There are apparently grenades and explosions going of in watertwon,m ass. A white male in pajamas is one of the two suspects.

A dirty little secret of the parts of Cambridge near MIT is that is where a large number of the city's housing projects are located---still rather grouped together in that 1960s style that magnified the violence of the black ghetto later on (Cabrini-Green, anyone?). Most modern project planners work to spread the ghetto around and separate them---prevents large gangs and riots from happening.

Harvard's end of Cambridge, meanwhile, has none, and a lot of nice housing for professors. MIT got the shaft there. But maybe the ghetto was designed back in the Cold War to keep Russian spies from wandering around MIT's military research facilities at night.

More seriously, an MIT cop getting shot so close to the Marathon is suspicious, but more likely one of Obama's sons got hot at his local housing project and went looking for trouble.

The interwebs is speculating that this guy might be suspect #2.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/25/sunil-tripathi-missing-brown-university_n_2947997.html

They say he has some chemistry background and went missing a few days after a number of homemade bombs were found near Brown University. He's family lives in MA. It's not confirmed that he's a suspect in the homemade bombs, but there's a lot of coinkodoinks.

He took a leave of absence from Brown due to severe depression, bombs were found near Brown just days before he disappeared, FBI is searching for him as a missing person (do the FBI get involved in adult missing persons when no foul play is apparent?), nose and body resemblance, etc.

I don't know much more about this than you do since I left there in 1967, but as long as we Californians are guessing, I'll guess neighborhood sleaze.

Crossed my mind too. And one reason it did is that suspect #2 looks kind of like Aaron Swartz.

Until they shut it down. you could listen to the Boston police scanner tonight. They were looking for a dark and a light skinned middle eastern suspects. They carjacked a black mercedes and had the driver drive them for about 30 minutes until they escaped. Then they gassed the vehicle and fled. Short;y after the police pursued. I believe they shut down the scanner shortly after the suspects threw grenades at the pursuing police care. Again all of this was clearly explained and discussed over Boston police scanners.

The way this has all gone down is just funny.

At first you had CNN (correctly) reporting a Boston police department BOLO that the suspect was 'darker-skinned'

The FBI then release blurry images in which one of the suspects is 'darker- skinned,' and the other look like a white male.


Then Dave Green's high res photo of the white hat suspect surfaces, in which the white hat suspect does not look white at all!

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/thelede/posts/suspect-number-2.JPG

And at every step of the way, liberals and conservatives have gloated that the suspects look like their political enemies.

Who knows what will happen next...

whoresoftheinternet has the geography right, but usually the ghetto-dwellers make trouble in residential neighborhoods, not near MIT where there are campus cops around. The exceptions are often the... er... less diverse ghetto-dwellers. The striking thing (to me) about the Boston ares that there are predominantly white areas that are just as shitty as the black ghettos. Gone Baby Gone really nailed them. Of course, it's like Anna Karenina: the shitty white areas have a different feel than the shitty black areas, but they are just as shitty.

And that isn't even mentioning all the market craziness of the past week and the preview of what the TPTB have in mind for all of us provided by the Cyprus situation.

One thing I'll always remember from 1989 is that when the wheels start coming off, it happens faster than anyone would ever have expected.

That isn't to say it is happening now, but things definitely do seem to becoming more unstable.

No they aren't. Given the choice of being plopped down defenselessly, or your daughter being plopped down defensively, in the shittiest black area of the world or the shittiest white area of the world at, say, 2 am in the morning, holding bags with dollar signs on them like in the cartoons, 90% (or more) of the people in the world, of any race, will choose the shitty white area.

Yours was a typical egalitarian marxist comment seeking benediction from the gods of PC.

Similar nose.

Regarding marathon bombing suspect number 2, the guy with the big nose who wore his white cap backwards....the only reason I can think of that he would have worn his hat that way, exposing his recognizable profile, is narcissism, the Clebold-Harris kind. After all, each had to know about the cameras. Of course, it's weird that his buddy was well covered. If it was important to me to escape capture after committing a crime, I'd not allow my accomplice to allow himself to be so facially visible to the cameras.

I guess another reason the white hat guy might have not cared is that he was convinced he was leaving the country before any visual of himself would be known by the authorities.

The stupid phase of this news story has lasted longer than I expected but we're definitely still in it. Freetard activists? Sorry, that's about as believable as the income tax protester of lore. Thanks to the global village everything happening everywhere is being used for narrative grist, even a routine fertilizer disaster.

Could the suspect be a Brown University student on deferment? Very interesting.

I'm writing from within yards of where the shootout in Watertown happened. I was just getting to sleep when I heard hundreds of rounds fired in bursts, single shot, staccato, at least three different calibres from the sounds and also what sounded like grenades or IEDs (maybe pipebombs). I will say that Watertown is home to many Muslim immigrants, most of whom are great neighbors and fine people. But I've heard teenage punks sound off late at night in trhe local 24 hour store about Jihad, I suspect mostly to epater le kafir. BUt I'm now leaning to the conclusion that a couple of these punks may have become over-intoxicated by their own rhetoric and caused all the havoc of the past five days. I agree with other posters that the MSM and feds have done everything in their power to pin this on a couple of white, right-wing loons yet to be found (white Islamics, white Hispanics, WTF). But to my eye the suspects' pictures look a lot like many of my muslim neighbors from various parts of the Balkans, Levant, and Middle East. Color me prescient if I'm right. Call me a hateful right-wing, racist loon if I'm wrong.

Keep your head down until they round up the other suspect or suspects.

Sorry, you can't blame the Jews for this one. First of all, Aaron Swartz has no motive to blow up the Boston Marathon. Second, this isn't his MO--he's a hacker, not a bomber. Third, he has a great alibi--he's dead.

Sorry, Ex Sub, whoresoftheinternet is correct. Maybe it's just a Boston thing, but I feel no safer in Southie than I do in The 'Bury.

The tech and nightlife scene around Kendall and Central Squares has pushed the trash back a little, but it's still a dicey area.

One thing I'll always remember from 1989 is that when the wheels start coming off, it happens faster than anyone would ever have expected.

I've been saying this for years. That when and if things do break, events will subsequently move far more quickly than most people expect. Everyone's going to be very surprised at how rapidly things go down, and attitudes change.

When things are forced into the background/underground, it's really hard to track them. They build up pressure for a long time, and when they finally break out into the open, they do so with a suddenness that surprises people who weren't paying attention to all the pressure building up. The dam would always hold. Bob and Sue would always be together. The USSR would always creak along. American-Americans will always be the glue that holds the center.

Hahaha, just saw the photo of one of them at Drudge. Man does he ever look Jewish. I guess I sorta got half of the wish I expressed to Sirota.

I wonder how long his mug will be plastered on the TV. Will they keep it up forever, like they would if he looked like McVeigh? Or will they retire it ASAP? Or will they split the difference, and hunt up a photo where he doesn't look anything like his spitting image of a record producer self?
