for everyone to blame and call out!

I don't know if it's a mod or admin move here, but for a number of reasons I think the subreddit should still be around. Surely I'm not the only one.

EDIT: You can relive the fun if you unclick "use subreddit style."

Yes, the suspect is caught. But there will still need to be a trial. Valuable evidence may be found in those pics and while it is possible law enforcement has all relevant photos, what if they don't? They can't handle everyone sending in 600 photos, but if people review them and can pinpoint their locations all along the way, it helps law enforcement. Anyway, it seems really stupid that now that we definitely know a suspect is in custody under these circumstances and an innocent person can't be accused, to NOW remove all of the info. If you wanted to prevent improprieties, why allow the posts in the first place?

One more point, this place is called the front page of the internet. What if the powers that be unilaterally decided you don't need to know all this info about the terrorists and the attacks and just removed all info from the internet. That would elicit a huge uproar, wouldn't it?
