(14,040 posts)Granted they haven't had a trial to prove their guilt but the evidence is there if the younger of the two gives up.

(114,615 posts)A witness who remembers #1 walking close to the wall at the scene of the first explosion where the backpack was left.
Video of them slowly leaving the scene with no backpacks.
Then there's that firefight and throwing a pressure cooker bomb at the cops. Fortunately for the cops, it lid came off, making it blow up a little less harmfully.
So it's a bit more than just pictures of two guys with packs.
ETA: Oh, and there's the carjacked guy who said they bragged about it to him.

(15,689 posts)Said one of them looked him in eye set down the bag, 2 minutes later - BOOM, identified suspect's photo.
Mutt and Jeff used ieds in running gun battle with police, pressure cooker bomb recovered from scene acc. to civilian statement to press.
Get used to these guys being guilty is my advice.

Photos and ID of him robbing the 7-11 store.
Video of both of them throwing bombs at the police last night.
It's overwhelming--give this up.

(13,879 posts)he is a suspect..."guilty" is what a trial with jurors is for.
Also, hiding out in a boat doesn't exactly scream "not guilty."

(3,379 posts)All they've been doing is skipping around bean town, throwing flowers around, liberating kittens and petting unicorns. They're definitely not doing anything suspicious or crazy like throwing bombs, shooting at cops or running over their dead explosive-packed brother...
Excuse me while I leave this here:

(22,602 posts)Next you'll be demanding the evidence supporting evolution, right?
The Velveteen Ocelot
(130,533 posts)and National Guard and FBI and ATF agents had nothing else to do, so they just picked these two guys at random. There's no evidence, not a bit, except maybe for the eyewitness identification of the guy who lost both of his legs and who saw one of the brothers set down his backpack just before it blew up. And the fact that the brothers ambushed and shot that cop, which they wouldn't have done unless they had a reason. And then they carjacked a guy's Mercedes, took his ATM card and demanded his PIN number so they could get money from his bank account, and told the guy that they were the bombers!
So, yeah, I think there's just a bit of evidence.

(23,272 posts)they used the exact same type of bomb when they were cornered - throwing them at the cops.
There's other stuff but you can go from there.

(23,272 posts)The older brother posted a video to a radical Islamic jihadist site
and other stuff that frankly right now you can research yourself. I'm more interested in the capture of the younger brother. Do some research before you post questions like this, I do believe that's why you are getting such a sarcastic response. This info has been all over this site already today, 10x in some cases.
Do some research.

(34,658 posts)Jeff Bauman, the man who became the bloodied face of the victims after the Boston bomb attacks, provided the key identification of the dead suspect.

Mr Bauman was waiting to see his girlfriend finish the race when a man in a white cap and sweatshirt dropped a backpack at his feet. The 27-year-old lost both his legs in the explosion.
Despite being heavily drugged, Mr Bauman got word to the authorities that he had seen one of the bombers.
He told FBI investigators that he looked in the eyes of Tamerlan Tsarnaev as he planted the bomb. He went on to identify him in a photograph.
Mr Baumans brother, Chris, said: He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me.

(34,658 posts)Two people moving around in a crowd after an explosion proves nothing except that they were there. We still don't know what was in the backpacks.
He looked Jeff Bauman in the eye and set the backpack at his feet, blowing both his legs off... that's a face he'll never forget.
