My first ever post on reddit. I hope I did this right. Ignorant people compelling me to diagram geographical locations to hopefully stop people from spreading malicious rumors about the Boston Bomber suspects being from the Czech Republic. smh. EDIT: (duh) http://imgur.com/a/cdoWe

The chest wound looks as if they tried to intervene to save his life. In addition to the leads on his chest to monitor vital signs and IV's that were inserted, you can see betadine (that yellowish color) around the wound. Betadine is an anti-bacterial solution used in the OR and trauma situations. I imagine he had a chest injury (such as a pierced heart or artery from a bullet) and they were trying to stop that. I'm sure they'd want him alive for investigation purposes. Being in the medical field I just wanted to shed some light on that gaping wound.

I don't know if it's a mod or admin move here, but for a number of reasons I think the subreddit should still be around. Surely I'm not the only one.

EDIT: You can relive the fun if you unclick "use subreddit style."

Every other event has some witness accounts and/or pictures but there is nothing on the individual who was carjacked. Anyone have any links that I have missed? Thanks

Holy crap... after lurking on reddit for years it took this to spur me into posting. My eyes are burning, my brain is spinning, and yet I still can't stop refreshing reddit to find something new. So, I feel the need to vent. :sigh:

I want... need... to see the video of Jahar (because I can't spell his first name) dropping the bag at the second bomb site. I need to see the video of him walking casually away after the explosion. I need to see the video of them and their encounter with Officer Collier. I need to see a live interview with the carjack victim. I need to see a live interview with the naked guy they released. I need to see an interview with the old man (or his family if he did die) who had the deadman's switch in his hand.

Not because I necessarily think either of the Tsarnaev brothers are innocent. But because the fact that it/they were all there/cited... and then just poof never produced or mentioned again... it makes me really uncomfortable.

We'll also never see the dash cam videos of the Watertown shoot out or the rest of the helicopter footage of Jahar's capture.

This sounds very silly, but I've been reading the reports and the sequence of events seem to be as follows:

1. Lockdown ends

2. Boston man wanders outside, sees blood near his boat

3. Lifts the tarp and spots the injured suspect

4. Retreats to the house and calls the authorities

5. Authorities have a firefight with the suspect for an hour before capturing him

Since the suspect was armed, why didn't he stop the man from alerting the authorities? And if he was too weak to stop him, why did the firefight go on for an hour? It's just something that seems confusing to me.
