Interesting picture of Tripathi with shaggy hair about midway down this page: http://www.capitalbay.com/headline/324640-sunil-tripathi-case-new-surveillance-video-shows-missing-brown-student-leaving-his-home-on-the-day-of-his-disappearance-as-his-brother-reveals-the-22-year-old-suffers-from-depression.html

Looks a bit more like the suspect.  Maybe meaningless.  Not too different from how I look when in dire need of a haircut.

Still, very curious.

Quote
Updated 12:02 a.m.: MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday night reporting shots fired on the university campus. MIT's school newspaper, The Tech, reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." That report is backed up by CBS News's Bonney Kapp who reports hearing "officer down" on the police scanner just before the MIT alert went out. The Tech followed up a few minutes later, reporting that the injured officer was a member of the MIT campus police and was taken to Mass. General Hospital. According to the Massachusetts State Police, the officer died from his wounds just before midnight.

Damn, what is WITH this week?

Obviously a hoax. Boston has strict gun control laws -- this sort of thing can't happen there.

Oh yeah, I forgot.  Clearly, the permit system worked perfectly here, so no dead cop!

Plus, that "no guns on campus" thing worked to perfection!

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Word I'm picking up on other websites where people are listening to the police scanners is there are automatic weapons, grenades, explosions, and possible IED's involved. Might be the marathon bombers.

Edit: Here's a reddit thread discussing what's going over the scanner:

Cool link, sounds ongoing, an advisement for plainclothes to be identifiable and stick with uniforms in order to not get shot. Leaving it up to listen in background.

MIT campus cop got shot tonight.


Our "non-suspect" who is extremely armed and dangerous?  Hiding with a sympathetic friend at a neighboring school, or using the MIT computer lab or library for anonymous computer use?

This has nothing to do with the school, the 7-11 robbery was in between harvard and MIT, and you can't get anonymous computer use at MIT, so stop throwing the school in there.

Oh?  
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_POLICE_CONVERGE_MASS

"AP identified the surviving bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old who had been living in Cambridge, just outside Boston, and said he "may be armed and dangerous."

Sunil is an odd name for a Chechen.but good on you for promulgating some other dude's name.

No one.  Just another random person "identified" by social media.

The violence began around 10:30 p.m., with the robbery of a 7-11 in nearby Cambridge, authorities said. The two men then fatally shot an MIT campus police officer and carjacked a Mercedes sport-utility vehicle at gunpoint, keeping the vehicle's owner hostage for about a half-hour, police said. The owner was released at a gas station in Cambridge, authorities said. He wasn't injured.

Quote
Law enforcement officials said the tumult began just before 11 p.m., when the suspects approached a police officer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and shot him in the head.
The two then stole the officer’s cruiser, robbed a nearby 7-Eleven, carjacked a Mercedes SUV and briefly kidnapped the driver, the sources said. The suspects threw explosives out the window during the chase that followed, they said. A Boston transit police officer was shot and wounded, authorities said.

Been listening to the scanner feed all night. In short, running gun battles, IED's, improvised grenades, etc. going down in Boston for the last 9 hours or so.

It seems they may have the second brother holed up in his house and surrounded.

Live feed from Fox in Boston.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Sounds like a third suspect might of left on an Amtrack train. Also don't know if I heard correctly but it sounds like black hat, the older brother, was ran over by white hat during the shoot out. ???
