MIT shooting

This aunt has mad NLP skills. She's a lawyer!

"I wish you were lawyer, because when I listen and speak, I say only what i Know!" CNN turns camera away immediately after this.

This aunt is AWESOME.

Gotta wonder if he went to Watertown to connect up with someone.

OK...Aunt explains family was exiled to Kyrgyzstan in 1944...family had no allegiance to Chechnya...they never lived in Chechnya...younger brother grew up here and seemed well acclimated.

Older brother became Muslim 4 or 5 years ago. Aunt shocked and in disbelief.

It sounds like the older brother was "radicalized"...third suspect in custody might be "handler/coach/recruiter"..

the younger brother seemed acclimated and social...had been here since boyhood...must have been recruited by older brother?

[Royal]

If he's not alive so the people can know, this is a bullshit case.

Friends and family didn't seem to suspect anything.

Could be some mafia hit gone wrong rather than a terror act.

Got more on that? Mafia angle

The news organizations keep pushing "Chechnya" despite what family and the reports of their historical background. Is the family lying to protect a family business or is there an gov agenda at work?

[Pigeon]

There was a post at ATS that had data that tied some family member of friend's business interest to there.

Don't forget that family can lie to save face, etc.

The older suspect seemed to have posted references that seemed radical - also the Family Guy bombing video. Might have been a subtle clue to his thinking.

WBZ radio Boston just reported seeing a tank with a soldier manning the machine gun on top.

If there's truth to that... something larger is happening in the US.

Did the reporter know what s/he was seeing? Maybe swat and not an actual military tank.
