**NSFW** Two explosions at the Boston Marathon **NSFW**

Father seems none too bright:

The father of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tells ABC News that he will appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully."
But the father also promised that "all hell will break loose" if Tsarnaev is killed by police.
The father also said he talked to his sons earlier this week and that they talked about the bombing:
"We talked about the bombing. I was worried about them," Anzor Tsarnaev said.
He said his sons reassured him, saying, "Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good."
It's not clear whether this conversation took place before the bombings or after.
The father also said his sons are innocent:
The elder Tsarnaev insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully"
"Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia," the dad said.
Earlier, the father spoke to the Associated Press by telephone from Russia. In that conversation, he described his younger son as "a true angel."

However, the uncle:

Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, told a local television station that the suspects "do not deserve to live on this earth."
Tsarni told WBZ-TV in Boston (in an interview that was just aired Friday by CNN) that the two suspects — Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev — do not deserve to live, and he apologized to their victims.
“He deserved his. He absolutely deserved his,” Tsarni said of Tamerlan, who was killed early Friday morning. “They do not deserve to live on this earth.”
He added: "If he did this, I'm sorry, too."

Looks like that Twitter account is fake... Shocking, I know.

This acct?
https://twitter.com/Dzhokhar_

Edited to add: a bunch of tweets seem to have been removed. Deleted? Made private? I admit I don't know much about the workings of Twitter. I just know that when I looked at that acct a little while ago, there were more than the 3 tweets currently showing. *shrug*

Yeah, they changed the name of a different pre-existing account. I would guess that the vast majority of tweets and facebook posts attributed to this guy are fake. Look at what Anon did to Westboro Baptist's facebook page...

"Steve Carell is not sure how he got into this situation"

[Shellback]

My brother in law lives in Watertown. He says they're on lock down, there's police and military everywhere, but they're OK. They have supplies for making Bloody Mary's and snacks so they should make it.

Not sure if he knows this guy, he sent me the address, but he's got good on the ground photos on his Twitter thingie. https://twitter.com/AKitz

Appears they were of Chechnyan heritage. Anyone remember Beslan?

Sulejman Talović, the Muslim shooter in the Trolley Square tragedy, was from Bosnia.

I have very little knowledge of the people or culture but is there some kind of parallel that can be drawn here?

Just some color on Tamerlan, take it with a pinch of salt, but apparently, this guy was one of his training partners at the boxing gym:

So... is his rifle not loaded, or did he take the extra precaution of closing the dust cover after he charged it?
