There was an urgent call "Medic! Medic!" on the scanner right after he was taken into custody.

i can't understand half the things they are saying.

After awhile you've got to consider your options.

1. Kill yourself if you have the means
2. Sit there bleeding and hungry on the boat.
3. Give up.
4. Do something to get yourself killed.

In the end #3 gives you eventual food, rest, and a bit of peace vs. #1, #2, and #4.

I think #1 and #4 offer the most peace

Great that they got him. I wonder if he just gave himself up.

Which makes no sense because if he required a medic they would take him out in an ambulance. Unless he was not seriously injured.

[Stay Golden]

officers confirmed with a nod and a smile when asked is he alive

[Dion]

The subject is in custody

[StrykerSteve]

He went out in an ambulance. The Fox feed showed it leaving.

I think it will be a while before they get him out of there because of all the bomb stuff. They need to make sure he has no explosives of any kind on him before they move him anywhere.

Edit: or not according to the above.

Edit 2: over the scanner they are trying to clear streets now so that makes sense that they are extracting him.

Decoy.

Could be that people know they have taken him alive.

I doubt this will prevent them crying false flag. They adapt and reshape their theories to fit whatever has happened the best they can.

He's only 19. Probably poorly thought out the consequences of his actions or thought he had a chance of getting away with it. If he's been spending excessive time on Jihadi websites, he's probably thought of "martyring" himself too. Such a waste.

That was my first thought. #1 if you realize how badly you f-d up, #4 if you are committed.

Makes sense.

The owner of the property he's in reported bloody clothes. Suggests he was shot in a non-life thretening way during his initial escape. Then again, could have been his brother's blood.

I hope this guy likes waterboarding. They're about to go Guantanamo on his ass.
