You're starting to ask the right questions.

Yeah, according to reports it was detonated via remote control. A fuse / timer build bomb can be made by almost anyone. One detonated with the remote would require a bit more knowledge.

Which even the timer / fuse bombs require exercising extreme caution. Any gunpowder caught in the rivets (pipe bomb) or even between the lid / pressure cooker itself could potentially set it off. So if nothing else, building the bomb required quite a bit of caution / planning.

Past the bombs they really did nothing else. No disguise, sloppy attempt at a 2nd attack, etc. Yet somehow they pull off the Marathon bombing to perfection.

also, the other devices they had, the grenades and 3rd cooker bomb were all rather pathetic compared to the first 2, either failing to detonate or doing no damage.

and none of the other devices used timers. also a bit suspicious...

I really don't think it'd take much more than a cursory Googling to figure out how to make a remotely triggered bomb. All you'd need is a cell phone. Just attach your detonator to whatever line/wire provides current to, say, the speaker (or the, uh, vibrator -- there's got to be a better word for that) and call the phone.

People aren't considering the possibility that they just didn't care. That's a level you reach when killing innocent children means absolutely nothing to you.

Great Observation. Most of the video and pictures you see they look clueless or out of place. To me they don't look nervous they look like they are following directions maybe, But you are right. Im sure the younger brother was more mainstream and maybe watched some crime movies or learnt something to hide himself, anyone in there right mind would try to disguise themselves change hair color shave, etc, the just look way to out of place.. Edit:Like they were setup.

it could just be they were expecting to be caught and go out with a bang, but immediately the fact they were just chilling for a couple of days makes that argument look moot.

Exactly, they should have known for days how the police were asking for pictures from the public so they could be used as evidence. Obviously someone would have captured them at some point so why stay in their house? I'm not even sure where the first suspect was killed, but we all knew they were wanted before the police arrived...why just stay and wait?

One of the things that really struck me was that when thy searched the home they found plates of unfinished food on the table and the general scene suggested they got up and left really abruptly and without prior warning.

It's a really small detail but it feels important. Almost as if they had absolutely NO inkling that they were going to have to leave and that something prompted them to make the decision to leave with a great deal of urgency.

yes, that is correct, because they believed they could hide in plain sight. They figured a huge crowd, thousands of people with bags, no one is going to suspect a couple of white guys. They weighed that vs doing things to change appearance which might tip off people in their regular lives, like if they dyed their hair blond or shaved it off.

They thought that the gov't and media would look for a brown skinned person and they could just disappear. Once the news report hit with their pictures, they took off right away figuring the police would come to their home first.

or, they could have believed that such a large scale event, that they would blend in, 2 white guys walking around shouldn't bring suspicion. They believed that after the bombing they could simply go back to their lives and no one would notice that one second they had a backpack and a second later during the chaos they didn't.

That would explain why they had no escape plan, and how they acted so erratic once their pictures were put on the news.

I see what you're saying but if they "just didn't care" wouldn't they have killed the guys whose car they hijacked? I know MSM accounts are saying that he escaped but I can't help but think, if they just didn't give a shit about human life wouldn't they have killed him after they got his ATM card and PIN? Why bother keeping him alive? Continuing on that, why actually not rob the 7/11 to get some real cash for a getaway?

I think they were not prepared to have to run. They thought they could hide in plain sight, after that they figured they are on the news everyone will know about them anyway to its time to run and panic.

It was a mistake to kill the cop that didn't yet ID them and not to kill the carjacker and not to tell him a full confession, but not all criminals are masterminds that make no mistakes, even LEx Luthor fucks up.

I really hope this gains traction.

This is the one time where I really have no clue what the truth is. There's just enough evidence to support almost any theory.I'm pretty sure these kids did this but with who's help? Their sloppiness suggest they most definitely had someone adding them.I don't think they had help from our government but it certainly seems that our government at least expected some sort of attack. I'm fairly certain the "bomb drill" was just an excuse to have all the extra security/medical teams to easily contain the expected attack. (I feel if the FBI knew of an attack but did nothing, they're just as guilty as the bombers) any thoughts on why the FBI/CIA would be involved? Possibly just a distraction?

I'm sure you've heard of the reports of the many cases that the FBI thwarted an attack and they admitted that they were pretty much in on it the whole time and provided everything for the would be terrorists but at the last moment they stop them and arrest them. Yea that same thing happened now but they allowed it to happen.

what has been mind fucking me about the whole thing is, if they wanted to kill a bunch of people at a marathon why did wait till the 4 hour mark?

A lot of people cross the finish line around then. Yeah, you could set the bombs off when the best of the best start to finish, but if I were doing it I'd wait for the average runners to start coming by in huge packs.

i would hardly call that "huge packs"

i don't think the runners were the target. the crowd had definitely thinned by the time the bombs went off. compared to bombings in the rest of the world that day the sheer lack of dead and injured should demonstrate the poor timing and placement of the bombs.

but then if i was going to target a sporting event for "jihad" it would not be something with a thin line of spectators. if i wanted to justify more homeland security on the other hand...

Baaaaaa-zinga, upvote, for sure.

Some possibilities: 1) They are the dumbest, most short-sighted people in existence and forgot to plan ahead or just assumed no one would know they did it. 2) It was like a suicide mission. They knew they wanted to kill people and figured they would get caught or die afterwards. So, no need for an exit strategy. 3) They were set up somehow and never thought they would need any planning because someone else was supposed to be doing the planning for them.

They do seem pretty dumb. Someone put together a list of mistakes they made.

Dzhokhar, when pronounced by many in the media, sounds like, Jokar.....or Joker. Obviously the joker was the culprit and the case is closed.

You ever notice that the media keeps calling it the "twin bombings"? You have to read between the lines.
