Actually that was the time they said the most people would be around. They didn't plan the getaway very good.

The main pack was long long gone. There were only a few runners left.
It was at 4 hours 9 minutes of the Marathon that the bombs went off (I think).

Who knows if they even wanted to get away? Dying for the cause always seems to be a part of terrorist motives...

Yes, but the bombs were placed at areas where there were lots of spectators lingering...

Everything about it seems to have a trace of juvenility. I just hope that its not the precursor to something worse

That's what weird they planned out this big bomb laid out a plan, practice the route to get timing down perfect, build the bombs then just forgot to plan an escape. It doesn't add up something else is up plus they have bombs strapped to them today something is very wrong with this set up.

It's just that I find their plan to be pretty weak and stupid. They hit the Marathon at the moment where most of the runners and public are gone. It just doesn't make sense when you think about it. Why not simply drop their bags in Harvard's cafeteria at lunch time?

And then they go out and rob convenience stores when their pictures are on TV for millions and millions of people to see.

It's... weird.

You're questioning why (frank)ed up people are making seemingly poor choices (for their cause)?

Relatively speaking, 3 dead is (fortunately) a pretty low number for 2 bombs.

Their plan was very weak imho.

I remember being stated that the was right around the time most runners we're coming in sort of the mean time. So lots of family would still be around.

I think the way they're acting is pretty consistent with terrorist activity...

It seems I'm trying to find logic or a rational explanation for something completely devoid of logic or rationality.

They had No intentions of escaping....They killed a cop at the university..There some talk they where there attempting to deliver another bomb...This simply a killing spree...

I know we're all thankful for that...But look at attention this is bringing to their cause and how much more it will grow as the details of their motives come to light...2 men created world-wide attention to some cause we'll all know pretty soon...It seems pretty successful to me...

Good God...

They where tossing bombs at the police during the shootout on the street...The older brother tossed a smoke bomb at the police and than opened fire while charging them...

The police gunned him down,the younger brother jumped in a vehicle ran over his brothers body and rammed through the police barricade...

Crazy FK'rs had no plan they just trying to kill..
