http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2013/04/17/source-arrest-made-in-boston-bombing/ CNN has since backed off this claim. http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/17/us/boston-blasts/index.html

This is pre-arrest, but it's something.

"
Investigators are preparing to arrest a suspect in relation to Monday's Boston marathon bombings, officials have told US media.
The breakthrough reportedly came from security video of a man dropping off a bag on the street near the race's finish line, before walking away."
well done OP
The media probably doesn't know for sure this early.
HAVE THE COMMON DECENCY TO POST A LINK OR SOMETHING!!!!!!
Edit: Thank You.
Just to get it posted first, but COME ON, you're being harsh.
The convicted person will be subjected to the same thing that they subjected people to. So, tie the individual to a lightpost and set off a pressure cooker bomb next to him/her. Too harsh?
My thoughts exactly. It's amazing how much less I can stomach in life now that instead of picturing myself enduring some sort of pain or tramua, I'm replaced by one of my sons in the mental pictures that come with these sorts of events. No one prepared me for that before I had kids. The worst thing that I can imagine in life is a life without them.
in the Middle Ages. Or better, before that whole Judaeo-Christian thing set in.
true solitary confinement is said to be a fate worse than death or really any traditional pain.
I'd prefer solitary over someone coming to torture me for a few hours each day.
Everyone eventually goes mad. People often kill themselves if they can.
But even in that case, not knowing when it would start again....
Look to the story of the hiker who was taken in Iran and accused of being a spy. He was only in solitary for a few months and he wrote about how he welcomed seeing the people who tortured him and missed it when it stopped. Humans are not meant to be alone, there is almost no fate that has a worse impact on a person
i posted a link. It got downvoted.
Or you have nothing to add. The board isn't a twitter feed. Heck, most of the time a tweet would have a link. If you're posting from the App you might just have to take the time and chance that you won't post it first. But you need more info than "news happened...somewhere."
Edit: OK, you edited it to put in the link...so why not do that in the first place rather than put it in some message 8 posts down?
Because people are childishly obsessed with being first to say something.
Just like the news channels.
This is my problem with the MGoBoard. It's laughable how many people feel the need to be the first to post a thread on the board and then we have multiple threads about the same topic. It always happens when a big time recruit commits. There is always that guy (or guys) who has to be the one to think, "I GOTTA POST THIS ON THE MGOBOARD NOW!"
"breaking the news". They have done a fine job.
Someone is going to tweet that a college player is leaving an hour before his press conference....
This and others in this series are part of the possible identification of a suspect:
https://www.google.com/search?q=man+running+away+from+boston+marathon+b…
EDIT: seems to be confusion on whether a suspect has just been identified or actually arrested. good news either way. 5pm press conference.
In all fairness, running away from an explosion is a reasonably natural reaction. Also, if it was one guy, the bomber would have been able to detonate the two different bombs in a manner that would have allowed him to casually walk away and not be in harms way.
Things that are being pointed out by experts/reporters on cnn/news sources. They also have department store survellaince and news footage that is aiding in identifying a POSSIBLE supsect (seen dropping the bomb, from what is being reported). CNN is backtracking and saying they have identified a suspect on film, or rather identified an indivual, but have not confirmed who that person is at this point. Again, 5PM PRESS CONFERENCE, stay tuned.
Again, I agree it's hard to assume anything from that photo. It was just an unusual reaction from that one individual the moment it went off and everyone else is going down, holding their ears.
the picture is interesting
Yeah, it took me a while to get to it but geez some people are pissy today. not you M-Wolverine
I feel like you're very bored today. You have back-back comments in more than one thread. Actually I believe you even have back-back-back comments in one thread. You can just put all of your thoughts into one comment.
And I appreciate when there is REAL breaking news (like this...not OSU's athletic director farted at a news conference today) when it gets put up here, because sometimes if you're reading thorugh it you don't get the outside news. I learned to get out of here and go check some news about the original bombing, having just gotten out of a meeting and clicking in to see if there was any Michigan news.
Just give us something that makes it post worthy too. Better late than never. (Though the other guy's comment is right....if you practice the edit function when you're not on a mobile you'll get a lot less grief over it, because it won't be posts that should be in the OP, and multiple short thoughts one after the other. It's good advice. And if you've been replied and can't edit it, it's a good excuse for the new post then).
But if the fart made by Gene Smith doesn't stink, that could be news worthy.
I wish they had statistics in news/media so you could keep track of who broke what story first and if their information ended up being accurate, incomplete, etc. You could come up with a reliability index for major outlets. I just see too much garbage to get clicks and be the first to break. Being realistic, even if something like this was created I don't think any major news organization would accept it because most of them are doing just fine without any oversight or ethics.
AP says the suspect is expected in federal court soon. Link
Honestly, I dont want him/her arrested, just done away with so tax dollars are not spent defending him/her/it in court.
Next, find his/her friends that were involved and annihlate them as well.
Please dont put thier freaking parents on TV to tell us how good they are and that they are just misunderstood.
We like to say that this is a great country with a great system. A very big part of our system is that we (generally) have trials and such before we punish people for crimes.
Agreed. A court system is an absolute necessity, and one of the (relatively) few things on which government spending our money is completely justified.
Lord & Taylor must have the most bomb-ass security cameras.
Bomb jokes? Way over the line. Did you not see the carnage of the innocent? Enjoy Bolivia.
They need to create a reality TV series about competitive journalism.
the death penalty also costs a lot more money than life in prison.
