Or he thought it would look like a cool thing to pretend to be doing while he walked away.

Had the same thought about Holmes' alleged takes-phone-call, gets-up-and-exits, comes-back-dressed-to-frag thing, as bad as I want him to have been a Sirhan who only thinks he was in the kitchen at the time, as he came down off the injection they gave him in the car.

Another herring, IMHO.

Boston Bombing Victim in Iconic Photo Helped Identify Attackers
By Asjylyn Loder & Esmé E. Deprez - 2013-04-19T01:45:45Z

Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.

Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.

Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.

“He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.

Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terror in the U.S. since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores.

While still in intensive care, Jeff Bauman gave the FBI a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Bauman’s information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said.

Video Released

The bureau released video images of two men yesterday. Both men have on hooded sweatshirts under dark jackets; one is wearing a light-colored baseball cap turned backward on his head, while the other is wearing a dark baseball cap facing forward. Both are carrying large backpacks.

“I’ve had many times alone with him, and yes, he told me every single detail,” Chris Bauman said.


Paul Bresson, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, declined to comment on specific tips in the continuing investigation. Two FBI agents interviewed at the Boston office declined to confirm or deny the account.
[...]
It would take hours before the Bauman family knew what had happened to Jeff. They learned about it the way much of the world did: the grisly image on television of their son being wheeled from the scene, his lower legs destroyed.

I dont get why nobody is talking about site ONE this is all site TWO, so wtf, I just dont see how they could have done both. Thats a few blocks awy not a real short distance, I am sure 4thbase can weigh in on how far apart the bombs were but it seems to me we have to have a SECOND TEAM OF GUYS at bomb site one, yet no mention of that in the media, everyone focusing on bomb site two as if this case is now solved. We need to get people focusing on site ONE. Anyone who posts on REDDIT please make comments about what the fuck is going on at site one so they can get on that too.


Why couldn't they have detonated both bombs? There are a lot of electronic devices available that send signals short and long distances. A simple toggle switch would allow one to detonate both, one right after another. This stuff is super simple with cell phones as well.

I keep wondering, and have yet to see this brought up, why did the bombs go off exactly when they did? Does anybody have any info on how many runners finished in front of those who were just crossing the finish line when the explosions happened?

Why wouldn't they want want to have targeted the winner, when there were more celebs and VIPS hanging about? Wondering if they were going after somebody specifically? Maybe that sounds far fetched... But speculation is cheap right now.

"campaigning on a campaign" sort of seems to me written by a 13 year old, I saw it too, interesting but it doesnt sound like written by a professional IMO.

Youre certainly right, my gut tells me there were more guys involved but my gut isnt right often lol


We will see what happens.
