Boston Marathon Bombing: BEAHCAT & BRUINS, 'MURICA

[jmc]

I know US Marshals are for protecting judges, so... ? I'm not hearing anything about a threat on the scanner, but I do know they were pushing back reporters from the court house

2 separate threats, with times for detonation (and both times have already passed)

[isladar]

Dear god they keep saying "park" and "Park St." and "parking lot", they're trying to troll me

[rezn0r]

what a clusterfuck it is around here today.

jmc keep the info coming whenever you can please. a quincy guy here.

[Callisto]

I have to assume that when they have a guy in custody they'll be sending in Mark Wahlberg to handle him

Spoiler: show

[Waraji]

to frame Wahlberg maybe? Then we'll go on a manhunt through Mass. for Wahlberg, which will end up at a remote cabin owned by none other than, Dick "Shoot You In The Fuckin Face" Chaney, together with actor celebrity Danny "Haven't made a good movie since Lethal Weapon 2" Glover.

Keep it coming jmc!

Welcome to Sathland, we don't need no r's.

Well, back to the suspicious package calls I guess.

Gas can w/wires sticking out of it reported at local hospital...... court house the media is at currently being evacuated, multiple bomb threats made.

lol, over the past 6 months I can't even tell you how many suspicious packages we've responded to that were suitcases with wires sticking out, or a pink book bag with wires sticking out, or a garbage bag with wires sticking out. The town I work is pretty much Israel now so we have reports of shit almost every day and it's just exhausting, I'm sure eventually it'll be something though.

loooooool @ the Windows start-up chime in the background of one of the dudes on the scanner

We're entirely paperless now too and everything using Windows XP or Vista for the most part. The toughbooks are so slow and shitty too, wish we'd go back to paper especially considering "paperless" doesn't mean we're actually paperless.

On other note, UK TV refused to show an episode of Family Guy which features Peter running over people in a marathon.

And also the film Four Lions, which features the main 4 characters as muslim jihadists, was also removed from film rotation (black comedy, they all bomb a marathon at the end of it... pretty good film actually).

Once again The Onion is not only timely but prescient.

The last working computer my station had ran on Windows 98. And that was about a year ago...

[Skidz]

Anyone know what time the FBI press con was moved to?

God, how old are your toughbooks? Newest ones we have are all i5-i7's with 4gb ram and run faster then some of our report writing room desktops.

[Plow]

according to fox the courthouse thing was a prank call and the fbi is saying that's why the press conference is delayed

of course, everyone else is doing this ridiculous silly thing where they're covering the president giving a live speech, so I'm guessing that's the real reason

haven't heard anything about how long it will be or anything yet

There are about 6 land-locked countries in Europe. They're mostly not land-locked.

This didn't sound right, so nerd-self had to check.

I count 11 if we aren't counting micro states.

Spoiler: show

switzerland, austria, luxembourg, kosovo, macedonia, moldova, hungary, czech republic, belarus, slovakia, serbia

Granted, these all are tiny compared to most of the non-landlocked one but ya. Figured I'd put this out there.

I somehow feel that he meant interconnected. As in they are all linked with each other.

I like to think that for every jackass there are two people who help.

I like to think this, even if it may not be true.

FBI have arrested someone in or near Tupelo, Mississippi in connection with the ricin letters. According to CNN, so grain of salt lately, etc
