Good job 'Murika. Keep cutting that education funding.

Sad because some idiot might go up there and bomb it like the idiot that shot up the Sikh temple in Wisconsin because they looked arab or sound close to being Chechans

CBS news sources say the 19 year-old has two gunshot wounds but one of them may have been self-inflicted, a suicide attempt.

Gun in the mouth, exit wound out the back of the neck but not fatal. Sort of like Cylon Boomer in season one of Battlestar Galactica.

He can't talk yet to investigators as a result.

You can't make stuff like this up; delicious proverbial icing on the justice cake. What a 'tard.

I kept going back and forth about whether I wanted him taken dead or alive. That's not a bad compromise.

A doctor involved in treating the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died in a gunbattle with police says he had injuries head to toe and all limbs intact when he arrived at the hospital.

Dr. David Schoenfeld said 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds when he arrived at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center early Friday that it isn't clear which ones killed him, and a medical examiner will have to determine the cause of death.

The older Tsarnaev's clothes had been cut off by emergency responders at the scene, so if he had been wearing a vest with explosives, he wasn't by the time he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said.

"From head to toe, every region of his body had injuries," he said. "His legs and arms were intact — he wasn't blown into a million pieces" — but he lost a pulse and was in cardiac arrest, meaning his heart and circulation had stopped, so CPR, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, was started.

Schoenfeld said he couldn't discuss specific treatments in the case except to say what is usually done in such circumstances, including putting a needle in the chest to relieve pressure that can damage blood vessels, and cutting open the chest and using rib-spreaders to let doctors drain blood in the sac around the heart that can put pressure on the heart and keep it from beating.

After 15 minutes of unsuccessful treatment, doctors pronounced him dead.

"We did everything we could" to try to save his life, Schoenfeld said.

Happy to hear it. Seemed like he died a very unpleasant death.

This story has 2 videos from CNN in it, in which the Waterton Police Chief recaps the ordeal in quite surprising detail. Sounds like the 2 had at least 6 or 7 bombs to use in the police chase/standoff.

Older brother was alive and being arrested when his younger brother charged the officers in a car and ran his brother over and dragged him a ways, effectively killing him. Classic, sounds like these guys are both a couple of goofs.

Some way, some how, Cowperson snuck in a Battlestar Galactic reference.

But as amateur online sleuths began identifying possible culprits, caught in the virtual manhunt were people who were wrongly accused or placed under suspicion by crowdsourcing. It showed the damage that digital investigators can cause and raised a relevant question: In the social-media generation, what does law enforcement unleash when, by implication, it deputizes the public for help?

"The FBI kind of opened the door," said Hanson R. Hosein, director of the University of Washington Master of Communication in Digital Media program. "It was almost like it was put up as challenge to them, and they rose to it. ... They can be either really helpful or mob rule."

The bombings have been the highest-profile case in which the public has joined an active investigation, using ever-evolving crowd-sourcing tools, showing the pitfalls and benefits of new technology. It's certainly not vigilantism, but it's not standard policing, either. It's something in the middle, perhaps something new - the law-enforcement equivalent of citizen journalism.

Cowperson: you might be interested in Existence by Brin, a SF book that deals with the investigation of a terrorist attack by crowd sourcing.

Tsarnaev is recovering at a hospital his jihad muslim brothers might not like too much. "Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center"

lolz I bet they intentionally picked that

[Minnie]

Or it was closest or a top trauma center. It's the same hospital his brother was taken to. I doubt they gave a lot of thought to the name - or cared.

Haha, wouldn't it be great if they charged him with his brother's murder and made him stand trial for that first, before the bombing charges? Like just put him up there and grilled him, day after day, mentioning all the details over and over, then sentencing him. Then once he went through all that "Okay, now on to the murders you commited that actually matter".
