The bomber had an Amazon wish list:
//www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=1PNVMAW2D4CT1
Includes a bunch of ID forging books and "How to Win Friends & Influ?ence People", as well as "The Lone Wolf And the Bear: Three Centuries of Chechen Defiance of Russian Rule"

Found by a guy named Justin Hart on Slate. He also uncovered this quote about Tsarnaev not having a single American friend:

Which part of Syria do you think the guy on the left is from?

Ok dude you've pushed this far enough. To be extremely clear, I was answering someone who was ALREADY GUESSING WHAT RACE THESE GUYS WERE. I added my guess, if you have a problem with that, that's your issue.

Besides, I was noting the features of the fellow in the white hat. You'll notice we never got a profile of the fat one.

The video.

Ann, I take it that you don't hang out with young folks from the middle east much?

I'd peg these two as quite possibly Syrian in fact, but in any case, they appear to be olive skinned, and the features are absolutely consistent with middle eastern descent.

Still, hard as hell to really know much from grainy surveillance photos.

So I take it you *do* hang out with Syrians a lot? Otherwise, why make a personal comment like that?

Actually yeah. I do - have a lot of middle eastern friends, ranging from Libya to Syria, to Iran and the UAE. And these guys could be cousins or brothers with a few of them.

And that's not to imply that middle easterners are the only shitheads who do this, or anything of that nature, the guys just DO look to be of potential middle eastern descent, and a Syrian I know looks like this kid's older brother, olive complexion, same nose profile, and curly mid-length black hair. So, I promise, not just being a silly ignorant racist. :)

Pffft - Silly ignorant racist.

Yeah, I especially hate the English.

So Simms, do me a favor - pull your head out of your ass, and read the entire sequence here - I WAS NOT the first person to guess a race here - I was simply noting that they COULD as well be Syrians as they COULD be white.

23 Killed today..

It was in Baghdad though, just wondered why that didn't get its own thread?

Terrorism and killing aint real until its on your own doorstep I suppose. Those damn Iraqis are not real people anyway so it's not really news I guess.

It's a bit like 9/11 when all those New Yorkers who had for years popped their `dimes` and `nickels` into those NORAID tins on street corners & started crying and screaming over those nasty nasty cowardly terrorists - although they had been supporting the IRA for years.

Karma can be a bitch sometimes.

But makes great headlines!!

I really don't understand why people are obsessed/interested in anything to do with ...what kind of food did he like? what was his favorite color? what his ex girlfriend thinks about him? did his daddy slap him when he was little?

even his name is irrelevant ...no need to know more than D.T.

I understand that we need to find this guy...But things like the wish list on amazon strengthens the case against this guy and could give clues so that the cops can get in this guys mind and figure out where he is. If you wanna catch a criminal think like the criminal

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example.

She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.

The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force....

She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit....

One thing really doesn't make sense though - these guys were out to generally terrorize and kill - but yet, the car they stole, they didn't kill the occupants, but instead just took the car - why? That's just odd.

In any case, it's looking like it's a race between this guy who'd like to spray himself into a crowd, and the police who'd prefer to spray him across a room. Here's to hoping the cops actually manage to get this guy before he finishes up what he started a couple of days ago.
