"Video" is mostly a cluster of little lights in the distant darkness with a soundtrack that sounds like the final scene from Bonnie and Clyde -- AFTER a fifteen-second commercial advertisement. Ain't this a great country?

Thankfully, a little comic relief...

You guys should have been awake when the anchorina on the CBS affiliate said the bombers were strewing "IUDs" throughout Watertown.

For crying out loud. This is over-the-top.

NPR says nervous police have told people approaching checkpoints "Put down your cell phone, or we'll shoot"--in Boston!!

He's part of a group called "People In Support of Chechen Republic."

THIS ONE IS TOTALLY IMPORTANT TO READ. ►Russia has had far more Chechnya-related terrorism than the US. Been happening for years.

What we know of Tsarnaev story so far could be told as one of dislocation, displacement, statelessness rather than evil FROM somewhere
— Richard Kim (@RichardKimNYC) April 19, 2013

@richardkimnyc Excellent point. The displaced population is now likely bigger than any single nationality. Good research topic, somebody.
