I wonder if one of the bomber suspects goes to MIT, was located, and is trying not to go down without a fight.

Why on Earth would someone smart enough to pull the bombing off as is be chilling at their school 4 days later?

Sorry. Maybe Ive seen too many marathon pictures lately but this wasn't anything more than you'd see on a Law & Order episode.

While true, it's also been a rather tense time. I mean, Petey works on the MIT campus nearby. But that's not the sort of thing one learns overnight, so I can't fault you for it.

It's about that time I link the excellent Cambridge Police Twitter feed. They've been great this past week.

E: Scroll down and check out the number of 'suspicious package' and bomb reports from the last few days. They've been busy

Hubris?

I doubt seriously it has anything to do with the bombs.

The current BPD scanner chat is amazing.

Campus police(?) or some other unit refusing to give the officer the picture of the suspect.

A crazy old shouting cabbie yelled this at me as he drove by. So, no, that's probably not what happened.

I'm not even upset anymore. Just...tired.
yeah. That's how I just feel now. It's odd I've always had a bit of detachment from these sort of things. Don't get me wrong I felt for the people and all that, I don't go around making edgy jokes, but it was just not affecting me. This week though. With the marathon, the factory, the floods in Chicago (I'm local there so I had to deal with it) and now this. I just feel emotionally and physically exhausted.

I think it's just everyone on edge after the week preceding and not taking any suspicious activity for granted. Even if this is a relatively mundane act of violence, it sure as hell won't be treated like one after Monday.

Christ that's terrible. I was a MIT student for years and dealt with the campus police quite a lot and they were generally a bunch of amazingly tolerant guys.

I'm guessing they're not taking any chances with the bombing suspects still on the loose. Besides, 'shooter on college campus' sometimes means a spree shooting in which case they'd probably be assisting with the investigation.

You've got to be in some serious trouble to think about downing a cop.

It's not like he just pulled out a random gun, he apparently stole the cop's gun (which imo is really rare)
